Title: Network management system free of messaging,commands and data format conversions
Inventor: SANDSTROM MARK HENRIK
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2007-11-07
Abstract: Telecommunication network management operations are performed based on accessing network management data (NMD) files via GUIs and general purpose computers including a network management system (NMS) server, and automatic routines for transferring binary NMD files between the general purpose computers and remote network elements (NEs) being managed. A system user produces configuration files at the NMS server for NEs using a network management GUI, and the hardware of NEs automatically complete the network management operations indicted by the NMD files transferred to them from the NMS server and produce their status files to the NMS server. The network management GUI displays network status based on the latest NE status files at the NMS server This provides direct, binary file transfer based NMS communication that avoids the complexity and restrictions of intermediate messaging protocols or transaction languages and conversions thereof.

Abstract: 1379682 Drawing; extruding WESTERN ELECTRIC CO Inc 8 March 1972 [9 March 1971] 10704/72 Heading B3P [Also in Division G3] The orifice 30 of a die 20 for deforming rod 2 into wire 3 is constricted if a transverse dimension of the wire 3 increases. In one embodiment, a carbide steel extrusion or drawing die 20 is surrounded by segments 19 which are engaged by an encircling band 24. The diameter of the wire 3 is monitored by a sensing device 4 producing an electrical signal proportional to the wire diameter. When the diameter of the wire 3 increases above a predetermined limit, an increase in fluid pressure in a chamber 25 is produced by a transducer 5 causing the segments 19 and the die orifice diameter to be constricted. In another embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown), the wire 3 is passed through a chamber (34) and a communicating conduit (35) supplied with fluid by a valve (39) and/or pump (38), delivering a constant rate of fluid, so that leakage of fluid occurs from the conduit (35). If the diameter of the wire increases, the clearance between it and the conduit (35) decreases causing an increase of fluid pressure in the chamber 25. A fluid pressure amplifier (41) (Fig. 4, not shown) may be positioned in the conduit 27  leading to the chamber 25.

Abstract: 269,919. Pieper, H. April 23, 1926, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure. - In transmission mechanism, which may be utilized for operating brakes, when the resistance exceeds a predetermined value, . a spring is compressed and thereby renders operative a hydraulic connection, which completes the transmission at an altered ratio. In the form shown in Fig 1, the first part of the transmission is effected by the spring 2, disposed between a member 1 secured to the driven member 3, and a shoulder 4 on a stirrup 5 carried by the driving member 6. During this motion, pistons 7, 10 carried by the driving and driven members move at the same rate, and a valve 11 is held open by a finger 12. When the spring 2 is compressed, the finger 12 leaves the valve, which thereupon closes, and the transmission is completed hydraulically at a ratio dependent on the sizes of the pistons. In a modification, the hydraulic connection comprises a cylinder 8, Fig. 2, carried by a lever 1, and containing a piston 7 connected to the driving member 6, and is operative when a valve 11 is closed, the closing being permitted by movement of a lever 12<11> consequent on the compression of the spring 2. In the forms shown in Figs, 3 and 4, the entire transmission is effected hydraulically, the first part by motion of a piston 7 in a cylinder 8 connected by a duct 17 to a cylinder containing a piston 10 connected to the driven member 3. When the spring 2 is compressed, a, valve 11 closes the duct 17, and the transmission is completed by the motion of a piston 7<1>.
