Granted: 2008-08-26
Abstract: An interconnect apparatus for electrically connecting Telco wires to subscriber wires is arranged and configured to withstand overcurrent and overvoltage conditions. The interconnect apparatus includes a jack, a first set of contacts, and a first set of by-pass conductors. The first set of by-pass conductors is electrically connected to the first set of contacts and has a greater current carrying capacity than the first set of contacts. The interconnect apparatus further includes a second set of by-pass conductors and a plug. The second set of by-pass conductors is electrically connected to the first set of by-pass conductors when the plug and jack are engaged. The second set of by-pass conductors may also have a greater current carrying capacity than the first set of contacts.  Preferably, the first set of by-pass conductors is spaced sufficiently apart and the second set of by-pass conductors is spaced sufficiently apart to substantially eliminate arcing.

Title: Storage virtualization in a storage area network
Inventor: NAHUM NELSON
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2001-04-04
Granted: 2011-03-22
Abstract: A distributed architecture for the virtualization of storage capacity in a Storage Area Network (SAN) and for the management of virtual and physical memory is described. There is provided a virtualization software computer program consisting of two portions, namely virtualization and translation, each portion residing in a different location but both portions operating interactively. A SAN coupling an array of hosts (1) via a Network Switch (2) to an array of storage devices (4) is equipped with a Storage Virtualization Manager (3). The SVM operating the virtualization computer software handles physical storage capacity virtualization and metadata management. The Network Switch routes storage I/O operations between the hosts and the storage devices, while the translation software resides in a processor, in either a host or elsewhere on the SAN. Although the Network Switch and the SVM decouple tasks to relieve load and prevent bottlenecks, practical implementation permits to design the Network Switch, the processor(s) operating the virtualization program, and the SVM in many configurations spanning from distributed to integrated packaging. The virtualization software also supports real time configuration adaptation of changes occurring in the configuration of the array of hosts and of storage device of the SAN.

Title: Method to selectively inhibit bacterial growth using an aminoalkyl phosphonic selective agent
Inventor: DRUGGAN PATRICK
IPC: C12N1/20
Filed: 2001-09-14
Granted: 2012-04-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of selectively inhibiting for growth of non-target bacterial cells in a mixed population of target and non-target cells, the method comprising the steps of: (a) contacting the mixed population with a selective agent which comprises a carrier moiety linked to a toxic moiety. The selective agent either comprises an amino acid residue linked by a scissile peptide bond linkage to a toxic moiety or comprises a sugar N-linked by a glycosidase-cleavable linkage to a toxic moiety. The selective agent is able to enter non-target cells in which the scissile linkage is cleaved, releasing the toxic moiety to exert a toxic effect on the non-target cells causing inhibition of the growth of the non-target cells, whereas the selective agent is unable to enter target cells and/or the scissile linkage is not cleaved in target cells and/or toxic moiety, if released from the selective agent, does not exert a toxic effect on the target cell; and (b) culturing the cells in conditions which allow for growth of non-inhibited cells. The toxic moiety comprises L-aminoalkyl phosphonic acid or a salt thereof.
