Abstract: The focus angle  of a search light (12) mounted on a
helicopter (10) or other platform (10) is narrowed or widened
by rotating a bidirectional focus control cam (42) in a clockwise
or counterclockwise direction as selected by a manually
operated three-position control switch (SW1) which determines
the rotational direction of a DC motor (28) driving the bidirectional
focus control cam (42). The DC motor (28) has first
and second terminals (92, 93) which are selectively connected
to either a DC power source (72) or ground (73) by a double-pole,
single throw dual relay (64) which reverses the polarity
and thus the direction of rotation of the DC motor (28).
The dual relay (64) is connected by the same single wire interface
(32) to the manually operated control switch (SW1), which
manually operated control switch (SW1) is within a control box
(62) located in the helicopter (10). By operating the manually
operated control switch (SW1) to connect coils (76,78) in the
dual relay (60) to either a power source (72) or to ground
(73), the coils (76, 78) are selectively energized or deenergized
causing the dual relay (64) to operate switches (SWR,
SW3) that reverse polarity of current flowing through the DC
motor (28). This selectively changes the direction of rotation
of the bidirectional cam (42) which advances and retracts a focusing
reflector (47) within the search light (12) to widen and
narrow its focus angle , thereby widening and narrowing the
area (16) illuminated by the search light beam (14) (Fig. 5).

Abstract: A node management method and system that supports multiple
SNMP agents in a single platform (e.g., a network element
or node) with capability to include the AgentX standard.
An SNMP master agent and one or more subagents are provided
for managing the node, and use the AgentX standard for
communication therebetween. At least a select portion of a
MIB associated with the management functionality of the
managed node is supported by an SNMP peer agent that is
proxied via an AgentX subagent (PSA). The PSA registers
the select MIB portion with the SNMP master agent via an
AgentX registration message. When an SNMP manager sends an
SNMP management request to the SNMP master agent, the SNMP
master agent parses the SNMP management request into one or
more AgentX protocol messages depending upon the subagents
involved. If the object identifier (OID) involved is part
of the MIB portion supported by the SNMP peer agent, the
PSA receives the appropriate AgentX message and reassembles
it into an SNMP message that is forwarded to the
SNMP peer agent. An SNMP response is generated by the SNMP
peer agent accordingly, which is returned to the PSA for
reassembly into an appropriate AgentX response. The SNMP
master agent receives all AgentX responses from the
subagents and parses them into a single SNMP management
response that is transported to the SNMP manager.
