Assignee:

Alcatel USA Sourcing, L.P. - Plano TX

International Classification:

H04L 1266

US Classification:

370355, 370386, 379219, 709229, 709249

Abstract:

An integrated multi-services access platform includes a time division multiplex interface coupled to a time division multiplex network, a matrix in communications with the time division multiplex interface, a frame relay groomer coupled to the matrix, an asynchronous transfer mode matrix coupled to the frame relay groomer, and an asynchronous transfer mode interface coupled to a frame relay/asynchronous transfer mode network. The integrated multi-services access platform may further include an integrated element manager, which includes a centralized management system coupled to a time division multiplex operational support system, a frame relay/asynchronous transfer mode network management system interworking unit coupled to at least one frame relay/asynchronous transfer mode network management system, an element management function unit operable for service provisioning, fault management, element and network monitoring, and metric measurements, an element management database having service and network configurations, status, and billing information, a simple network management protocol unit, and at least one application program interface coupled to at least one telecommunications element.

International Classification:

H05K 7/20

US Classification:

165 47, 16510433, 16510434, 165122, 165166, 361695, 361696, 361697, 361690, 454184, 312236

Abstract:

A cabinet which utilizes an air-to-air heat exchanger to remove heat generated from within the cabinet prevents water and dust from entering the air-to-air heat exchanger by forcing cooler external air up along a first side wall, through the air-to-air heat exchanger, and down along a second side wall.

US Classification:

361716, 361721, 361801, 361803

Abstract:

A mechanical set of plates is able to simultaneously and quickly removably secure and remove one or more printed circuit boards (PCBs) in an enclosure in one single motion, and act as a heat sink to conduct heat away from the PCBs. The PCBs are removably secured through a clamping mechanism that may be a screw type or cam lever action by clamping down on the exposed card edges, thus allowing thermal transfer to begin on all cards. The apparatus may be used with any enclosure requiring thermal transfer from PCBs to the enclosure, including cages and enclosures that may or may not use forced airflow (fans or blowers) for heat dissipation.
