International Classification:

E04H 9/04

US Classification:

52 791, 52 63, 52 7912, 521696

Abstract:

A blast and ballistic protective wall assembly for use on an exterior of a container includes a frame having four corner posts, two lower side members having fork lift openings formed therethrough, two upper side members, two lower cross members, two upper cross members, lower corner castings attached to the lower ends of the corner posts, and upper corner castings attached to the upper ends of the corner posts, the frame supporting side walls, end walls, and a roof of the container. The blast and ballistic protective wall assembly further includes an attachment member attached to a portion of the frame and a plurality of composite panels. One end of each panel is attached to the attachment member, and the other end of the panel is attached to another panel, a portion of the frame, or another attachment member. Each panel is thereby attached to a wall of the container.

International Classification:

G02B 6/38
H04L 12/24
G02B 6/44

Abstract:

A connectivity appliance that can interconnect, optical fiber communication paths of one fiber density to optical fiber communication paths of a different density, for either breakout or aggregation functionality is provided. The connectivity appliance that can interconnect high density connectors, e.g., multi-fiber connectors, to a plurality of low density connectors, e.g., single fiber optic connectors. The connectivity appliance can determine the presence of connectors inserted into the connectivity appliance adapters, determine the characteristics of the cables and connectors inserted into the connectivity appliance and/or in close proximity to the connectivity appliance. Each connector on the connectivity appliances can have one or more associated indicators, e.g., LEDs, on either the front panel or the rear panel that is in close proximity to the relevant adapter and that provides visual indications associated with the connectors.
