A method for engineering of a connection in a WDM photonic network with a plurality of flexibility sites connected by links comprises calculating a physical end-to-end route between a source node and a destination node and setting-up a communication path along this end-to-end route. An operational parameter of the communication path is continuously tested and compared with a test threshold. The path is declared established whenever the operational parameter is above the margin tolerance. The established path is continuously monitored by comparing the operational parameter with a maintenance threshold. A regenerator is switched into the path whenever the operational parameter is under the respective threshold, or another path is assigned to the respective connection. An adaptive channel power turn-on procedure provides for increasing gradually the power level of the transmitters in the path while measuring an error quantifier at the destination receiver until a preset error quantifier value is reached. As the connection ages, the power is increased so as to maintain the error quantifier at, or under the preset value. The path operation is controlled using a plurality of optical power / gain control loops, each for monitoring and controlling a group of optical devices, according to a set of loop rules.

A data processing apparatus and method are provided for controlling access to memory. The data processing apparatus comprises main processing logic operable to execute a sequence of instructions in order to perform a process, and subsidiary processing logic operable to perform at least part of the process on behalf of the main processing logic. A memory is provided that is accessible by the main processing logic when performing the process, the main processing logic defining a portion of the memory to be allocated memory accessible to the subsidiary processing logic when performing part of the process on behalf of the main processing logic. Further, a memory management unit is provided that is programmable by the main processing logic and operable to control access to the allocated memory by the subsidiary processing logic. The main processing logic is arranged to program the memory management unit such that for an access request issued by the subsidiary processing logic relating to the allocated memory, the memory management unit produces a memory address and one or more associated memory attributes identifying one or more properties of the allocated memory at that memory address.

A rotor core which has relatively high rigidity, can ensure sufficient magnetic performance, and can be produced at a cheaper cost with a relatively small-scale facility. A claw-equipped core and a yoke are manufactured separately. After fitting the yoke to a fitting portion formed in the claw-equipped core, a part of the claw-equipped core in the vicinity of the fitting portion is axially pressed to plastically flow into an annular groove formed in the yoke, thereby integrally joining the claw-equipped core and the yoke to each other. Thus, a large-scaled manufacturing facility is not required, and claws of the claw-equipped core are hard to open in the radial direction even under the action of a centrifugal force during high-speed rotation. A stator core and the claws of the claw-equipped core can be positioned closer to each other, and deterioration of magnetic performance can be avoided.

A device used to ensure that a ladder is properly leveled includes an L-shaped base having one arm oriented at a right angle with respect to a second arm in one plane and at a 75° angle with respect to the second arm in a second plane. One arm includes a clip element for releasable attachment to a ladder. Bubble levels are located in each arm and are used to ensure that a ladder on which the device is mounted is level in two planes.

A pole base bolt template that provides easy and accurate means to hold pole anchor bolts and a rebar cage in a pole base form while pouring concrete or other filling material into the form. The pole base bolt template comprises a plurality of arms disposed around a central hub, each arm comprising a slotted bolt hole, bolt diameter markings, and a form hook adaptable to secure the template to a form, and each arm being shaped so as to raise the entire template above the top of the form. The template further comprises a plurality of gaps between the arms that allow easy access to the form and the filling material.

A concrete floor leveling device includes a transmission device and a power source is located in a body and connected to wheels which are connected to the body. A connection unit is connected to the body and a blade is connected to the body by the connection unit. The power source outputs a stable power to drive the blade to level the concrete floor and to ensure that the blade levels the concrete floor with even force.

A lighting system uses an array of lighting elements which provide light in different directions. The intensity of the lighting elements is controlled in dependence on a time-varying parameter related to at least one of a position of a light emitting or light reflecting body, and an intensity, color or color temperature of the light emitted or reflected by the body, such that the system can simulate directional sunlight.

A combination tool of the locknut wrench type, which includes a leveling device and a screwdriver blade on the opposite end. The locknut head and screwdriver ends may be interchanged depending on the size locknut wrench needed and the type of screwdriver needed.

A personnel basket that provides a partially enclosed work platform that may be readily attached or detached from the end of a crane boom and may be maintained level with the ground when suspended from a crane boom above ground and that is also capable of being collapsed from a work ready position into a stowed position of substantially smaller spatial volume when not in use.

A tool includes a coupling, an inner adjustment sleeve, and an outer adjustment sleeve. The coupling connects a rotary tool to the inner adjustment sleeve. An adjustable portion of the inner adjustment sleeve is threadedly received in the outer adjustment sleeve. An offset aperture in the free end of the outer adjustment sleeve receives a tip of a valve stem for grinding. An optional cup at the end of the outer adjustment sleeve stabilizes the tool. A grinding bit with a shaft retained in a collet of the rotary tool is contained internally, in a channel, extending through the tool.
