Methods and apparatus are provided for label switched routing in fiber channel networks. Techniques are provided for implementing label switching based on particular characteristics of fiber channel networks. By using label switching, mechanisms such as traffic engineering, security, and tunneling through networks that do not support fiber channel frames can be implemented.

Label switching in fibre channel networks

Methods and apparatus are provided for label switched routing in fibre channel networks. Techniques are provided for implementing label switching based on particular characteristics of fibre channel networks. By using label switching, mechanisms such as traffic engineering, security, and tunneling through networks that do not support fibre channel frames can be implemented.

Methods and apparatus are provided for improving fibre channel frame delivery. Techniques are provided for the in order delivery of frames by intelligently delaying or dropping selected fibre channel frames. Other techniques are provided for in order delivery by using label switching and frame labels. The various techniques can be applied during circumstances such as a link state or channel change.

The present invention provides a truck assembly for use on a skateboard. The truck assembly preferably includes a base block having a battery chamber and a circuit board cavity, a battery contained within the battery chamber, a circuit board housed inside the circuit board cavity, wherein the circuit board is in electrical communication with the battery, and an effect module that is operably connected to the circuit board to produce a selected effect.

Hand manipulable tissue cutting apparatus formed in a scissors like configuration and having first and second clamp members pivotably coupled with first and second jaws in opposing facing interoperative relation. On at least one clamp member surface a plane is defined at the area of the jaws, the plane being generally perpendicular to the opposing abutting faces of the jaws. A sheath is provided of a first sheath portion attached, or formed integrally with a first clamp member, and a second sheath portion attached or formed integrally with the second clamp member. In the closed clamp position, the first and second sheath portions form generally parallel guide recesses. A blade member is provided with a width and thickness sufficient for sliding within the guide recesses so-formed. In the open position of the clamp, the first sheath portion integral with the first clamp member is configured for retaining the blade in its retracted position. A spring biased latch strip is attached on one end to the first clamp member, with the other end of the latch strip having a projection for engaging a detent in the side edge of the blade with the blade retracted. Means are provided on the first clamp member for precluding unintentional withdrawal of the blade. In operation the tissue is clamped, after which the blade is pushed forward (relative to the operator position) for cutting the so-clamped tissue. In an alternative embodiment, the jaws are adjustable to enable only partial cutting of the clamped tissue or body part.

An exercise bench comprising a frame, a platform disposed on the frame, a pair of weight supports connected to the frame at one end and optionally, a removable or fixed leg exercise device. The weight supports are angled at an obtuse angle facing the foot of the frame so that the weight supports do not interfere with a user's arms or barbells during bench pressing exercise. The platform under a user's torso is formed of a solid base and a padding, with the solid base and optionally the padding having a contoured shape cutout under the user's shoulder blades to permit articulation of the shoulder blades or movement of the shoulders below the plane of the platform. The frame also comprises a head section and a foot section, with the foot section being vertically moveable from a position coplanar with the head section to a position thereabove to permit a user to raise the foot section to a comfortable height so that when performing leg exercises using the leg exercise device, the user's feet do not touch the ground. The weight supports have hook members at the top thereof adapted to receive a dip handles for dip exercises.
