The disclosure includes a computational system implemented with respect to a novel computational architecture for operating an externally-defined data based on client-defined rules. In one of the implementations, the architecture is utilized in a billing and customer service program. The architecture includes a engine unit which includes a number of processing modules which internally operate on generic data units that are independent of the particular application. A metadata engine receives externally-defined data and relates the externally-defined data and the relates the externally-defined data to the generic data units for use for the engine unit. A rules-based engine provides to the engine unit information related to the client defined rules. In this manner, the engine unit can be reused in a large part in a variety of different environments.

Operational system for operating on client defined rules

A method and apparatus for stripping housing from a cable. The apparatus includes a frame having an interior channel or passage for receiving a cable therethrough and an exterior. The frame has a guide coupled to the frame interior for supporting the cable when the cable is received through the frame and moved axially therethrough. Disposed in the frame is an adjustable shaft having a first end and a second end. The shaft is adjustably coupled to the frame so that the first end is disposed in the frame interior opposite the guide and can be quickly and safely adjusted relative to the guide depending on the size of cable disposed therein. The first end also has a blade attached thereto for splitting the housing of the cable when the cable is moved axially through the frame interior while supported by the guide. The guide supports the cable so that the housing on the cable is perforated by the blade when the adjustable shaft is adjusted to press the blade against the cable. The frame exterior has a separator mechanism adjustably coupled thereto for efficiently stripping split cable housing from the cable.
