Port occupancy detection for connector panels is provided. In one embodiment, a connector panel comprises: a communications unit communicatively coupled to a network; and at least one modular port adapter assembly comprising: a plurality of communications couplers; and a plurality of port occupancy sensors each coupled to a sensor circuit. Each of the port occupancy sensors are configured to sense when the couplers are occupied. The panel communications unit obtains from the sensor circuit which of the couplers are occupied. The panel communications unit communicates port occupancy information to a gateway indicating circuit which of the couplers are occupied. A chassis including sidewalls extends between a front and a rear to define an interior, and including guides on the sidewalls. A plurality of blades mounted to the guides of the chassis, each blade including a midplane bus assembly configured to communicatively couple the sensor circuit to the panel communication unit.

An electrical tilt apparatus is provided, to ensure that when a quantity of serial ports on a remote control unit (RCU) is limited, independent electrical tilt on RF signals is provided. The apparatus includes: an RCU, and at least one combiner unit and multiple phase shifters connected to the RCU. Each of the at least one combiner units is connected to a different serial port on the RCU and connected to at least two RF modules; receives, at each time, an electrical tilt signal from one of the RF modules, and sends the electrical tilt signal to the RCU. The RCU receives the electrical tilt signal from each combiner unit, and drives, according to the electrical tilt signal, a first phase shifter that corresponds to a first RF module to move.

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a frame structure, and the frame structure includes an outer metallic portion including a first metallic material and forming at least a portion of an outer surface of the electronic device, and an inner metallic portion including a second metallic material different from the first metallic material and laterally surrounded by the outer metallic portion, and a first inner polymeric portion isolated from the inner metallic portion and at least partially laterally surrounded by the outer metallic portion. The electronic device includes a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to a portion of the outer metallic portion.

There is provided a numerical controller that automatically acquires detailed information on a wired device prior to connection setting.

The numerical controller is connectable to a plurality of devices, and includes a connection information acquisition unit that acquires connection information on each of the devices, including information indicating a connection order and a kind of each of the devices by communicating with each of the devices in a hardware level, a connecting data creation unit that creates connecting data using the connection information, a connection processing execution unit that executes connection processing with each of the devices in a software level using the connecting data, and a detailed information acquisition unit that acquires detailed information from each of the devices subjected to the connection processing.

A mobile electronic communications device performs millimeter wave antenna management for a plurality of mm-wave antennas based on whether a human presence exists within a sense distance of at least one of the mm-wave antennas and whether one or more other mm-wave antennas on the device are in use, or enabled. For a given antenna, the human presence may be detected thermally, but with different confidence levels applied depending upon the state of the other mm-wave antennas on the device.

Method for topology determination in a mobile communications site, wherein the mobile communications site has n nodes each having m ports. In determining (S.sub.1), the number of existing nodes is determined. In designating, one of these nodes is designated as the master node and the others as slave nodes. In selecting, a slave node is selected as a test slave node and the communication of the other slave nodes is prevented. In testing, a test is performed to determine via which ports of the master node and via which ports of the test slave node a communication is possible. Thereafter, selecting and testing are repeated for the other slave nodes, wherein in the method step selecting, a different slave node is selected as the test slave node in each case. In the method step generating, a connection topology is then generated for the master node.

Methods of executing patching connection changes in a patching field are provided in which an electronic work order is received on a display located at the patching field, the electronic work order specifying the patching connection change. A technician may perform the patching connection change. Then, an electronic message may be sent from the patching field indicating that the patching change has been completed.
