A data sending method includes receiving, by a forwarding device using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in multiple timeslots included in a first timeslot set, multiple first encoded data blocks from a physical coding sublayer (PCS), determining, by the forwarding device according to the timeslots included in the first timeslot set and the first FlexE group, a second FlexE group and multiple timeslots included in a second timeslot set, and sending, by the forwarding device, the first encoded data blocks using the second FlexE group and in the timeslots included in the second timeslot set.

A data sending method, where the method includes receiving, by a forwarding device using a first flexible Ethernet (FlexE) group and in multiple timeslots included in a first timeslot set, multiple first encoded data blocks from a physical coding sublayer (PCS), determining, by the forwarding device according to the timeslots included in the first timeslot set and the first FlexE group, a second FlexE group and multiple timeslots included in a second timeslot set, and sending, by the forwarding device, the first encoded data blocks using the second FlexE group and in the timeslots included in the second timeslot set. The forwarding device does not need to process the first encoded data blocks in a conventional layer 2 or layer 3 forwarding mode. Therefore, a processing delay can be reduced, and a transmission delay can be reduced.

A programmable logic switch (1) for controlling electrical utilities (3), has multiple control devices (2) of the electrical utilities (3), a serial interface (5) for connecting the switch (1) to an electrical bus (6) to which other switches (1) can be connected. The serial interface (5) is configured for receiving input signals (7) from other switches (1) and transmitting output signals (8) towards other switches (1). The switch (1) comprises an output device (12) having output channels (13) connectable to the electrical utilities (3) and separate with respect to the serial interface (5), and being configured for generating control signals (14) of the electrical utilities (3) as a function of any combination of signals chosen among control signals (4), programming signals (10) and input signals (7), so to control the electrical utilities (3) as a function of a command operated by a user and programming data.

A method, computer program and apparatus are disclosed that include accessing client data records, such as, medical records. The method may include receiving a data file at a server sent from at least one client and including client requirements. The method may also include storing the received data file locally at the server, executing an application that scans the server to determine if any new data files have been received. The method may also include storing the copied data file in a data folder stored in a file cluster, updating a table stored in a database to indicate that a new file has been stored, deleting the locally stored file from the server, and moving files specified by the client requirements from an export folder of the file cluster to the server so that the at least one client may access the exported files.

Apparatuses, techniques, and methods for a security and/or automation system are described. In some cases, these may include a first user recording a message and the message being broadcast or conveyed to a second user based on the second user's identity and/or location and/or a relevant time of recording or broadcasting, among other things. The methods may include receiving a first communication from a first user, storing the first communication in memory, identifying a second user at a first location, retrieving the first communication from memory, the retrieving based at least in part on the identification of the second user, and conveying the first communication to the second user at the first location.
