Computer operations are critical for handling the data processing needs of consumers, business, and government. There is an inherent need for computerized systems to perform the work as accurately and for as long as possible. CHOP and PEP support these goals.
Centralized Hardware Outerlink Protocol (CHOP) provides services to a primary node at ISO/OSI Network Model layer one, physical layer. It is intended to unburden internetworking resources by fusing and implementing the requirements of various electrical and engineering standards. Such standards include, but are not limited, to:
Because computer connections are not widely used in electrical bonding and grounding, a whole new form factor created under CHOP easily marries the two different systems, and causes them to function well together. Services provided by CHOP include, but are not limited to:
A primary node is defined as any hardware attached to and communicating across any network that must operate without interruption or damage. An example of a primary node is a computer or printer attached to a local area network.
An outerlink is defined as a connection point at the primary node that leads away from the node to another node or service, such as power or communications. An example of an outerlink is an AC power supply cord or a port that connects a computer to a printer.
CHOP integrates all outerlinks of a primary node at one point kept apart from the primary node. CHOP ensures that all, and every, outerlink present on one primary node is directly connected to and through this one point. Thus, CHOP creates a node-centric, integrated systems bonding point (ISBP) that is served by the Proxy Earth Protocol. This point is called the proxy node.
The proxy node is a special ISBP built for computers and their peripherals. It has a unique form factor, and is based on CHOP and PEP. Like a bodyguard or double, the proxy node electrically "masquerades" as the primary node to draw any flashover, leaving the primary node unharmed and unaffected so that it continues to function.
Centralized Hardware Outerlink Protocol (CHOP) is a method for creating and configuring an indoor ISBP specifically for personal computers and their peripheral devices. CHOP promotes efficient bandwith in communications, error reduction and reliability of bits, as well as increased operational life of a primary node.
Computer people like to have their own names for things, so an ISBP for computer devices is called the proxy node.
A proxy node gathers up all the outerlinks from its primary node and integrates them. The proxy node is designed to flash over so that its primary node will not.
Because computers are susceptible to electromagnetic and electrostatic energy charges, they will react to them by balancing voltages across all their inner parts. Even an Ethernet 50-ohm terminator can be damaged by a nearby electrical storm. CHOP and PEP are meant to prevent such problems from occuring.
