A garbage collector that performs collection incrementally in accordance with the train algorithm employs remembered sets to keep track of locations where references to objects in respective car sections were written. The remembered sets are implemented as multi-level hash tables. The entries in the top-level hash table are pointers to constituent hash tables in which entries representing the reference locations are placed. When a constituent hash table becomes full, the collector thins it by allocating a new constituent table, transferring some of the previously full table's entries to the new table, and dividing further reference-location-representing entries among them in accordance with a hash function having an expanded range.

To use the memory space more effectively, cell memory can be shared by an input link and all output links. To prevent one flow from occupying the entire memory space, a threshold may be provided for the queue. The queue threshold may accommodate the RTT delay of the link. Queue length information about a downstream switch module may be sent to an upstream switch module via cell headers in every credit update period per link. Cell and / or credit loss may be recovered from. Increasing the credit update period reduces the cell header bandwidth but doesn't degrade performance significantly. Sending a credit per link simplifies implementation and eliminates interference between other links.

The tang portion of a clamp member of the carpet clamp deforms elastically, and thus the portion which holds a wire harness can be moved. Further, the tang portion is pressed (deformed) in the direction of a bottom wall by a groove portion. Thus the tang portion fits to the wire harnesses having different diameters. Further, in the case where the wire harness has a small diameter, the tang portion of the clamp member deforms elastically, and thus the portion which holds the wire harness is moved, and thus the outside dimension of the carpet clamp becomes substantially small in accordance with the wire harness having a small diameter. The carpet clamp has a height which is smaller by a dimension than in the case where the wire harness has a large diameter.
