How to programmatically unplug & replug an arbitrary USB device?

Question

I\'m trying to fix a non-responsive USB device that\'s masquerading as a virtual COM port. Manual replugging works, but there may be up to 12 of these units. Is there an API

If you have more than one of these on any particular host machine, you might save some time/frustration by plugging them into their own dedicated USB hub out from the machine - at least it's only one cable to unplug/plug to restart a couple of devices at a time.

You've probably thought of that, of course. :-)
