Abstract: A method for optimizing throughput of a network with stations adapted to transmit data to an access point includes the step of determining a respective required throughput for each station based on: respective time periods required for decreasing a count of a respective back-off counter associated with each of the stations, a transmission packet length of the respective station, and a probability of successful transmission for of the respective station. The respective required throughput so determined is a function of a respective transmission attempt rate for the station. The method further includes the step of determining the respective transmission attempt rate for each station for maximizing a sum of the respective required throughput such that a respective fixed throughput is provided for inelastic data flow in the network, a respective proportional throughput ratio is provided for elastic data flow in the network, and the throughput of the network is maximized.

Abstract: A method improves an anti-eavesdropping (AE)-shelter that emits interference signals that protect communication between legitimate transmitters and legitimate receivers in the AE-shelter. The method includes determining a circular boundary for the AE-shelter; improving the AE-shelter by uniformly placing a number of jammers at the boundary; tuning emitting power of the jammers; and improving a coverage area of the interference signals.

Abstract: A compound suitable for treating cancer, in particular NSCLC, inhibits activity of oncogenic ROS1 kinase and ALK kinase. The compound has certain structural components such as a quinoline moiety in the backbone and at least one phenyl-containing moiety in a side chain with a hydrophobic substituent attached to the backbone via an up to 6-membered linking group as well as a further hydrophobic moiety. The presence of the structural components allows for an advantageous interaction with the ROS1 kinase domain and, further, with the ALK kinase domain. Hence, said compound represents a highly promising opportunity for patients bearing ROS1- or ALK-dependent cancer. A composition, in particular a pharmaceutical composition, includes the compound. A method for targeting cancer cells harboring an abnormality in ROS1 gene or ALK gene includes contacting a cell with the compound.

Abstract: A method for determining a background component and a dynamic component of an image frame from an under-sampled data sequence obtained in a dynamic MRI application is provided. The two components are determined by optimizing a low-rank component and a sparse component of the image frame in a sense of minimizing a weighted sum of terms. The terms include a Schattenp=1/2 (S1/2-norm) of the low-rank component, an L1/2-norm of the sparse component additionally sparsified by a sparsifying transform, and an L2-norm of a difference between the sensed data sequence and a reconstructed data sequence. The reconstructed one is obtained by sub-sampling the image frame according to an encoding or acquiring operation. The background and dynamic components are the low-rank and sparse components, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that the method outperforms an existing technique that minimizes a nuclear-norm of the low-rank component and an L1-norm of the sparse component.

Abstract: For sustainable development, a refinery is required to save energy as much as possible so as to reduce the emission of greenhouse gas. In crude oil operations, oil transportation from storage tanks to charging tanks via a pipeline consumes a large portion of energy. It is vitally important to minimize energy consumption for this process. Since the oil flow resistance is proportional to the square of oil flow rate, the relation between energy efficiency and flow rate is nonlinear, which makes the problem complicated. The present invention addresses this important issue by formulating a linear programming model for the considered problem such that it can be efficiently solved. A real-world industrial case study is used to demonstrate the applications and significance of the proposed method.

Abstract: It is very difficult to schedule a single-arm cluster tool with wafer revisiting such that wafer residency time constraints are satisfied. The present invention conducts a study on this challenging problem for a single-arm cluster tool with atomic layer deposition (ALD) process. With a so called p-backward strategy being applied, a Petri net model is developed to describe the dynamic behavior of the system. Based on the model, existence of a feasible schedule is analyzed, schedulability conditions are derived, and scheduling algorithms are presented if there is a schedule. A schedule is obtained by simply setting the robot waiting time if schedulable and it is very computationally efficient. The obtained schedule is shown to be optimal. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the proposed approach.
