Abstract:
Structured cabling solutions may include techniques and systems usable to route, organize, and otherwise manager wires, optical fibers, and other cables. Structured cabling solutions may include one or more chassis coupled to and movable relative to a frame to provide access to signal connectors on the chassis. Structured cabling solutions may also include labeling schemes that identify patch connectors that correspond to outlets in a structured cabling installation.
Abstract:
A peripheral component Interconnect (PCI) switch that has at least one control logic device that is capable of changing, on-demand, widths of dedicated buses is provided. The buses are PCI Express buses and thus, are composed of lanes. The control logic device is a lane enable register (LER). Each location in the LER corresponds to a lane of a dedicated bus and is used to enable or disable the corresponding lane. Consequently, widths of dedicated buses are changed by using the switch of the invention to add or subtract one or more lanes from the buses.
Abstract:
Method, system and computer program product for transferring data in a data processing system network. A method for transferring data in a data processing system network according to the invention includes determining an adapter among a plurality of adapters that has the lowest transmit latency, and assigning data to be transferred to the adapter determined to have the lowest transmit latency. The data to be transferred is then transferred by the assigned adapter. The present invention utilizes network adapters to transfer data in a more efficient manner.
Abstract:
A method to detect biological molecules in a sample which is an immuno polymerase chain reaction assay which comprises the detection of a complex which includes a ligand: nucleic acid conjugate bound to at least one biological molecule. The complex is detected by the addition of a second nucleic acid molecule which is adapted to anneal to the nucleic acid of the conjugate.
Abstract:
A method is employed to attenuate ultrasonic noise propagating in a flow stream of a fluid flow system. In particular, the method attenuates the noise propagating between a noise source and a reference point in the flow stream (wherein the reference point and the noise source are positioned in the flow stream in direct acoustic line of sight relation). The method includes positioning an absorbent element in the flow stream between the noise source and the reference point. Then, the ultrasonic noise is directed past vicinity of the absorbent element such that indirect ultrasonic noise is absorbed by the absorbent element. Preferably, the method also includes deflecting the ultrasonic noise to convert direct noise to indirect noise prior to directing the ultrasonic noise past the vicinity of the absorbent material in the flow stream. Such a method may be employed to attenuate ultrasonic noise by up to about 20 dB to 45 dB.
Abstract:
A method, system, and computer program product in a data processing system are disclosed for dynamically selecting software buffers for aggregation in order to optimize system performance. Data to be transferred to a device is received. The data is stored in a chain of software buffers. Current characteristics of the system are determined. Software buffers to be combined are then dynamically selected. This selection is made according to the characteristics of the system in order to maximize performance of the system.

Abstract:
A method for detecting a temporally oscillating source in digital video signals includes: using an imaging device to capture a sequence of input images of a scene; generating digital video signals from the sequence of input images; and processing the digital video signals using a recursive Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter technique based on a differentiated version of Goertzel's Algorithm to detect a temporally oscillating source in the digital video signals. In various embodiments, the method also includes generating a visual display of the scene including one or more graphical elements at least one of which pertains to a detected temporally oscillating source.
