In a system comprising a first fabric and a plurality of devices coupled to the fabric by Fibre Channel connections, the devices are logically grouped to form configurations and zones. A configuration includes at least one zone, and each zone includes at least one device as a member of the zone. Communications between the devices is restricted according to the configuration currently in effect. For example, one device may be permitted to communicate with another device only if they are members of a common zone.

An addressing system and method are provided for reducing or eliminating an amount of input from an individual into a data communications device to facilitate data transfer. The addressing system facilitates data communications between a number of user devices linked to a data communications network. The addressing system includes a number of globally unique identifiers, each of the globally unique identifiers being associated with a respective one of the user devices linked to the data communications network. The addressing system also includes a number of user names, each of the user names is associated with one of the user devices, the user names being subject to change. A correlation table stored in a central service device that is in data communication with the user devices. The correlation table links each of the user names to a corresponding one of the globally unique identifiers. The central service device employs the globally unique identifiers to search a user database for a number of linking parameters to establish a data transfer between at least two of the user devices in an automated fashion.

The invention provides a system for and method of precalibrating the position of the focal spot of an X-ray tube before its installation in a CT scanner system so that the focal spot of the tube is properly aligned with the off-focal aperture, slice-defining aperture and detectors of the scanner system. The precalibration is performed using an interface registration support that receives the X-ray tube and supports the X-ray tube on a mount provided in either the precalibration system or the scanner system. The mount of the precalibration system duplicates the mount of the scanner system, so that desired position of the focal spot in the scanner system relative to the scanner system mount is duplicated in the precalibration system relative to the precalibration system mount. Adjustments in the position of the focal spot are carried out by measuring any displacement of the focal spot of the X-ray tube relative to an interface registration support which is referenced to the desired position of the focal spot by registering the registration support to the mount of the precalibration system. The as-adjusted X-ray tube and its interface registration support can then be installed in the CT scanner without the need for subsequent calibration adjustments. Additional testing of the X-ray tube can also be provided.

Preassembled detector modules, each containing several detectors, and preassembled anti-scatter modules, each containing several anti-scatter plates, are mounted on a spine, which is attached to the rotating gantry of a CAT scanner by adjustable end supports. A pair of dowel pins in accurately drilled reference holes in the spine control the location and alignment of each module, one in a module round hole and one in a module slot. Critical dimensions in the modules are referenced to the hole, the slot, and reference surfaces on the modules contact the spine so as to reduce tolerance build-up. As such the modules can be easily manufactured using standard machine tools, and easily assembled and secured to a rotatable disk of a tomographic system.

Temperature control of solid state detectors carried on the rotating gantry of computed tomography equipment is impractical for very detailed images. The temperatures of all of the detectors in the array can be equalized, however, by closely coupling them to a thermally massive object and isolating this combination from the environment. Significant thermal gradients are thereby removed from the array, and time is removed as a calibrating factor. The detectors are mounted on a common heat sink which provides the thermal mass, and the heat sink is covered with insulation and attached to the gantry by thermally isolating mounts, such as thin flexible stainless steel plates.

A network layer bridge for connection between network segments with different data link layer addressing. The bridge has includes: plurality of ports, each for connection to different network segments, wherein a first port is for connection to a first network segment and a second port for connection to respective first and second network segment. The bridge also has a memory for storing network layer addresses, for nodes together with corresponding port identifiers and data link layer addresses, and the memory is adapted to store data link layer addresses of more than one type; the bridge also has a means for and a unit for discovering corresponding port identifier and data link layer address for a network layer address. For which these are not already known. The bridge is adapted to forwards a message from a first node connected through the first network segment to the first port to a second node connected through the second -network segment to the second port when the corresponding port identifier and data link level address for both the first and second nodes are stored in the memory; the message being addressed with the network layer address of the second node, and the network layer bridge directs directing the message through the corresponding port to the corresponding data link level address for the second node.
