Abstract:
Here is described an implementation of an object persister, which serializes an object to preserve the object's data structure and its current data. The serialized object is encoded using XML and inserted within a message. That message is transmitted to an entity over a network. Such a transmission is performed using standard Internet protocols, such as HTML. Upon receiving the serialed object, the receiving entity deserializes the object to use it. Rather than include copies of referenced objects within the serialized object, the object persister includes references to those objects. This avoids redundant inclusion of the same object and potentially infinite inclusion of the object itself that is being serialized.
Abstract:
The present invention provides formulations useful for treating infections, in particular, formulations that include the active pharmaceutical ingredient Posaconazole in an injectable suspension of particles that is stable when subjected to terminal sterilization. Preferred median particle sizes of between 1.5 and 3.0 microns are found to result in superior pharmacokinetic characteristics, such as those displayed below.
Abstract:
The tracking of mobile terminals served by base stations supported by respective switches are formed into respective peer groups of switches in which the peer groups are then formed into a hierarchical logical network having a prescribed number of levels of scope S, and in which individual ones of the switches serve as a home switch for respective ones of said wireless terminals is enhanced. Specifically, responsive to receiving a registration message sent by one of the wireless terminals, the receiving switch notifies the home switch associated with the sending terminal. The home switch, in turn, notes the current location of that terminal and sends a similar message to the switch serving the zone in which the sending wireless terminal was last located. The latter switch, responsive to receipt of the message sets a pointer that points to (a) the current location of the sending wireless terminal if the switch is within the scope of the current location of the sending terminal or (b) the home switch if the switch is outside of the scope of the current location of the sending terminal.
Abstract:
Delay times are modified in Ethernet network devices by adding a randomized time interval generated in accordance with a propagation delay between two network stations. A server in a client-server arrangement is given priority access over clients by adding to the clients' InterPacket Gap (IPG) interval a random time delay between one and two times the cable delay between the server and the corresponding client. The server can access the network media after the IPG interval, whereas clients must wait the additional random time delay before accessing the media, thereby improving server throughput and overall network throughput. Collision mediation is improved by adding a randomly selected integer multiple of a propagation delay between two stations, where the integer multiplier is randomly selected from a predetermined range of integers. The randomly selected integer multiple of the propagation delay provides a second dimension of random selection to minimize subsequent collisions and minimize the occurrence of capture effects in losing stations.
Abstract:
A signal receiver having a source of video signals includes an aperture correction system wherein an electron device coupled to the video signal source provides first and second oppositely-phased output signals which are applied to a circuit means to be differentiated and delayed respectively and applied to a summing terminal with desired preshoot and overshoot characteristics. Moreover, these characteristics are selectable by an adjustable impedance coupled to the circuit means providing the differentiated and delayed signals.
