A method may include constructing an auxiliary graph for a network comprising a plurality of network elements, the network elements having an Internet Protocol layer, a lower layer, and a wavelength layer, the auxiliary graph including a plurality of directed edges, the plurality of directed edges indicative of connectivity of components of the plurality of network elements. The method may further include: (i) deleting directed edges from the auxiliary graph whose available bandwidth is lower than the required bandwidth of a selected demand; (ii) finding a path for the demand on the auxiliary graph via remaining directed edges; (iii) deleting at least one directed edge of the auxiliary graph on the wavelength layer along the path; (iv) adding lower layer lightpath edges to the auxiliary graph for a lower layer lightpath for the path; and (v) converting lower layer lightpaths to Internet Protocol lightpaths if a conversion condition is satisfied.

Encoded HDR textures are described. In one aspect, a HDR image comprised is preprocessed such that HDR information is represented in a single color channel. The preprocessed image is quantized in view of two luminance ranges to retain HDR in the single color channel. Each block of quantized channel information is then encoded across two textures (encoded HDR textures). Specifically, when encoding a block of the quantized information, pixels in a first range of the two luminance ranges are put into a color channel associated with a first texture. Additionally, pixels in a second range of the two luminance ranges are stored into a color channel associated with a second texture.

A system and method for providing an auto-reply message in response to an incoming message sent from a message sending device and delivered by a unified messaging service as an email encoded with information about the sending device's type and address. The incoming messages may be coming from email, fax, phone, text message, instant message, MMS, TV, or other communication devices. The auto-reply function of this invention is capable of replying to the messages regardless of what type of message sending device is used. The system is preferably implemented by integrating the new technologies of unified messaging service and unified message delivery service with the email tool, and by employing the new design methodology of cloud computing.

6-methoxy gossypol and 6,6′-dimethoxy gossypol were isolated from cottonseeds. Bioactivities of these two gossypol derivatives and gossypol were investigated regarding their antioxidant activities, DNA damage prevention ability, anti-cancer, and anti-trypanosomal activities. Both methoxy compounds had nearly equivalent bioactivities, but gossypol showed greater bioactivities than either methoxy derivative on free radical scavenging activity, reducing power, and DNA damage prevention ability. Gossypol and its methoxy derivatives inhibited growth of three cancer cell lines, i.e., SiHa (cervical cancer), MCF-7 (breast cancer) and Caco-2 (colon cancer) cells, in a dose dependent manner. These three compounds also significantly inhibited growth of trypanosome T. brucei, the cause of African Sleeping Sickness, which affects thousands in western and central Africa.

A system and method for reducing a workload of a user monitoring respective physiological conditions of a plurality of patients at a centralized physiological monitoring station. The system includes a plurality of patient measurement systems generating respective alarms indicative of a patient's physiological condition and a centralized physiological monitoring station receiving the alarms from the patient measurement systems. A processor in communication with the centralized physiological monitoring station is configured to monitor patterns in the alarms for each of the patients, to establish individualized historical alarm information for each of the patients responsive to monitored patterns in the alarms, to determine an urgency of the respective alarms according to the individualized historical alarm information, and to provide notifications to a user monitoring the respective physiological conditions at the centralized physiological monitoring station. The system also includes a display in communication with the processor for displaying the notifications to the user.

The invention of LENGTH SCALE MARKED FISHING ROD will be capable of being used as a standard fishing pole while also being used for measuring the length of fish subsequent to the catching. The invention would be designed very similarly to a standard fishing rod with the addition of corresponding units of length measurement markings on the rod. LENGTH SCALE MARKED FISHING ROD would be created in many different versions: engravings, drawings, or printed marks of length measurement on various types of fishing rods, which exist for different types of fishing. The measurement marks of LENGTH SCALE MARKED FISHING ROD would simply be used as other measurement devices such as rulers and tape measures are used to measure objects. The units of measurement used for LENGTH SCALE MARKED FISHING ROD could include inches and feet as well as metric length units of measurement.

A computer implemented method for generating a representation of structure for use in rendering a synthesized image is provided. The representation is a view-dependent displacement mapping that represents displacements along a viewing direction. This view dependency allows the representation to be used to determine self shadows as well as shading, occlusion and silhouettes when used during rendering for synthesis.

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of spectrum defragmentation in an optical network may include assigning an optical signal within an optical network to a first frequency slot that spans a first portion of an optical spectrum of the optical network. The method may also include constructing a frequency slot dependency map based on the assignation of the optical signal to the frequency slot. The method may also include reassigning, as a result of an optical signal departure event, the optical signal to a second frequency slot based on the frequency slot dependency map. The second frequency slot may span a second portion of the optical spectrum of the optical network.
