摘要:
A system and method for resolving a DNS request using metadata. An intelligent name server receives a request to resolve a domain name via a network. The intelligent name server acquires at least one metadata element about the source of the request. The domain name request is transformed into a CNAME request that includes the at least one metadata element and the domain name to be resolved. The CNAME request is sent to a metadata aware DNS server for resolution. The metadata aware DNS server maps the domain name to one or more network addresses stored in a look-up table. The included metadata is used to select a “best” host address to include in a response.

A mobile communication device initiates display of a point of interest as being located at particular coordinates on a map. In response to receiving an input command from a user of the mobile communication device indicating that the particular location of the point of interest as specified by the map is incorrect, the mobile communication device forwards a communication (specifying a location of the mobile communication device and an identity of the point of interest) over a network to a map management resource. Based on feedback from the mobile communication device, the map management resource updates map data an actual location of the point of interest as opposed to an incorrect location as specified by the particular coordinates on the map. Subsequent distribution of the updated map information from the map management resource specifies the proper coordinates of the point of interest in the geographical region.

A system and method for routing multicast packets. A multicast packet is received at an inbound interface on a switch/router. S,G data are obtained from the packet and used to search an OIL table. If the S,G data are found in the OIL table, the packet is forwarded on an outbound interface associated with the S,G data. If the S,G data are not found in the OIL table, the multicast routing table is consulted to obtain a longest match for the packet, and the packet is forwarded on the interface(s) which correspond to the longest match route. The multicast routing table may include a single entry, such that all packets that do not match an entry in the OIL are forwarded on the same outbound interface. The multicast routing table may include multiple entries with different covered ranges of (S,G).

Systems and methods for biological sample processing are described. A production line extracts genomic DNA from a biological sample, amplifies target components of the sample and produces sequence data for markers from the amplified components. The markers are associated with tests identified in a requisition received with the sample and some markers may be associated with unrequisitioned tests. A sample information management system (SIMS) controls and monitors the production line and subsequent analysis of the results using information in a quality control (QC) database to validate the results. A repository comprising the QC database and a research database receives and aggregates the results without identifying the source of the sample. A portal may be provided to provide access to the research database to a plurality of external contributors. Contributors can selectively provide additional research data and data can be processed using data mining and curation tools.

A solid phase extraction apparatus includes a sample adsorption assembly and a needle. The adsorption assembly includes a housing, a distal housing opening, and an adsorption bar disposed in the housing. The adsorption bar includes an outer surface coated with an adsorption material. The adsorption bar is located between the distal housing opening and a proximal housing opening. The outer surface is spaced from an inner housing surface, wherein the adsorption assembly includes an adsorption region between the inner housing surface and the outer surface. The adsorption assembly establishes a fluid flow path from the distal housing opening, through the adsorption region along a longitudinal direction, and to the proximal housing opening. The needle communicates with the distal housing opening

A modular fuel cell cassette for use in assembling a fuel cell stack comprising a metal separator plate and a metal cell-mounting plate joined at their edges to form a hollow cassette. A fuel cell subassembly is attached to the mounting plate and extends through an opening in the mounting plate. The plates include openings to form chimney manifolds for supply and exhaust of fuel gas to the anode and air to the cathode. A conductive interconnect element extends from the fuel cell subassembly to make contact with the next cassette in a stack. The anode openings in the mounting plate and separator plate are separated by spacer rings such that the cassette is incompressible. A fuel cell stack comprises a plurality of cassettes, the mounting plate of one cassette being attached to, and insulated from, the separator plate of the next-adjacent cassette by a dielectric seal surrounding the interconnect.
摘要:
A method for manufacturing a light-emitting panel sandwiches a plurality of micro-components between two flexible substrates in a web configuration. Each micro-component contains a gas or gas-mixture capable of ionization when a sufficiently large voltage is supplied across the micro-component via at least two electrodes. The micro-components are disposed in sockets formed at pre-determined locations in a first dielectric substrate so that they are adjacent to electrodes imprinted in the first substrate. Dielectric layers and the conductors for acting as electrodes are formed using liquid processes or combined liquid and sheet processes, where liquid materials are applied to the surface of the underlying layer, then cured to complete the formation of layers. The assembled layers are coated with a protective coating and may include an RF shield. In one embodiment, patterning of the conductors is achieved by applying conductive ink using an ink jet process. In another embodiment, the conductors may be patterned photolithographically using a leaky optical waveguide as a contact mask.

A method of coating of steel products such as plate and sheet using an aluminum-zinc coating alloy includes modifying the coating bath with a particulate compound constituent in effective amounts to control the spangle facet size of the coated product, improve tension bend rust stain performance, and improve coated product paintability. Constituents include borides such as titanium boride and aluminum borides, carbides such as titanium carbide, and aluminides such as titanium aluminide. The method produces a coated steel product that does not require temper rolling for painting.
