Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for forming an Advanced Switching (AS) packet by applying AS path binding information to a packet received over a Peripheral Component Interconnect-Express (PCIe) fabric according to a downstream port identifier associated with the packet, and sending the AS packet to an AS fabric. Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for processing an AS packet received over an AS fabric by comparing an AS payload of the AS packet with one or more memory spaces associated with port identifiers, determining whether the AS payload comprises a base packet to be transmitted to the PCIe fabric based on the comparison, and if so, removing an AS header from the AS packet to reveal the base packet.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for receiving a node configuration packet that includes a request for access to a memory space of an Advanced Switching device, performing a set of checks on a header of the received node configuration packet to determine whether the packet is valid, and processing the access request when the packet is determined to be valid.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for receiving packets including node configuration packets over a plurality of virtual channels of a switch fabric, each node configuration packet including a request for access to a memory space of an Advanced Switching (AS) device, and arbitrating access of the received node configuration packets to the memory space between the plurality of virtual channels.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, implementing techniques for retrieving a node configuration packet from a first queue. If the node configuration packet includes a read request, the techniques include determining if the node configuration packet is valid, and if so, processing the node configuration packet to retrieve data from a data structure associated with the device, generating a data packet including the retrieved data, and providing the generated data packet to a second queue. If the node configuration packet includes a write request, determining if the node configuration packet is valid, and if so, processing the node configuration packet to write data to a data structure associated with the device.
Abstract:
A method for forming a membrane includes a step of dissolving a lithium salt in a solution including an ionomer that includes protogenic groups to form a modified solution. A membrane is formed from the solution containing the lithium salt and the ionomer that includes protogenic groups. The membrane is dried and then contacted with water to form a plurality of pores therein.
Abstract:
This invention provides a transgenic mouse for studying the role of senescent cells on an age-related disorder or an age-sensitive trait. The transgene contains a p16 promoter sequence that controls expression of an enzyme so as to cause the enzyme to be expressed in senescent cells in the mouse. The enzyme converts a prodrug to a cytotoxic agent, so that treating the mouse with the prodrug results in the prodrug selectively killing the senescent cells. As a result, progression of an age-related disorder or an age-sensitive trait is delayed. Included is the 3MR mouse model, which also expresses bioluminescent and fluorescent markers under control of the p16 promoter so that senescent cells in the mice can be visualized.

Abstract:
A method for making hollow metal tubes includes a step combining a polyphenylene sulfide-containing resin with a water soluble carrier resin to form a resinous mixture. The resinous mixture is then extruded to form an extruded resinous mixture. The extruded resinous mixture includes polyphenylene sulfide-containing fibers within the carrier resin. The extruded resinous mixture is contacted (i.e., washed) with water to separate the polyphenylene sulfide-containing fibers from the carrier resin. The polyphenylene sulfide-containing fibers are then formed into a membrane.
