A Cooperative Grid Based Picture Archiving and Communication System (Grid PACS for short) is a multimedia (imaging) medical information archiving, communication and application system used in hospitals. Based on the existing PACS servers, workstations, or other networked multimedia image management systems, it adds and integrates grid-based network functionality into the existing image systems to form new grid-based image communication and management system.It uses service-oriented and event-driven concepts and methods to design and implement a new grid-based image communication and management system to solve the problems encountered in distributing archived image information, coordinating work and managing in a virtually centralized way (Virtual Super-PACS) of different PACS or archiving systems under varied operating environments.

A new self-routing multicast network that can realize arbitrary multicast (or one-to-many) communication without any blocking. Based on the binary radix sorting, all functional components of the network are recursively constructed reverse banyan networks using a self-routing procedure that provides for pipeline distribution of switch settings. The design allows a potential to greatly reduce the network cost by reusing part of the network. The new multicast network has O(n log2 n) cost (logic gates), O(log2 n) gate delay, and O(log2 n) set-up time, where the unit of time is a gate delay. Further, with feedback part of the network can be reused and the network cost is reduced to O(n log n).

A conventional technology does not show that the number of middle stage switches is minimized on a non-blocking condition of a multisource and possible multicast Clos type network, and it becomes a high cost system. Further, no addition or deletion of a connection can be done without a data loss. It is an object to provide, as a means for solving the problems, a multisource and multicast possible Clos type network based on such a technology that the number of middle stage switches is minimized on a non-blocking condition and that addition/deletion of a connection to a existing multicast tree can be carried out without a data loss, so that the network can be operated at low cost without a data loss.

Method and apparatus for performing group switching in DWDM optical networks are described. One embodiment is an N×N three-stage group connector with N inputs and N outputs, wherein the N outputs are divided into r output groups, each group including n outputs such that r=N/n. The group connector comprises a first stage comprising r n×m crossbar switch modules, wherein m≧n−1; a second stage comprising m r×r crossbar switch modules; and a third stage comprising r M×N concentrator switch modules.

Disclosed is a method for all-to-all personalized exchange for a class of multistage interconnecting networks (MINs). The method is based on a Latin square matrix corresponding to a set of admissible permutations of a multistage interconnecting network. Disclosed are first and second methods for constructing a Latin square matrix used in the personalized exchange technique. Also disclosed is a generic method for decomposing all-to-all personalized exchange patterns into admissible permutations to form the Latin square matrix for self-routing networks which are a subclass of the MINs.

The input stage has N.sub.1 or n.sub.1 r.sub.1 input ports and r.sub.1 switches, where n.sub.1 .gtoreq.2 and r.sub.1 .gtoreq.1 and are integers. The network also includes an output stage. The output stage has N.sub.2 or n.sub.2 r.sub.2 output ports and r.sub.2 switches, where n.sub.2 .gtoreq.2 and r.sub.1 .gtoreq.1 and are integers. There is also a middle stage. The middle stage has m switches, where ##EQU1## The m switches are in communication with the r.sub.1 switches and r.sub.2 switches. The middle stage of m switches has L inputs, where L.gtoreq.r.sub.1 and is an integer, and J outputs, where J.gtoreq.r.sub.2 and is an integer, corresponding to the n.sub.1 input ports and n.sub.2 output ports, x or fewer of the m switches, where 1.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.m, always available to form a connection between an idle input port and a plurality of idle output ports, but no output port is connected to more than 1 input port. In a preferred embodiment, the controller includes a mechanism for determining which middle stage switches are idle at a given time in the network. The controller also includes a mechanism for choosing middle stage switches from only the idle middle stage switches to form a desired broadcast connection between an idle input port and a plurality of idle output ports. Preferably, the mechanism for choosing chooses the minimum number of idle middle stage switches to form the desired broadcast connection.

Described herein is an apparatus (30) for regulating voltages across a plurality of loads (21, 23). The apparatus comprises a first linear regulator (35) for regulating a first voltage across a first load (23) and a second linear regulator (37) for regulating a second voltage across a second load (21). The apparatus also has a current recycling node (33) provided between an output of the second linear regulator (37) and an input of the first linear regulator (35) such that, in use, a total current drawn by the apparatus is less than a sum of a current flowing in the first load and a current flowing in the second load.
