摘要:
A hardware-based rate control engine is designed to allow credits to be accumulated over multiple time-slices up to a maximum credit limit. The rate control engine is also allowed to dispatch packets up to a maximum drain rate during each time-slice as long as sufficient credits are available. Allowing credits to accumulate over multiple time slices allows unused bandwidth to be saved during times of little or no traffic and used when the subsequent traffic bursts arrive. Additionally, limiting the maximum drain rate puts a cap on how fast the saved bandwidth can be consumed by subsequent traffic bursts. The rate control settings can be adapted in response to a characteristic, or characteristics, of the traffic flow. For example, one group of settings of a traffic flow can be used for bursty traffic, while a different group of settings can be used for smooth traffic.

The present invention relates to process for reducing the endotoxin content of a sample of fermentation broth containing polysialic acid and endotoxin comprising the sequential steps: (i) adding to the sample a base having a pKa of at least 12 to form a basic solution having a pH of at least 12, incubating the solution for a pre-determined time at a pre-determined temperature; and (ii) recovery of PSA, suitably by (iii) passing the sample through an anion-exchange column whereby polysialic acid is absorbed on the ion exchange resin; (iv) washing the column with one washing buffer, whereby polysialic acid remains absorbed on the ion exchange resin; and (v) eluting the polysialic acid from the column using an elution buffer to provide a product solution of polysialic acid having reduced endotoxin content.

A data storage management system includes a virtual provider for interacting with a coordinator to receive shadow copy requests from a requestor and for interfacing with a plurality of providers that support various logical units on which data volumes can be stored. The virtual provider appears to the coordinator as a provider and can generate a shadow copy of a first one of the data volumes that spans multiple ones of the logical units, which are supported by different ones of the plurality of providers.

The present invention provides a packet processing device and method. A parsing processor provides instruction-driven content inspection of network packets at 10-Gbps and above with a parsing engine that executes parsing instructions. A flow state unit maintains statefulness of packet flows to allow content inspection across several related network packets. A state-graph unit traces state-graph nodes to keyword indications and/or parsing instructions. The parsing instructions can be derived from a high-level application to emulate user-friendly parsing logic. The parsing processor sends parsed packets to a network processor unit for further processing.
摘要:
Novel piperzine derivatives substituted on one nitrogen by an aromatic system and on the other nitrogen by (2,5-dioxopyrrolidin)-1-yl) alkanes or (2,6-dioxopiperidin-1-yl) alkanes have been found to exhibit selective &agr;1A adrenergic activity. The compounds are useful for treatment of disease conditions, such as peripheral vascular disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension and especially benign prostatic hypertrophy.

A clock throttling mechanism turns off certain processor components to minimize power consumption. The processor detects the issuance of certain bus cycles or the execution of certain instructions which typically cause the processor to be idle for a period of time. Control circuitry detects the existence of the instruction and/or bus cycle and shuts down the clock driving certain processor components during that idle period. The control circuitry then detects the occurrence or upcoming occurrence of an event to which the processor responds and becomes active. At detection of this event, the clock signal input to these components is then restarted such that the processor can continue normal execution.

An innovative protocol and system for implementing the same enables quick release of the bus by the master device, such as a CPU, to permit slave devices access to the bus. In one embodiment, the arbiter can select between the original hold protocol and quick hold protocol according to predetermined criteria which indicates that a low latency response is requested. Upon assertion of a QHOLD signal, the CPU issues a burst last signal to prematurely terminate outstanding burst transactions on the bus in a manner transparent to the slave devices. Once the outstanding bus cycles are complete, the CPU performs an internal backoff to immediately release the bus for access by the slave device requesting access. Any pending burst cycles which were terminated prematurely by the QHOLD signal, are subsequently restarted for the data not transacted by the CPU after the slave device completes access to the bus. The internal backoff mechanism is similarly transparent to the slave devices and does not cause a backoff signal to be issued to the peripherals or devices coupled to the bus. Thus, the addition of a quick hold protocol is added without significant modification of the slave devices' bus interface.

A water soluble polymer, in particular polysialic acid (PSA) or a modified PSA (mPSA), is conjugated to an oxidized carbohydrate moiety of a glycoprotein other than a blood coagulation protein or to a ganglioside or drug delivery system by contacting the oxidized carbohydrate moiety with the water soluble polymer, wherein said water soluble polymer contains an aminooxy group and an oxime linkage is formed between the oxidized carbohydrate moiety and the aminooxy group on the water soluble polymer or wherein said water soluble polymer contains a hydrazide group and a hydrazone linkage is formed between the oxidized carbohydrate moiety and the hydrazide group on the water soluble polymer. Conjugates of aminooxy- or hydrazide-water soluble polymer, such as PSA and mPSA, are thus obtained in which the PSA or mPSA is attached via a carbohydrate moiety.

An Constant Access Gateway provides secure access for remote mobile computing users to centrally stored data without requiring a VPN connection or a direct connection to the LAN in which the data resides. A Cache Server works alone or in conjunction with the Constant Access Gateway to provide distributed access to the centrally stored data. The Cache Server performs local storage of de-duplicated versions of the centrally stored data, and may interact with the Constant Access Gateway to maintain cache coherency with the central data store.
