摘要:
Techniques for sending data in a packet-switched communications network include determining multiple subsets of adjacent network nodes of the network. The adjacent network nodes communicate without intervening network nodes with a particular network node through an interface on the particular network node. Each subset includes multiple adjacent network nodes. Subset definition data is sent through the interface. The subset definition data indicates which adjacent network nodes belong to which subset. Data for fewer than all adjacent network nodes in all subsets are sent by including, in a multicast data packet sent over the interface with a multicast destination address, subset identifier data that indicates a particular subset. When such data is received by a node, it is discarded unless the subset identifier matches the receiving node's subset identifier. Among other effects, this allows routing messages to be more efficiently sent to better performing neighboring network nodes.

The invention provides extraction columns for the purification of an analyte (e.g., a biological macromolecule, such as a peptide, protein or nucleic acid) from a sample solution, as well as methods for making and using such columns. The columns typically include a bed of extraction media positioned in the column between two frits. In some embodiments, the extraction columns employ modified pipette tips as column bodies. The invention also provides methods for using the extraction columns including methods for varying parameters, such as the volume of sample loaded, the number of capture cycles performed, and the number or wash cycles performed to achieve a particular desired result.

A code arrangement on a computer-readable medium or media for use in a system for processing localization information may include a transformation module receiving at least one non-localized information unit, the transformation module converting the non-localized information unit into an intermediate format using at least one resource file. A related processor and method may include features similar to the elements of the code arrangement.

A field-programmable object array integrated circuit employs a course gain architecture comprising a core array of highly optimized silicon objects that are individually programmed and synchronously connected via high performance parallel communications structures permitting the user to configure the device to implement a variety of very high performance algorithms. The high level functions available in the objects combined with the unique interconnect structures enables performance superior to existing field programmable solutions while maintaining and enhancing the flexibility. A consistent peripheral “donut” structure around the core of each object makes them interchangeable to build up complex circuits without redesign of standard objects.

A system is disclosed for distributing data representing movies and/or mini-series. The system includes a database for storing and cataloging data representing pre-recorded movies. A billing system is connected to the database for selectively providing and controlling access to the data. The system further includes a user interface including means for requesting the data and means for viewing the data. A transmission network is connected between the user interface and the database for selectively transmitting the data therebetween. Upon the billing system providing access to a user, the requesting means generates a data request for retrieving the data from the database for transmission of the data via the transmission network for viewing by the viewing means.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for performing a Boolean logic tree function on all bits of a multiple-bit binary input data word having a plurality of bit positions. Each bit has one of first and second complementary logic states. A modified data word is formed by packing all the bits of the input data word having the first logic state into a first contiguous set of bit positions in the modified data word and all the bits of the input data word having the second logic state into a second contiguous set of the bit positions in the modified data word. The number of bit positions in the first and second sets is greater than or equal to zero. A result of the Boolean logic tree function is generated based on a pattern of the first and second logic states in the modified data word.

An arrangement collects data from disparate system back-end sources, such as a contracts system, a billing system, a service provisioning system, and analyzes the data to determine whether any inconsistencies exist. If so, the system issues a modification request to compensate for the inconsistency.

The invention provides extraction columns for the purification of an analyte (e.g., a biological macromolecule, such as a polypeptide or protein) from a sample solution, as well as methods for making and using such columns. The columns typically include a bed of extraction medium in a column. In some embodiments, the extraction columns employ modified pipette tips as column bodies. In some embodiments, the invention provides resins and methods that facilitate elution of analyte in a small volume of liquid. In some embodiments, the analyte is an active protein.
