Abstract: A layout capable of placing a circuit constituted by a plurality of transistors in a small-with region is automatically formed. A search section inputs data on a circuit and makes a search for a set of routes formed so that passage through any one of the transistors occurs only one time and so that the combination of routes in one set can cover the entire circuit network. An extraction section extracts a set of routes having the smallest number of routes in sets of route found by searching. A width determination section determines the layout width from the widths of source and drain electrodes of each transistor, the width of the region between the source and drain electrodes, the width of the region between some of the adjacent pairs of the transistors not combined into a common electrode, the number of transistors, and the smallest number of routes. A layout determination section forms information on a layout in which all the source, drain and gate electrodes of the transistor included in the circuit are placed in a small-width region having the determined width.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing fast reroute of a packet is presented. A unicast packet is received by an FDU in a data plane of a network element and a destination is determined for the packet. A lookup is performed in a port state table maintained by the FDU to determine an available local port that is in an UP state for the destination, and if no local port is UP, then a lookup is performed in the port state table to determine an available remote port that is in an UP state for the destination. If a port in the UP state cannot be determined for the unicast packet, then the packet is dropped.

P i   is determined by the expression:  FOR  i  = 1 to  n : 
FOR  j  = 1 to (4 k +1): 
IF  P i  ¤ P L   AND  P   i +1  ...  P i+(1+k)  ¤ P H   then  P i+j   =  ± j .P i+j

Abstract: The invention is in the field of molecular immunology, more in particular in the field of the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases and autoinflammatory diseases, more in particular systemic sclerosis or scleroderma. The invention is based on the observation that such patients have an elevated plasma level of CXCL4. This was found to contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune and/or autoinflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, etc When CXCL4 was neutralized in in vitro experiments, the fibrotic effects could be neutralized. This led us to conclude that autoimmune and/or autoinflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, etc may be cured by reducing the plasma level of CXCL4. The invention therefore relates to a method for treatment or prevention of AID such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, etc wherein the plasma level of CXCL4 is reduced.

The user configuration information can define multiple zones with each zone associated with a routing number. During operation, the mobile phone can periodically update its location using a positioning system thereon. When a call is made to the mobile phone, the call can be routed to another number by the phone system when the mobile phone's location is within a defined zone. The zones can be specific to broad and can overlap each other. In one illustration, a first zone can be an office while a second zone can be a building.

Abstract: The invention relates to a high-temperature fuel cell system having a start burner. Such fuel cell systems are in particular operated at temperatures between 650 °C and 1000°C due to the ion-conductive properties of the electrolytes used. It is necessary for this reason to carry out a heating before the actual operation of the systems, which takes place by an external supply of energy. The exhaust gas of a start burner of the high-temperature fuel cell system is supplied to a heat exchanger or to two heat exchangers in a series connection for the preheating of an oxidizing agent which can be supplied to at least one fuel cell at the cathode side. In this respect, the oxidizing agent and the exhaust gas of the start burner are conducted over the total surfaces of the one heat exchanger or of the two heat exchangers available for the heat exchange and hot, returned exhaust gas from the total system is conducted over one heat exchanger of the two heat exchangers arranged in series or in a second zone B of a single heat exchanger having two zones A and B over a part region of the surface available for the heat exchange.
