Abstract: A method and system for a distributed computing system having components like end nodes, switches, routers and links interconnecting packets over the interconnecting links. The switches and routers interconnect the end nodes and route the packets to the appropriate end node. The end nodes reassemble the packets into a message at a destination. A mechanism is provided to allow a single physical component to appear as multiple components each with unique control levels. These components may be host channel adapters (HCAs), target channel adapters (TCAs) or switches. A method and system for end node partitioning for a physical element is provided. A configuration of the physical element is selected. A port associated with the physical element is probed, wherein the port is probed with a subnet management packet by a subnet manager. In response to detecting a switch associated with the port, a local identifier is assigned to the port resulting in a configuration change of the physical element.

Abstract: A process for producing a continuous alumina fiber blanket by heat treating an alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound, by using a specific high-temperature furnace capable of high-temperature heat treatment. According to this process, a continuous sheet (W) of alumina fiber precursor formed from a spinning solution containing an aluminum compound is supplied continuously into a high-temperature furnace and subjected to heat treatment while being conveyed in one direction by plural conveying mechanisms (2, 3) disposed in said high-temperature furnace. In this operation, the speed of said conveying mechanisms is reduced progressively in the direction of conveyance in correspondence to the rate of heat shrinkage of the continuous sheet (W) of alumina fiber precursor, thereby to lessen fiber crush in the alumina fiber precursor and obtain a continuous alumina fiber blanket with uniform thickness and high bulk density as well as high strength. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an approximation of a DCT and a quantization which are to be applied subsequently to digital data for compression of this digital data. In order to improve the transform, it is proposed to simplify a predetermined transform matrix to require less operations when applied to digital data. In addition, elements of the simplified transform matrix constituting irrational numbers are approximated by rational numbers. These measures are compensated by extending a predetermined quantization to compensate for the approximation of elements of the simplified transform matrix by rational numbers. If the simplified transform matrix and the extended quantization are used as basis for implementation, a fast transform with a good resulting quality can be achieved. An approximation of an IDCT employed in decompression of compressed digital data can be simplified correspondingly.

Abstract: A communications signal is processed to determine a proportionality relationship between a gain of a first channel (e.g., a pilot channel) and a gain of a second channel (e.g., a traffic channel) from a model of the first channel and information recovered from the second channel according to the model of the first channel. Symbol estimates may be generated from the information received over the second channel based on the determined proportionality relationship. In some embodiments, a gain multiplier may be estimated from information received over the second channel, a channel estimate for the first channel and a noise estimate for the first channel, for example, by generating despread values from the information received over the second channel, processing the despread values according to the channel estimate to generate symbol estimates, and generating the estimate of the gain multiplier from the noise estimate and the symbol estimates. Methods, apparatus and computer program products are provided.

Abstract: Etching of copper on a card is achieved by applying an electrical voltage between a cathode (102) and the card (42), the card (42) thereby forming an anode. The cathode (102) and the card (42) are immersed in an electrolyte comprising a first component, which may be reduced from a first state in the form of an ion having a metal atom with a first positive oxidation number to a second state in the form of an ion having said metal atom with a second positive oxidation number, which is less than said first positive oxidation number. A first redox potential in the electrolyte for reduction from the first to the second state is larger than a second redox potential in the electrolyte for reduction of divalent copper ions to metallic copper. During the etching metallic copper on the card is oxidized and transferred into positively charged copper ions while the first component is reduced from its first state to its second state. The quality of the etched structures on the card is improved since no metallic copper is precipitated on the cathode.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to using methyl acetate from a vinyl acetate-based or a vinyl- or ethylene-alcohol based polymer or copolymer process directly for use in a methanol carbonylation production process to produce acetic acid, acetic anhydride, or a coproduction of each. Methyl acetate is a by-product of commercial polyvinyl-alcohol or alkene vinyl alcohol copolymer-based processes. Generally, this material is processed to recover methanol and acetic acid. Discussed herein is a cost-saving scheme to by-pass the methyl acetate processing at production or plant facilities and utilize the methyl acetate in an integrated methanol carbonylation unit. The scheme discussed eliminates an expensive hydrolysis step often associated with the polymer process.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for detecting low concentrations of bacteria in liquid solution that may or may not be complex liquid solutions. In one embodiment, immunomagnetic separation (IMS) is used to separate target bacterium that may be in a liquid mixture from other constituents in the mixture. A low concentration of a bacteriophage for the target bacteria is subsequently used to infect target bacterial cells that have been captured using the IMS technique. If at least a certain concentration of target bacterium are present, the bacteriophage will multiply to a point that is detectable. Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization/time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI/TOF-MS) is then used to produce a mass spectrum that is analyzed to determine if one or more proteins associated with the bacteriophage are present, thereby indirectly indicating that target bacterium were present in the liquid mixture.
