Abstract: Units of traffic are routed between nodes in a network on corresponding sets of trunks, such that the traffic is balanced between disjoint paths. A  restoration process for the traffic is implemented using service layer or transport layer switching. In a first embodiment, first and second nodes are connected by first and second sets of trunks, with each of the trunks in a given set of trunks supporting a designated portion of a given one of the units of traffic. The units of traffic are then routed such that a first half of a given one of the units of traffic is routed on a first one of the trunks in a given one of the sets of trunks, and a second half of the given unit is routed on a second one of the trunks in the given set of trunks. In other embodiments, the first and second nodes are connected by first and second sets of trunks so as to form a four-trunk ring, with each of the first and second sets of trunks including a primary trunk and a backup trunk. A given one of the units of traffic is then routed on either an upper or lower portion of the ring. The four trunk ring may be in the form of an IP/optical hybrid ring, in which case the restoration process is implemented using service layer switching, or a SONET/optical ring, in which case the restoration process is implemented using transport layer switching.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching device (300) having a plurality of line interface cards (LICs) (310), a plurality of egress LICs (320), a cross-bar (330) and a management card (340). The switching device (300) routes fixed sized cells of data across the cross-bar (330). The cells comprise fragments of variable length data packets. Each ingress LIC (312, 314, 316) is associated with a respective schedule or timetable (362, 364, 366) governing the transmission of cells by the ingress LIC. Similarly, each egress LIC (322, 324, 326) is also associated with a respective schedule or timetable (382, 384, 386) governing the reception of cells by said egress LIC. The schedules are in the form of a table whose entries are the identities of transmission queues corresponding to a respective egress LIC identification number (for ingress LICs) and ingress LICs from which to receive (egress LICs). Each ingress and egress LIC maintains a pointer into its associated schedule. At each cell transmit time, each ingress LIC transmits a cell from the queue identified by the pointer and each egress LIC will receive the cell from the ingress LIC identified in the entry referenced by the pointer. The pointers then move to the next location. Each schedule is circular in the sense that when moving the pointer from the last entry, its next position is the first entry.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode pour diagnostiquer l'exposition à un agent toxique. La méthode consiste à détecter le niveau d'expression d'une protéine/gène présente dans un prélèvement de tissu mammalien ou de liquides organiques mammaliens non exposé à un agent toxique. Elle consiste ensuite à détecter le niveau d'expression d'une protéine/gène présente dans un prélèvement de tissu mammalien ou de liquides organiques mammaliens exposé à un agent toxique. Une différence du niveau d'expression de la protéine/gène détecté entre le prélèvement établie pour déterminer cette différence par rapport à une expression de la protéine/gène prévue pour des agents toxiques prédéterminés. Enfin, une évaluation est effectuée pour savoir si cette différence traduit l'exposition à un agent toxique particulier. L'invention concerne en outre une méthode de traitement qui consiste à administrer un agent thérapeutique afin d'inhiber les voies mécanistes nécessaires pour maintenir l'évolution d'un état de choc mortel.
