Abstract: A network system comprises first to third routers coupled in series. The first router transmits a first packet indicating a first priority or a second packet indicating a second priority higher than the first priority. The second router receives the first packet, determines whether or not the first priority of the first packet is to be changed or not on the basis of both a first bandwidth which is assigned for receiving, from the first router, a second packet which is indicating the second priority and a second bandwidth which is assigned for communicating a packet including the first packet and the second packet, changes the priority of the first packet if it is decided that its priority is to be changed, and transmits to the third router the packet of which the priority has been changed to the second priority from the first priority.

Abstract: The invention relates to a micro-reactor (100) for observing small particles, cells, bacteria, viruses or protein molecules in a fluid. The micro-reactor shows a first channel (106) formed between two layers (102, 104) for containing the fluid, with an inlet (112) and an outlet (114), the two layers separated by a first distance. A likewise second channel (108) with an inlet (118) and an outlet (116) is placed adjacent to the first channel. A gap connects the first channel and the second channel, at the gap at least one layer showing a window (120) transparent to the method of inspection and at the window the two layers being separated by a very small distance of, for example, 1 µm or less. 
     The micro-reactor may be used with an optical microscope (in which all particles are in focus), inspection with a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope (in which the range of the electrons is limited), inspection with soft X-rays in the 250-500 eV range (also showing a limited range), etc. 
     A method of using the micro-reactor includes applying a gradient over the gap, thereby causing the particles to cross the gap. The gradient may be static or dynamic, and may be a gradient in concentration, of a chemical or biological material, in pressure, in temperature, in electric potential, or in magnetic field. By detecting a property of the particles upstream in the first channel, e.g. using fluorescent labels on the particles, and then applying a pressure burst over the channels when the property meets certain preset criteria, only selected particles can be placed in the gap.
