Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that uses a packet distribution table to distribute packets to server nodes in a cluster of nodes that operate in concert to provide at least one service. The system operates by receiving a packet at an interface node in the cluster of nodes. This packet includes a source address specifying a location of a client that the packet originated from, and a destination address specifying a service provided by the cluster of nodes (and possibly a protocol). The system uses the destination address to lookup a packet distribution table. The system then performs a function that maps the source address to an entry in the packet distribution table, and retrieves an identifier specifying a server node from the entry in the packet distribution table. Next, the system forwards the packet to the server node specified by the identifier so that the server node can perform a service for the client. In this way, packets directed to a service specified by a single destination address are distributed across multiple server nodes in a manner specified by the packet distribution table. In one embodiment of the present invention, the system allows the server node to send return communications directly back to the client without forwarding the communications through the interface node. In one embodiment of the present invention, the function includes a hash function that maps different source addresses to different entries in the packet distribution table in a substantially random manner. Note that this hash function always maps a given source address to the same entry in the packet distribution table. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed are catalyst preparation olefin polymerization processes with the recycling of a co-catalyst. According to the olefin polymerization process activated single-site catalysts are prepared by contacting supported single-site pre-catalyst with an organic solvent containing co-catalyst. The activated single-site catalysts are separated from co-catalysts dissolved in an organic solvent and the olefin polymerization is conducted using the separated single-site catalysts with one or more olefinic monomers. The separated co-catalysts is reused by recycling the organic solvent containing the separated co-catalysts and contacting them with the supported single-site pre-catalysts. The olefin polymerization process of the present invention enables recycling expensive co-catalyst for subsequent olefin polymerization and accordingly the total amount of co-catalyst required can be significantly reduced.

Abstract: We have discovered that the administration of a G1 and/or S phase drug such as beta-lapachone in combination with a G2/M drug such as a taxane derivative such as paclitaxel resulted in a unexpected greater than additive (i.e., synergistic) reduction in the number of tumors (and tumor volume) as compared with the administration of these agents alone. In addition, no signs of toxicity or weight loss were observed. The present invention relates to a method for treating a mammalian tumor using combinations such as a taxane derivative, preferably paclitaxel, and a beta-lapachone, or a derivative or analog thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a system for transmitting a chain of messages for updating a database between a management centre and a plurality of geographically distributed subscriber databases. Each message comprises a chain identifier (FM) and a chain index (FI) for identifying the message in the chain. If a message is not received following a disturbance in the connection, the processing of the next messages can block the databases. In order to remedy that inconvenience, the solution consists in assigning to each message a block status (CD) which determines whether said message is to be processed without referring to the members of the chain and what are the conditions concerning the prior processing of members of the chain.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement thermique d'un boîtier anodique (60) d'une batterie zinc-air (10) dépolarisée, après que le boîtier a été formé, mais avant que la matière anodique (50) comprenant du zinc ne soit insérée dans le boîtier. Le boîtier anodique comprend une couche de cuivre sur sa surface intérieure. Le procédé consiste à traiter thermiquement le boîtier anodique en faisant passer un gaz à une température comprise entre 200 °C et 700 °C environ, de préférence entre 300 °C et 600 °C environ, de façon à ce qu'il entre en contact avec le boîtier, afin de former un boîtier anodique traité thermiquement, puis à refroidir le boîtier à la température ambiante. Le boîtier anodique traité thermiquement est mis à l'abri de l'air atmosphérique jusqu'à ce que la matière active anodique soit insérée dans le boîtier lors de l'assemblage de la batterie. Le procédé de traitement thermique permet de réduire sensiblement les dégagements gazeux lors de la décharge de la batterie et de son stockage et permet d'éviter de devoir ajouter du mercure à la matière anodique.
