Abstract: Methods and systems for managing network traffic by multiple constraints are
provided. A received network packet is assigned (132) to multiple queues where each
queue is associated (134) with a different constraint. A network packet traverses
(140,160) the queues once it satisfies (150,170) the constraint associated with that
queue. Once the network packet has traversed all its assigned queues the network
packet is forwarded (180) to its destination. Also, network activity, associated with
higher priority applications which are not managed, is detected (220). When such
activity is detected, additional constraints are added (230) to the network packet as it
traverses its assigned queues.

Abstract: Provided is a tunable external cavity laser diode using a variable optical deflector (130) wherein the variable optical deflector (130), in which a refractive index varies according to an electrical signal, is arranged in a triangular shape between a concave diffraction grating (120) and a reflective mirror (101). Since a resonant frequency is changed using the electrical signal rather than the mechanical movement, the stable operation and continuous high-speed tenability may be enabled. In addition, when the tunable external cavity laser diode according to the present invention is implemented in an InP/InGaAsP/InP slab waveguide (100), a variable time determined by the carrier lifetime may be reduced to several nanoseconds or less, the miniaturization is enabled, and the manufacturing costs are significantly reduced due to the process simplification. Moreover, when the concave diffraction grating is designed based on a silica (or polymer) based slab waveguide, the fabrication may be performed even by a lithography process having low resolution, thereby enhancing reproducibility and uniformity of the diffraction grating, and accordingly reducing the manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A test execution system (10) has a central repository (12)
that contains a management unit (28), available test suites (16)
and a single test execution harness (18). Using the management
unit, a system administrator (26) establishes active versions of
the various test suites, and their individual configurations.
End users (30) install clients of the central repository, using
a system-provided installer program (20). In the client, an execution
script is created, which downloads the harness and a local
configuration file. Then, when the harness is executed at
the client, it loads with all designated test suites already installed,
configured and ready for execution. The client always
has the most current versions of all test suites. All necessary
information is obtained from a single central location.

Abstract: A pump includes a case, a rotor, and a partition member. The case has a hollow inside
defined by an inner wall surface thereof and includes a suction inlet through which fluid is
sucked in the hollow and an exhaust outlet through which the fluid is ejected from the hollow.
The rotor is rotatable in the hollow. The partition member is supported with respect to the
rotor in the direction across the rotor such that two ends make constant contact with the inner
wall surface defining the hollow, and is rotatable with the rotor. When the rotor is rotated,
the partition member slides in the direction across the rotor and expands and shrinks in the
same direction, thereby the two ends of the partition member make constant contact with the
inner wall surface of the case. Accordingly, the fluid is sucked through the suction inlet in
the hollow and the sucked fluid is ejected through the exhaust outlet from the hollow.

Abstract: In a process for storing information in a magnetic multi-layer storage device (1), the device comprises at least one ferromagnetic transfer layer (TL) and at least one anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL). Information that has been written into ferromagnetic transfer layer (TL) is transferred into anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL) by heating of the anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL) to a temperature higher than its Néel-temperature but lower than the Curie-temperature of the ferromagnetic transfer layer (TL). Thus, information is transferred from the ferromagnetic transfer layer (TL) into the anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL). Subsequently, the temperature of the anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL) is lowered below its Néel-temperature in order to permanently store the information in the anti-ferromagnetic storage layer (SL). The information from the ferromagnetic transfer layer (TL) is then deleted.

Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to a patient programmer for an implantable medical device. The patient programmer may include one or more of a variety of features that may enhance performance, support mobility and compactness, or promote patient convenience. For example, the patient programmer may include an internal antenna for RF telemetry with the implantable medical device. The internal antenna may have a loop-like structure that defines a central aperture. A battery bay may extend at least partially into the antenna aperture from the patient programmer housing. One or more batteries may be mounted in the battery bay within the antenna aperture. In some cases, the batteries may contribute favorably to the RF load presented to the internal antenna. In particular, the batteries may present an additional load to the internal antenna, enhancing immunity to electrical and electromagnetic interference during telemetry sessions with the implantable medical device.
