IPC: H04L12/18
Filed: 2002-10-24
Abstract: One embodiment of the disclosures made herein is a
method for facilitating a multicast group switch via a
single Internet Group Management Protocol message. In
accordance with such method, an operation is performed for
receiving multicast information associated with a first
multicast group and an operation is performed for receiving
a request for receiving multicast information associated
with a second multicast group. In response to receiving the
request, an operation is performed for preparing an
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Group Switch
message. The IGMP Group Switch message designates an
identity of the first multicast group and an identity of
the second multicast group. After preparing the IGMP Group
Switch message, an operation is performed for transmitting
the IGMP Group Switch message for reception by a multicast-capable
system.

Abstract: A method of forming cosmetic articles, particularly cosmetic articles which
include a surfactant such as a lathering or foaming surfactant or another cosmetic
composition. In a preferred form of the method, a cosmetic composition and an adhesive
are both deposited upon a substrate (10). The adhesive and/or the cosmetic composition can be
provided in the form of a film or as a powder. Another substrate layer (16) is then overlaid upon
the first layer, and the substrates are pressed to bond the substrate layers together. The
arrangement provides a uniform product in which the surfactant composition (or other
cosmetic composition) is well entrapped between the substrate layers.

Abstract: The methods and reagents described in this invention are used to analyze circulating tumor cells, clusters, fragments, and debris. Analysis is performed with a number of platforms, including flow cytometry and the CellSpotter3 fluorescent microscopy imaging system. Analyzing damaged cells has shown to be important. However, there are two sources of damage: in vivo and in vitro. Damage in vivo occurs by apoptosis, necrosis, or immune response. Damage in vitro occurs during sample acquisition, handling, transport, processing, or analysis. It is therefore desirable to confine, reduce, eliminate, or at least qualify in vitro damage to prevent it from interfering in analysis. Described herein are methods to diagnose, monitor, and screen disease based on circulating rare cells, including malignancy as determined by CTC, clusters, fragments, and debris. Also provided are kits for assaying biological specimens using these methods.

Abstract: A six-axis force sensor (1) consists of a sensor chip having
a six-axis force sensor function formed using a semiconductor
substrate (2) and film-forming technology. Connecting parts
(5A-5D) are each made up of a high-rigidity bridge part and a
low-rigidity elastic part. Semiconductor strain resistance
devices (Syal-Sya3, Sybl-Syb3, Sxa1-Sxa3, Sxb1-Sxb3) consisting
of active layers are disposed on the front sides of the connecting
parts. The elastic parts of the connecting parts absorb excess
strains acting on the connecting parts and suppress the occurrence
of strain spread over the whole semiconductor substrate. Because
forces and moments of six specified axis components cause strains
to occur selectively in corresponding strain resistance devices,
by suitably combining measured results from selected resistance
devices it is possible to effectively separate an applied external
force into six components of force and moment and greatly suppress
other axis interference in the measured results. As a result,
six components of force and moment of an external force can be
measured with good reproducibility on the basis of the strains
arising in the resistance devices disposed on the connecting
parts.

Abstract: A proactive, resilient and self-tuning memory management
system and method that result in actual and perceived performance
improvements in memory management, by loading and maintaining
data that is likely to be needed into memory, before the data is
actually needed. The system includes mechanisms directed towards
historical memory usage monitoring, memory usage analysis,
refreshing memory with highly-valued (e.g., highly utilized)
pages, I/O pre-fetching efficiency, and aggressive disk
management. Based on the memory usage information, pages are
prioritized with relative values, and mechanisms work to prefetch
and/or maintain the more valuable pages in memory. Pages
are pre-fetched and maintained in a prioritized standby page set
that includes a number of subsets, by which more valuable pages
remain in memory over less valuable pages. Valuable data that is
paged out may be automatically brought back, in a resilient
manner. Benefits include significantly reducing or even
eliminating disk I/O due to memory page faults.
