Abstract: A system and method for personalizing a generic state machine (GSM) logic structure in order to effectuate individual protocol layer functionality of a high speed link protocol stack at a network node (i.e., an application node) having a plurality of connections. An input event structure including at least a service access point (SAP) and a connection identifier (CID) associated with a select service provider layer is provided to a context switch and control block that is operable to retrieve latest state-specific context information based on the SAP and CID. The GSM logic structure is personalized based on the context information to effectuate appropriate service provider layer functionality. The input event is processed by the personalized GSM logic structure to generate next-state information and an output event vector including SAP/CID data for specifying appropriate destinations (i.e., one or more service user layers). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The electrical conductivity of DNA and other oligonucleotide constructs is dependent on its conformational state. Such a dependence may be harnessed for the electronic sensing of external analytes, for instance, adenosine. Such a DNA sensor incorporates an analyte receptor, whose altered conformation in the presence of bound analyte switches the conformation, and hence, the conductive path between two oligonucleotide stems, such as double-helical DNA. Two distinct designs for such sensors are described that permit significant electrical conduction through a first or “detector” double-helical stem only in the presence of the bound analyte. In the first design, current flows through the analyte receptor itself whereas, in the second, current flows in a path adjacent to the receptor. The former design may be especially suitable for certain categories of analytes, including heterocycle-containing compounds such as adenosine, whereas the latter design should be generally applicable to the detection of any molecular analyte, large or small. Since analyte detection in these DNA sensors is electronic, the potential exists for their application in rapid and automated chip-based detection of small molecules as well as of proteins and other macromolecules.

Abstract: The method of detecting overlapping postal items in a postal sorting installation ( 1 ) consists in detecting variation in the length of each item by causing each item to go past a plurality of proximity detectors ( 4, 5, 6, 7 ). The proximity detectors are situated at different points of the sorting installation ( 1 ) and they are configured to evaluate the length of each item. As they pass through the sorting installation, overlapping items shift progressively relative to one another due, in particular, to friction. Thus, the total length of a set of overlapping items tends to vary, such that evaluating variation in the length of each potential item serves to provide information that is reliable for detecting overlaps. Since it is relatively easy to evaluate the length of an item, the performance of the installation is improved at low cost.
