Abstract: An Upstream Resource Management Propagation ("URMP")
solution is described that advantageously provides an
algorithmic technique for reducing congestion in a
bufferless network, such as an OBS network, through use of
a scalable backpressure method. In one embodiment, the URMP
algorithm is triggered by a congested node, causing URMP
packets carrying congestion control information to be
propagated from the congested node along the path destined
for the ingress edge router(s) for a group of congested
LSPs established according to GMPLS. The congestion control
information includes the number of congested LSPs, the
number of wavelengths involved, the maximum peak burst
size, and a synchronization object to synchronize the clock
time of the ingress edge routers. The congestion control
information is used to instruct each ingress edge router as
to when to transmit the burst packet for the corresponding
LSP. During congestion, the transmission of flows is
changed from asynchronous to time-division multiplex
("TDM") with a rate-control mechanism.

Abstract: A stress of a c-axis-oriented specimen (10) of a
tetragonal polycrystal is measured using X-ray diffraction
under the assumption of a plane stress state. An X-ray
optical system is set in the location of  = 0°, 45° or 90°.
An X-ray (16) diffracted at a crystal plane (the direction
of the normal thereto is the direction of an angle of ψ)
with the Miller indices (hk1) is detected. A diffraction
angle  in a strain state is measured in the vicinity of a
Bragg's angle  0  in a non-strain state. Strains s with
respect to a plurality of ψ are calculated from the
difference between the measurement values  and the Bragg's
angle  0 . Specific stress calculation formulae are
determined with respect to the tetragonal system having the
Laue symmetry 4/mmm. The stress is calculated from the
slope of the linear line of plotted measurement results.
