Abstract:
A solid-state crossbar switch for transmitting data traffic includes a first number of input ports. Each input port is operable to receive DSL data from a data switch. The crossbar switch also includes a second number of output ports. Each output port is capable of being coupled to a customer premise equipment (CPE) device. The crossbar switch includes a third number of 1×N solid-state analog switches. Each 1×N solid-state analog switch is operable to couple one of the input ports with N output ports. Each input port may be coupled to one of the analog switches. The second number of output ports may be greater than N. The crossbar switch may include a sweeper port coupled to each output port. The sweeper port is operable to monitor each output port to detect an active connection of a CPE device to one of the output ports.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for sizing window coverings slidably extendable from a bay into an aisle of a retail outlet. The method includes the steps of locating the center of the window covering relative to a cutting station utilizing a half scale for removing a portion of the window covering from each of its ends.
Abstract:
A communications device includes a backplane, backplane cards, and a backplane switch. Each backplane card is coupled to the backplane and assigned an industry standard-based network address. The backplane switch, also coupled to the backplane, receives a first data packet with a first network address assigned to a backplane card and communicates the first data packet to the backplane card using the backplane.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a masking technique for a SIMD processor (10) which is capable of masking a plurality of individual machine operations within a single instruction incorporating a plurality of operations. To accomplish this each different machine operation within the instruction includes a number of masking bits which address a specific location in a mask register (60). The mask register (60) includes a mask bit bank (62). The mask location selected within the mask register (60) is bit-wise ANDed with a mask context bit (66) in order to establish whether the processing element will be enabled or disabled for a particular conditional sub-routine which is called. One of the bit locations in the mask bit bank (60) is a hard-wired unconditional bit which overrides the mask context bit (66) in order to enable the processing elements in special situations. In addition, a scalar mask bit is provided to facilitate scalar processing. By this operation, instructional parallelism can be incorporated in order to increase through-put of the processor.
Abstract:
Bifunctional aromatic compounds which are capable of linking metal ions to biologically useful molecules. The bifunctional compounds are characterized as having a hydrazine or hydrazide group and a protein reactive group. The hydrazine or hydrazide group may be protected as a lower alkyl hydrazone. Conjugates of the bifunctional compounds with macromolecules are also described and labelled macromolecules comprised of the conjugates and metal ions are provided. Additionally, a method is provided for forming a labelled macromolecule by reacting a conjugate with a metal species The compounds and method of this invention are particularly useful in the fields of biology and medicine for imaging and/or therapy.
