A high-speed optical interface for connecting computers to external I / O devices allows a number of native I / O formats to be encapsulated into PCIe Vendor Defined Messages (“VDMs”) for transfer over a single physical medium, preferably optical, and is thus referred to as the converged I / O (“CIO”) interface. Standard PCIe bridges are modified to support peer-to-peer communications, allowing greater exploitation of the capabilities of PCIe.

A method is proposed for encoding / decoding an image having rectangular blocks of pixels. The image has a height of H blocks and a width of W blocks and is divided into vertical (or horizontal) bands of blocks having the height of H (or width of W) blocks. The method includes: obtaining N processors and M coprocessors, the M coprocessors distributed over S levels, N>1, S>0 and M>S; assigning the N processors Pi to N contiguous bands BPi having sizes of Ki blocks, 0≦i≦N−1 and∑i=0N-1⁢⁢Ki=W;for every level of coprocessors s, 0≦s≦S−1, assigning Ms coprocessors CPs,j to Ms contiguous bands having sizes of Qs,j blocks, with:∑j=0Ms-1⁢⁢Qs,j=W;managing sending of first, second and third start messages, and first and second verification messages to the processors and coprocessors, according to a predetermined set of rules.

Apparatus for processing substrates according to a predetermined photolithography process includes a loading station in which the substrates are loaded, a coating station in which the substrates are coated with a photoresist material, an exposing station in which the photoresist coating is exposed to light through a mask having a predetermined pattern to produce a latent image of the mask on the photoresist coating, a developing station in which the latent image is developed, an unloading station in which the substrates are unloaded and a monitoring station for monitoring the substrates with respect to predetermined parameters of said photolithography process before reaching the unloading station.

A communication network, such as a mobile IP network, includes at least one mobile terminal and a plurality of home agents adapted to provide, within working sessions, communication services to the above mobile terminal. In the network, there is an authentication, authorization and accounting platform configured for identifying, within the above plurality, the home agent that serves the at least one mobile terminal in a selective and varying way within a single working session.

The invention relates to a climate controlled cabinet with a common controller (300) for climate and handling of the goods to be stored. By means of this design the construction and operation can be simplified and the climate control can be improved. To further improve the climate control, a heating as well as a cooling device (242, 244) are provided such that heat generated by the handling device (620) can be dissipated when necessary.

A system for controlling, in a multi-resource communication network, the delivery of services by at least one resource capable of simultaneously delivering, within a maximum joint service capacity, at least one first type of service to a first set of users and a second type of service to a second set of users. The increase in the first set of users is capable of causing a decrease in the capacity to serve new users of the second set of users. At least one module for estimating a parameter representing the probability that, in a given time interval, the number of service requests of said second type is such as not to cause the maximum service capacity to be reached. In the presence of a service request of the first type, the estimation module compares the parameter with a respective threshold value and indicates the acceptability of the service request of the first type if that parameter exceeds the respective threshold. If the parameter is lower than the threshold value, then the estimation module evaluates the possible decrease in the capacity to serve new users of the second set of users which can be induced by the acceptance of the request of the first type of service and then compares the possible decrease with a respective decrease threshold value. The service request of the first type is then accepted or blocked.
