A system that builds a network using a document collection wherein the documents are collected and represented as a plurality of nodes in a network matrix. The documents that are to be analyzed are bound to the network (corpus) at a discrete node corresponding to the document. The documents are then analyzed to determine term frequency within each document and the overall term frequency of the same term throughout the entire document grouping. This creates a weighting value that determines the relevancy of each document as compared to the entire network of documents. Finally, weighting values are normalized with relative weighting values so that the sum of the weights of all edges connected to a given node equals 1. User queries then proceed through the network from node to node using the algorithm of the present invention to locate documents relevant to the search.

In some embodiments of the invention, an access device can be provided. Advantageously, the access device can enhance the detection of the device's access into a desired body space. For example, the access device may have portions with enhanced visibility to a naked human eye, or an imaging device such as a medical imaging device. Where an imaging device is used, the imaging device can image the access device in a space that usually would not be visible to an operator, such as within a medical patient's body. Where the access device is directly viewed by a human eye, the access device can provide some form of feedback that allows an operator to more quickly discern if the access device has entered a desired space. For example, if the access device is to enter a blood-filled body space, the access device can allow blood to flow up and into the device, and the device can make the blood's presence more immediately apparent. One method of making the blood's (or another fluid) presence more immediately apparent is using a portion with contrasting optical properties.

The present invention provides a per-flow dynamic buffer management scheme for a data communications device. With per-flow dynamic buffer limiting, the header information for each packet is mapped into an entry in a flow table, with a separate flow table provided for each output queue. Each flow table entry maintains a buffer count for the packets currently in the queue for each flow. On each packet enqueuing action, a dynamic buffer limit is computed for the flow and compared against the buffer count already used by the flow to make a mark, drop, or enqueue decision. A packet in a flow is dropped or marked if the buffer count is above the limit. Otherwise, the packet is enqueued and the buffer count incremented by the amount used by the newly-enqueued packet. The scheme operates independently of packet data rate and flow behavior, providing means for rapidly discriminating well-behaved flows from non-well-behaved flows in order to manage buffer allocation accordingly. Additionally, the present invention adapts to changing flow requirements by fairly sharing buffer resources among both well-behaved and non-well-behaved flows.
