Abstract: A device in an interconnect network is provided. The device comprises an end point processor comprising end point memory and an interconnect network link in communication with an interconnect network switch. The device is configured to issue, by the end point processor, a request to send data from the end point memory to other end point memory of another end point processor of another device in the interconnect network and provide, to the interconnect network switch, the request using memory addresses from a global memory address map which comprises a first global memory address range for the end point processor and a second global memory address range for the other end point processor.

Abstract: A laser projection apparatus and method for identifying specified coordinates on varied surfaces. A controller directs two or more laser projectors to intersect laser lines at a specified location. The locations of the modules are identified by calculating a rotational angle and two or more known coordinates. Once the location of the modules is calculated, angle to angle intersection is used to identify additional locations. The user indicates with the controller which location is to be identified. The controller processes the calculations and commands the laser projectors to draw the intersecting laser lines at the specified location. The intersecting laser lines are actuated in a strobe effect to attract the user's attention to the position. This apparatus and method allows users to quickly and easily locate specified locations without needing to take individual measurements for the purposes of alignment, construction, verification and the like.

Abstract: An apparatus for mixing small volumes of liquids using a submerged permanent magnet impeller and a programmable electromagnet driver with variable frequency and magnetic field strength and field gradient. These variables and the duration of their application are controllable by a computer programmed with specific algorithms. The electromagnet driver has no moving mechanical parts. In a typical embodiment a small permanent magnet impeller is submerged in a solution to be mixed while contained in, say, a 1.5 mL Eppendorf conical tube or in a well of a multiwell plate. The tube or well to be mixed is placed above and in close proximity to the electromagnet driver. An operator inputs the frequency, field, gradient, and duration using a graphical user interface. The magnetic field applied to the impeller magnet via the driver electromagnet causes the impeller to undergo rapid motion in all planes thereby transferring momentum vertically in the solution.
