Abstract: An instrumentation setup is provided to process electronic signals in a positron imager functioning in two different modes of operations for scanning both bulk and thin film materials. According to one part of an implementation, an instrumentation setup comprises an XY-rastering stepper motor apparatus coupled with LVDTs (Linear Variable Differential Transformers), and nuclear signal processing and high speed data acquisition sections. Imaging of bulk material samples may be enabled by scanning a positron point source across a surface of samples. In another part of the irnplenientation, the instrumentation setup may comprise an electromagnetic deflection control arrangement in conjunction with a guided monoenergetic positron beam together with nuclear signal processing and data acquisition arrangements. This part of the implementation may scan and produce images for thin film samples. The instrumentation setup is capable of producing high quality real-time S-parameter images.

Abstract: A method and system for assigning self-routing addresses to nodes in a network with arbitrary, including irregular, topology is provided. The method and system are useful in packet-switched networks and in particular optical packet-switched networks for reducing processing associated with routing packets. Each self-routing address encodes a set of paths from all nodes in the network to the destination node. In an embodiment of the invention each output port of each node in a network sends a packet in response to the state of a bit in the self-routing address in a packet. Alternatively, each node address in the network is mapped to a bit in a self-routing address. Furthermore, a node can have multiple self-routing addresses encoding different sets of paths from all other nodes in the network to the node. In addition, hierarchical networks are included among the networks suitable for self-routing addresses.
