Abstract: In a relay device, a control unit stores, in a temporary storage unit data which is received by an Ethernet communication unit through a communication line. When the data stored in the temporary storage unit is transmitted, the control unit deletes the transmitted data from the temporary storage unit. When the control unit determines that, for the data received by the Ethernet communication unit, the amount of data stored in the temporary storage unit is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the Ethernet communication unit transmits instruction data giving an instruction to stop transmission through a communication line and to perform transmission through a communication bus.

Abstract: A superconducting qubit is manufactured by stacking up atomically-thin, crystalline monolayers to form a heterostructure held together by van der Waals forces. Two sheets of superconducting material are separated by a third, thin sheet of dielectric to provide both a parallel plate shunting capacitor and a Josephson tunneling barrier. The superconducting material may be a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD), such as niobium disilicate, and the dielectric may be hexagonal boron nitride. The qubit is etched, or material otherwise removed, to form a magnetic flux loop for tuning. The heterostructure may be protected by adhering additional layers of the dielectric or other insulator on its top and bottom. For readout, the qubit may be coupled to an external resonator, or the resonator may be integral with one of the sheets of superconducting material.

Abstract: Embodiments of this invention include methods for detecting in vitro the presence of Memory B cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that produce antibodies reactive to CNS antigens associated with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Stimulating PBMCs from patients with MS by a polyclonal stimulating agent promotes the ability of B-lymphocytes, when exposed to a CNS antigen, to produce antibodies specific for the CNS antigen. In contrast, stimulating PBMCs from subjects without MS do not produce such responses.
