Abstract: Computer based methods, systems, and computer readable media are provided for intelligently sorting cells using machine learning. A biological cell analysis sorting machine, wherein the biological cell analysis sorting machine comprises a flow cytometry system and a cell analytics sorting system, may be configured to detect configuration issues by analyzing results of a sorting experiment performed by the biological cell analysis sorting machine. An analysis of a history of prior sorting experiments and associated configuration settings may be performed and a corpus of documents pertaining to the sorting experiment based on the detected configuration issues may be analyzed. Updated configuration settings for the biological cell analysis sorting machine based on the performed analysis may be determined, and the biological cell analysis sorting machine may be configured with the updated configuration settings to conduct a desired sorting experiment.

Abstract: An apparatus that supports a communication link (such as DSL) in the local loop has hardware to distribute a copy of one or more data flows to any of a number of devices (e.g. “set-top boxes”) that are each connected to the apparatus by the link. In some embodiments, the apparatus receives only one copy of a number of video feeds for distribution from a video head end that is coupled thereto e.g. via an ATM network. In such embodiments, the apparatus selectively transfers a copy of one of the video feeds being received, to each set-top box. Distribution of data flows in the apparatus can be implemented by a point to multipoint virtual circuit, although a change in a video feed being supplied to a subscriber requires tearing down the subscriber's old virtual circuit leaf and setting up a new virtual circuit leaf to the subscriber. The time delay and overhead associated with such virtual circuit changes are eliminated in certain embodiments by changing only an internal mapping.

Abstract: A system for providing quality of service routing functions in a connectionless network having multiple nodes. The system generates a link resource advertisement for each node in the network. Each link resource advertisement includes information regarding link resources available on a particular node in the network. The system also generates resource reservation advertisements for each node in the network. Each resource reservation advertisement includes information regarding a particular node's current reservations for a data flow. Network paths are calculated in response to a quality of service request. The calculations are performed based on information contained in the link resource advertisements and resource reservation advertisements.
