Abstract: A network switch includes a plurality of ports for communicating over a network. Processing circuitry processes inbound frames received from the network via the ports and sends outbound frames to the network. Remote management circuitry (RMU) is responsive to commands received from a host device external to the network switch. The RMU receives via one of the ports a remote access request frame from the host device, wherein at least part of the remote access request frame is encrypted, and decrypts the remote access request frame. In response to successful decryption of the part of the remote access request frame, the RMU accesses one or more configuration registers of the network switch in accordance with the remote access request frame, composes a remote access response frame, at least a portion of the remote access response frame being encrypted, and sends the remote access response frame to the host device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for characterizing biological specimens, which may involve identifying a cell type or state corresponding to a disease or health condition of a subject. A biological specimen is subjected to electromagnetic radiation for spectroscopic analysis such as Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) to determine the relative abundance of proteins or amino acids in the cells, which is used in a comparison to previously stored relative abundance data of a database to automatically identifies at least one of cell type and/or cell state of the cells (or the disease/health state of the subject with the disease state including the possibility of virus infection, or drug susceptibility of a subject to bacteria or fungus). The method may also be employed with biological entities or cellular structures such as exosomes and even protein or nucleic acid fragments to determine disease states or health states of the subject.

Abstract: A method for detecting a storage life of a pre-crosslinked material is provided. Tableting is performed on an unaged pre-crosslinked material to obtain crosslinked polyethylene. A crosslinking degree and a mechanical property of the crosslinked polyethylene are measured to obtain reference data. The pre-crosslinked material is heated to obtain a fast-aged pre-crosslinked material. The crosslinking degree and mechanical property of crosslinked polyethylene obtained from the fast-aged pre-crosslinked material are measured to obtain measurement results, which are compared with the reference data. If comparison results all fall within corresponding ranges, the time period of heating is increased by a step to repeat the above steps until the comparison results do not all fall within the corresponding ranges. A result obtained by subtracting the step from the time period of heating is converted into a time period of storage at the room temperature.

Abstract: A process and system for the conversion of a feedstock comprising C3-C5 light alkanes to a C5+ hydrocarbon product, for example, a BTX-rich hydrocarbon product, by performing the alkane activation (first-stage) and the oligomerization/aromatization (second-stage) in separate stages, which allows each conversion process to occur at optimal reaction conditions thus increasing the overall hydrocarbon product yield. The alkane activation or first-stage is operated at a higher temperature than the second-stage since light alkanes are much less reactive than light olefins. Since aromatization of olefins is more efficient at higher pressure, the second-stage is maintained at a higher pressure than the first-stage. Further, fixed-bed catalysts are used in each of the first-stage and the second-stage.
