Abstract: In a multiplexed assay, each molecule of a plurality of molecules is attached to a support matrix particle with a substrate adapted for attachment and/or synthesis of molecules. A spectrally-encoded identifier embodied in a photochemical medium is embedded or encased within the substrate to uniquely identify the molecule attached to the substrate. The molecules are exposed to one or more processing conditions, and then placed within the path of an optical detector adapted to read the spectrally-encoded identifier and measure biochemical activity on each support matrix particle. The measured biochemical activity is associated with the unique identity of the support matrix particle and, hence, with the molecule attached to the particle.

Abstract: In a multiplexed assay, each molecule of a plurality of molecules is attached to a support matrix with a substrate adapted for attachment and/or synthesis of molecules and an integrally-formed memory device with an optically-encoded identifier to uniquely identify the molecule attached to the substrate. The molecules are exposed to one or more processing conditions then placed within the path of an optical detector adapted to read the optically-encoded identifier and measure biochemical processes on each support matrix. The support matrices may be singulated to be read by the optical detector one at a time.

Abstract: Combinations, called matrices with memories, of matrix materials with remotely addressable or remotely programmable recording devices that contain at least one data storage unit are provided. The matrix materials are those that are used in as supports in solid phase chemical and biochemical syntheses, immunoassays and hybridization reactions. The matrix materials may additionally include fluophors or other luminescent moieties to produce luminescing matrices with memories. The data storage units are non-volatile antifuse memories or volatile memories, such as EEPROMS, DRAMS or flash memory. By virtue of this combination, molecules and biological particles, such as phage and viral particles and cells, that are in proximity or in physical contact with the matrix combination can be labeled by programming the memory with identifying information and can be identified by retrieving the stored information. Combinations of matrix materials, memories, and linked molecules and biological materials are also provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a boundary scan test of a wired or wireless network having a plurality of network nodes are presented. The system includes a test station communicatively coupled with the network. The test station creates a MAC layer scan test route sequence that includes each link in the network and is independent of the routing mechanism and protocol used for the network. The test station also creates a test agent that is configured to traverse each link in the scan test route sequence. The test agent is then deployed on the network and information about a link is reported back to the test station after the test agent examines the link. The scan test route sequence can be created by sending out a series of broadcast messages from one or more nodes in the network, sequentially applying a network tour to cover the entire network, or performing a depth first search on the entire network.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing congestion in a wireless communication network are provided. In one aspect, an improved MAC layer protocol is provided that allows channel switching for data communications over a wireless network on a frame by frame basis allowing increased use of spectrum and significantly reducing congestion. Additionally, throughput is increased and battery life is conserved by reducing the power level for an RTS message to the minimum power needed to reach the recipient node. The corresponding CTS message is then sent by the recipient node and the range of the CTS message is sufficient to inform other nodes in the network that the recipient is not available for communication. This method allows other nodes in the network to remain free to communicate with each other. Moreover, the minimum power level needed to send an RTS message to each node may be maintained in a local routing table or other data storage area on the wireless communication device.

Abstract: A system and method for routing packets over wireless and wired networks is presented. The system employs an attribute routing scheme that routes communication packets that include objects containing network optimization parameters that are used to control the physical links in the network. The routing transport protocol is logically separated from the objects that are routed, which allows objects having new optimization parameters beyond the conventional network topology parameters or network link parameters to be defined and propagated throughout the network. Additionally, new dynamic routing objects of arbitrary size can be defined that have a customizable update period. These dynamic routing objects are propagated through the network based on their respective custom update periods. The system also includes a feature that enables exponential backoff in the custom update periods.

Abstract: A device for providing machine to machine communication over a communication network is presented. The device may be implemented as an ASIC, sea of gates, or mask programmed CPU. The device resides directly in the communication path between the processor and the physical layer of the host machine. Circuitry and embedded software perform the functions of data traffic management (communications and routing), application hosting, network architecture monitoring and diagnostics, LAN operations, security, machine diagnostics and location mapping. The device is adaptable to communicate over wired and wireless networks employing any of the various available transport media including phone, bluetooth, Ethernet, and 802.11 a/b, just to name a few.
