Abstract: A modular fluidic chip includes a body configured to have at least one flow channel formed in an inside thereof and be connected to another modular fluidic chip to allow the at least one flow channel to communicate with a flow channel provided in the other modular fluidic chip. A fluidic chip capable of performing one function is formed in the form of a module, whereby a fluidic flow system of various structures can be implemented without restriction in shape or size by connecting a plurality of fluidic chips capable of performing different functions as necessary. Through this, various and accurate experimental data can be obtained, and when a specific portion is deformed or damaged, only the fluidic chip corresponding thereto can be replaced, thereby reducing manufacture and maintenance costs.

Abstract: A data transmitting and receiving device, which transmits and receives ATM cells between the calculation processing modules is described. The ATM-based data transmitting and receiving device includes a transmitting means and a data receiving means. The data receiving means includes a memory controller for controlling storage of successively received ATM cells in corresponding cell buffers, and a memory controlled by it. The memory includes a linked cell buffer, a free cell buffer identifier queue, a receiving state table and a receiving completion state queue. Accordingly, a separate device (e.g., ASIC chip) can be used to transmit and receive ATM cells instead of the conventional calculation processing module so that the transmission efficiency of the ATM cell can be increased and the load of the calculation processing device can be reduced.

Abstract: A computer method and system capable of searching multiple heterogeneous datastores with heterogeneous data types by employing an object oriented data model to define a federated datastore object. The federated query object translates a generic query into the appropriate queries for each datastore, the federated datastore object acts as a virtual datastore for multiple heterogeneous datastores with the ability to map concepts between datastores, and the federated collection object represents results from a federated query in a hierarchy that maintains sub-grouping information from each datastore to allow accessing of results by datastore or as a single collection of results. The federated objects thus provide user applications with enhanced accessibility of different hierarchies of information, as well as more robust search capabilities.
