Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided for controlling the loading status of DLLs. Specifically, a streaming program compiler is provided. The compiler includes operation modules for calling DLLs during streaming program execution; association table generating units for generating association tables according to user-defined rules, where the association table includes entries indicating (i) stream branches of the streaming program and (ii) an operation module corresponding to the stream branches; and a trigger generating unit for generating a trigger based on user-defined rules, where the trigger generating unit (i) determines which conditions for loading and unloading DLLs fit the streaming program, (ii) matches these conditions to a particular stream branch to identify a matched stream branch, and (iii) sends out triggering signals indicating the matched stream branch. This invention also provides a corresponding method and controller.

Abstract: This invention provides a system enabling Transactional Memory with overflow prediction mechanism, comprising: prediction unit for predicting the mode for the next execution of a transaction based on the final status of the previous execution of the transaction; execution unit for executing the transaction in the execution mode predicted by the prediction unit, wherein the execution mode comprises overflow mode and non-overflow made. According to this invention, before a transaction is executed, it is predicted whether or not the transaction will overflow, and therefore, the execution of the transaction which is necessary to determine whether or not an overflow will occur is saved and the system performance can be improved.

Abstract: A network system adopting a first IP protocol is provided. The network system includes an address allocating server and a communication terminal supporting both the first IP protocol and a second IP protocol, wherein the address allocating server dynamically allocates an address of the second IP protocol to the communication terminal.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for specifically inhibiting host immune responses against autoantigens. In particular, compositions and methods combining CD8 polypeptide expression with autoantigen expression or presentation are described for specifically inhibiting the humoral and cellular components of the host immune response to autoantigens.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the burden of the network having heavier load, maintains the load balance among different networks, and improves the overall resource utilization efficiency and transmission qualities of the networks, by providing a network forwarding apparatus for selectively distributing the IP packets to be forwarded to the network having less traffic for transmission by monitoring in real-time the traffic in the different networks.

Abstract: A traffic balancing system, traffic balancing device and traffic balancing method that converts IP packets by switching IP address of the destination host between the dual stack hosts communicating with each other, in order to control traffic balancing in the networks.

Abstract: The present invention provides a rule set partitioning based packet classification method for Internet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing TCP SYN package flood attack, and belongs to the computer network security field. First, the firewall receives a client a TCP SYN connection request package, and responses, as an agent of the server, an acknowledgement of the TCP SYN connection request package with zero window size to the client. Then, the firewall records information about the TCP SYN connection request package and checks whether the connection request is legal. When the firewall has received a TCP SYN response package from the server, it returns an acknowledgement of said TCP SYN response package. At the same time, the firewall, as an agent of the server, sends an acknowledgement packet with nonzero window size to the client for initiating data transmission from the client. After that, data packets are transferred between the client and the server forwarded by the firewall as an agent.

Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for specifically inhibiting host immune responses against expression vectors and target cells transfected with such vectors. In particular, methods of specifically inhibiting the humoral and cellular components of the host immune response to vector-associated antigens and target-cell associated antigens are described.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions for specifically inhibiting both cellular and humoral immune responses to alloantigen, thereby finding use in extending the survival of transplant allografts and treating graft versus host disease in transplant recipients.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system are described for distributed management of a collaboration session including local and remote servers. A collaboration session request including a list of invitees is received from a user associated with a local-server. If the received list includes users associated with remote servers that are recognized as being capable of distributed management by the local server, then information is sent to those remote servers for distributed management of the collaboration session. Communication between users associated with the local server and each of the remote servers is done through a single persistent connection shared by all session participating users associated with that remote server.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for granting/denying user requests for features of an application program are described. The method comprises: receiving a request from a user for a feature of an application program; retrieving a rule corresponding to the feature; if the rule is based upon an operation on attribute values, then retrieving the attribute values and determining whether to grant the request by applying the attribute values to the rule; and if the rule is based upon a keyword, then determining whether to grant the request according to a predefined understanding of the keyword. The apparatus includes at least one computer configured to perform the method.

Abstract: A disposable assembly within an extendable/retractable punching means addresses the problems of safety and convenience in needle techniques. The assembly enables a preset application in such assembly. The punching means comprises a punching needle and a recoverable pad. A housing pod of the assembly houses the needle and the recoverable pad. The needle is able to extend from the housing pod to puncture a subject and retract within the housing pod after puncturing. The assembly contacts and/or adheres to the subject when it is used. It may do puncture the needle, performance the preset application, and conceal the needle in one operating motion. The invention assembly avoids any potential risks associated with needle techniques: using no sterile needle, needle-stick, needle irritation, contamination and cross-infection. The assembly is of simple mechanism to easily make with economic benefits and to conveniently perform with fewer malfunctions.

Abstract: A wafer assembly having a resilient extendable/retractable needle addresses the problems of safety and convenience in needle techniques. The “L” shaped resilient needle, which disposed within a housing pod of the assembly, is able to resiliently extend from the housing pod to puncture a subject and able to resiliently retract within the housing pod after puncturing. The wafer assembly contacts the subject that including adheres to the subject. The invention assembly avoids any potential risks associated with needle techniques that include needle-stick, needle irritation, contamination and cross-infection. The assembly enables a preset application, which includes a test application or a delivery application, in such assembly. It may be available used one continuous motion to punch the needle, to perform the preset application, and conceal the needle. The assembly is of simple mechanism to easily make with economic benefits and to conveniently perform with fewer malfunctions.
