Autonet is a self-configuring local area network composed of switches interconnected by 100 Mbit/second, full-duplex, point-to-point links. The switches contain 12 ports that are internally connected by a full crossbar. Switches use cut-through to achieve a packet forwarding latency as low as 2 microseconds per switch. Any switch port can be cabled to any other switch port or to a host network ...

The concept of using single molecules as key building blocks for logic gates, diodes and transistors to perform basic functions of digital electronic devices at the molecular scale has been explored over the past decades. However, in addition to mimicking the basic functions of current silicon devices, molecules often possess unique properties that have no parallel in conventional materials and...

High-speed optical processing for packet routing can overcome bottleneck in largecapacity photonic networks. We have studied on collinear acousto-optic (AO) switches and applications to optical label recognition. Since parallel combination of collinear AO switches can handle wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical pulses, recognition for optical labels encoded in spectral and time domains...

A four-stage parallel-plate gas insulated Blumlein pulser is under construction. This 90-ohm 16-ns (FWHM) pulser, targeted for operation a~ 400 kV, will be switched by an array of photoconductors triggered by a 15-J, Nd:glass laser for a 1-to-2-ns rise time. A smaller single-stage 100-kV 60-ohm 14-ns (FWHM) pulser, which has been used as a proof-of-principle testbed for the photoconductive swit...

This paper presents a novel concept of high-voltage-gain DC-DC converter. The converter is made up switched capacitors and passive resonant branches. A significant reduction in the count switches low voltage stress on achieved this proposed topology, comparison to that classical SC series-parallel It essential from cost, volume, efficiency standpoint. threefold. highest depends output decreased...

Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) with crossbar switches have been used to interconnect processors and memory modules in parallel multiprocessor systems. They also play an increasingly important role in the development of ATM networks. In this paper we analyze the general case of MINs, made of k k switches with nite, in nite or zero length bu ers (unbu ered). The exact solution of the ...

The CLW modulator represents the first successful application of high-power IGBT switching modules to meeting the requirements of multi-megawatt peak power modulators for microwave amplifier applications. Unlike some other solid-state modulators, no semiconductor switches are placed in series in this system. Neither are the switches connected in parallel. Rather, each switch drives a segment of...

We have designed programmable DNA-based nanoswitches whose closing/opening can be triggered over specific different pH windows. These nanoswitches form an intramolecular triplex DNA structure through pH-sensitive parallel Hoogsteen interactions. We demonstrate that by simply changing the relative content of TAT/CGC triplets in the switches, we can rationally tune their pH dependence over more t...

A class of packet switching systems with inverse multiplexing of switched connections and/or flows (the SCIMUX architecture) has been recently proposed. Such systems open the possibility to use the readily available switch fabrics and port cards in order to build fullyfunctional packet switches, operating at rates much higher than those of their own components taken in isolation. While a compre...
