چکیده
The main result of this paper is a new classification theorem for links (smooth embeddings in codimension 2). The classifying space is the rack space and the classifying bundle is the first James bundle. We investigate the algebraic topology of this classifying space and report on calculations given elsewhere. Apart from defining many new knot and link invariants (including generalised James-Hopf invariants), the classification theorem has some unexpected applications. We give a combinatorial interpretation for π2 of a complex which can be used for calculations and some new interpretations of the higher homotopy groups of the 3-sphere. We also give a cobordism classification of virtual links.

Retrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملA Variable-tilt Fermentation Rack for Screening Organisms in Microfuge Tubes
We designed a variable-tilt microfuge fermentation rack to screen liquid cultures of wild and mutant yeasts for ethanol production. The rack design allows for the evaluation of up to 40 cultures in the space normally required for three 125 mL Erlenmeyer flasks. Microfuge tubes containing 1.0 mL of inoculated medium were placed in the rack and incubated with shaking. This technique gave reproduc...
متن کاملSimple and Cheap Theia: ˇ Networking for Ultra-Dense Data Centers
Recent trends to pack data centers with more CPUs per rack have led to a scenario in which each individual rack may contain hundreds, or even thousands, of compute nodes using system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. At this increased scale, traditional rack-level star topologies with a top-ofrack (ToR) switch as the hub and servers as the leaves are no longer feasible in terms of monetary cost, phy...
متن کاملXFabric: A Reconfigurable In-Rack Network for Rack-Scale Computers
Rack-scale computers are dense clusters with hundreds of micro-servers per rack. Designed for data center workloads, they can have significant power, cost and performance benefits over current racks. The rack network can be distributed, with small packet switches embedded on each processor as part of a system-on-chip (SoC) design. Ingress/egress traffic is forwarded by SoCs that have direct upl...
