This paper focuses on the problem of designing a large 256×256 high-performance broadband packet (or ATM) switch. Early packet switch research concentrated on using N×log2N structures with buffers at each switch element. As a result, the nude number and the cost of such kinds of switches become prodigious and consequently could not have more practical significance. In this paper, we provide a method to design a kind of architecture containing fewer nodes. The distribution network of this new architecture based on the knockout theory has very low internal blocking, similar to that found in large 256×256 single crossbar networks, but the complexity and cost are less than that of single crossbar networks. A Balanced Incomplete Block Design (BIBD) in Combinatorics is provided to help construct the architecture. With this method, the mapping function between the input ports and the crossbars can be realized by a serial of mutually orthogonal Latin Squares (MOLS). Moreover, statistical tools are used to calculate the possibility of internal blocking of the network and to make a comparison between the improved architecture and the common one.

DPC(differential phase contrast) is an effective method to obtain information of micro- characteristics
of a surface. In this paper we present a plan of testing geometrical shape of information pits
on an optical disc surface with DPC method and its theoretical analysis is given.
