The Quarks as Dirac States
As fermions, the quarks and leptons of the first family could be described as pairs of solutions of the Dirac equation (Dirac states). The color and electric charges are associated with the symmetry operations bringing the Dirac states into pairs. The obtained quark model is similar to that given by Han – Nambu, where the electric charges of the d and u quarks assume integer values. The quark s may have an inner structure formed from quarks of the first family, s = uud and s = uud.

Point-to-point and point-to-multipoint communications
A network, such as wired and/or wireless LAN, is configured to have both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections. The point-to-multipoint connection(s) is used to communicate information between a plurality of the stations (or modem, or transceivers) in the network, whereas the point-to-point connection(s) are used to communicate information between only 2 stations in the network with the ability to, for example, maximize performance (rate/reach/BER/latency/etc) between those two stations. A master station allocates one or more frequency bands to the various point-to-multipoint and point-to-point connections.
