Title: Magnetic recording and playback apparatus
IPC: G11B5/008
Filed: 1990-11-29
Abstract: A magnetic recording (and reproducing) apparatus such as a stationary-head type DAT (digital audio tape recorder) is disclosed, comprising a reproduce head (5) for reproducing a signal on an analog-signal recorded magnetic tape, a recording circuit (8) for converting the reproduced signal from this reproduce head into a digital signal, and a record head (6) for recording the digital signal. The analog-signal recorded on a magnetic tape can be replaced by the corresponding digital signal on the same magnetic tape. When digital decks are widely used in the feature, old software (information recorded in analog signals) can be used. The apparatus having the function for converting the analog signal into the digital signal can be small-sized with low power consumption. <IMAGE>

Title: Moving mirror tilt adjust mechanism in an interferometer
IPC: G01J3/45
Filed: 1990-05-02
Abstract: An interferometer modulator (10) has a housing (12) 
that encloses a moving mirror attached to a mirror 
arm which is suspended by links (34, 36) from the 
housing (12). The links (34, 36) are attached to the 
mirror arm at swinging pivots and are 
attached to the housing (12) at fixed pivots (46, 48). 
One of the fixed pivots (46) is mounted within an 
adjustable block (68) the position of which may be 
adjusted by the turning of adjust screws (82, 76).  
Turning of one of the adjust screws (82) adjusts the 
distance between the fixed pivots (46, 48) to match the 
distance of the swinging pivots (42, 44), thus correcting 
for vertical tilt. Turning of the second of the adjust 
screws (76) compensates for any angular differences that 
would prevent the links (34, 36) from moving in the same 
plane of motion, thus correcting for horizontal tilt.
Patent EP-0405736-A3 (EP)
IPC: G06F15/177
Filed: 1990-05-16
Abstract: The functions of two virtual operating systems (e.g. S/370 VM, VSE or IX370 and S/88 OS) are merged into one physical system. Partner pairs of S/88 processors run the S/88 OS and handle the fault tolerant and single system image aspects of the system. One or more partner pairs of S/370 processors are coupled to corresponding S/88 processors directly and through the S/88 bus. Each S/370 processor is allocated form 1 to 16 megabytes of contiguous storage from the S/88 main storage. Each S/370 virtual operating system thinks its memory allocation starts at address 0, and it manages its memory through normal S/370 dynamic memory allocation and paging techniques. The S/370 is limit checked to prevent the S/370 from accessing S/88 memory space. The S/88 Operating System is the master over all system hardware and I/O devices. The S/88 processors across the S/370 address space in direct response to a S/88 application program so that the S/88 may move I/O data into the S/370 I/O buffers and process the S/370 I/O operations. The S/88 and S/370 peer processor pairs to execute their respective Operating Systems in a single system environment without significant rewriting of either operating system. Neither operating system is aware of the other operating system nor the other processor pairs.

Inventor: BENNETT JON C R
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 1995-12-22
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a method for scheduling
when a server provides service to entities. The method comprises
the steps of identifying when a first entity requests service from
the server. Next there is the step of providing service to an
entity, such as a first entity or a second entity, as a function of
when the entity requests service from the server. The present
invention pertains to a scheduler for controlling when a server
provides service to entities. The scheduler comprises a memory
having times which are a function of when entities request service
from the server. The scheduler is also comprised of a virtual
clock that keeps track of time as a function of when entities
request service from the server. The scheduler is also comprised
of a controller which causes an entity to receive service from the
server as a function of when the entity requests service from the
server. The present invention pertains to a scheduler for
scheduling when N entities each of which has a weight w, where N is
an integer ≧ 1 and w is a real number, are served by a server. The
scheduler is comprised of a starting time memory having starting
times s i  when the N entities request service, where 1 ≦ i ≦ N and
is an integer, and s i  is the time at which the i'th entity may next
get service from the server. The scheduler is also comprised of a
finishing time memory having finishing times f i  when the N entities
should be serviced, where f i  is the time by which the i'th entity
should be serviced by the server. The scheduler is also comprised
of a virtual clock that keeps track of time V k  where k ≧ 0 and is
an integer and 
   V     k   = MAX ( V     k -1  + (1* X ) + (1 /AW ) * T ),   
( s     Smin   * Y ) = (( f     Fmin    -  s     Smin   ) * Z )) 
    where  (| T | + | X |) * (| Y | + | Z |) > 0 
where s Smin  is the earliest start time s i  of when an entity requests
service from the server; f Fmin  is the earliest finish time of an
entity waiting for service from the server; V k-1  is the virtual time
when the server last served an entity; AW = sum over all entities
currently asking for service of w i , where w i  is the i'th entity's
weight; and X, T, Y and Z are real numbers.

Abstract: A method for verifying that the expected components of a postage
metering system includes alternate embodiments for verifying a PSD
coupled to a host system is the expected PSD. The method further includes
verifying the host system as the expected host system. A first message is
encrypted in the PSD using a first cryptographic key to obtain a first
encrypted message. The first encrypted message is sent to the host system
which decrypts the first encrypted message using a second cryptographic
key. The host system then encrypts a second message derived from the
decrypted first encrypted message using the second cryptographic key. The
host system then sends the encrypted second message to the PSD which
decrypts the second encrypted message in the PSD using the first
cryptographic key. The PSD compares the decrypted second encrypted
message with the first message, and activates the PSD for processing
transactions requested by the host system when the decrypted second
encrypted message corresponds to the first message.
