Abstract: A bus control system for transferring a command or
data between two integrated circuit devices (hereafter
LSIs (A and B)) wherein an LSI (A) for issuing a
command or data (issuing side LSI (A)) outputs a strobe
signal (CMD_STRB), which indicates that a valid command
or data was issued, to an LSI (B) which receives the
command or data (receiving side LSI (B)), and the
receiving side LSI (B) outputs a signal, which notifies
that command processing has been completed (command
ready signal (CMD_READY)), to the issuing side LSI (A).
The issuing side LSI (A) comprises a counter (18) where
a value to indicate the number of commands which the
receiving side LSI (B) can simultaneously process or
simultaneously receive is loaded at initialization,
wherein the counter value is decremented when a command
or data is issued, the counter value is incremented
when the ready signal (CMD_READY) is received, and
issuing a command or data is inhibited when the counter
value becomes "0". Therefore the issuing side LSI (A)
can issue a command or data to the receiving side LSI
(B) without confirming a busy signal from the receiving
side LSI (A).

Abstract: A security system for electronic circuits (for example electronic circuits contained within
a secure POS terminal (200)) is provided that is both more tamper resistant, and tamper
responsive and less expensive than the prior art epoxy potting. This is achieved by
inserting an electrical connector (310) between a first (260A) and a second (260B) circuit
board contained within a case of the POS terminal (200). The first (260A) and the
second (260B) circuit boards are any type of circuit board known in the art. If the case
is opened the connector no longer provides an electrical connection between the first
(260A) and the second (260B) circuit boards, triggering a tamper detection circuit (460).
In some embodiments, a flexible conductive film (340) is wrapped around the circuit
boards and the connector (310). If a tamperer attempts to penetrate the case of the POS
terminal (200) to disable the tamper detection circuit, the circuit on the flexible security
film (340) is interrupted, in turn triggering the tamper detection circuit (460). By
eliminating the potting process the cost and complexity of manufacture are reduced. In
addition, the circuitry within the terminal (200) can be accessed for repair and
maintenance purposes.

Abstract: The stanchion comprises two tubes (1) and (2)
telescopically coupled to each other in which the outer
tube (1) is comprised of two segments (3) and (3') welded
to each other and opposite said welding being provided a
protrusion (15) under which is defined a lower edge (14)
which is placed inside the segment (3), thereby defining
a stop for a pin (11) which is housed transversely in two
opposing orifices (10) of the inner tube (2), so that it
limits the upwards displacement of said tube (2) inside the
outer tube (1), while a deformation (12) made on the
inner tube (2) after its bottom end is inserted in the
outer tube (1) provides a stop which prevents said bottom
end of the inner tube (2) from exiting through the
orifice (7) of the baseplate (6) of the outer tube (1).
The stops determined by the pin (11) and the deformation
(12) against the edge (12) of the outer tube (1) and
against its baseplate (6) provide a safety system which
allows the longitudinal displacement of the inner tube
(2) with respect to the outer tube (1), preventing their
separation.

Abstract: In a method for recognizing a preceding vehicle (PV)
traveling on a traffic lane on which a subject vehicle (V) is
traveling, it is determined whether or not the preceding
vehicle is deviated from a preceding vehicle recognizing
region (RR) ahead of the subject vehicle. Then, when the
preceding vehicle is deviated from the preceding vehicle
recognizing region, it is determined whether or not the
traffic lane is curved while maintaining recognition of the
preceding vehicle. When the traffic lane is curved, it is
determined whether or not the preceding vehicle has entered
the preceding vehicle recognizing region for a predetermined
time period (T ext ) while maintaining the recognition of the
preceding vehicle. As a result, the recognition of preceding
vehicle is maintained or released in accordance with whether
or not the preceding vehicle has entered the preceding vehicle
recognizing region for the predetermined time period.

Abstract: Various implementations of the described subject matter provide for the management of a multi-dimensional sleep queue, such that a group of threads with a same wake-up time are removed from the multi-dimensional sleep queue in a deterministic amount of time that is independent of the number of threads in the removed group. This is significant because it allows an operating system to schedule other threads for execution within deterministic/predetermined time parameters. Moreover, the described subject matter also provides for inserting new threads into the multi-dimensional sleep queue in a manner that allows other processes to execute during the thread insertion process.

Abstract: Verfahren zur Funktionalisierung und Passivierung der Oberfläche von
Silizium-Wafern durch elektrochemisches Abscheiden dünner organischer
Schichten 
     Es ist ein Verfahren zum elektrochemischen Abscheiden dünner organischer
Schichten auf Silizium-Wafern bekannt, das den Nachteil aufweist, daß die
Siliziumoberfläche durch die ätzende Wirkung des Fluorwasserstoffs
aufgeraut wird und so die ursprünglich atomar glatte Oberfläche verloren
geht. 
     Nach dem vorliegenden Verfahren wird die Substanz zur chemischen Ätzung
gegen einen sauren Elektrolyten ausgetauscht. Der Elektrolyt wird unter
einem Potential gegenüber dem Silizium-Wafer gehalten, das negativ
gegenüber dem Oxidationspotential der Oberfläche des Silizium-Wafers und
positiv gegenüber einer (makroskopischen) Wasserstoff-Blasenbildung ist. Zu
dem Elektrolyten wird die gelöste organische Verbindung zugegeben, wobei
der Elektrolyt bis zum vollständigen Abscheiden der organischen Schicht im
wesentlichen unter dem gleichen Potential gehalten wird. 
     Das Verfahren eignet sich z. B. für das Abscheiden von
Diazoniumverbindungen.

Abstract: A moisture sump (14) integrated into a carbon dioxide absorber canister (18) provides a
collection reservoir (80) for condensate from a patient ventilator system when the carbon
dioxide absorber canister is attached to the ventilator system. The volume of the moisture
sump (14,80) is appropriately sized so that the time interval required to collect a maximum
amount of condensate interval is not more than the life expectancy of the carbon dioxide
absorbing material contained within a chamber (90) of the canister. The moisture sump (14)
allows condensate management of difficult to drain areas such as the inlet (34) to the
expiratory check valve (38,41) of a ventilator system. The removal of the carbon dioxide
absorber canister (18) by a patient attendee to replace the carbon dioxide absorbing material
ensures that the condensate collected by the integral moisture sump (14,80) is eliminated
from the patient ventilator system.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring a position of an imaging element (436)
located within a scan head (120) of an imaging probe, such as
transesophageal ultrasound probe (100), is provided. The imaging probe may
be used in a medical imaging system and/or a three-dimensional imaging
system. The probe includes an articulating portion (115) having a scan head
(120). The scan head (120) includes an imaging element (436), such as a
transducer, and a position sensor positioned within the scan head (120).
Preferably, the position sensor is connected to the imaging element (436) via
an axle (510). Therefore, the rotation of the position sensor is synchronized
to the rotation of the imaging element (436). The location of the position
sensor within the imaging element (436) provides accurate measurement of
the position of the imaging element (436). The position sensor preferably
includes a code disk having apertures (530) and a system of light emitters
(524, 528) and detectors (514, 518). As the code disk rotates in
synchronization with the imaging element (436), the pattern of detection of
light through the apertures (530) measures the position of the imaging
element (436). Various alternative position sensors, such as potentiometers,
may be utilized within the scan head (120) of the probe. The probe also
includes a control handle (130) having imaging and articulation controls.

Abstract: A size-reduced image reading apparatus for optically reading an
image drawn on the document surface. The size reduction is achieved
this way. Two light sources are so mounted over the document surface
at a specific angle formed with the document surface that they are a
certain distance away from each other and bilaterally symmetrical. These
light sources are surface light emitters made by forming a light-emitting
layer on a transparent substrate. And a fiber lens formed of a plurality of
bundles of optical fibers is mounted in the gap between the two surface
light emitters. Even if the surface light emitter is brought close to the
reading position, a uniform illuminance intensity can be obtained at this
reading position. Furthermore, if a fiber lens with a small diameter is
used in place of the rod lens, the conjugate length can be shortened.
