Abstract: A method is provided for managing at least one predefined portion of storage, utilizing a plurality of locks, each of which encompasses a contiguous range of storage, comprising the steps of: (a) defining a plurality of lock related parameters for each of said locks; (b) organizing said plurality of parameters for each lock in a logically two dimensionally order; and (c) managing lock attempts by comparing the plurality of lock related parameters associated with an attempted lock, with at least a portion of said plurality of parameters organized in said two dimensional order. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the two dimensional ordering of said plurality of lock related parameters is a Cartesian tree. The Cartesian tree is used to provide a means for quickly and efficiently determining whether or not to grant an attempted lock. Each node of the tree consists of an ordered pair of keys where the first key is the offset, within the file, of the start of the lock range. The second key is the length or span of the lock. The invention dynamically creates the Cartesian tree utilizing three parameters associated with (defined for) each lock, namely: (1) the starting location of the data to be protected (the first key); (2) the span (or range) of the data to be protected (the second key); and (3) the type of lock desired (shared or exclusive).

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for control of engine fuel injection are characterized by detecting the state of the acceleration of the engine and also judging whether or not the engine is in a specific acceleration state, by, when the engine is judged to be in a specific state of acceleration, using such a value as a crank angle obtained in advance in order to predict the air mass flow rate of the air flowing into a specific cylinder having undergone a fuel injection, by using the predicted air mass flow rate or the crank angle to determine a proper asynchronous fuel injection quantity for the above-mentioned acceleration state for the specific cylinder, and then by performing an asynchronous injection. Thus, they make it possible to calculate the shortage of fuel occurring with the synchronous injection even at the early stage of acceleration by using various variables so as to determine a proper supplemental fuel supply quantity (asynchronous injection quantity) for achieving a desired air fuel ratio in various drive modes.

Abstract: Output currents from a superconducting quantum interference device (2) which corresponds to magnetic flux guided thereto are compared with a predetermined value which corresponds to a magnetic flux locking point so as to detect a direction of shift with respect to the magnetic flux locking point. A shift quantity is judged to determine whether or not it is large based upon a history of the shift direction. A variation value component of an estimate feedback quantity is varied by taking this history into consideration. The estimate feedback quantity is used to guide magnetic flux for compensating for variation in the magnetic flux which is guided to the superconducting quantum interference device (2).

Abstract: The same clock signal is applied to respective bits in a clock output port in synchronization with the transmission/reception timing. A buffer memory for temporarily storing transmit/receive data stores transmit data and receive data in synchronization with the clock signal. Data converting means comprising a CPU and a ROM format-converts bit serial data received from each of game sets into bit parallel data or format-converts bit parallel data to be transmitted into bit serial data. Receive data writing means writes the data format-converted by the format converting means into transmit/receive data temporarily storing means in synchronization with the clock signal. Transmit data supplying means supplies the transmit data stored in the transmit/receive data temporarily storing means to each of bits in a data output port after being format-converted into bit corresponding data by the format converting means in synchronization with the clock signal. 
     Since data can be reliably transmitted in a simple circuit without using high-cost modems and the number of game sets to be connected can be increased, therefore, the present invention is applicable to a variety of games.21

Abstract: A clip-on device for detecting whether or not an optical fibre F is carrying a light signal subjects a first portion of an optical fibre to microbending and detects any light escaping from the fibre as a result. The device comprises an anvil 2 having an undulating surface and a pulsed pressure pad 1, driven by a motor 10, for urging an optical fibre F against the undulating surface of the anvil so that a portion of the fibre is subjected to microbending of a gradually increasing extent. A second portion of the fibre is subjected to macrobending by a light guide 8 or 9, which macrobending is insufficient, by itself, to cause a substantial amount of light to escape from the fibre, but serves to concentrate the light caused to leak from the fibre by microbending of the first portion of the fibre. A control unit 13, operatively coupled to the photodetectors 6 and 7 associated with the light guides 8 and 9 and to the pressure pad 1 gives an output indication on receipt of a signal from the photodetector 6 or 7 that escaping light has been detected and, on receipt of such signal, stops the motor 10 so that the pressure pad 1 is stopped from further increasing the extent of microbending of the portion of the fibre.

Abstract: The subject matter of the invention is a method for driving a reluctance motor having power switches in the low and high potential stages of the motor phases, only one power switch being provided in the high-potential branch. It comprises one phase (R, Y, B) of the three phases R, Y, B being completely commutated off, that is to say the current is reduced to zero, before current flows through the next phase (R, Y, B), that is to say is commutated on, and that the switch (TY, TB, TR) which produces the commutation process being made in advance before the commutation process from one phase (R, Y, B) to the next phase (Y, B, R) is initiated. When the current in the phase (Y, B, R) is at a predetermined required value, the associated switch (TY, TB, TR) is switched on again before current is completely passing through the next phase (Y, B, R) when the off-commutation process in the phase (R, Y, B) is initiated. <IMAGE>
