Abstract: An arrangement and method for arbitration to enable split
transaction bus protocols provides for a slave to assert a mask signal
that sets a mask bit in a mask register when the slave is not ready to
complete a requested transaction. A requesting master 28 is forced off
the bus 30 and prevented from re-arbitrating while the mask bit is set in
the register. When the slave 20 is ready to complete the transaction, a
release master signal is asserted which causes the bit in the shift
register to be reset. The requesting master is then able to re-arbitrate
for use of the bus to complete the transaction. The usable bandwidth of
the bus is increased since other masters are able to arbitrate and use
the bus until the slave is ready to complete the transaction with the
first requesting master.

Abstract: A data storage system has a disk having a first, second and third
zone. The first zone has rough texturing to prevent stiction between a
slider at rest and the disk. The second zone has intermediate texturing

Abstract: A regulated BICMOS output buffer (34) improves interfacing
to loads such as 3.3 volt integrated circuits. The output buffer
(34) provides a first voltage to a base of a pullup transistor (116)
in response to a difference between an input voltage and a
reference voltage. An emitter of the pullup transistor (116)
provides an output signal. A second transistor (102) having
characteristics matching those of the pullup transistor (116)
receives the first voltage at its base, and provides the input
voltage at its emitter. The output buffer (34) changes the first
voltage until the voltage at the base of the second transistor
(102) equals the reference voltage. Thus, signal reflections on
the output signal do not affect the performance of the output
buffer. Clamps (99, 120) coupled to the base and emitter of the
pullup transistor (116) provide soft clamping according to a
square law.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a
through-hole, a substrate used to produce a through-hole,
a substrate having a through-hole, and a device using
such a through-hole or a substrate having such a
through-hole, which are characterized in that: a
through-hole can be produced only by etching a silicon
substrate from its back side; the opening length d can be
precisely controlled to a desired value regardless of the
variations in the silicon wafer thickness, and the
orientation flat angle, and also regardless of the type
of a silicon crystal orientation-dependent anisotropic
etchant employed; high productivity, high production
reproducibility, and ease of production can be achieved;
a high-liberality can be achieved in the shape of the
opening end even if temperature treatment is performed at
a high temperature for a long time; and a high-precision
through-hole can be produced regardless of the shape of a
device formed on the surface of a substrate. The method
of producing a through-hole comprises the steps of: (a)
forming a dummy layer on the principal surface of the
substrate at a location where the through-hole will be
formed, the dummy layer being capable of being
selectively etched without etching the material of the 
substrate; (b) forming a passivation layer having
resistance to an etching process on the substrate in such
a manner that the dummy layer is covered with the
passivation layer; (c) forming an etching mask layer on
the back surface of the substrate, the etching mask layer
having an opening corresponding to the dummy layer; (d)
etching the substrate by means of a crystal
orientation-dependent anisotropic etching process until
the dummy layer is exposed via the opening; (e) removing
the dummy layer by etching the dummy layer from the part
which has been exposed in the step of etching the
substrate; and (f) partially removing the passivation
layer so as to form a through-hole.

Abstract: An efficient streamlined cache coherent protocol for replacing data is provided in a
multiprocessor distributed-memory computer system. In one implementation, the computer system
includes a plurality of subsystems, each subsystem includes at least one processor and an associated
cache and directory. The subsystems are coupled to a global interconnect via global interfaces. In
one embodiment, when data is replaced from a requesting subsystem, an asynchronous flush
operation is initiated. In this implementation, the flush operation includes a pair of decoupled local
flush instruction and corresponding global flush instruction. By decoupling the local flush
instructions from the global flush instructions, once the requesting processor in the requesting
subsystem is done issuing the local flush instruction, the requesting processor does not have to wait
for a corresponding response from home location associated with the data being replaced. Instead,
the requesting processor is freed up quickly since there is no need to wait for an acknowledgment
from the home location (home subsystem) over the global interconnect. The home subsystem
responds with an appropriate ACK message. The requesting subsystem reissues a read-to-own
(RTO) transaction on its local interconnect thereby retrieving and invalidating any copy(s) of the
data in the requesting subsystem. A Completion message is sent to the home subsystem together
with the dirty data. Subsequently, a confirmation of the completion of the flush operation can be
implemented using a "synchronization" mechanism to verify that all previously valid cache lines
associated with a page have been successfully replaced with respect to their home location and the
replaced cache lines are now marked "invalid" at the home subsystem.

Abstract: A moldless method for commercially producing
intravenous catheters which are formed with
geometrically identical catheter bevels. The method
comprises positioning an unbeveled catheter mounted on
a central cylindrical support between first and second
bevel profile blades. Each bevel profile blade has a
blade surface in the shape of bevels to be imparted to
the surface of the catheter, including a relatively
steep bevel angle blade surface at the distal end of
the catheter, which is the end to be inserted into a
patient, and an adjacent relatively shallow bevel
angle blade surface. The blade surfaces of the first
and second bevel profile blades are positioned on
opposite sides of the unbeveled catheter along a first
axis. The first and second bevel profile blades are
heated, and are translated in opposite directions
towards the unbeveled catheter along a second axis
which is substantially perpendicular to the first
axis. During this operation, the translating blades
squeeze and rotate the unbeveled catheter therebetween
to pinch off and shape the catheter with the beveled
surfaces defined by the bevel profile blades. The
first and second bevel profile blades are then
retracted from the beveled catheter, and the finished
beveled catheter is removed from the beveling station.
