Abstract: A virtual memory system is used to control access to I/O device address space in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. In a virtual memory system, access to pages within a processor's address space are assigned to each application program. Each I/O device is assigned two pages of address space. One page is considered to be privileged, and the other unprivileged. Each I/O device register is associated with an address in each of the two pages of its I/O device address space. Address space is global. What is meant by global is that physical memory locations map to the same virtual memory space regardless of what process is running on the processor. Access codes accompanied by a write disable bit are used to control process access to various addresses.

Abstract: The continuous bit stream occurs with a transmission bit rate which is higher than the transmission bit rate defined in each case for inputs (E1,..., En) and outputs (A1,..., An) of the ATM network (KE). This continuous bit stream is divided into signal segments whose number of bits, plus a defined number of information bits, corresponds to the number of bits which can be transmitted as useful signals in the information part of a data cell. A number of signal segments in each case corresponding to the bit rate ratio of the transmission bit rates concerned is in each case inserted in consecutive control cycles into the information part of a data cell with the attachment of a continuously changing signal segment sequence number. The data cells are then transmitted via different transmission paths within the ATM network and are then re-combined to form a continuous bit stream on the basis of the signal segment sequence numbers contained in the data cells. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dual echo magnetic resonance imaging system produces two registered images of a patient in which the images have different contrast relationships between different tissue types. A two dimensional feature space histogram of the two images is produced and a separate centroid is located in the feature space histogram for a pair of tissue types. A Cartesian coordinate system is defined in the feature space so that one axis of the system passes through the two centroids. Vector decomposition is employed to project each image element data point in the feature space onto a point on the one axis. The fractional quantity of each tissue type present in the image element is determined based upon the Euclidean distances from that axis point to the respective centroids. The fractional quantity is calculated for each element in the original images to form a pair of tissue images. The elements of a tissue image are processed to measure the amount of that tissue type in the imaged portion of the patient.

Abstract: An anti-roll system for wheeled vehicles is disclosed that has one selective, unidirectionally lockable device per each independent suspension assembly. The device has telescoping members connected respectively between the sprung and unsprung masses of a vehicle that are free to extend or contract relative to one another during vehicle operation which results in minimal (zero ± preset threshold) lateral acceleration of the vehicle's sprung mass, i.e. vehicle traveling down a straight roadway. The telescoping members include a piston within a cylinder that defines first and second chambers which are interconnected through valves to one another and to a common reservoir to form an assembly. These valves are activated, by a control system signal, when the sprung mass is subjected to a lateral acceleration which exceeds a preset threshold, i.e. vehicle rounding a curve, blocking flow from one or the other of the first or second chambers so as to lock the outboard device, with respect to the curve, against contraction while allowing it to extend and to lock the inboard device against extension while allowing it to contract. The devices, in the locked-out condition, impart a high roll stiffness into the vehicle's suspension system, thus reducing the tilt angle of the vehicle for a given maneuver and increasing the vehicle's roll-over threshold. Additionally, so as not to degrade ride quality, and/or dynamically over load suspension components, the devices, while in a locked mode of operation, are allowed to react, when signaled, to high frequency road disturbances by opening a fast acting valve, momentarily unlocking the device, when the wheel of a respective independent suspension assembly is subjected to a vertical force which exceeds a preset threshold. The fast acting valve is again closed once the road disturbance has passed re-locking the device in the appropriate direction. Ride quality is unaffected while the devices are in the unlocked mode of operation since they are free floating in this mode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a phase-modulated interferometer having a novel type of drive and signal conditioning. The object of achieving evaluatable heterodyne signals in a phase-modulated interferometer without complicated saw-tooth control of the phase modulator (2) is achieved according to the invention by feeding to the known phase modulator (2) two sinusoidal drive signals with the modulation frequencies ( omega 1,  omega 2) which are coupled in a phase-locked and frequency-locked fashion, and by using an electronic bandpass filter (8) at the filter frequency ( omega F) of which an odd and an even harmonic of the two modulation frequencies ( omega 1,  omega 2) have the same frequency to filter out from the heterodyne signal generated in the interferometer a cosine signal, which is used in the normal way to evaluate the phase shift, when the amplitudes ( phi 1,  phi 2) of the drive signals satisfy the condition for the suitable working point of the phase modulator (2). The invention is applied in phase-modulated interferometers, in particular for precision length measuring instruments having a preferably heterodyne evaluation method. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an apparatus and method useful in semiconductor processing. The apparatus and method can be used to provide a seal which enables a first portion of a semiconductor processing chamber to be operated at a first pressure while a second portion of the semiconductor processing chamber is operated at a second, different pressure. The sealing apparatus and method enable processing of a semiconductor substrate (104) under a partial vacuum which renders conductive/convective heat transfer impractical, while at least a portion of the substrate support platform (106) is under a pressure adequate to permit heat transfer using a conductive/convective heat transfer means. The sealing apparatus (140) comprises a thin, metal-comprising layer (202), typically in the form of a strip or band, brazed to at least two different surfaces within said processing chamber, whereby the first and second portions of the semiconductor processing chamber are pressure isolated from each other. Preferably, the metal-comprising layer (202) exhibits a cross-sectional thickness of less than about 0.039 in. (1 mm). The invention is particularly useful when there is a differential in linear expansion coefficient of at least 3 x 10⁻³ in./in./°C (m/m/°C), measured at 600°C, between the surfaces to be bridged by the thin, metal-comprising layer (202).

Abstract: The invention relates to arrangements of electric connecting elements between various heating filaments and/or one or more connecting blocks as well as electrically conductive connecting elements and elements for receiving and locking these electrically conductive connecting elements for radiant heaters. Known solutions require a relatively high outlay in terms of assembly and locking facilities in order to weld the ends of the heating filaments to the connecting body. According to the invention, electric conductor connections (2) without insulating sleeves are arranged in the insulating body (1) during its production, as long as this insulating body (1) still has a powdery, pulpy or pasty consistency, depending on the basic material used, in the corresponding moulds. The conductor connections (2) are in this case arranged essentially in parallel and at a sufficient distance from the plane of the heating filaments (8) such that the legs (4) of the conductor connections (2), which legs (4) are bent off essentially at right angles at the conductor connections (2) in the direction of the plane in which the heating filaments are installed, emerge from the surface of the insulating body (1) at those ends of the heating filaments (8) to which the conductor connecting legs (4) are to be connected. Preferred embodiments provide grooves (13) for the insertion of the conductor connections (2) and mouldings (14) for closing said grooves. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing an arthroscopic spinal laminectomy or similar surgical procedure includes a plurality of cannulas which are individually inserted, in a predetermined sequence, into predetermined areas of a patient's spinal column. The first inserted cannula (78) has a tissue manipulating surface (20) thereon which is used to create a working space adjacent a predetermined area of the patient's spinal column. A viewing device is inserted through this cannula and the fluid used in association therewith is used to maintain the working space. The second and third cannulas (88) are larger in size and are working cannulas in that they provide passageways for instruments used in the surgical procedure. The second and third cannulas are utilised by the surgeon to sequentially remove a portion of the ligaments flavum necessary to expose the desired area of the patient's spinal bone and, if necessary, to remove any portion of bone necessary to expose the nerve and disc area. The nerves are then moved and the sequestered portion of the disc is removed, all utilising the cannulas as passageways to perform the surgical procedure. In addition to a cannula which has a tissue manipulating surface thereon, the invention includes a rongeur having a cross section shaped to pass through a cannula and with a suction connection therefor so that whatever body tissue and/or bone fragments are cut by the rongeur may be removed by suction through the passageways created by the cannula.
