Patent EP-0742512-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EBICIOGLU MAHMUT KEMAL
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1996-04-19
Abstract: A method and apparatus for reordering memory operations in superscalar or very long instruction word (VLIW) processors is described, incorporating a mechanism that allows for arbitrary distance between reading from memory and using data loaded out-of-order, and that allows for moving load operations earlier in the execution stream. This mechanism tolerates ambiguous memory references. The mechanism executes only one additional instruction for disambiguation purposes, thus producing good performance, and integrates memory disambiguation with speculative execution of instructions. The overhead introduced is only one instruction, and the load operation can be arbitrarily moved earlier in the instruction stream. The mechanism can cope with conflicts that occur as a result of an unexpected combination of store/load instructions, can be used in a coherent multiprocessor context, and combines speculative execution with reordering of memory operations in a way which requires simple hardware support.

Abstract: A program control device is for washing machines or dishwashers and has a tooth construction (2) for anticipatory control and a program drum with a program serration (6). A transport pawl (1) is associated with the tooth constructions (2, 6), the first one of which (2) features at least one high gap (3) and at least one low gap. In addition, the tooth construction (2) has at least one medium gap (5) whose level lies between the other two gaps (3, 5). The program serration (6) features at least one deep tooth (7). When a deep tooth (7) is brought into the lift range (H) of the transport pawl (1), the program drum is only moved on when a deep gap (5) comes next to the deep tooth. When a medium tooth (8) is brought into the range (H), the program drum is moved on when a medium gap (4) or a deep gap (5) comes next to the medium tooth (8).

Abstract: An infrared radiant heater for use in an infant warmer open care bed. The heater comprises a curved reflector within a similarly shaped housing. Between the reflector and casing is at least one baffle made of a heat insulating material. The baffle divides the inside of the housing into a number of separate insulating air gaps. In order to ensure that heat is not conducted through the head, spacers protrude from the housing to support the baffles at their required positions maintaining heat insulating air gaps between the heater head components.

Abstract: The invention provides a Bipolar structure such as a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) that exhibits advantageously low triggering and holding voltages for use in high speed (e.g., 900 MHz - >2 GHz) submicron ESD protection circuits for Bipolar/BiCMOS circuits. The Bipolar structure features a low shunt capacitance and a low series resistance on the input and output pins, allowing for the construction of ESD protection circuits having small silicon area and little to no impedance added in the signal path. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the SCR is assembled in the N-well of the Bipolar/BiCMOS device, as opposed to the P-substrate, as is customary in the prior art. 
     A preferred aspect of the invention utilizes a Zener diode in combination with a resistor to control BSCR operation through the NPN transistor. The turn-on voltage of the Zener is selected so as to be comparable to the emitter-base breakdown voltage of the NPN structure, which is only slightly higher than the power supply voltage to ensure that the ESD protection circuit will not be triggered under normal circuit operation. A forward diode string can optionally be added in series with the Zener to increase circuit trigger voltage, particularly in instances where the power supply voltage exceeds the Zener breakdown voltage. During an ESD event, when pad voltage exceeds Zener breakdown voltage, the Zener breaks down, and current flows through an associated (polysilicon) resistor to trigger the NPN of the Bipolar SCR and thus activate the BSCR to conduct the High ESD current from the associated, protected circuit.

Abstract: A method for producing crossover reels with random winding entails winding a yarn coating on an initially empty core to form a reel where the apparatus used throughout the winding sequence includes a friction roller to drive the reel and means for sensing and evaluating reel and roller angular speeds so that the current coating size ( delta i) is continuously determined during the winding procedure. Also claimed is the apparatus used in the method as above and including the roller and reel speed sensors and coating thickness evaluating units (27, 28, 29). Preferably determination of current coating thickness is given by a mathematical filter developed from an equation (2a, 2b) giving instantaneous reel diameter (dsp) versus winding time or versus number of reel rotations, current thickness being demonstrated by a curve over time or reel diameter. The diameter is formed from the current coating values and compared to a limit corresponding to maximum diameter, winding being stopped when the limit is reached. Current values are compared to preset values at least in ribbon formation zones and set to the preset values. The evaluation unit includes the mathematical filter (29) yielding the reel (13') diameter, the comparator (31) which sends the signal to stop winding and units (32, 34) for displaying indicating the trend of coating thickness ( delta ). A second comparator (35) sends adjusting signals when actual and preset thicknesses deviate.

Abstract: A sapphire single crystal body useful as a substrate, of thin film growth, for semiconductor or the like electronic parts or component parts, a single crystal sapphire substrate, and a method for working the same are disclosed. Considering that the cleavage plane of the plane R of the sapphire single crystal body has a smooth plane high in surface precision and is easier to cleave, for an easier dividing operation, by cleaving, of the substrate after the formation of the element such as semiconductor element, functional element, a reference plane substantially parallel or vertical to the plane R is provided on the periphery of the substrate, so as to make an index for controlling the plane R in the cleavage division. Forming a linear crack parallel or vertical to the reference plane of the substrate provides a starting point to develop the crack in the thickness direction. 
     In a laser diode of the invention, the single crystal sapphire substrate which forms the semiconductor multilayer is cleaved, divided along the plane R to form the cleaved plane connected with the semiconductor multilayer and the substrate. Since the cleaved plane of the semiconductor muitilayer is an extremely smooth plane, the cleaved plane can be used for the reflection plane for laser resonator use of the semiconductor multilayer.
