Abstract: Disclosed is an implementation of a high priority path that is in addition to the normal low priority path through a multi-stage switching network. The high priority path is established at the quickest possible speed because the high priority command is stored at the switch stage involved and made on a priority basis as soon as output port required becomes available. In addition, a positive feedback is given to the node establishing the connection immediately upon the making of the connection so that it may proceed at the earliest possible moment. The high priority path is capable of processing multiple high priority pending requests, and resolving the high priority contention using a snapshot register which implements a rotating priority such that no one requesting device can ever be locked out or experience data starvation. A dual priority switching apparatus with input port connections to output port connections uses an asynchronous means to resolve contention under low priority and the absence of blockage conditions, and switches automatically to a priority driven synchronous means of resolving contention under the presence of blockage and high priority conditions. The disclosed improvement to the ALL-NODE (Asynchronous, Low Latency inter-NODE) Switch permits contention to be detected and resolved on chip in either a low or high priority mode, and yet the logic implementation is extremely simple and low in gate count, so the switch design is never gate limited. The protocol requires several parallel data lines plus four control lines so that the switching apparatus can used for networks having a plurality of nodes, each node having a plurality of input and output ports, with a a multiplexer control circuit for each output port for connecting any of I inputs to any of Z outputs, where I and Z can assume any unique value greater or equal to two, and a different priority level is assigned to a function. The switch has a single physical network path element over which either a low priority or high priority path can be established.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating the contextual translation of textual entries within an interactive software application which is executable within a data processing system. A contextual translation procedure is created and inserted into a selected interactive software application. During execution of the selected interactive software application, display screens (18) containing textual entries (30) are typically generated. Upon encountering a screen requiring translation an operator may invoke the contextual translation procedure, causing a translation viewport (36) to be displayed. Individual translate phrases within the display screen are then selected and displayed within the translation viewport. A contextual translation may then be entered into the translation viewport by a translator and displayed therein in proximity to the selected translatable phrase. Upon completion of translation of a selected phrase, the newly created translation is substituted for the existing phrase within the display screen, automatically altering the display area, if necessary, and a subsequent translatable phrase may be selected. In this manner, translation may occur during actual execution of an interactive software application, permitting contextual variations to be observed and compensated for.

Abstract: A method, for execution by a graphics processing system (10), for rendering objects for display to a viewer upon a display (20) having a plurality of display pixels. The method includes the steps of, for a surface to be displayed having a surface marking coincident therewith, (a) moving the surface marking towards the viewer or, alternatively, moving the surface away from the viewer, by an amount that is function of a parameter (S) and also a scale factor (K) that expresses a relationship between viewer eye coordinate units and display pixel units. The parameter (S) determines a maximum slope for the surface, relative to a viewing plane, such that the step of moving will not cause a portion of the surface marking to be obscured by the surface. The step of moving includes a step of (b) applying a predetermined transformation T' e  from a viewer eye coordinate system to a modified viewer eye coordinate system. The predetermined transformation T' e  is selected as a function of whether a perspective projection or an orthographic projection of the surface and surface marking upon a viewing plane is performed. For the perspective projection, the transformation T' e  is shown to also compensate for the movement of the second object towards the viewer.

Abstract: Portable data carriers are known for various applications, for example as so-called chip cards for bank transactions or also for access controls or for combined applications. For the various applications, the random-access memory in the data carrier must be divided differently so that certain areas cannot be read and other areas can only be read and cannot be written into. This division is usually determined during the production of the card or of the chip. To create a chip which can be flexibly adapted to different applications, it is proposed to divide the memory in the data carrier into a number of blocks and to use blocking information items to block these blocks against reading or writing by means of blocking information items for blocking reading and for blocking writing, which are contained at different locations in one or two blocks of the memory. In this arrangement, writing into blocks which are not blocked can be made additionally dependent on a previous transmission of a correct password, the password also being stored in one of the blocks in the memory of the data carrier. As a result, both the password and the blocking information items can be treated like normal information items and can also be repeatedly overwritten, if necessary. When the block, in which the write blocking information and expediently also the password are blocked against overwriting, a part of the memory of the data carrier becomes a read-only memory. <IMAGE>
