Title: Multiprocessor computer system
Inventor: KOEHLER THOMAS
IPC: G06F12/10
Filed: 2014-08-14
Abstract: An improved computer system (1) with multiple physical procesÂ­sors (3) supports virtual addressing and shares main memory (5) and a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) (100) for virtual addressing. Virtual processors (3) are dispatched to the physical processors in time slice mode, the virtual procesÂ­sors (3) represented by multiple execution threads, the logical state of all threads of a virtual processor (3) being stored in a state descriptor field in the main memory (5) when the virtual processor (3) is removed from one of the physical processors. Each thread has assigned a thread identifier unique to a virtual processor (3), each virtual processor (3) having an assigned unique state descriptor identifier. The TLB (100) comprises a first storing means (120) storing address translaÂ­tions for the threads of the multiple virtual processors (3) unÂ­der their respective thread identifier and state descriptor identifier; generation means (130) generating a sequence number when an entry in the TLB (100) is creÂ­ated; second storing means (120) responsive to the generation means (130) storing the sequence number together with a respecÂ­tive thread identifier, state descriptor identifier, and a valid bit in a respective TLB entry, wherein the valid bit indicates if the TLB buffer enÂ­try is valid or not; a state descriptor/thread array (110) storÂ­ing a dedicated valid bit and the sequence number for each thread identifier of each state descriptor identifier; and hit compare logic means to determine if an address translation is stored in the TLB (100) for a current thread identifier and a current state descriptor identifier by comparing the TLB entries with the enÂ­tries in said state descriptor/thread array (110).

Title: X-ray topography apparatus
Inventor: OMOTE KAZUHIKO
IPC: G01N23/207
Filed: 2014-10-31
Abstract: Disclosed herein is an X-ray topography apparatus including an X-ray source 11, a multilayer film mirror 12 (which may be a multilayer film monochromator (50, Fig.2), a slit 13, a two-dimensional X-ray detector 21, and a sample moving device 20 that sequentially moves the sample to a plurality of step positions. The X-ray source is a minute focal spot. The multilayer film mirror forms monochromatic, collimated, high-intensity X-rays. The direction in which the multilayer film mirror collimates the X-rays coincides with the width direction of the slit. The step size by which the sample is moved is smaller than the width of the slit. The combination of the size of the minute focal spot, the width of the slit, and the intensity of the X-rays that exit out of the multilayer film mirror allows the contrast of an X-ray image produced when the detector receives X-rays for a predetermined period of 1 minute or shorter to be high enough for observation of the X-ray image.

Title: Operation of an electrodynamic gramophone pickup as a displacement-sensitive transducer by detecting short-circuit current
Inventor: RICHARD ARTHUR BRICE
IPC: H04R11/08
Filed: 2017-04-04
Abstract: An electrodynamic gramophone pickup comprises a displacement-sensitive transducer which senses the short-circuit output-current generated by the pickup when tracing a gramophone record. A voltage generator (1, fig 1) feeds an internal impedance comprising a resistive component (2, fig 1) and an inductive component (3, fig 1). Two such circuits are present in a stereo pickup. In normal operation the open circuit voltage of the pickup 4 is developed by across a resistor 5 and amplified by a low noise amplifier 6. By sensing the output current rather than the voltage, the electrodynamic pickup may be made displacement sensitive.
