Patent EP-0794492-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BONOLA THOMAS J
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 1997-03-04
Abstract: A technique for handling processor mode mismatched instructions or commands encountered by a CPU within a multiprocessor computer system. During thread execution, if a multimode processor encounters a command or instruction that it cannot execute without shifting modes or mode emulation, it will look for an alternate processor present in the computer system to instead handle the mode mismatched command. If a suitable alternate is found, necessary input parameters including mode reconfiguration information are downloaded to a common memory area accessible to all processors in the system, and the alternate processor is loaded with the starting address of the code that will handle the mismatched command/instruction. The originating processor may suspend thread execution until the alternate processor completes execution. When complete, the alternate processor downloads the results to common memory, and signals its status to the originating processor. Thereafter, the originating processor uploads the results and resumes thread execution if previously suspended.

Abstract: Assembly process of a small printer having a thermal head and a platen
incorporated in a frame is simplified. A frame 1 comprises a pair of side wall portions
formed along left and right faces L and R and a base portion formed along a bottom
face D for connecting the side wall portions. Bearings 11 having notches 13,
respectively, are integrally formed inside the side wall portions facing each other.
Deformed support shafts 12 are formed at both ends of a thermal head 3. When the
thermal head 3 is dropped from an opening in a top face U of the frame 1 toward the
bottom face D, the support shafts 12 detachably engage with corresponding bearings 11
via the notches 13. After the engagement, the thermal head 3 swings undetachably
from the bearings 11 about both of the support shafts 12, and opens and closes with
respect to the platen 2.

Abstract: A cryptographic communications system for communication between a node A and a node B via a secure communications encryption gateway. Node A composes a file to be transferred to node B (50). The file is encrypted (53) at Node A, using Node A's algorithm and key. The encrypted file is sent to the encryption gateway (54). At the encryption gateway, the sender, node A, is identified (56); and the intended recipient, node B, is identified (58). The encrypted file is decrypted using node A's algorithm and key (66), and the decrypted file is re-encrypted using node B's algorithm and key (68). The encryption gateway, then, sends the re-encrypted file to node B. Node B uses its decryption algorithm and key to decrypt the file (74).

Abstract: An ultrasonic sensor (20) mounted on a bumper (30) of
an automobile transmits ultrasonic wave and receives ultrasonic
wave reflected by obstacles, and thereby detects obstacles.

characteristic in its horizontal and vertical directions (a
wider angle is covered in the horizontal direction). A
cylindrical ultrasonic resonator (10) is positioned in a
cylindrical sensor case (22) so that its directional
characteristic accords with a predetermined direction. A pair

surface of the resonator (10) to identify its horizontal
direction when the resonator is assembled into the sensor case
(22). The sensor case (22) also has flat surfaces (26) to
identify its horizontal direction when it is mounted on the
bumper (30).

measured, and thereafter, sensitivity coefficients for calibrating the sensitivity
of an upper detector 10 and a lower detector 20 are calculated by applying the
measured value to a predetermined formula. The calculation is repeated three
times, and each value is renewed for the upper and the lower detector 10 and

Abstract: Concurrent calls are multiplexed over packet network connections such
as TCP/UDP/IP connections. Initially, semi-permanent, open channels (e.g.,
TCP and/or UDP channels) are established between two or more packet
switches. The switches format incoming calls, as necessary, and multiplex
them onto the open channels. Identifiers may be added to the multiplexed
calls to facilitate the demultiplexing of the calls by the receiving switch. The
multiplexed calls are encapsulated into packet network protocol packets (e.g.,
TCP/IP or UDP/IP) for routing over a packet-based network (e.g., IP).
