Title: Cooperated interrupt moderation for a virtualization environment
Inventor: DONG YAOZU
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2009-12-17
Abstract: Generally, this disclosure describes systems (and methods) for moderating interrupts in a virtualization environment. An overflow interrupt interval is defined. The overflow interrupt interval is used for triggering activation of an inactive guest so that the guest may respond to a critical event. The guest, including a network application, may be active for a first time interval and inactive for a second time interval. A latency interrupt interval may be defined. The latency interrupt interval is configured for interrupt moderation when the network application associated with a packet flow is active, i.e., when the guest including the network application is active on a processor. Of course, many alternatives, variations, and modifications are possible without departing from this embodiment.

Title: Process for recovering crystals from slurry
IPC: B01D37/00
Filed: 1989-05-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for efficiently recovering crystals from slurry for a long time by feeding a slurry to a rotary vacuum filter, filtering with suction while rotating a cylindrical filtering member, washing and again filtering with suction, which comprises applying pressure to the slurry side so as to keep the temperature and pressure at levels not making the filtrate from the rotary vacuum filter supersaturated. This process enables prevention of clogging of the filtering member due to precipitation of crystals from the mother liquor side or due to an increase in viscosity, and efficient recovery of crystals from the slurry for a long period of time. This process is adapted for recovery of crystals of crude or purified terephthalic acid, and is also applicable to recovery of crystals in general, such as hydroquinone or resorcinol, from slurry.

Patent EP-0483299-A4 (EP)
Title: Image pattern extraction
IPC: G06T5/00
Filed: 1991-01-18
Abstract: This invention describes methods and apparatus for the radial extraction and pattern recognition of image information based on ''back scatter'' produced by focused beam of energy such as those used in radar, sonar, and ultrasound. This invention includes methods for line and geometric pattern extraction and recognition from an image based on a pixel array. In the present invention, the information obtained from ''back scatter'' energy extracted and encoded by the radial extraction algorithms becomes determinants to be used either individually or in concert with each other depending upon the application and desired function. The line and geometric pattern algorithms can be used to process any type of image. These algorithms which extract and encode the patterns contained in the ''back scatter'' and geometric shapes contained in images are unique and provide an evaluation of various multidimensional aspects of groups of pixels in the resultant image. In addition, these algorithms are not based upon strict mathematical concepts but are rather translated to the computer in terms of bit strings which require very little processing time. The disclosed methods are designed for efficient image processing in real time on PC-type computer equipment.

Title: Plasma treatment apparatus and method in which a uniform electric field is induced by a dielectric window.
Inventor: CHEN CHING-HWA
IPC: C23F4/00
Filed: 1993-05-13
Abstract: A method of plasma treating an article in a housing having a chamber in which the article such as a wafer can be treated with plasma. The housing includes at least one inlet port connected to an interior of the chamber through which process gas can be supplied to the chamber. A radiofrequency energy source is arranged to pass radiofrequency energy into the chamber and induce plasma in the interior of the chamber by activating, with an electric field induced by the radiofrequency energy source, process gas supplied to the chamber through the inlet port. A dielectric window having an inner surface thereof forms part of an inner wall of the chamber. Radiofrequency energy passes from the radiofrequency energy source to the interior of the chamber through the dielectric window. The dielectric window has a thickness which varies at different points along the inner surface thereof such that the thickness is largest at a central portion of the dielectric window. The dielectric window is effective to decrease the induced electric field in the interior of the chamber near the central portion of the dielectric window.

Title: Wound covering material and wound covering composition
Inventor: KUBOTA SUNAO
IPC: A61L26/00
Filed: 1994-09-16
Abstract: A wound-covering material, which comprises, at least a polymer having a sol-gel transition temperature in an aqueous solution thereof, shows a substantial water-insolubility at a temperature higher than the sol-gel transition temperature, and shows a reversible water-solubility at a temperature lower than the sol-gel transition temperature. Such a wound-covering material may closely be attached to a wound surface having a complex profile, since it may be placed on the wound surface in a liquid state. In addition, the wound-covering material may provide a wound-covering matter which may rapidly be converted into a gel state due to the temperature of the wound so as to be closely attached onto the wound surface, and is stably attached to the wound surface in close contact. The resultant covering matter is stable without being dissolved by exudate secreted from the wound surface and may prevent the secretion of the exudate until the completion of the wound surface healing so as to promote the process of the wound healing. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved methods and apparatus for disabling a watchdog function
Inventor: SHIEH SUI PING
IPC: G06F11/30
Filed: 1996-11-13
Abstract: An apparatus for disabling a watchdog function of a watchdog circuit when a watchdog input pin of the watchdog circuit fails to receive an externally pulsed signal, which has a first predefined period. The watchdog circuit, while the watchdog function is enabled, generates a watchdog fault condition if the externally pulsed signal is not received at the watchdog input pin by the end of a predefined watchdog timeout period. The apparatus includes a pulse generation circuit for generating a pulsed signal having a second predefined period, the second predefined period being shorter than the watchdog timeout period. Further, the apparatus includes a drive circuit coupled to the pulse generation circuit and the watchdog input pin. The drive circuit provides an internally pulsed signal to the watchdog input pin at a predefined current level, responsive to the pulsed signal from the pulse generation circuit. This predefined current level is sufficient to pull the watchdog input pin to a potential level of the internally pulsed signal when the watchdog input pin does not receive the externally pulsed signal. Moreover, this predefined current level is incapable of pulling the conductor to the potential level of the internally pulsed signal when the watchdog input pin receives the externally pulsed signal.
