Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an interruption processing apparatus which allows for improvements in operational speed and offers flexibility for a variety of systems, while using a lower amount of hardware. When an interruption occurs, then for the present invention shown in Figure 2, the corresponding interruption request flag in the interruption control register 1 in the group interruption control unit 5 is set. The interruption request unit 2 then outputs the interruption signal to the CPU 6 based on the interruption request flag. The interruption level arbitration unit 3 adjusts any conflict with other group control units and outputs, as the arbitration result, a signal showing whether output is possible or not for the interruption signal. The group number output unit 4 then outputs the fixed group number for the group in accordance with the arbitration result in response to access from the CPU 6. Once the CPU 6 receives the interruption request signal, no matter from what group interruption control unit the interruption was from, it activates the start of a program starting at the same address.

Abstract: A highly distributed industrial control system employs a number of separate control modules (12) communicating together on a shared communications medium (14). Each module (12) emulates one or more basic electrical parts having electrical terminals, such as switches and relays, and transmits production messages indicating the state of the parts, such as conducting current or not. A connection list for each part in each control module (12) defines message identifiers of other parts whose production messages are received by the control module (12) and interpreted as current flow to one or more of its parts. The control system is programmed by generating a schematic on a programming terminal (20) showing connections of terminals on symbols of the parts such as would represent actual wiring of the emulated parts. A parts layout diagram is used in conjunction with the schematic to identify each part to a physical module. In this way the program is divided to run concurrently on the various modules (12) without explicit instructions by the programmer.

Abstract: In splicing discrete individual optical fibers (9) to a fiber ribbon cable a fiber organizer is used for placing the loose fibers in a retainer so that they are located exactly in the same way as in a fiber ribbon cable. The retainer is a separate part which is placed, with its lids in an open position, in a lower, centrally located portion of a main part (1) of the device. The individual fibers (9) are inserted, one by one, in vertical slots (41) which are aligned with each other and are located at each end of the fiber organizer. By means of a movable, elastic heel (59) they are fed therefrom into horizontal, slotshaped spaces (43) having heights or widths adapted to the diameter of the fibers and formed between lower and upper surfaces (45, 47). When all fibers have been fed into the slot, the retainer lids can be swung down so that the individual fibers are securely retained in the retainer. Then upper parts (49) at each end of the fiber organizer are opened whereby the fibers are separated from the fiber organizer, in particular from the slotshaped spaces (43), and the retainer can be removed together with the gripped individual fibers.

Abstract: The frequency in occurrence of discharge is repeatedly counted in a predetermined period of time during wire electric discharge machining, and a judgment is made each time as to whether or not the counted frequency exceeds a reference value. When the frequency in occurrence of discharge does not exceed the reference value, the frequency in occurrence of discharge is considered to decrease due to the occurrence of wire breakage, and the wire is judged to be broken. When discharge is not detected until a predetermined period of time has elapsed since the start of the application of power supply voltage for machining, the period of a discharge cycle is considered to extend, namely, the frequency in occurrence of discharge is considered to decrease, and the wire is also judged to be broken.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a memory cell with a floating gate and a method for charging the floating gate using channel-initiated secondary electron injection (CISEI). In the device of the present invention, a positive bias voltage of about 1.1 volts to about 3.3 volts is applied between the drain and the source when introducing charge onto the floating gate. A negative bias voltage of about -0.5 volts or more negative is applied to the substrate and the source. The drain substrate bias induces a sufficient amount of secondary hot electrons to be formed with a sufficient amount of energy to overcome the energy barrier between the substrate and the floating gate to charge the floating gate.
