Abstract: If a cache miss occurs at a time of a load request from a processor core, an issuance check block (20) issues a request of reading out data caused by the cache miss, to a main memory from an issuance control circuit (50), and then registers the information of the request in a request buffer circuit (30). A cache block (10) does not update an address array (12) at that time, and it is processed as a cache hit if a following instruction is hit to an address stored in an entry of an update schedule. The update of the address array (12) is done simultaneously with the update of a data array (11) when responsive data is received from the main memory with regard to said request. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a new cache update method, in which the feature of a cache of a non-blocking type can be sufficiently used, such as the merit of continuing a process for a following instruction even while the request of reading out the data caused by the cache miss is sent to the main memory.

Abstract: An implantable electrode array (30), adapted for insertion into a human cochlea, provides improved stability of electrode contact direction. In-line electrodes (32) are spaced-apart along one side of a flexible carrier. The structure of the electrode array facilitates bending of the array with the electrode contacts on the inside of the bend, yet deters flexing or twisting of the array in other directions. The electrode contacts preferably are each made from tw o strips of metal (210, 220), arranged in a "T" shape (top view). During assembly, all of the "T" strips are held in position on an iro n sheet (100). Two wire bundles (202, 203) are formed that pass along each side of each "T". The leg of each "T" is folded over to pinc h at least one of the wires from one of the wire bundles therebetween. This pinched wire is then resistance welded to the strip. The sides of the "T" are then folded up. In one embodiment, the sides touch or nearly touch to form a ".DELTA." shape (FIG. 5A). In another embodiment, the sides are directed upwards to form a "U" shape (FIG. 6B). The wire bundles going to more distal electrodes pass throu gh The ".DELTA." or "U" and are engaged thereby. A flexible carrier (36), made from, e.g., silicone rubber, is molded over and around th e wire bundles and folded electrodeT's, preferably in a slightly curved shape. The iron sheet is chemically etched away, leaving a n array of spaced-apart electrode contact areas along one edge of the flexible carrier, each of which is electrically attached to at least one wire which passes through the carrier. In one embodiment, soft shoulders (70) or bumps or ridges are formed in between eac h electrode contact. A soft tip (37), which in some embodiments may be enlarged into a ball (37'), and which is made from a material that is softer than the flexible carrier, is formed at a distal end of the flexible carrier (36).

Abstract: An agricultural combine having a supporting structure that is driven by ground engaging wheels at a harvesting speed by a propulsion assembly. The combine is also provided with crop processing assemblies for processing a harvested crop. A  feederhouse directs the harvested crop material to the crop processing assemblies. A  feederhouse force sensor senses the force exerted by the harvested crap material as it passes through the feederhouse. The feederhouse force signal is directly related to crop throughput. An operator control in the operator's cab of the combine provides a loss rate signal that is also directed to the electronic controller. The electronic controller converts the loss rate signal into a desired feederhouse force signal. The electronic controller regulates the forward speed (harvesting speed) of the combine so that the desired feederhouse force signal is equal to the actual feederhouse force signal. The harvesting speed regulation can be modified or overridden by moisture signals from a moisture sensor located in the feederhouse for sensing the moisture content of harvested crop.

Abstract: The storage tank for cryogenic liquids incorporates an ullage vessel that provides for an ullage space. The ullage vessel is in communication through an ullage line t:o a fill line that provides cryogen to a cryogen space. The junction where the ullage line and fill line meet is of a certain cross-sectional area. Downstream of the junction within the fill line, measured in reference to the direction of cryogen flow during a course of filling the cryogen space, is of a greater cross-sectional area than is the case at the junction. This creates a pressure reduction at the junction during a course of filling that causes a net flow of material from the ullage space over the course of filling. Once the cryogen tank is liquid full causing cryogen to be redirected down the ullage line, the smaller cross-sectional area of the ullage line compared to the fill line causes a reduction in flow of cryogen which is detected by the fill pump causing filling to stop providing the ullage space. A means of draining the ullage vessel prior to and during filling of the storage tank is provided.

Abstract: Vapor-liquid contact apparatus for chemical processing in-cludes a vessel containing a plurality of spaced horizontal trays which sup-port a vapor-liquid mixture, and downcomers which carry liquid down from one tray to another. Each tray has an infeed area, a bubbling area which has apertures for introducing vapor into the vapor-liquid mixture on the tray, and a liquid exit opening at the downstream end of the bubbling area. The downcomer receives the vapor-liquid mixture from the bubbling area, and it has a floor which increases the residence time of the vapor-liquid mixture in the downcomer. The floor forms an outlet which feeds liquid to the in-feed area of a subsequent tray. The downcomer outlet is an elongated slot formed between a convex outer edge of the floor and a convex outer edge of the downcomer cross section. To provide more uniform flow across the width of a bubbling area, the outlet slot which feeds the bubbling area is not wider, and is preferably narrower, at its centerline than at locations which are laterally spaced from the centerline.
