Patent EP-0594356-A3 (EP)
Title: Multirate, SONET-ready, switching arrangement.
Inventor: PAWELSKI ROBERT LEE
IPC: H04J3/00
Filed: 1993-10-13
Abstract: A time-division multiplex switch (100) switches a hierarchy of data rates. It sets up higher-rate connections not as a plurality of individual lowest-rate connections but as one or more time slots in each one of a plurality of sequential frames (40, 50) that correspond to that higher rate in each superframe (30). A time-slot-interchange switching element (131, 141) of the switch utilizes a plurality of physically or logically distinct double-buffered data memories (301,302, 303) each corresponding to a different one of the superframe and different-size ones of the frames. Reading and writing of each of the data memories' buffers alternates with the corresponding one of the superframe and different-size frames; reading of a data memory's buffer immediately follows writing of that buffer. Information from all incoming time slots is written into each one of the data memories, but only information corresponding to the data rate of an individual data memory's corresponding frame size is read from that data memory into outgoing time slots. A control memory (305) maps memory locations of the data memories to output time slots. A corresponding control architecture in a switching element (1700) of a time-multiplexed switch (120) uses a control memory (1701) that maps input ports to time slots of an output port. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for booting a multiple processor system having a global/local memory architecture.
Inventor: HARDELL WILLIAM RUDOLPH JR
IPC: G06F15/167
Filed: 1993-11-01
Abstract: An architecture and method for booting a multi-processor system having processor local memory and shared global memory, with shared global memory access managed by an atomic memory access controller and cache coherence managed by software. Reset circuits are used to synchronize to a master clock a commonly distributed start signal and processor individualized restart sequences, which reset circuit signals are distributed to reset both local and global memory. Global memory testing is assigned to a processor based upon its rate status in completing an internal test sequence. The systems and methods are particularly suited to booting a group of multiple but relatively independent processors. Furthermore, the practice of the invention facilitates booting of such system when one or more of the processors have been disconnected or failed. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
Patent EP-0631233-A3 (EP)
Title: Failure recovery for a distributed processing shared resource control.
Inventor: FORMAN IRA RICHARD
IPC: G06F11/00
Filed: 1994-06-09
Abstract: Communicating the failure of a master process controlling one or more shared resources to all processes sharing the resources. A shared resource control file is established that contains the identities of all sharing processes. Master process failure triggers a race to establish exclusive access over the shared control file. The new master reads shadow address data from the old shared control file, marks it as invalid and establishes a new control file based on renewed registrations from processes. The master process maintains the sharing process list as process begin and end sharing.

Title: Storage and transport container.
Inventor: SCHMIDER KLAUS
IPC: B65D90/14
Filed: 1994-10-01
Abstract: A container (1) for transporting and storing, in particular, flammable and non-flammable liquids which are a hazard to water in cubic tank containers and large packaging means in the form of a container has a fluid-tight bottom trough (10) which is covered by a bottom grid (15) and is provided with two closable ventilation openings which are arranged, in particular, opposite each other at the end face. The container (1) is an exchangeable container made of non-flammable material and designed in the manner of a suitcase with a centring tunnel and four supporting legs (20) which can be folded in. The bottom trough (10) has a bottom plate (11) which is profiled in the longitudinal direction. Two lateral longitudinal supports (12) and two end-face transverse supports (13) are integral constituents of the bottom trough (10). The other transverse supports (14) are arranged extending solely within the bottom trough (11) between the longitudinal supports (12) and are connected to the latter. The centring tunnel is formed by two guide profiles (16) which are spaced apart and are mounted outside the bottom trough (10). The bottom trough (10) thus formed also constitutes the bearing understructure of the container (1). This results in an extremely flat construction of the understructure, such that the dual function of storing and transporting can be implemented in an exchangeable container designed in the manner of a suitcase with a centring tunnel. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1995-10-03
Abstract: A voltage regulation system for an automobile
comprises a voltage regulator 16 and a powertrain control
module 18. The powertrain control module 18 has a quartz
crystal 26 as its time base, while the voltage regulator has
a less-expensive, though more environmentally robust
resistive-capacitive (RC) oscillator 22. The voltage
regulator 16 and powertrain control module 18 communicate
between one another using pulse-width modulation. Drift in
the frequency of the RC oscillator 22 in the voltage
regulator 16 is recognised through the powertrain control
module's measurement of the frequency of the signal sent by
the voltage regulator 16. The powertrain control module 18
adjusts the frequency of the signal it sends to the voltage
regulator, assuring that the drift in frequency of the RC
oscillator does not inhibit accurate PWM communications
between the two devices.

at two different temperatures as a function of time, 
calculating a set of cure constants for the rubber 
formulation which account for reversion, and storing the 
constants for later use either to optimize cure for a 
given process or of a given compound, or to assure 
quality of a raw compound. The invention also provides a

heater, a temperature transducer, a computer and the 
database.

IPC: G11C16/34
Filed: 1996-08-01
Abstract: By setting full group reversal control gates (RVG00),
(RVG01) to a logical voltage "H", memory cells on all bit lines
of a memory cell array block (BLKn) are connected to a reversal
voltage supply circuit (DVS00) so that a group reversal operation
is performed. When one of the group reversal control gates
(RVG00), (RVG01) is set to the logical voltage "H", the memory
cells on the bit lines having either even or odd numbers of the
memory cell array block (BLKn) are connected to the reversal
voltage supply circuit (DVS00) so that a partial group reversal
operation is performed. When one of column selection gates (CG0)
to (CG63) is set to the logical voltage "H", the selected bit
line is connected to the reversal voltage supply circuit (DVS01).
Consequently, a line reversal operation for the memory cell
connected to the selected bit line is performed. Thus, the high-speed
reversal operation which fully controls the offleak current
of the memory cell can be implemented and the low-voltage
operation can be realized by changing the operation unit for
performing the reversal operation.

Abstract: A thin film transistor of SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) type includes a
buried oxide layer formed on a semiconductor substrate, a silicon layer
of a first conductive type formed on the buried oxide layer, and an
upper oxide layer formed on the silicon layer. The silicon layer has a
body region of a second conductive type, source region of the first
conductive type, drain region of the first conductive type, and a drift
region of the first conductive type. The silicon layer is formed with a
first portion of a thickness  T1  in which the doping region is formed, and
a second portion of a thickness  T2  in which the body region is formed
to reach the buried oxide layer. When the thicknesses  T1  and  T2  are
determined so as to satisfy the relationships:
   0.4 µm < T1,   0.4 µm ≤ T2 ≤ 1.5 µm, and   T2 < T1,   
The transistor exhibits an improved power dissipation, high breakdown
voltage, and a low on-resistance, and also provides advantages in a
manufacturing process of the transistor.

Abstract: A method for phasing-up array antennas of regularly
spaced lattice orientation, without the use of a near-field
or far-field range is disclosed. The method uses
mutual coupling and/or reflections to provide a signal
from one element (1, 3, 5) to its neighbours (2, 4). This
signal provides a reference to allow for elements (1, 2,
3, 4, 5) to be phased with respect to each other. After
the first stage of the method is completed, the array is
phased-up into, at most, four interleaved lattices (1-3-5-.../2-4-...).
These interleaved lattices (1-3-5-.../2-4-...)
are then phased with respect to each other, thus
completing the phase-up process.
