Inventor: WAN LAWRENCE A
IPC: G01C19/5712
Filed: 1992-08-26
Abstract: A silicon chip is micromachined so that a plurality of tines extend radially and coplanarly from an outer peripheral surface of a circular base. First and second mounting members extend from the base for mounting the base to a support. The first mounting member is disposed generally perpendicularly to the second mounting member. A pulse generator applies electrostatic or electromagnetic pulses to successive free ends of the plurality of tines so that each tine momentarily vibrates in the plane in rotational sequence along the circumference of the base. The successive vibrations establish a net angular momentum approximating a spinning wheel so that rotation of the sensor about the axis of one of the first or second mounting members causes the other mounting member to experience a deformation due to coriolus force. A plurality of strain gages interconnected to form wheatstone bridges are disposed on the first and second mounting members for respectively sensing deformation of the first and second mounting members in a push-pull manner. The output signals from the strain gages provide an indication of the amount of angular motion. A linear accelerometer may be combined on the same silicon chip, and three such chips may be combined to create an inertial measurement unit that senses rotation and linear acceleration relative to three axes.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for drying of a cellulosic fibrous structure having constant basis weight and/or density or multiple regions varying in basis weight and/or density. Such a cellulosic fibrous structure may have a nonuniform moisture distribution prior to drying by the disclosed method and apparatus. An equally or more uniform moisture distribution is achieved by providing a micropore medium in the air flow path which has a greater flow resistance than the interstices between the fibers in the cellulosic fibrous structure web. The micropore medium is the limiting orifice in the air flow used in the drying process. The micropore medium may be executed in a laminate of plural laminae, each of successively increasing or decreasing pore size. This arrangement provides the advantage that minimal sagging or deformation of each lamina into the next coarser lamina occurs and lateral air flow between the micropore medium and the cellulosic fibrous structure is reduced. The micropore medium may be disposed either upstream or downstream in the air flow path of the cellulosic fibrous structure to be through-air dried.

IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1995-06-21
Abstract: Software rejuvenation techniques which improve reliability of a software system by stopping execution of the system and restarting the execution with "clean" state. The rejuvenation techniques are generally available to applications executing in a computer system. The techniques are implemented using a daemon process which observes applications registered with it and restarts them if they crash or hang and a process like the cron process of the UNIX operating system. The daemon process responds to a rejuvenation specification which indicates that an application which is registerd with it be rejuvenated by making a script for the cron process which specifies that the application's process be killed. When the cron process executes the script and kills the application, the daemon process observes that the application is dead and restarts it. In restarting the application, the daemon process may use state previously saved by the application for that purpose. The specification further contains parameters for the time at which the rejuvenation is to be performed (or the period between rejuvenations), for the manner in which the application is to be rejuvenated, and for operations to be performed when the application is killed.
