Inventor: SCALES DANIEL J
IPC: G06F12/08

Abstract: In a distributed shared memory system, clusters of
symmetric multi-processors are connected to each other by a
network. Each symmetric multi-processor includes a
plurality of processors, a memory having addresses, and an
input/output interface to interconnect the processors. A
software implemented method enables data sharing between
the clusters of symmetric multi-processors using variable
sized quantities of data called blocks. A set of the
addresses of the memories are designated as virtual shared
addresses to store shared data, and a portion of the
virtual shared addresses are allocated to store a shared
data structure as one or more blocks. The size of a
particular allocated block can vary for different shared
data structures. Each block includes an integer number of
lines, and each line includes a predetermined number of
bytes of shared data. Directory information of a
particular block is stored in the memory of a processor
designated as the home of the block. The directory
information includes the size of the particular block, the
identity of the processor that last modified the data in
the particular block, and the identity of a processor
having a copy of the block.

Abstract: A hybrid electric vehicle includes a lead-acid
traction battery (18) made up of a plurality of series-connected
modules (22a-22n). During operation of the vehicle,
the traction battery is discharged for acceleration,
and charged by an ancillary power source. The traction
battery (18) is desirably not fully charged at the beginning
of a day's operation, so that overcharging cannot
occur, so the battery spends long periods of time in a
partially charged condition. When not fully charged
for long periods of time, sulfation may reduce the
charge storage capacity of the battery. A maintenance
procedure takes place when the vehicle is not
operating, in which one or more modules of the traction
battery, but less than all the modules, are fully
charged, then partially discharged. The full charging
tends to reduce sulfation in the particular module
being maintained, and the partial discharge restores
its charge condition to that prior to the full charge.
Each of the modules is eventually maintained by a
programmed controller. The charging energy comes from
an auxiliary battery, and the discharge energy is
returned to the auxiliary battery, so there is little
net loss of energy. If the maintenance procedure is
interrupted before full charge of a module, that module
is scheduled for the next maintenance. If the
maintenance is interrupted before partial discharge,
the partial discharge is accomplished by equalizing the
voltage of the battery modules.

Abstract: A printing method is described, for a printer having a
print-head capable of printing more than one line of
pixels onto a target document in one pass and in which
the target document is advanced by a predetermined distance
between successive passes of the print head. The
method is designed to reduce print widening at the lower
margin of a document when a user-defined upper margin is
present. The print head is controlled to make successive
printing passes until the penultimate printing pass has
been completed. The target document is then advanced by a
distance which is less than the said predetermined distance.
Finally, the print head is controlled to make a
final printing pass to print a selected number of adjacent
lines of pixels which is smaller than the number of
lines of pixels that the print head is capable of printing
in one pass and which includes the line of pixels
farthest from the said upper margin.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une procédure génétique permettant d'affecter des appels transmis via les dispositifs d'appel d'ascenseurs compris dans un groupe d'ascenseurs à plusieurs étages. Ce procédé permet de former un modèle d'ascenseur à plusieurs étages définissant les contraintes et les règles de comportement pour chaque ascenseur du groupe d'ascenseurs à plusieurs étages et pour chaque cabine de chaque ascenseur. Plusieurs options d'affectation, à savoir des chromosomes, sont formées, chacune d'entre elles comportant pour chaque appel actif une donnée de cabine et une donnée de direction de l'ascenseur. Ces données, à savoir les gènes, définissent ensemble une cabine répondant à chaque appel, ainsi qu'une direction de commande collective destinée à cet ascenseur. Pour chaque chromosome, une valeur de fonction de compatibilité est déterminée. Un ou plusieurs chromosomes sont sélectionnés et modifiés en fonction d'au moins un gène. Des valeurs de fonction de compatibilité sont déterminées pour ces nouveaux chromosomes. Le processus de modification des chromosomes, de sélection des chromosomes et de détermination de fonctions de compatibilité est poursuivi jusqu'à satisfaction d'un critère de terminaison et, sur la base des valeurs de fonction de compatibilité, le chromosome le plus approprié est choisi et les appels sont affectés aux ascenseurs et aux cabines du groupe d'ascenseurs en fonction de cette solution.

Abstract: A microwave sensor (2) for determining the
velocity and direction of a moving object (20) comprises a
mixer (6), phase shifter (8), and receive/transmit antenna
mounted in series, the mixer (6) having a single
intermediate frequency (IF) output. The intermediate
frequency output is switched synchronously with the phase
shifter (8) which is switched between 0° phase shift and
45° phase shift. Although the mixer has only a single
intermediate frequency output (IF), the switching provides
two output channel signals (I) and (Q) with a phase
difference of 90° therebetween to enable determination of
the direction of movement. The single intermediate
frequency channel provides intrinsic gain matching of the
output channels which eliminates the need for tuning in
order to balance output channels as required in
conventional sensor.
