Abstract: A method for slowing down a high speed microprocessor with an internal cache to maintain compatibility with application software written for slower speed microprocessors. The internal cache of the processor is invalidated during the slowdown and the cache address comparison circuitry is directed to evaluate external addresses for a preset interval, preventing the processor from the accessing the cache, thereby slowing down the processor. The external address evaluation direction is released when a bus requesting device indicates a bus request during the slowdown, allowing the processor to respond to the bus request promptly to prevent possible latency problems from occurring, but still maintaining the processor in a halted state.

Abstract: In the illustrative embodiments of the invention disclosed, a neutron porosity well logging tool includes a D-T neutron accelerator (12) and a fast-neutron monitor (14) for monitoring accelerator output. The monitor comprises an organic scintillator (30) having a characteristic dimension that is small relative to the average range of gamma ray-induced electrons that would produce high pulses of magnitudes comparable to those resulting from recoil protons produced by source neutrons, while it is large relative to the average range of such recoil protons. The scintillator is coupled via a photomultiplier (32) to a pulse height discriminator circuit that passes pulses in the higher-energy flat portion of the spectrum. Consequently, the neutron source monitor produces a signal that is proportional to the intensity of the neutron source.

Abstract: In optical transmission systems, active star networks are used, inter alia, as components which in each case comprise an opto-electric coupler (11, 12) for each incoming transmission path and in each case an electro-optical coupler (21, 22) for each outgoing transmission path and which have a bus (3) to which the electric outputs and inputs of the couplers are connected. In order to protect an active star network of this type against functional failure due to the effects of extraneous light, a circuit (13, 14, 15) is disposed between the electric output of each incoming transmission path and the bus, which prevents the coupling of this transmission path to the bus when extraneous light falls on the incoming transmission path. An active star network designed in this way is to be used, for example, in optical transmission systems for motor vehicles. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A circuit breaker has two thin flat terminals embedded in an electrically insulating housing exposing respective broad flat sides of the terminals in spaced side-by-side relation to each other in a housing chamber. The circuit breaker has a thermostat metal member secured at one end to one exposed side of one terminal to mount the member extending along a chamber wall and has a contact at its opposite end to engage and disengage the other terminal to close and open a circuit in response to a selected current in the circuit. The contact comprises a material which erodes during repeated cycling of the circuit breaker. The thermostat metal member has a portion of reduced cross-sectional area adapted to burn out and separate the member into two sections to open the circuit if the contact welds or sticks to the other terminal. A stop on the housing intercepts movement of one of the member sections after burn out to avoid shorting of the circuit. An abutment on the housing prevents reclosing of the circuit after the contact has eroded to a selected extent. In one embodiment, an electrical resistance heater of positive coefficient of resistivity having an improved electrical wire insulation is wound on the thermostat metal member and retains the circuit in an effective open circuit condition until the heater circuit is separately interrupted to reset the breaker.
