Inventor: DEMING ANDREW S
IPC: H03K19/173
Filed: 1997-05-06
Abstract: Program data generated by the host system to be used in programming one or more associated ISPLDs is converted using a first interface from a parallel data format to a serial data string and then transmitted serially to a second interface. In one embodiment, the first and second interfaces employ Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter (UARTs). The receiving unit converts the serial program data string to a parallel data byte which is then provided to the programming pins of the ISPLD desired to be programmed. Signals indicative of information relating to the operation of one or more of the ISPLDs associated with the host system may be provided to the host system via pin SDO of the asserted ISPLD. In this manner, embodiments in accordance with the present invention may utilize a two-wire transmission scheme, and thus two-wire interfaces, to facilitate programming of the associated ISPLDs. Having the capability to utilize a two-wire transmission scheme, in turn, allows ISPLDs in accordance with the present invention to be programmed using wired transmission schemes such as for instance coaxial, twisted pair, and coaxial as wells as wireless transmission schemes such as for instance radio frequency (RF) and infrared radiation (Ir).

IPC: H04L1/18

Abstract: A system for maintaining reliable packet distribution in a ring network with support for
strongly ordered, nonidempotent commands. Each consumer node on the network maintains a
record of the sequence of packets that have passed through that node, and the state of each of the
packets at the time it passed through, including a record of the last known good packet and its
sequence number. When a producer node detects an error condition in an acknowledgment for a
packet, resends all packets beginning with the last known good packet. Each consumer node is
able to process or reject the resent packets, including packets that may already have been processed,
which it is aware of due to the packet and state records for all packets. Strong ordering is
thus supported, since the sending order of packets can be maintained for processing due to the
resends, and nonidempotent commands are supported due to the consumer nodes' ability to determine
whether they have already processed a given packet, and to send an acknowledge-done reply
if that is the case.

Abstract: A color cathode ray tube is disclosed, that comprises
an optical filter layer 2 formed on an inner surface of a
glass panel 1, a thin film formed on a front surface of
the optical filter layer 2 and composed of a metal oxide,
and a fluorescent substance layer 4 formed on the thin
film 3 corresponding to a pattern of the optical filter
layer 2. The surface state of the thin film 3 is rougher
than the surface state of the optical filter layer 2 and
similar to the surface state of the fluorescent substance
layer 4. Thus, the optical filter layer 2 sparsely
contacts the fluorescent substance layer 4. Thus, the
influence of the optical filter layer 2 to the fluorescent
substance layer 4 can be reduced. Consequently,
fluorescent substance particles of the fluorescent
substance layer 4 can be suppressed from breaking,
dropping, and so forth. Thus, an excellent fluorescent
surface can be obtained at high throughput.

Abstract: A brake force control apparatus having a pump
(100, 102) for pumping up brake fluid from a fluid pressure
passage (26, 28, 42, 44, 46, 48) connecting a master cylinder
(18) and a wheel cylinder (70, 72, 74, 76) is provided which
can accurately detect an amount of brake operation intended
by a driver during execution of a brake assist control. The
brake assist control is achieved by supplying the brake
fluid delivered by the pump (100, 102) to the wheel cylinder
(70, 72, 74, 76) when an emergency brake operation is
performed by a driver. The brake force control apparatus
has a control signal generator and a fluid pressure
controller. The control signal generator generates a
control signal (P M/C *) by compensating a decrease generated
in the output signal (P M/C ) when the pump (100, 102) pumps
up the brake fluid from the fluid pressure passage (26, 28,
42, 44, 46, 48). The fluid pressure controller performs
the brake assist control by using the control signal (*P M/C ).

Abstract: An electronic load weigh device (300) is used with a railcar truck
control unit (10). A relay valve (110) provides to a brake cylinder a
pressure proportional to the pressure impinging upon its control
port. A first feedback signal is indicative of the pressure at
the control port (111). A second feedback signal is indicative of the
load borne by the truck. A pressure switch (250) opens when pressure
within a trainline changes to a level indicative of an
emergency. By controlling the opening and closing of
application and release magnet valves (210,220), a controller (50) controls the
pressure impinging on the control port (111) and thereby service
braking of the wheels of the truck. The load weigh device (300)
includes (i) circuitry (330,340) for electronically compensating for the
load during braking and (ii) a mechanism (350) for granting the
circuitry (330,340) exclusive control over the magnet valves (210,220). Should such
emergency occur, the mechanism responds to such emergency by
disconnecting the controller (50) from the magnet valves (210,220). This gives
the circuitry (330,240) exclusive control over the magnet valves (210,220). The
circuitry (330,340) compensates for the load borne by the truck during
emergency braking by selectively opening and closing the magnet
valves (210,220), according to predetermined criteria using the feedback
signals, thereby controlling the magnitude of the pressure
impinging upon the control port (111). Absent such emergency, the
mechanism responds to such absence by connecting the controller (50)
to the magnet valves (210,220) whereby such service braking on the truck
is normally controlled, yet the circuitry (330,340) is still enabled to
compensate for the load during such service braking.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for testing component tolerances of a
device (100) for testing integrated circuits. The testing device (100) is generally
characterized by a plurality of test connectors disposed at a test head (205), wherein
each test connector carries electrical signals for a test channel. Further, each test
channel generally corresponds to a circuit board (400) that includes at least one driver
(402) and one receiver (404). In this general type of tester (100), a system is provided
that includes a specialized DUT board (500) that establishes a low impedance electrical
connection ( i.e.,  short) between electrical conductors (506) of a first and second test
connector. Through this low impedance path, a first driver (402a) from a first circuit
board (400a) is directly connected ( i.e.,  shorted) to a first receiver (404b) on a second
circuit board (400b). A controller (206) is configured to control the first driver (402a)
to output an electrical signal at a predetermined time. The preferred embodiment
further includes evaluating mechanism (206, 812) designed to detect the signal
received at the first receiver (404b), and timing mechanism (206, 810) configured to
time the signal delay. Specifically, the timing mechanism (206, 810) is configured to
determine the length of time required to propagate the signal from the driver (402) to
the receiver (404). In accordance with the method aspect, the method includes the
step of establishing an electrical connection between electrical conductors (506) of a
first and second test connector such that a first driver (402a) from a first circuit board
(400a) is electrically connected across a low impedance path to a first receiver (404b)
on a second circuit board (400b). The method then controls the output of the first
driver (402a) to drive an edge of an electrical signal at a predetermined time and
detecting the signal received at the first receiver (404b). Finally, the method
determines whether the signal received at the first receiver (404b) is within a
predetermined time period of the predetermined signal level output from the first driver
(402a).

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un moyen de régulation du niveau de puissance de signaux émis par des stations de base au cours d'une communication. Les ordres correspondants sont émis par une station éloignée vers des stations de base dont la station éloignée reçoit des signaux réglant le niveau de puissance des signaux émis par les stations de base. On vérifie alors si la station éloignée reçoit simultanément un premier signal de la première station de base, et au moins un deuxième signal d'au moins une deuxième station de base contenant un message sensiblement identique. La première station de base et la deuxième émettent respectivement à destination du contrôleur un premier et un deuxième rapport sur les niveaux de puissance du premier et du deuxième signal. Les ordres d'ajustage sont transmis par la station éloignée à la station de base moins fréquemment pendant la macrodiversité de manière à réduire les impératifs des signaux entre le contrôleur et les stations de base. Le contrôleur réduit également la taille des échelons d'ajustement des niveaux de puissance du premier et du deuxième signal pendant la macrodiversité de manière à réduire les impératifs des signaux. Ce procédé de régulation du niveau de puissance est particulièrement utile avec le système AMCR.
