Patent EP-0723230-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PUTZOLU FRANCO
IPC: G06F12/00
Filed: 1996-01-15
Abstract: A cache is distributed among processors in a multiple processor system with no shared memory to maintain the cached data. Each processor maintains a cache which identifies the opened files being cached, the blocks of each file which are cached and the state of caching for each file. The state of each opened file is one of "no-caching", "read-caching" and "read/write caching". So long as only one processor opens a file, and opens it for read/write access, that processor is allowed to do read/write caching on the file. When a processor opens a file for read access, that processor is allowed to do read caching, unless another processor has the file open for read/write access. After the last processor having read/write access to a file closes the file, the disk system upgrades the cache state for the file. The downgrading of the caching state is communicated via an asynchronous cache callback signal, while the upgrading of a cache is not indicated to a processor until the processor sends a disk request for the file. The replay to the request contains the new cache state.

Abstract: A 2D image supplied from an image input unit including a wide view lens is sampled into a discrete form by an array sensor, and then mapped to a multi-resolution space by a 2D filter. The feature of the supplied image is detected, and then the mapped image is transformed to a local pattern about the detected feature, and then the coordinates of the position of the feature and the code word of the local pattern are formed into a set which is then encoded. The code is supplied to each cell of a stochastic automaton. The quantity of visual information is calculated in accordance with the quantity of mutual information between different cells of the stochastic automaton consisting of cells in blocks, the coordinates of the position of the feature and the distance from the feature to the optical axis so as to control the optical axis of the image input unit in such a manner that the quantity of visual information is maximized.

Abstract: The present invention provides a serial printer and a printing method using the serial printer. In the serial printer, assuming that the number of driven nozzles (5 1  - 5 n ) arranged in a secondary scanning direction (Y) on a print head (13) is n and a nozzle pitch is a k-dot pitch, k is set to an integer which is no greater than n and has no prime factors greater than one in common with n. Further, secondary scanning is performed at least once at each of the start of printing and the termination of printing using a paper feeding distance of an m-dot pitch. On the other hand, secondary scanning other than the at least once secondary scanning is performed using an interlaced printing paper feeding distance of an n-dot pitch. In this case, m is an integer which is less than n and has no prime factors greater than one in common with k. Preferably, m=k±j, wherein j is an integer no less than 1 and less than n.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a p-conductive layer in a semiconductor component by doping a semiconductor material having a relatively large band-gap, for example a band-gap in the range from about 2.5 eV to about 7 eV, with a dopant acting as an acceptor is characterised in that at least one codopant is used in addition to said dopant, in an amount such that some of the acceptors formed by the dopant form ion pairs or complexes with said codopant. The use of this technique allows high p-type conductivities to be achieved in relatively large band gap materials. The description also relates to semiconductor components made in accordance with the method.

Abstract: A method for measuring deformations on plant components provides for
the application of a first periodic structure on a component (2) and for the
comparison at a distance in time of said first periodic structure on the
component with a second periodic reference structure in order to detect the
presence of moiré fringes of interference that are produced as a consequence
of a dimensional variation of the periodic structure on the component
associated to a deformation of the component. The method is characterised
in that said first periodic structure is applied on the plant component directly
in field, and includes the following phases: buffing of a portion (1) of
surface of the component (2), on which the first periodic structure must be
applied, in order to remove superficial layers of oxides and to obtain a
prescribed degree of roughness; electro-deposition on said buffed portion of
surface (1) of a protective coating against oxidation comprising a layer of
nickel and a layer of rhodium; deposition on said portion of surface (1)
covered with the protective coating of a layer of photo-sensitive resins;
exposure of said layer of photo-sensitive resins to two interfering beams of
monochromatic light that generate on its surface a grid of fringes of
interference having a first pitch (P) with a prescribed value; development of
the photo-sensitive resins layer for the selective removal of the same in a
way as to obtain a periodic structure having said first pitch (P) and
comprising a plurality of photo-sensitive resins bands interspaced with
channels in correspondence of which the protective coating is left
uncovered; electro-deposition of nickel bands (24) in said channels between
the bands of photo-sensitive resins; removal of said photo-sensitive resins
bands in such a way as to obtain a grid having said first pitch (P) made of a
plurality of nickel bands (24) embossed on said portion of surface covered 
by the protective coating. All aforementioned phases are performed on the
component directly in field.

Abstract: A vehicle drive mechanism (20) as shown and described includes both a differential lock (60) and an operating mechanism therefor, and a parking brake (70) and an actuator mechanism therefor, in which the mechanism is constructed and arranged so that the differential lock mechanism can be actuated to lock out the differential (40) without applying the parking brake so that application of the parking brake (70) always locks out the differential (40). This may be accomplished by means of an actuator mechanism (80) which includes a mechanical linkage (90) extending from a parking brake piston (82) surrounding the input shaft of the vehicle to a slidable member which engages a differential locking member in order to lock the differential (40). This linkage (90) includes a slotted link (94) which permits actuation of the differential lock (60) independently of the vehicle brake, while inter-locking the vehicle brake actuator (80) with a differential lock actuator so that setting the vehicle brake will always lock the differential (40).

Abstract: Received signals are digitized by a comparator (2), and sampled by regenerated clock signals synchronized to a carrier. Biphase symbol data are demodulated based on the sampling data. A biphase decoder circuit (9) performs subtraction of the biphase symbol data to be paired. The subtraction result is compared with threshold values by data judgment circuitry (15) which then judges inversion of the biphase signals to be paired. An RDS-ID detector circuit (14) detects inversion of RDS signals by detection of either continuity or a ratio of signals received for a certain length period. Alternatively, RDS signals are detected by stability of output from the pair judgment circuit (100) to detect a combination of biphase symbols.
