Abstract: A system and a method for managing forwarding table lookups and updates involve maintaining a first forwarding table in a first memory and a second forwarding table in a second memory, and then utilizing the first forwarding table to forward packets while the second forwarding table is updated with current route entries. The second forwarding table is updated in the background and therefore conventional CPU speeds do not cause performance problems. Once the second forwarding table is completely updated, a forwarding table pointer is switched and the second forwarding table is utilized to forward packets while the first forwarding table is updated. Because the second forwarding table has been completely updated in the background, switching the forwarding table pointer causes newly arriving packets to be forwarded according to a forwarding table that is free of inconsistencies.

Title: Module de transfert de plaquettes atmospherique muni d'un nid pour le robot de transport de plaquette et procede de mise en oeuvre de ce dernier
Inventor: KROEKER TONY R
IPC: B65G49/07
Filed: 2000-06-08
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un sas dont la face de transfert de plaquette forme un angle aigu par rapport à une ligne de cote d'encombrement, de façon que la longueur de la ligne de cote d'encombrement ne comprend pas la longueur minimale intégrale de la distance de transfert de plaquette qui doit séparer un robot de la face de transfert de plaquette d'un sas.  Deux sas adjacents destinés à être utilisés avec un robot comprennent deux faces de transfert de plaquette qui définissent un nid, la face précitée formant un angle aigu par rapport à la ligne de cote d'encombrement.  Un robot est monté rotatif en un emplacement fixe par rapport aux cassettes de plaquettes et aux faces de transfert de plaquettes du sas formant le nid, ce qui permet d'éviter le recours à une piste de robot pour les mouvements transversaux.  Etant donné que les faces du sas forment un angle aigu, seul une composante, et non l'intégralité, de la distance minimale de transfert de plaquette s'étend dans la direction de la ligne de cote d'encombrement.  Le robot est placé au moins partiellement dans le nid formé par les faces adjacentes du sas sans que soit nécessaire une rotation de la base du robot sur un axe vertical en même temps que les bras du robot se déplacent dans un mouvement d'extension pendant le transfert des plaquettes dans le sas.  On peut réduire sensiblement l'encombrement des modules en minimisant au moins une dimension de l'encombrement, le robot pouvant néanmoins fonctionner en exécutant un mouvement d'extension relativement simple pour transférer les plaquettes dans les sas, et ne devant pas effectuer de mouvements plus complexes comprenant des mouvements transversaux (par exemple, sur une piste linéaire) et des mouvements rotatifs.

Abstract: Fuel of a high pressure is supplied from a high-pressure
fuel injection pump 5 into a common-rail 3, and
is, then, supplied to the fuel injection valves 1 from
the common-rail. A control circuit (ECU) 20 compares a
change in the fuel pressure in the common-rail detected
by a fuel pressure sensor 31 during a judging period with
an estimated value of change in the pressure during the
judging period to judge the leakage of fuel from the
common-rail. The judging period is set to take place in
a period in which it is estimated that the fuel flows in
the least amount into a pressure-accumulating chamber in
the former half or in the latter half of the fuel supply
stroke of the fuel pump. This minimizes the effect of
fuel flowing into the common-rail, and improves the
accuracy of leakage detection.

Abstract: An anti-decoupling arrangement for an electrical connector (as well as an electrical connector incorporating such an anti-decoupling arrangement) is made up of just three operative components: a spiral lock clutch , at least one spring ring, and ratchet teeth or serrations formed on an inside surface of the coupling nut. The ratchet teeth are in the form of serrations formed into the inside diameter of a recessed area of the coupling nut in which all of the components reside, and each spring ring is a self-supporting ring that has spring cantilevers with engaging tines of a given number located around its outer circumference, the engaging tines engaging the serrations in a radial direction. The engaging tines thus provide a torque/ratchet mechanism when they glide over the radial cuts of the tooth ring in the uncoupling direction, and stay engaged which forces the spiral lock clutch to expand and slide smoothly over the plug shell with minimal torque in the coupling direction.

Abstract: Improved microelectromechanical structures include spaced-apart supports on a
microelectronic substrate and a beam that extends between the spaced-apart supports
and that expands upon application of heat thereto to thereby cause displacement of the
beam between the spaced-apart supports. A heater, located on the beam, applies heat
to the beam and displaces with the beam as the beam displaces. Therefore, heat can be
directly applied to the arched beam, thereby reducing thermal loss between the heater
and the arched beam. Furthermore, an air gap between the heater and arched beam
may not need to be heated, thereby allowing improved transient thermal response.
Moreover, displacing the heater as the arched beam displaces may further reduce
thermal loss and transient thermal response by reducing the separation between the
heater and the arched beam as the arched beam displaces.
