Abstract: A power conversion apparatus consisting of boost conversion elements for effecting a boost conversion of power originating from a varying voltage source and additional conversion elements for also effecting conversion of power originating from the varying voltage source is disclosed. Circuitry selectively configures the conversion elements with respect to delivery of power to a load to achieve greater conversion efficiency than if all of the power delivered to the load were constrained to flow through the additional conversion elements and at least some of the boost conversion elements. 
     Also disclosed is a power conversion scheme in which power is converted from a voltage source having a predetermined source voltage range, and delivered to a load via two sets of power conversion elements. Each set effects conversion of power from the voltage source. At least one of the sets has an input operating voltage range narrower than the source voltage range. The apparatus includes control circuitry for configuring and reconfiguring interconnections of the two sets with the voltage source and the load to provide an input operating voltage range for the apparatus which is greater than the input operating range of the set of power conversion elements having the narrower input operating voltage range. 
     A way of enhancing the input voltage operating range for a power conversion circuit which has two sets of power conversion elements arranged to share power delivered to a load is also described. The circuit is selectively configured with the two sets in series or not in series in a manner so that the input voltage operating range of the power conversion circuit is broader than the input voltage operating range of either of the sets of power conversion elements.

Abstract: An application binary interface includes linkage structures for interfacing a binary application program to a digital computer. A function in a relocatable shared object module obtains the absolute address of a Global Offset Table (GOT) in the module using relative branch and link instructions through the computer's link register. A dynamic linker lazily constructs a Procedure Linkage Table (PLT) and a pointer table for an object module in a process memory image in which space is allocated for the PLT, but the PLT is not initially provided. The pointer table stores absolute addresses of external functions that cannot be reached by relative branching from the module. The PLT receives calls to these functions, gets the absolute addresses from the pointer table and branches to the absolute addresses of the functions. The PLT also receives calls to functions that can be reached by relative branching from the module, and causes relative branching to the functions. A status instruction precedes each call instruction to a variable argument list function that can pass floating point arguments, indicating if floating point arguments will actually be passed. If so, the function saves the contents of the floating point argument registers in memory. If not, the contents of the floating point argument registers are not saved. Virtual address spaces are allocated for processes respectively. Page table entries for translation of the virtual address spaces into physical addresses are not removed as processes terminate, but only after all virtual address spaces have been allocated.

Abstract: According to the present invention, during programming of a programmable logic device, programming in formation corresponding to an input signal is loaded into a shift register. This input information is compared with programming information corresponding to a second, complementary input signal to determine if the two signals are used by the programmable logic device. If the two inputs are not used, a bit is stored in a memory cell indicating such nonuse. An input buffer is disabled when the bit in the memory cell indicates the complementary signals corresponding to that input buffer are not used.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved guarded surgical scalpel having a movable guard that can be retracted to expose the blade and that can be extended to cover the sharp cutting edge of the blade. The guard is telescopically mounted inside the blade handle and includes a deflectable top wall portion that holds a detent pin or that defines a radially extending flange. This detent pin or flange engages a slot having upturned ends formed in at least one side wall of the blade handle. The detent pin or flange is biased upwardly into the upturned ends of the slot to hold the guard in the retracted or extended position. The blade can include a tang having a notch formed therein. The distal end of one sidewall of the guard can be formed with a complementary notch such that when the distal end of the sidewall of the guard engages the proximal end of the blade, forward movement of the guard forces the blade off of the scalpel. A lifter wedge is provided to urge the proximal end of the blade away from a blade carrier into engagement with the distal end of the sidewall of the guard.

Abstract: An arrangement which makes good development possible, in a developing device (14) of a contact development type using non-magnetic monocomponent toner and using a developing roller (25), by keeping low the driving torque produced by the developing roller (25). To achieve this the coefficient of surface dynamic friction µ of the developing roller 25 against the surface of a photosensitive drum 11 is arranged to satisfy the relationship 0.2 ≦ µ ≦ 2.5. Also, the apparent density (AD) of toner to be used satisfies the relationship 0.25 (g/cc) ≦ AD ≦ 0.55 (g/cc). As a result, there are portions on which no toner adheres at both ends of the developing roller (25). Even when the portions are brought into contact with the photosensitive drum 11, friction in the contact portion is not too large, and driving torque produced by the developing roller (25) may be low. Further, a toner thin layer formed on the developing roller (25) reaches uniformity, whereby good development is achieved.
