Abstract: Abstract Method for generating an alarm indication signal (AIS) In centrally controlled standby power switching systems,  the centres  are only informed about a reception of AIS signals or the detection of defects in the digital signal by digital signal distributors but not by other link devices. Since the digital signal distributors cannot detect the point at which an AIS signal had been fed in, identical messages are given several times under certain circumstances without allowing the centre to detect whether there are one or more fault locations along the link. A modified AIS signal is introduced which consists of the familiar standardized AIS signal in the form of an all-ones signal and of an identification. These are either equidistantly inserted individual zeros with a frequency of less than 10-3 or is an additional signal. If a digital signal distributor (8) receives a standardized AIS signal or detects any other defect,  it feeds a modified AIS signal into the outgoing link (15). The modification is only detected by  the  subsequent  digital  signal distributors (9, 10, 11, 12) which, in turn, again feed-in such a one and omit a message to a regional centre (3, 4). On the basis of the message of the digital signal distributor (8), the power system management centre 1 switches a standby link (16). The invention is applied in centrally controlled standby power switching systems.    Figure

Abstract: METHOD AND MEANS FOR INTERFACING A SYSTEM CONTROL UNIT FOR A MULTI-PROCESSOR         SYSTEM WITH THE SYSTEM MAIN MEMORY                       Abstract In a multi-processing computer system including a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) and input/output (I/O) units, a system memory including a plurality of independently accessible DRAM-based memory units, and a system control unit (SCU) for operating the CPUs in a parallel fashion and allowing the CPUs and other system units to controllably access addressable segments of memory, dedicated interface means are provided for regulating the transfer of memory commands and associated data between the SCU and the various addressable segments comprising the main memory.  The interfacing action is provided by accepting memory commands from the appropriate logic portion of the SCU, processing the commands to determine the availability of addressed memory segments, relaying executable memory commands, at synchronized intervals, to the segments of memory which need to be accessed, and transferring data, in the appropriate direction, as required by the memory commands.  The dedicated interface is based on a modular macrocell-based array control unit (ACU) which processes memory commands from the system processors and other units by regulating timed addressing of valid memory segments and bi-directional on-the-fly data transfer to and from addressed segments in main memory under the control of command signals passing to and from the ACU.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A  low  cost,  multipurpose digital  integrated circuit  (IC)  is  used  as  the  basic  building  block  in establishing a network communication system over a desired communication link.   The digital  IC can function as an addressable microcomputer interface between the network line and a remotely located microcomputer which may, for example,  comprise  any  microprocessor  based  controlled product.   In such mode, the digital IC's function is to take data from the network and pass it on to the remotely located  microcomputer  upon  command  from  the  central controller and to transmit data from the microcomputer to the central controller.  The digital IC may also function as a nonaddressable microcomputer interface between the central or master controller and the network line.  In such case the digital IC's function is to continuously take data from the central controller and place it on the network and take data from the network and pass it back to the central controller.   The  digital  IC  may  also  function  as  an addressable load controller associated with an individual remote controlled device and responding to shed or restore load commands from the central controller over the network line.  When so used the digital IC may also be commanded to transmit a reply message back to the central controller giving information  as to the status  of the  controlled device, thus enabling the central controller to monitor a large number of remotely located controllable devices.
