Patent EP-0518573-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BISHOP DAVID ADDY
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 1992-06-05
Abstract: A system resource monitor is provided to capture a data processing system's internal resource utilization, such as memory, CPU, or peripheral device availability/utilization. The captured 'state' of the data processing system's resources is maintained in real-time, while the impact on the system's performance in providing such information is kept to a minimum. This is accomplished through a combination of various techniques, including specialized device drivers for the respective devices coupled with a unique data reduction technique. Such techniques include filtering only events which are of interest and combining similarly related events to reduce data processing requirements. This real-time support provides an immediate and accurate representation of the internal operations of the data processing system. Further, these resources can monitored at the process level of a multiprocessing system. This captured data can be used by an application or control program to identify, isolate, and fine-tune the data processing system's resources to improve the overall efficiency of the system being monitored.

Abstract: An improved RF chain for use in atomic beam frequency standard systems is disclosed. The improved chain utilizes two oscillators (50,60), a high-frequency oscillator (60) and a low-frequency oscillator (50), to avoid phase drift problems normally encountered in prior art systems. The use of the high-frequency oscillator reduces the degree of multiplication (68) needed to generate the microwave signal used by the atomic beam tube. The improved chain also provides improved signal isolation for the frequency standard. In addition, the improved chain provides a means for generating variable output frequencies.

Abstract: A float for a liquid level operated device has a shape which has one flat surface 36 which, when the float is in its lowermost position, will be horizontal (ie parallel to the liquid surface). The float has a centre of buoyancy close to one edge of this face, and when the float is in its uppermost position the flat face will be generally vertical, with the edge of the face to which the centre of buoyancy is closest being at the top. Because this edge is close to the centre of buoyancy, only a small height of the float will project above the liquid level.

Abstract: An electronic imaging system is provided that records both motion and still video images. In a motion mode of operation, the electronic imaging system records NTSC resolution images at a standard thirty frame per second rate. In a still mode of operation, the electronic imaging system records megapixel resolution still images at a much lower frame rate. The electronic imaging system utilizes an electronic image sensor that incorporates column selective "charge clearing" structures and column selective "charge parking" structures. The charge clearing structures are used to selectively discard the signal charge from certain color pixels. The charge parking structures are used to sum the charge from multiple vertical pixels. The architecture of the electronic image sensor also allows different image aspect ratios to be provided for the motion and still modes described above.
