Patent EP-0359815-A4 (EP)
Title: Cache with at least two fill sizes
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1989-03-30
Abstract: Optimizing the performance of a cache memory system is disclosed. During operation of a computer system whose processor (120) is supported by virtual cache memory (100), the cache must be cleared and refilled to allow replacement of old data with more current data. The cache is filled with either P or N (N>P) blocks of data. Numerous methods for dynamically selecting N or P blocks of data are possible. For instance, immediately after the cache is flushed, the miss is refilled with N blocks, moving data to the cache at high speed. Once the cache is mostly full, the miss tends to be refiled with P blocks. This maintains the currency of the data in the cache, while simultaneously avoiding writing-over of data already in the cache. The invention is useful in a multi-user/multi-tasking system where the program being run changes frequently, necessitating flushing and clearing the cache frequently.

Abstract: On produit un whisker en oxyde de zinc à partir d'un monocristal, dont la forme consiste en une partie de noyau et des parties en forme d'aiguilles s'étendant depuis le noyau dans quatre directions mutuellement différentes, en chauffant et en oxydant la poudre de zinc possédant un film d'oxyde dans une atmosphère contenant de l'oxygène. L'atmosphère décrite peut contenir du dioxyde de carbone et de la vapeur. Comme four de cuisson on utilise un four pouvant former en continu une atmosphère présentant une pression partielle élevée de vapeur de zinc d'un côté d'évaporation de zinc et une atmosphère présentant une pression partielle élevée d'oxygène qui stimule la formation de whiskers, et la taille du whisker en oxyde de zinc peut être régulée par le rapport entre ces pressions partielles. Lorsqu'on l'utilise sous forme de matériaux structuraux variés et de composants électroniques, le whisker en oxyde de zinc ci-décrit ne présente pas d'anisotropie et, étant donné qu'il s'agit d'un macrocristal mesurant plusieurs centaines de microns, il permet d'amélioer de manière considérable la résistance mécanique de métaux, céramiques, résines synthétiques et similaires, lorsqu'on le mélange à ces matériaux.

Title: Simulcast scheduler
Inventor: FENNELL ROBERT DE WAYNE
IPC: H04B7/005
Filed: 1991-09-20
Abstract: A selective call terminal receives selective call information from a message originator. A transmission time is scheduled for the selective call message by a selective call system controller. A plurality of simulcast schedulers coupled to the controller receive and store the selective call message and the transmission time. The simulcast schedulers have an equalization time stored therein, the equalization times for each of the simulcast schedulers calculated by the system controller using simulcast receivers for measuring signal time differences between transmitters. The simulcast schedulers provide the selective call message to corresponding transmitters at a time to transmit the selective call message, the time determined by the transmission time and the equalization time. Transmitter settings and code types defining signalling protocol, data bit rate, carrier frequency and transmitter power, for each message are varied in accordance with information received from the system controller. Each simulcast scheduler can also function as a selective call terminal for a local selective call system.

Title: Continuous steel casting apparatus.
Inventor: MIURA TOSHIHIKO
IPC: B22D11/01
Filed: 1993-11-12
Abstract: A continuous steel casting apparatus which is usable for manufacturing a cast steel piece having excellent surface condition by hardening molten steel without bringing the same into contact with solid casting mold walls, and which has simple construction. A high-temperature lead chamber holding molten lead the temperature of which is higher than the solidifying point of steel and a low-temperature lead chamber holding molten lead the temperature of which is lower than the solidifying point of steel are connected to each other via a partition wall. The high-temperature molten lead and low-temperature molten lead are held in the respective chambers so that the liquid levels thereof exceed the upper end of the partition wall, and a communicating layer of the molten lead is formed on the upper side of the partition wall. Two parallel side weirs (side walls) are provided so as to extend between an upstream side of the partition wall and a downstream side thereof. When molten steel is fed continuously between the side weirs of the high-temperature molten lead chamber, it floats on the surface of the molten lead and spreads between the side weirs to flow above the partition wall into the low-temperature molten lead chamber, the molten steel then floating on the surface of the molten lead in the low-temperature molten lead chamber to be solidified and turn into a thin cast steel piece.

Title: Method for preparing a sample in a scan capillary for immunofluorescent interrogation
Inventor: DUBROW ROBERT S
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 1995-09-22
Abstract: An assay and sample mixture for the enumeration of fluorescently stained target components of a whole blood sample by an imaging instrument. The sample preparation method ensures that the amount of target components per unit of volume of the whole blood sample is preserved by elimination of certain non-quantitative preparation steps while producing an even hematocrit layer within a scan capillary. Typical target components include white blood cells that express certain surface antigens, such as CD-4 and CD-8 proteins. To inhibit aggregation of the red blood cells, a reagent is added to an aliquot of whole blood sample. The aliquot of whole blood is mixed and with a preselected amount of a fluorescent dye and ligand complex which tags the target components. The sample and fluorescent complex are allowed to incubate a sufficient amount of time to bind enough of the fluorescent complex to the target components to provide a fluorescent signal from the target components which will be distinguishable from the fluorescent signal from the unbound fluorescent complex in the sample. The resulting mixture allows the imaging instrument to detect peak intensities of fluorescence from the target components, thereby allowing the target components to be volumetrically enumerated with an improved level of accuracy and efficiency.

IPC: G10L15/24
Filed: 1997-01-28
Abstract: By simultaneously recording EM wave reflections and acoustic speech information, the positions and velocities of the speech organs as speech is articulated can be defined for each acoustic speech unit. Well defined time frames and feature vectors describing the speech, to the degree required, can be formed. Such feature vectors can uniquely characterize the speech unit being articulated each time frame. The onset of speech, rejection of external noise, vocalized pitch periods, articulator conditions, accurate timing, the identification of the speaker, acoustic speech unit recognition, and organ mechanical parameters can be determined.
