Abstract: A computer system includes a central processing unit (1), an
addressable main memory (2) storing data pages, and an associative
memory (5). The associative memory stores a plurality of entries when
access to a given page in main memory is sought. Each entry includes fields
respectively holding: 1) a high order virtual address component; 2) a real
page address; and 3) a multi-digit validity count. Then a comparator receives:
1) the high order virtual address component of the data page; 2) the high
order virtual address component read from the associative memory entry; 3)
the multi-digit validity count read from the associative memory entry; and 4)
the multi-digit current validity count in a multi-digit counter in the CPU. If there
is a full match, a switch issues the real page address read from the
associative memory entry. Else, a page table is consulted to obtain the real
address of the requested page, the associative memory being updated

Abstract: A safety circuit 31, which compulsorily closes an on-off valve for
supplying a gas to a burner when a microcomputer for performing a
combustion control is in an abnormal condition, does not operate unless
abnormality occurs to the microcomputer 1, and therefore even when the
safety circuit 31 is out of order, an ignition operation is performed as it is. A
transistor 4 is not turned off until a fixed time elapses from a start of an
ignition sequence in the safety circuit 31, but the fixed time is shortened by a
timer acceleration circuit 32, and if the transistor 4 is turned off by a transistor
2 being turned on, the safety circuit 31 is determined as normal, so that the
normal ignition sequence is executed thereafter.

Abstract: A product dispenser is provided that enables product to be released from an adhesive attachment and transition from the interior of the dispenser to the exterior of the dispenser using a single rotation motion. The dispenser comprises a product platform, product adhesively secured to a strip and a base. The product platform comprises an upper surface and a lower surface and an opening through the platform. The adhesive strip comprises two major surfaces, one of which is free of adhesive and one with adhesive located on at least a portion thereof. The base comprises an upper surface and a lower surface and an opening through the base. The adhesive strip is threaded through both the product platform opening and the base opening and one end of the strip is attached to the lower surface of the base. The product platform and the base are fitted together so as to be rotatable with respect to each other about a common axis, with the lower surface of the product platform facing the upper surface of the base. The adhesive strip is positioned so that the nonadhesive surface of the strip is in contact with the upper surface of the product platform. Product, such as zinc air cells, are adhesively attached to the adhesive surface of the strip. In the case of zinc air cells, the adhesive strip functions as a tab until the cells are ready to be detabbed for activation and use. Rotation of either the base or the product platform so as to create relative motion between the two structures will cause the product to advance toward the opening in the product platform as the adhesive strip moves through the opening in the product platform. Product is separated from the adhesive strip as the strip moves through the product platform opening. Continued rotation advances the released product from the interior of the dispenser to the exterior of the dispenser.
