Abstract: A method and system for enhanced performance multithread operation in a data processing system which includes a processor, a main memory store and at least two levels of cache memory. At least one instruction within an initial thread is executed. Thereafter, the state of the processor at a selected point within the first thread is stored, execution of the first thread is terminated and a second thread is selected for execution only in response to a level two or higher cache miss, thereby minimizing processor delays due to memory latency. The validity state of each thread is preferably maintained in order to minimize the likelihood of returning to a prior thread for execution before the cache miss has been corrected. A least recently executed thread is preferably selected for execution in the event of a nonvalidity indication in association with all remaining threads, in anticipation of a change to the valid status of that thread prior to all other threads. A thread switch bit may also be utilized to selectively inhibit thread switching where execution of a particular thread is deemed necessary.

Abstract: Composite materials formed from bone bioactive glass or ceramic fibers and structural fibers are disclosed. In preferred embodiments, a braid or mesh of interwoven bone bioactive glass or ceramic fibers and structural fibers is impregnated with a polymeric material to provide a composite of suitable biocompatibility and structural integrity. Most preferably, the mesh or braid is designed so that the bioactive fibers are concentrated at the surface of the implant to create a surface comprised of at least 30% bioactive material, thereby providing enhanced bone ingrowth. The interweaving between the bone bioactive glass or ceramic fibers and the core of structural fibers overcomes the problems found in prior composite systems where the bioactive material delaminates from the polymer. Preferred bioactive materials include calcium phosphate ceramics and preferred structural fibers include carbon fibers. Improved prosthetic implants and methods of affixing an implant are thus also disclosed.

Abstract: The connector comprises a female element (12), a male element (14) and a body (16). 
     The female element, made of conductive metal sheet or pipe, has a portion formed by fingers (21) having a certain degree of elasticity, which are normally spread apart when no external forces are applied. The fingers have retaining teeth (28) extending inwards. The male element has a shoulder surface (38) for engagement by the teeth of the female element. One element, male or female, holds the plug, and the other element, female or male, holds the socket. 
     The body has a housing for the female element, comprising first and second communicating chambers, the first chamber housing the female element in a spread apart condition, and the second chamber housing the female element in a narrow, forced condition. Insertion of the male element with the shoulder surface thereof beyond the retaining teeth automatically locks the male element and the female element in a connected or wired position. Disconnection or release may only be carried out by sliding the body along the female element so that the latter occupies the widened chamber and can spread apart therein, disengaging the teeth from the shoulder surface of the male element which can therefore be extracted.
