Patent EP-1202287-A3 (EP)
Inventor: KAXIRAS STEFANOS
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 2001-10-25
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing leakage power in a
cache memory. A cache decay technique is employed for both data and instruction
caches that removes power from cache lines that have not been accessed for a
predefined time interval, referred to as the decay interval. The cache-line granularity
of the present invention permits a significant reduction in leakage power while at the
same time preserving much of the performance of the cache. The decay interval is
maintained using a timer that is reset each time the corresponding cache line is
accessed. The decay interval may be fixed or variable. Once the decay interval timer
exceeds a specified decay interval, power to the cache line is removed. Once power to
the cache line is removed, the contents of the data and tag fields are allowed to decay
and the valid bit associated with the cache line is reset. When a cache line is later
accessed after being powered down by the present invention, a cache miss is incurred
while the cache line is again powered up and the data is obtained from the next level of
the memory hierarchy.

Abstract: An efficient and secure system and method for customers with mobile
terminals to pay bills for services rendered at a merchant's establishment. In an
exemplary embodiment, the merchant's establishment is a restaurant. The restaurant has
a server which uses short-range wireless technology to answer inquiries from customers.
The server also stores charges for each table, which are transmitted to and displayed on a
customer's mobile terminal when the customer requests a bill. A network-based server
receives approval from the mobile terminal to charge the user's credit card number for
services rendered by the merchant. The charges are then forwarded to, and validated by,
an appropriate credit card agency server. The network-based server provides both the
merchant and the user with payment confirmations. Payment information, however, such
as a credit card number, is not revealed to the merchant, thereby eliminating the
possibility of unauthorized use by an unscrupulous merchant or agent thereof.

pattern) and the line width (L/S pattern) toward decreasing the line width
difference among resist patterns when a resist pattern having patterns like an
isolated pattern and an L/S pattern that are different in pattern density.

Abstract: A server in a printing system acquires color space information for each of a
plurality of printing units, generates color conversion information according to the color
space information to standardize color representations for the printing units, and transmits
print data with the color conversion information attached, to each of the printing units.
This allows the printing units to produce printed materials of the same color
representation even if they are of different types and operated under different printing
conditions. This eliminates the need to do color proofing in the individual printing units,
thereby improving efficiency in production of printed materials.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pelletizer vessel (36) and a prilling head assembly (46) for use in
the pelletizer vessel for prilling a hard resid material. The pellitizer vessel
has an upright pelletizing vessel with an upper prilling zone, a sphere-forming
zone below the prilling zone, a cooling zone below the sphere-forming
zone, a bath (52) below the cooling zone, and a prilling head in the prilling zone
rotatable along a vertical axis and having a plurality of discharge orifices for
throwing molten material radially outwardly. A vertical height of the sphere-forming
zone is sufficient to allow material discharged from the prilling head to
form substantially spherical liquid pellets. Nozzles are provided for spraying
water inwardly into the cooling zone to cool and at least partially solidify the
liquid pellets to be collected in the bath. The prilling head assembly has a
feed inlet to allow for the introduction of resid material, rotary union with a fluid
tight seal, a rotatable pipe to convey a resid material to the prilling head, a
drive wheel to provide rotation to the rotatable pipe, a support housing having
a mount for attachment to the pellitizer vessel, and a prilling head with a flow
passage in fluid communication with the rotatable pipe and radially offset
orifices. Bearings are provided for stablizing and guiding the rotatable pipe.
Inert gas is introduced into the annular spaces of the support housing to
prohibit foreign matter.
