Abstract: A method and apparatus for anaerobic treatment of organic wastes in a liquid filled vessel wherein particles of the waste are buoyed and form a floating bed in the liquid by the gasses generated by the anaerobic digestion of the wastes. The bed forms to an upper stratum of the least digested, least dense waste and a lower stratum of the most digested, most dense waste. Liquid from beneath the bed is continuously sprayed over the upper surface of the bed through a series of discharge ports which expands to bed downwardly. Each spraying period is followed by a quiescent period to allow the bed to reform. Over time the floating bed is moved from an inlet end to an outlet end of the vessel where the most digested waste is removed.

Abstract: One embodiment involves having a processor write a data transfer command to cacheable system memory. The processor then performs a write transaction to a deliver a "packet" command to an optical storage device. The optical storage device responds to the packet command by issuing an interrupt once the optical storage device has processed the packet command. The issuance of the interrupt indicates that the optical storage device is ready to receive a data transfer command. A host controller that is coupled to the optical storage device via a serial interconnect receives the interrupt. The host controller then causes a DMA transfer to occur which reads the data transfer command located in system memory and delivers the data transfer command to the optical storage device. The processor is not involved in servicing the interrupt and is therefore freed up to perform other tasks and overall system performance is improved.
