Title: Method and apparatus for pre-emptively arbitrating on an acyclic directed graph
Inventor: OPRESCU FLORIN
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 1993-12-16
Granted: 2005-07-26
Abstract: A bus arbitration scheme is implemented in a system where an arbitrary assembly of nodes on a system bus have been resolved into an acyclic directed graph. The hierarchical arrangement of nodes has one node designated a root while all other nodes have established parent-child relationships with the nodes to which they are linked.      Each node may have a plurality of connected child ports with a predetermined acknowledgment priority scheme established. Fair bus access arbitration provides for bus granting in a sequence corresponding to the predetermined port priorities allowing all nodes a turn on the bus. The root node may always assert its priority access status to gain bus access which is useful for accommodating a root node which requires isochronous data transfer.      Alternatively, a token passing arbitration scheme may be implemented where the token for bus access is passed around the nodes according to the above-described predetermined port priority scheme. Preemptive bus initialization may be triggered by any node upon detection of a necessitating error or addition or removal of a connection to an existing node.

Abstract: A system and method is disclosed for making incisions in the sclera (102) of an eye (100) to form a scleral pocket (120) to receive a scleral prosthesis (200). The system and method comprises a surgical tool (1100) comprising a surgical blade (1140) for making incisions in the sclera (102) of an eye (100). When a surgeon places the surgical blade (1140) on the sclera (102) of the eye (100) a pressure sensor (2560) in the surgical tool (1100) determines whether there is sufficient pressure between the surgical tool (1100) and the sclera (102) of the eye (300) for the surgical tool (1100) to operate properly. The surgeon activates the surgical tool (1100) to cause the surgical blade (1140) to advance through the sclera (102) to form an incision having dimensions to receive a scleral prosthesis (200). When the incision is complete the surgical blade (1140) is rotated back out of the incision. The incision has the exact dimensions to receive a scleral prosthesis (200).
