Patent EP-0378332-A3 (EP)
Title: Semiconductor memory device with redundancy circuits
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1990-01-08
Abstract: According to the invention, if there is a defective 
column among the memory cell columns in the memory cell 
array, all bit lines sharing the same I/O data lines as 
such a column are separated from the I/O data line 
regardless of the column address, and instead a group of 
spare bit lines disposed corresponding to each column 
address and selected according to the column addresses 
is electrically connected to the I/O data line.  
     In this structure, the bit lines are disposed by 
dividing into corresponding I/O data line, and if there 
are defects extending in two or more rows, as far as 
they are within a block of same I/O data line, all 
defective memory cells can be replaced by the memory 
cells in the spare column. Therefore, while minimizing 
the increase of chip area and lowering of operating 
speed in the multiple-bit organized memories, a 
redundancy circuit of high defect repair efficiency 
may be realized.
Patent EP-0388035-A3 (EP)
IPC: B60T8/42
Filed: 1990-02-23
Abstract: A brake control apparatus is described that 
maximizes the braking efficiency of an under-damped 
actuator, such as a motor-driven linear screw (14). 
When an incipient lock condition is detected, the 
apparatus determines the optimal brake pressure, 
relieves brake pressure and measures the duration of 
the pressure release. When the wheel is approaching 
recovery, but has not yet substantially recovered, 
the apparatus holds brake pressure constant at a 
value calculated to represent the amount of pressure 
remaining at the wheel brake. This calculated hold 
value is based upon the measured optimal pressure and 
the measured release duration, and allows the wheel 
to continue to reaccelerate towards recovery while 
preventing unnecessary pressure relief. Once the 
wheel recovers, the apparatus reapplies brake 
pressure to a substantial fraction of the optimal 
pressure without over-exciting the actuator and 
over-shooting the desired pressure.

Title: Method and apparatus for coordinating the use of physical registers in a microprocessor
Inventor: TOVEY DEFOREST W
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 1996-02-08
Abstract: In a microprocessor, an apparatus is included for coordinating the use of physical registers in the microprocessor. Upon receiving an instruction, the coordination apparatus extracts source and destination logical registers from the instruction. For the destination logical register, the apparatus assigns a physical address to correspond to the logical register. In so doing, the apparatus stores the former relationship between the logical register and another physical register. Storing this former relationship allows the apparatus to backstep to a particular instruction when an execution exception is encountered. Also, the apparatus checks the instruction to determine whether it is a speculative branch instruction. If so, then the apparatus creates a checkpoint by storing selected state information. This checkpoint provides a reference point to which the processor may later backup if it is determined that a speculated branch was incorrectly predicted. Overall, the apparatus coordinates the use of physical registers in the processor in such a way that: (1) logical/physical register relationships are easily changeable; and (2) backup and backstep procedures are accommodated. <IMAGE>

Inventor: BISHOP ALAN G
IPC: G06F12/02
Filed: 1996-09-02
Abstract: A distributed object oriented computer system that has two classes of object
references: strong references and weak references. Weak references (or
pointers) allow users to refer to an object, but does not prevent the object
manager from deleting the object. A weak object reference can be converted
into a strong object reference by execution of a "MakeStrong" operation,
which generates a strong reference, and then deleting the weak reference. A
strong object reference can be converted into a weak object reference by
execution of a "MakeWeak" operation, which returns a weak reference to the
object referred to in the operation's argument, and then deleting the strong
reference. When an object no longer has any outstanding strong object
references, deletion of the object is enabled. In another aspect of the
invention, a portion of the computer's memory is set aside for a primary linker
cache and a secondary linker image cache. Linker images, generated while
loading programs for execution, are stored in the primary and secondary
linker caches. Each linker image in the primary linker cache has strong
object references to objects included in corresponding ones of the loaded
programs, and each linker image in the secondary linker cache has weak
object references to objects included in corresponding ones of the loaded
programs.
