Abstract: Software rejuvenation techniques which improve reliability of a software system by stopping execution of the system and restarting the execution with "clean" state. The rejuvenation techniques are generally available to applications executing in a computer system. The techniques are implemented using a daemon process which observes applications registered with it and restarts them if they crash or hang and a process like the cron process of the UNIX operating system. The daemon process responds to a rejuvenation specification which indicates that an application which is registered with it be rejuvenated by making a script for the cron process which specifies that the application's process be killed. When the cron process executes the script and kills the application, the daemon process observes that the application is dead and restarts it. In restarting the application, the daemon process may use state previously saved by the application for that purpose. The specification further contains parameters for the time at which the rejuvenation is to be performed (or the period between rejuvenations), for the manner in which the application is to be rejuvenated, and for operations to be performed when the application is killed.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des protéines à doigts de zinc (RIZ) de mammifères, réagissant avec la protéine Rb de rétinoblastomes, des molécules d'acides nucléiques codant pour les RIZ et des anticorps spécifiques des RIZ. L'invention concerne également des examens de criblage permettant d'identifier un agent qui modifie effectivement l'association d'une RIZ avec une seconde molécule et capable de se fixer à la RIZ. L'invention concerne également des fragments actifs de RIZ contenant le domaine PR, qui peut réguler la transcription. En plus, l'invention fournit des procédés pour introduire une molécule d'acide nucléique codant une RIZ dans une cellule et pour mettre une cellule en contact avec un agent efficace pour moduler une fonction de la cellule. De tels procédés sont utiles, par exemple, pour induire la croissance d'une cellule cardiaque ou d'un neurone chez un sujet, et pour induire une régulation de croissance normale dans une cellule tumorale ou provoquer une différentiation de ces cellules. L'invention concerne en outre des procédés pour détecter une RIZ dans un échantillon, consistant à détecter soit la RIZ elle-même, soit une molécule d'acide nucléique codant la RIZ. De tels procédés sont utiles pour diagnostiquer une pathologie caractérisée par une augmentation ou une diminution du niveau d'une RIZ dans une cellule ou par l'expression d'une RIZ mutante dans une cellule.

Abstract: When a user touches a tablet with a pen, a coordinate pointed with a nib of a pen and a tool force on this coordinate are detected, and a cursor is displayed at a position corresponding to the coordinate in a display device. Furthermore, the shape, color and size, etc., of the cursor can be varied according to a change in coordinate, tool force. This permits the user to recognize a level of the tool force which he actually applies at a glance. Additionally, an operational mode is switched according to an amount of change in detected coordinate and the tool force. As a result, the user is permitted to control an operational mode of the document processing device with ease only by a pen operation, thereby improving an operability.

Abstract: An engine (18) delivers torque to a transmission drive shaft (12) through a flywheel (14) and a damper (16). The damper (16) includes a drive plate (30) attached to the flywheel (14) which is in turn mounted on the engine crankshaft (10). The damper (16) has two driven plates (32, 34) which are fixed on the transmission drive shaft (12). The drive plate (30) and driven plates (32, 34) have openings (48, 52, 54) for retaining springs (36, 36') through which torque is transmitted from the drive plate (30) to the driven plates (32, 34). The flywheel (14) has a plurality of arcuate segments (24) equally spaced apart around a peripheral edge to form a plurality of windows (26). One of the driven plates (32) has a plurality of radially extending fingers (56) each extending into one of the windows (26) so that gaps (26a, 26b) exist between each finger (56) and two adjacent arcuate segments (24). As torque is transmitted through the damper (16) the springs (36, 36') are compressed and the fingers (56) move in the windows (26). A single sensor (58) senses the passage of the arcuate segments (24), gaps (26a, 26b) and fingers (56) and generates an output signal which is analyzed by a microcomputer (60) to produce indications of engine RPM and torque transmitted through the damper (16).

Abstract: An oscillator circuit (150) is designed with a reference circuit (102), responsive to a first voltage, for producing a second voltage. An oscillator (108), responsive to the second voltage, produces a first output signal having a magnitude less than a magnitude of the first voltage. A level translator (114), responsive to the first output signal, produces a second output signal having a magnitude greater than the magnitude of the first output signal. Since the oscillator produces the first output signal with a magnitude less than the magnitude of the first voltage, power consumption is reduced with respect to an oscillator operating at the first voltage. The magnitude of the first output signal is increased by the level translator to a desired magnitude of the second output signal.

Abstract: A test apparatus (1) has a temperature controlled chuck (8) which provides good mechanical stability across a wide temperature range. This significantly reduces the number of times the probes (9) must be re-positioned, and in some cases eliminates such re-positioning. The chuck (8) has a support plate (20) which is connected to a base plate (35) by pillars (40) which have a low thermal expansion coefficient. This limits thermal expansion between the support plate (20) and the base plate (35). In addition, the heat transfer means is mounted so that thermal expansion is accommodated internally.
