Abstract: A new top-loading transverse connector of the present invention for bridging between longitudinal members of a spinal fixation system implant. The transverse connector is loaded and clamped to the longitudinal member from the top permitting easy access and adjustment and may clamp at the same location along the rod as a vertebral fixation element. The transverse connector comprises an elongate body and an engagement portion on each opposing end of the elongate body. The engagement portion includes downward legs each with a surface to engage the longitudinal member. The downward legs are displaced from each other to define a space therebetween. The engagement portion includes an upper surface defining an opening therethrough. The opening intersects the space defined between the downward legs. Together, the space and opening are configured to receive the clamp assembly carried on the longitudinal member. Another object of the invention, is to provide an improved system including the transverse connector. Another object of the invention is to provide a transverse connector that clamps to the longitudinal member at a variable angle. Another object of the invention is to provide a separate engagement portion which can be used with existing transverse connectors to permit clamping at the same site as vertebral fixation elements. Another object of the invention is to provide a way to adjust the length of the elongate body of the transverse connector.

Abstract: A multiprocessor system includes a number of sub-processor systems, each substantially identically constructed, and each comprising a central processing unit (CPU), and at least one I/O device, interconnected by routing apparatus that also interconnects the sub-processor systems. A CPU of any one of the sub-processor systems may communicate, through the routing elements, with any I/O device of the system, or with any CPU of the system. 
     Communications between I/O devices and CPUs is by packetized messages. Interrupts from I/O devices are communicated from the I/O devices to the CPUs (or from one CPU to another CPU) as message packets. 
     CPUs and I/O devices may write to, or read from, memory of a CPU of the system. Memory protection is provided by an access validation method maintained by each CPU in which CPUs and/or I/O devices are provided with a validation to read/write memory of that CPU, without which memory access is denied.

Abstract: A printer which enables a complicated printhead controls without complicated logic circuit. In this printer, a data table showing a control pattern of six control signals (COM11, COM12, COM21, COM22, UPPER ENABLE and LOWER ENABLE) is stored in RAM 74. When a drive trigger is inputted into read-trigger generator 71, address generator 72 generates the address of the data table in the RAM 74 as address signal AD1 and inputs the address signal into the RAM 74. On the other hand, read-trigger generator 71 inputs a data-read trigger into RAM 74. Control signals read by these signals are inputted into head driver 75 with heat pulses, which drives the printhead.

Abstract: A method facilitates transfer of control from normal emulation in an
emulation system to an asynchronous signal handler in the emulation
system. A branch-target register is globally allocated with an address used
to transfer control to the asynchronous signal handler. A predicate register
is globally allocated to serve as a Boolean flag. Within each of a plurality of
blocks of code within the emulation system there is placed a transfer of
control operation. The transfer of control operation uses as a predicate the
globally allocated predicate register. The transfer of control operation
branches to an address stored in the globally allocated branch-target
register. Where allowed in the architecture, a prefetch hint for the transfer
of control operation can indicate the control operation is not to be prefetched.
The control operation is placed in the block of code a point at which state
may be recovered, generally at the end of the block of code.

Abstract: A circuit and method is provided for implementing a
content addressable memory circuit (100) in which an output
word is produced which corresponds to the content of a
reference word containing an ATM header. According to a first
aspect, a binary search logic circuit (104) binarily searches the
memory array (101) to find a match word whose content is
equal to that of the reference word. Output signals indicate
either that a match has been found or that the binary searching
of the memory array (101) should continue at addresses either
above or below the location address of the match word.
According to a second aspect, the content addressable memory
circuit (100) performs a concurrent search of switching
identifiers, virtual circuit identifiers and virtual path
identifiers, to determine if a virtual path connection or virtual
circuit connection exists for an ATM header.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un moteur rotatif à palettes à stator (1) cylindrique (de section droite circulaire) dont le rotor à plusieurs lobes (2) a le même axe que le cylindre. Le rotor est claveté sur un axe (3) reposant sur la plaque de base (11) par l'intermédiaire de paliers (14). Les extrémités (17, 18) des lobes du rotor assurent une étanchéité suffisante de la chambre de combustion pour permettre une combustion (pratiquement) constante. Ladite chambre est logée dans la paroi du stator et le carburant y est injecté par une buse (8). Les quatre volumes nécessaires au processus thermodynamique, c.-à-d. l'admission (21), la compression (13), la détente (20) et l'échappement (19) sont constitués des deux cavités comprises entre la surface intérieure du stator et la surface extérieure du rotor, avec l'assistance de trois palettes. La première palette (9), qui sépare les volumes d'admission-échappement, est en contact continu avec la surface du rotor. Les deux autres palettes sont placées très prés de la chambre de combustion, l'une frontale (7), et l'autre (6) arrière (dans le sens de rotation du rotor). La palette arrière est initialement en contact avec la surface du rotor, alors que la frontale est en retrait. Lorsque les pressions dans les volumes de compression et de détente s'égalisent à peu près, les deux palettes inversent leur position, la frontale s'abaissant et l'arrière se retirant. Cette inversion entraîne le mélange d'une partie des gaz d'échappement avec l'air, assurant ainsi un préchauffage de l'air par régénération.

Abstract: The invention aims at recognition of a handwritten input
character on-line with quite high accuracy. The method of
on-line handwritten input character recognition of the
invention is characterized in that ordinary strokes and
transition strokes and/or s-e strokes of a handwritten input
character sampled on-line are compared with ordinary strokes
and transition strokes and/or s-e strokes of dictionary's
characters previously registered in a dictionary and the
character corresponding to the handwritten input character is
recognized on the basis of the result of the comparison.
Otherwise, when the dictionary's character most similar to the
input character corresponds to a preset character, the
handwritten input character is identified by using
characteristic features of the corresponding character. Thus,
by comparing ordinary strokes and transition strokes and/or
s-e strokes of a handwritten input character sampled on-line
with ordinary strokes and transition strokes and/or s-e strokes
of dictionary's characters previously registered in a
dictionary and recognizing the character corresponding to the
handwritten input character on the basis of the result of the
comparison, a handwritten input character which was difficult
to recognize only by means of ordinary strokes can be recognized
with high accuracy.

not allow electrolytic corrosion to occur. In this
way, almost no deterioration of the members may take
place due to electrolytic corrosion caused by liquid to
be used and the liquid supply source as well, hence
implementing the enhancement of durability of the
movable members and the performance of the stabilized
