Abstract: A processor for a SPARC based RISC computer includes a register file 14 having a pair of read ports and a write port, and an instruction register 18 for holding an instruction including addresses RS1, RS2, RD of registers to be read and written to. Normally, RS1 and RS2 point to operand registers and RD points to a register to receive the result. However in a (two-cycle) store instruction, RS1 and RS2 point to registers to be added 28 to address a memory 30 and RD points to a register to be read into memory 30. In the first cycle of the store instruction the address is calculated, and RD is buffered at 32, 32 feeds a read port of register file 14 via a multiplexer 27 during the second cycle. If (as is often the case) the next instruction is of RI type, it can use instruction register 18 during the second cycle. <IMAGE>

Title: Racetrack surface composition
Inventor: BEARDEN CHARLES R
IPC: E01C13/06
Filed: 1990-12-24
Abstract: A racetrack surface composition includes a synthetic polymer component, a hydrocarbon oil fluid between 40 DEG -100 DEG F (4 DEG -38 DEG C), and a particulate material such as sand. The synthetic polymer component is preferably either an elastomer, or an elastomer in combination with non-elastomeric polymer; or alternatively a mixture of oil soluble and oil dispersible polymers which together with the oil form a binder for the particulate material.

The composition is not adversely affected by wet weather.
Patent GB-2239936-A (GB)
Title: Fuel control valve construction
Inventor: KELLY SAMUEL T
IPC: F23N1/00
Filed: 1991-02-01
Abstract: In a fuel control valve construction a manually operable actuator (40) comprises an operating arm (44) which is pivoted to a housing (21) and which is guided in a substantially straight slot (141) in moving between "off" and "on" positions, and also in moving to a "pilot" position beyond the "on" position when a pilot valve (32) and pilot outlet (83) is included. The actuator (40) has a cam (41) for engaging a cam follower (43) on the lever (33) intermediate opposite ends thereof. In the 'off' position of the actuator (40), the cam (41) holds the lever (33) in an "off" position, in which a main valve member (28) is maintained in its closed condition. In the "on" position of this actuator (40) the cam (41) permits the lever (33) to move under the force of a bias spring (37) to its "on" position, thus allowing the main valve to open. The position of the lever (33) may also be determined by a thermostatically controlled actuator (70, 107) which, in one operative condition, prevents the lever (33) from moving to its "on" pivoted position and thereby prevents opening of the main valve even although the manually operable actuator (40) is in its "on" position. <IMAGE>
