Abstract: A constructing method of a finite state machine with failure
transitions FFM is disclosed. The machine FFM is constructed
from a nondeterministic finite-state machine and a string of
external inputs. States <p,q> in the machine FFM is formed of
a state set q included in the nondeterministic finite-state
machine and a set p defined as a subset of the state set q,
and the number of states <p,q> is finite. Also, an external
input c takes the machine FFM from a current state s to a next
state g(s,c) and an output µ(s) is output from the next state
g(s,c) in cases where a value g(s,c) of a success function g
is defined, and an external input c takes the machine FFM from
the current state s to a state g(f(f···f(s)···)) determined by
repeatedly calculating a value f(s) of a failure function f
until a value g(f(f···f(s)···)) defined is found out in cases
where the value g(s,c) of the success function g is not
defined. Because all of transitions from the current state s
for all external inputs c are not defined by the success
function g, a storage capacity for storing the machine FFM is
considerably reduced.

Abstract: A mounting apparatus adapted to be disposed within a channel (22) formed in an
outer body surface of a vehicle, wherein the channel (22) includes a permanently disposed
hook portion (24), for securing a slat (16) to the hook portion (24) without the use of conventional
riv-nut fasteners and without requiring holes to be drilled in the outer body surface.
The apparatus comprises a mounting bracket (28) having a base portion (30) and a pair of
offset arm portions (32). The base portion (30) is adapted to slide under a lip of the
permanently secured hook portion (24) so as to be disposed substantially completely
within the channel (22) formed in the outer body surface of a vehicle. The arm portions (32)
include threaded openings (40) which allow conventional fastening elements to be used
to secure the slat (16) to the mounting bracket (28). The mounting bracket (28) can be used with
or without a conventional resilient mounting pad. Since the mounting bracket (28) does
not require the drilling of any holes in the outer body surface, the risk of water
entering into the interior area of the vehicle is significantly reduced. Furthermore, the
securing of the slats (16) to the outer body surfaces is significantly simplified since no
holes must be marked and drilled in the outer body surface for attachment of the slats (16)
thereto.

Abstract: Improved operation of multi-processor chips is achieved by dynamically
controlling processing load of chips and controlling, significantly greater than on/off
granularity, the operating voltages of those chips so as to minimize overall power
consumption. A controller in a multi-processor chip allocates tasks to the individual
processors to equalize processing load among the chips, then the controller lowers the
clock frequency on the chip to as low a level as possible while assuring proper
operation, and finally reduces the supply voltage. Further improvement is possible by
controlling the supply voltage of individual processing elements within the multi-processor
chip, as well as controlling the supply voltage of other elements in the system
within which the multi-processor chip operates.

Abstract: Information carrier (1) comprising a pattern of substantially parallel tracks, in which a track comprises a number of sectors (5), which comprise an address-information area (18) and an accompanying data area (21). The address information areas (18), the so-called headers, are aligned with the data areas (21). These headers are composed of at least one address information field (19) and at least one synchronization field (20), in which the address information areas in adjacent tracks overlap each other. The address information fields (19) in adjacent tracks are positioned free of overlap relative to each other while adjacent synchronization fields (20) overlap address information fields. In this way a compact header is realized. The invention is further related to an apparatus for reading the information carrier (1). Using a synchronization or a lock-in signal (31) resulting from the reading of the synchronization fields (20), the length of the synchronization fields is detected enabling a reliable read-out of the address information fields.
