Title: Method and system for preserving message order when parallel processing messages
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-12-12
Abstract: A method and system for preserving message order when parallel processing messages by: providing a marker (H) in each message (M) for identifying a source of messages for which it is required to preserve the message order; and dispatching (D) each message in accordance with its marker to one of a plurality of parallel processors (P 1 -P 3 ) so that processing is preserved for messages processed through the plurality of parallel processors. The dispatcher (D) retains a list of all markers of messages that are being processed in parallel, and when a message becomes available to the dispatcher for processing, the dispatcher inspects the list of messages that are currently being processed to determine whether the marker of this message is in the list, and if so delays initiating parallel processing for this message until the marker is no longer in the list. This technique allows a stream of messages originating from multiple sources to be processed with the advantages of parallel processing, while preserving the order of a subset of these messages.

Title: Improvements in & relating to method of testing integrated circuits
IPC: G01R31/3185
Filed: 1988-07-21
Abstract: To test an integrated circuit such as in Fig 1 wherein there are different paths with different delays between input test registers R1, R2 and output test registers R3, the different delays preventing exhaustive test patterns from being applied to internal embedded combinational blocks Ca, Cb, the serial path of shift registers has additional registers Ds(Fig 2) to resynchronise the test patterns for the logic blocks. Alternatively, the serial path is considered to have imaginary delays present and non-contiguous inputs to the logic blocks are stimulated by exhaustive test patterns provided by a special algorithm viz a polynomial functionally dependent on the difference in the delays along the signal paths. The technique may be used with interleaved test registers. <IMAGE>

Title: A method and apparatus for processing electrical signals
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 1990-02-21
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for processing electrical signals corresponding to acoustic emissions produced in a machine or process comprises a transducer (12) acoustically coupled to the machine or process, which detects the acoustic emissions and converts them into an output signal. The output signal is amplified by an amplifier (14), rectified and enveloped by an enveloper (16) having a short time constant to produce an electrical signal. An enveloper (18), having a long time constant, measures the mean level of the electrical signal. A DC component remover (20) removes the DC component from the electrical signal and an enveloper (22), having a long time constant, measures the mean level of the rectified AC component of the electrical signal. A processor (24), having a low sampling rate, measures a power of the ratio between the mean level of the rectified AC component of the electrical signal and the mean level of the electrical signal. The apparatus is self compensating for variations in the machine operating condition or transducer sensitivity and is relatively cheap to manufacture. <IMAGE>

Date Apr. 29, 1993Methods of reducing cystine containing animal and plant proteins, and improving dough and baked goods' characteristics is provided which includes the steps of mixing dough ingredients with a thiol redox protein to form a dough and baking the dough to form a baked good. The method of the present invention preferably uses reduced thioredoxin with wheat flour which imparts a stronger dough and higher loaf volumes. Methods for reducing snake, bee and scorpion toxin proteins with a thiol redox (SH) agent and thereby inactivating the protein or detoxifying the protein in an individual are also provided. Protease inhibitors, including the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk trypsin inhibitors of soybean, were also reduced by the NADP/thioredoxin system (NADPH, thioredoxin, and NADP-thioredoxin reductase). When reduced by thioredoxin, the Kunitz and Bowman-Birk soybean trypsin inhibitors lose their ability to inhibit trypsin. Moreover, the reduced form of the inhibitors showed increased susceptibility to heat and proteolysis by either subtilisin or a protease preparation from germinating wheat seeds. The 2S albumin of castor seed endosperm was reduced by thioredoxin. Thioredoxin was reduced by either NADPH and NADP-thioredoxin reductase or dithiothreitol. Analyses showed that thioredoxin actively reduced the intramolecular disulfides of the 2S large subunit, but was ineffective in reducing the intermolecular disulfides that connect the large to the small subunit. A novel cystine containing protein that inhibits pullulanase was isolated; thioredoxin reduction of this protein destroyed or greatly reduced its inhibitory activity.
