Title: Optional refresh
Inventor: CHESLEY GILMAN
IPC: G11C11/406
Filed: 1992-11-12
Abstract: The present invention operates within a data processing system which utilizes dynamic memory requiring periodic refreshment. The data processing system includes a processor coupled to a memory controller which is in turn coupled to the dynamic memory. The memory controller includes a memory operation command queue for sequentially receiving memory operation commands from the processor and a refresh module for initiating refresh operations. The refresh module includes circuitry for initiating either a mandatory refresh operation or an optional refresh operation. Mandatory refresh operations are initiated at the conclusion of periodic intervals, unless an optional refresh operation has been initiated within the particular interval. An optional refresh operation is initiated within a particular interval if the memory operation command queue is empty. Optional refresh operations thereby serve to substitute for mandatory refresh operations, minimizing the system time lost to refresh operations.

Abstract: A developer replenishing device for replenishing a developing device with a developer, and a developer container for use therewith. The developer container, or toner bottle, has a mouth portion at one end thereof which is smaller in diameter than a hollow cylindrical main body. At the end of the bottle provided with the mouth, a shoulder has the inner periphery thereof partly raised to the edge of the mouth portion to form a raised portion for scooping up a toner. In addition, a part of the inner periphery of the circumferential wall of the bottle which is contiguous with the raised portion is also raised toward the axis of the bottle about which the bottle is rotatable, thereby forming another raised portion. When the bottle is mounted to a bottle holder, which is included in the replenishing device, substantially horizontally with the mouth portion oriented sideways, the bottle is rotated to raise the toner from the bottom of the main body to the mouth portion. As a result, the toner is discharged to the outside via the mouth portion smoothly.

Abstract: This invention relates to arrangements for simplifying the transfer of a source of telecommunications signals, such as a telecommunications customer line (3) or telecommunications trunk, from a first port (23) of a switching system (21) to a second port (24) of that switching system. Such a transfer requires a transfer of a connection in the outside plant, usually in a manhole (10), and establishment of a connection from there to the second port, usually in a distributing frame (22) of the switching system. Translation data is stored (41) for the second port to indicate availability of the second port for assignment to a customer, and, in one embodiment of the invention, to identify the customer (42) to be connected to that second port. The customer line (12) to the first port (23) is tested in the manhole (10) to verify the identity of that customer; the line (15) to the second port (24) is tested to see if the translation data for that second port comprises the same customer identification. If so, a request to assign the translation data for that customer to the second port is then transmitted from the manhole. In response to an acknowledgment that the translation data has been so assigned, the customer's line is transferred to the second port. Advantageously, the translation data can be stored and a connection to the second port can be established ahead of time in the switching system, and the transfer of the line can be carried out by one individual in the manhole without requiring the cooperation of other craft in the switching system.

Abstract: A system and method for generating a variably scaled digital image. A second digital image containing a second plurality of pels is generated from first digital image containing a first plurality of pels. The first digital image may be stored in an image buffer. Each of the first plurality of pels is input serially into a process whereby a first and a second scaling factor are applied to the luminance values associated with a pel. A determination is made as to whether or not the scaled luminance values overflow vertically and horizontally into surrounding pels in the second plurality of pels. If the scaled luminance values overflow vertically, the overflow is stored in a line buffer to be added to future scaled luminance values. If the scaled luminance values overflow horizontally, the overflow is accumulated in an accumulator to be. added to future scaled luminance values. Once a pel in the second plurality of pels is completely filled with luminance values, the pel is output to a buffer and is ready to be displayed.

Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression of, lung cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of lung cancer in the patient. The progression of lung cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.
