Title: Procede et appareil permettant de tolerer des pertes de tops d'horloge au cours d'une reprise dans un systeme de multitraitement
Inventor: BASAVAIAH MURALI
IPC: G06F11/20
Filed: 1998-01-27
Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un appareil permettant de détecter et de tolérer des situations dans lesquelles une ou plusieurs unités de traitement d'un système de multitraitement ne peuvent participer à des protocoles ou des séquences d'événements déclenchés ou commandés par leur horloge. Ledit système de multitraitement comprend plusieurs unités de traitement dotées chacune d'une mémoire. Ces unités de traitement sont couplées par un réseau de communication inter-unités (constitué de préférence de voies redondantes). Les unités de traitement sont suspectées de se trouver en situation de défaillance immédiate (c'est à dire d'avoir interrompu leur traitement) ou d'être soumise à une défaillance de leur mécanisme d'horloge lorsque les autres unités de traitement détectent l'absence de messages périodiques du type 'je suis en vie' en provenance d'autres unités de traitement. Dans ce cas, toutes les unités de traitement du système sont soumises à une série d'étapes au cours desquelles elles se transmettent, les unes aux autres et de manière répétée, leur statut et leur état de connectivité. Conformément à l'invention, au cours d'une telle première étape, une unité de traitement ne peut faire état de sa capacité de participer que si son mécanisme d'horloge fonctionne. Elle amorce un événement d'expiration d'horloge et ne divulgue pas son état de santé avant la survenue de cet événement d'expiration d'horloge.

Abstract: Dans un réseau de communication (N), un organe de transfert de messages d'information (IMTM) gère l'acheminement indépendant des messages d'information vers les postes d'abonnés (A, B). Lorsqu'une demande initiale d'établissement de communication initiée par un premier poste d'abonné (A) échoue, un organe de détection (DET) détecte cet échec. L'IMTM est alors activé et le premier poste d'abonné (A) enregistre un message d'information souhaité dans une mémoire (MEM). Le premier poste d'abonné (A) entre ensuite dans une phase d'attente et est libre de traiter d'autres demandes d'établissement de communications. Le message d'information enregistré est transféré au second poste d'abonné (B) au moyen de l'IMTM qui établit une communication indépendante vers le poste d'abonné désiré (B). Grâce à l'établissement indépendant d'une communication, on peut être sûr que le message d'information arrivera bel et bien jusqu'au second poste d'abonné (B) sans l'aide du premier (A).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for low-delay conversion of 3:2 pulldown video to
progressive format with field averaging is disclosed. The method considers 3:2
pulldown interlaced video that represents a four-frame motion picture film sequence
as a ten-field interlaced video field sequence of three, two, three, two video fields per
motion picture frame respectively for the four-frame sequence. One step of the
method is the step of creating a ten-frame progressive video frame sequence, having a
delay of approximately one field time with respect to the ten-field interlaced video
sequence. This step is achieved by combining at one field time intervals a top field
and a bottom field from the ten-field interlaced video sequence, where, at the time of
combination, the top field and the bottom field are the most recently available top and
bottom fields corresponding to the same motion picture film frame. The method
comprises the further step of substituting, for the top field or the bottom field in the
combining step, an average of that top or bottom field and the field two fields prior,
when that top or bottom field and the field two fields prior correspond to the same
motion picture film frame. 
     Apparatus for performing the above method includes a multiplexer (80) that
accepts an input video signal, a two-field-time delayed signal, and a signal that
represents the average of these two. The multiplexer (80) outputs a send field and a
store field that meet the criteria described above. The send field and a one-field-time
delayed version of the store field are combined to produce a progressive frame.

Abstract: A method and system for a merchandise checkout system utilizes a
remote scanning device, a shopping cart and bags for allowing a purchaser
to buy merchandise unassisted by store personnel. The remote scanning
device reads product identity information from coded levels on products
chosen by the purchaser and sends the information to a central processor.
The central processor has a memory, which indexes price information and
weight for each product based on the product identity information. The
central processor sends an accumulated price and weight transaction to
the remote scanning device for the purchaser's use. The product identity
information on the products further include a security tag device which
is deactivated by the remote scanning device. The purchaser upon
completion of their purchases takes their shopping cart to a security
station for weighing in on a scale wherein an actual combined weight of
the shopping cart, bags and products is compared to a predicted weight
determined by the central processor and generating a notification signal
if a discrepancy occurs. The security station further verifies that the
security tag devices have been deactivated and also generates a
notification signal. The purchaser next goes to a payment checkout
terminal coupled to the central processor, wherein the payment checkout
terminal effects financial transactions including acceptance of payment
for transactions initiated by the remote scanning device, and the payment
checkout terminal is operable by store personnel only.

Abstract: A printing apparatus and a printing method
which eliminate a problem of boundary stripes by
taking advantage of features of the multipass
printing performed by the printing apparatus
without causing a reduction in a throughput. An
amount of paper feed for each scan is set to a
value which, when multiplied by an integer, is not
equal to a printing width covered by a total
number of nozzles (1021) in a print head (102), in
order to prevent the adjoining of the end portions
of print areas of each scan which would otherwise
increase the possibility of the boundary stripes
being formed at the boundaries and to make the
boundaries of the print areas appear at shorter
intervals than the paper feed intervals. At the
same time, the mask used for the image data to be
supplied to the print head in each scan is so set
that the mask corresponding to the end nozzle
groups among a plurality of nozzle groups have low
printing duties.

Abstract: The present invention concerns high efficiency reverse flow
cyclones - with a tangential entry of essentially rectangular section, sides a
and  b , the first parallel to the cyclone axis; a body of height  H , with an upper
cylindrical section of diameter D and height h and a lower inverted cone with
smaller base of diameter  D b :  and a cylindrical vortex finder of diameter  D e   
and length  s  - which may be used in laboratory or industrial conditions,
whenever dedusting is needed. 
     The inventor could obtain an empirical correlation to estimate
particle turbulent diffusivities under cyclone flow, through the use of a finite
diffusivity theory which was adjusted to laboratory, pilot-scale and industrial
grade efficiency curves. This correlation allows the design of reverse-flow
cyclones of arbitrary geometry, as a function of particle size distribution and
operating conditions. A computer program was made to obtain optimum
designed reverse-flow cyclones, and two geometries have been obtained,
which respectively maximise collection efficiency and one ratio
efficiency/costs. 
     The proposed geometries, defined as ratios of the above mentioned
dimensions to the cyclone inside diameter, differ from all geometries
available in the literature, both being significantly more efficient. For flow
rates typical of industrial multicyclones, the emissions should be 30-45%
lower for the first family and 20-35% for the second, as compared with
emissions from high efficiency cyclones available. Laboratory-scale tests with
a similar geometry have confirmed the expected emissions reductions, at
similar levels of pressure drop.
