Abstract: A bus mechanism to control information exchanges between bus masters and bus targets over a bus structure that includes separate command, push and pull data buses. Commands are generated by bus masters and are interpreted by bus targets on a per-target basis. Each bus target controls the servicing of a command intended for such target by controlling the transfer of push data over the push bus to a bus master specified in the command as a destination, for a push operation type, and by controlling the transfer of pull data over the pull bus to the target from a bus master specified in the command as a destination, for a pull operation type. Arbitration logic associated with each bus is used to control the flow of the information exchanges on that bus.

Abstract: A multi-port rotary disc valve comprises a rotary distributor having channels arranged in a channel pattern and including a rotor and a movably mounted mask. The rotor and the mask accommodate the channels. The mask is adapted to change the channel pattern by changing its position with respect to the rotor to enable the disc valve to perform different predetermined sequences corresponding to different positions of the mask. A multi-port rotary disc valve comprises a stator (14) with fluid flow ports and a rotary distributor with channels (35, 36) arranged in a channel pattern. The channels are adapted to connect the ports between them and/or to the environment in predetermined combinations. Each combination is associated with an angular position of the rotary distributor with respect to the stator. A succession of the combinations performed during a full or partial unidirectional turn of the rotary distributor constitutes a predetermined sequence. The rotary distributor comprises a rotor (16) and a movably mounted mask (20). The rotor and the mask accommodate the channels. The mask is adapted to change the channel pattern by changing its position with respect to the rotor to enable the disc valve to perform different predetermined sequences corresponding to different positions of the mask.
