Inventor: LAKE DAVID
IPC: G06F9/50
Filed: 2003-08-20
Abstract: Methods, devices, configuration tools and operating systems are disclosed for reducing memory and processor usage in a computer operating system utilising a processor, a memory and a single stack, the operating system comprising a plurality of tasks divided into predetermined priority categories, including preemptive tasks and at least one task that voluntarily yields control of the processor to tasks of lower priority than itself in predetermined circumstances, wherein each task has associated therewith a stack pointer, and wherein the at least one task, when started, has its stack pointer set to a precalculated worst-case value guaranteed to leave sufficient space in the stack beneath the stack pointer for any preemptive tasks of lower priority, and wherein the at least one task has allocated to it an area of memory into which its stack contents is saved, a size of the area of memory being determined by a declared precalculated worst-case stack usage of the at least one task at any point at which the at least one task may yield control of the processor. Embodiments of the present invention enable a plurality of tasks to run on a single stack, thus saving memory and processor usage.

Title: Procede et dispositif permettant de determiner la viabilite d'un oeuf
Inventor: REEVES SIDNEY JAMES
IPC: G01N21/49
Filed: 2003-09-04
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de déterminer la viabilité d'un oeuf à la moitié de la période d'incubation environ, consistant : (a) à soumettre l'oeuf à un rayonnement électromagnétique, le rayonnement électromagnétique ayant une ou plusieurs longueurs d'onde dans la partie infrarouge du spectre ; (b) à recevoir au moins une partie du rayonnement infrarouge qui a traversé l'oeuf et à produire un signal de sortie représentatif du rayonnement infrarouge ; et (c) à traiter ce signal de sortie pour déterminer s'il y a une variation cyclique dans l'intensité du rayonnement infrarouge quittant l'oeuf correspondant aux battements d'un coeur, la présence de cette variation cyclique indiquant la viabilité de l'oeuf. Dans l'étape (a), un rayonnement infrarouge est orienté de manière à traverser la coquille et à être réfléchi par la surface externe d'une structure vasculaire adjacente à la surface interne de ladite coquille. Dans l'étape (b), c'est le rayonnement infrarouge réfléchi par ladite structure vasculaire qui est reçu.

Abstract: A band-dividing unit (6) is operable to extract a low frequency component
from an input signal in order to generate overtones based on the extracted low frequency
component, and is further operable to divide the extracted low frequency component
into signals that belongs to different frequency bands. Each of overtone-generating units
(4a), (4b), and (4c) is disposed for corresponding one of the different frequency bands,
and is operable to generate overtones based on an output signal from corresponding one
of band pass filters. An adder (7a) adds the generated overtones to the input signal that
has passed through a delay. The resulting acoustic signal is sent to the outside through a
high-pass filter (8). One overtone-generating unit (4a) designed for a higher frequency
band among the different frequency bands is set to produce the same or fewer overtones
than another overtone-generating unit (4b) suited for a lower frequency band
thereamong does. This feature provides an array of continuous overtones with a less
amount of calculation, while collectively generating the overtones at a lower frequency
that falls within the range of a speaker reproducible band.
