Patent EP-0772136-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BORTVEDT GERALD K
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1996-11-04
Abstract: A method for committing a distributed transaction in a distributed database system. The database system includes an interval coordinator, a plurality of database server programs, called coservers, and at least one transaction log. More than one coserver can operate on a single computer or node, and the coservers could share a transaction log. The interval coordinator sends each coserver a succession of interval messages, and each coserver flushes its associated transaction log to non-volatile storage in response. After flushing its transaction log, each coserver transmits a closure message to the interval coordinator. The coservers maintain a state which identifies the most recently received interval message; 
     Each distributed transaction includes an owner and a non-owner, or helper. For a transaction, the owner transmits a request message to the helper identifying an operation in the distributed transaction for the coserver to execute. Upon execution of the operation, the coserver transmits a completion message to the owner with a tag identifying the most recently received interval message. After receiving said completion message, the owner transmits an eligibility message for the transaction to the interval coordinator. Then the interval coordinator writes a commit state for the transaction to stable storage. Then the interval coordinator sends the owner and helper a commit message for the transaction.

Abstract: A printer has (1) a support shoe with a cylindrical inner surface and (2) a write head carried by a rotor which is simultaneously rotatable about and linearly translated along the axis of the cylindrical surface. A media guide member is mounted for movement along the axis of rotation of the rotor. The media guide member is moved to a position within the cylindrical inner surface of the support shoe so as to form a gap between the inner surface of the support shoe and the outer surface of the media guide member. The recording media can advance around a gap formed between the outer surface of the media guide member and inside of the cylindrical inner surface of the support shoe. The rotor is carried by a rotor support member in fixed spacial relationship to the media guide member for simultaneous linear translation along the axis of rotation of the rotor. The rotor support member is attached to a carriage assembly which is supported for movement along a pair of guide rods.

Abstract: A forced disconnect sequence switch is provided with a plunger 312 that has two surfaces 200 and 360 at its bottom portion. The two surfaces are disposed in planes which are displaced from each other so that cams can be actuated at different positions of travel of the plunger. The cams are sequentially rotatable to provide a positive break characteristic to the sequence switch. If either of the movable contact structures becomes welded to an associated stationary contact structure, each of the movable contacts are mechanically urged into separation sequentially by the cooperative action of the first and second surfaces of the plunger and their associated cams.

Abstract: The definition and use information of a constant hold variable are caused to be stored in a constant hold variable information hold unit 6 by a constant hold variable definition detection unit 7 and a use expression detection unit 8. A partial constant expression rewrite unit 9 rewrites to a constant a constant hold variable which, when a variable is rewritten to a constant, allows an expression containing the variable to be convoluted into a constant. A cost judgement and rewrite unit 10 judges by a cost whether the variable is to be used with loading it in a register or constant propagation is to be conducted, and, if constant propagation is to be cc'nducted, rewrites the variable with a constant. A resource allocation unit 11 allocates the variable to a resource. A memory variable rewrite unit 12 rewrites a constant hold variable allocated to a memory to a constant value. A constant hold variable definition removal unit 13 removes the definition of a constant hold variable which becomes unnecessary.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for testing automotive electronic control units and batteries and other equipment for identification and performance purposes utilises neural networks to effect waveform analysis on a digitised signal. Identification of electronic control units is by means of correlation of resultant waveform data with corresponding data on known units. Battery testing is by waveform analysis of the battery current during transient connection of a load by a transistorised switching circuit. In both cases the method of testing includes a network learning stage and an ensuing recognition test routine for characteristic waveforms.

Title: Systemes interacteurs informatises et leurs procedes d'obtention
Inventor: COHEN JONATHAN R
IPC: G06T19/00
Filed: 1996-08-01
Abstract: Un système interacteur informatisé utilise des objets physiques, tridimensionnels, comme icônes pour saisir l'intention de l'utilisateur dans un système informatique. Lorsqu'un ou plusieurs interacteurs sont utilisés dans une zone de détection, la zone de détection lit un identifiant associé à l'objet et communique l'identifiant à un système informatique. Le système informatique détermine la signification de l'interacteur en se fondant sur son identifiant et sur un contexte  sémantique dans lequel fonctionne le système informatique. Les interacteurs peuvent être utilisés pour commander d'autres systèmes, tels que des systèmes audio, ou ils peuvent être utilisés comme paramètres intuitifs dans un système informatique à des fins telles que le marquage d'événements dans un flux temporel. Les interacteurs, au minimum, communiquent leur identité, mais peuvent également être plus sophistiqués en ce sens qu'ils peuvent communiquer des données additionnelles traitées ou non traitées, c'est-à-dire qu'ils peuvent inclure leurs propres processeurs de données. La zone de détection peut être unidimensionnelle ou multidimensionnelle, et, habituellement, a différentes significations sémantiques associées à ses différentes parties.
