Abstract: An apparatus and method for loading BIOS from a diskette drive (66) into a personal computer system (10) normally connected to a fixed disk drive (62). The personal computer system (10) further includes a system processor (26), a random access main memory, a read only memory (36) and a switching means. The switching means generates a signal to indicate a mode for whether BIOS loads from either diskette or disk. In a priority mode, BIOS loads immediately from diskette. In a recovery mode, BIOS loads from diskette after testing the disk subsystem. The read only memory (36) includes a first portion of BIOS and data representing the type of system processor (26) and system planar (24) I/O configuration. The first portion of BIOS initializes the system (10) and queries the switching means. If the fixed disk is not available or the master boot record on the disk is invalid, the first portion of BIOS reads in a master boot record from the diskette drive (66). For either mode, the master boot record includes a data segment (122-138) and an executable code segment (120). The data segment (122-138) includes data representing system hardware and a system configuration which is supported by the master boot record. The first BIOS portion transfers control to the executable code segment (120) which confirms the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware by verifying that the data from the data segment (122-138) of the master boot record agrees with the system processor (26), system planar (24), and planar I/O configuration. If the master boot record is compatible with the system hardware, the executable code segment (120) confirms that the system configuration has not changed and loads in the remaining BIOS portion from the diskette drive (66) into random access memory (32). The executable code segment (120) then verifies the authenticity of the remaining BIOS portion and vectors the system processor (26) to begin executing the BIOS now in random access memory (32). BIOS, executing in random access memory (32), then boots up the operating system to begin operation of the personal computer system (10).

Abstract: The present invention provides a disk drive apparatus for use in computer systems and especially in computer systems where size and weight are of paramount concern, such as lap top computer systems. The preferred embodiment of the disk drive apparatus includes a 63.5mm (2.5") magnetic disk that preferably provides 20 to 40 megabytes of storage within a foot print area of approximately 71.1 mm (2.8 inches) by approximately 101.6mm (4.0 inches). Further, the disk drive apparatus possesses a height dimension of 16.0mm (0.630 inch) or less. This height dimension is achieved, in part, by providing a low profile spin motor to rotate the magnetic disk. The low profile spin motor uses high energy magnets that are preferably made of a material that includes a rare earth, such as neodymium or samarium. The disk drive apparatus also employs a rotary actuator having a voice coil assembly of reduced height that is achieved by using the housing as a flux return path for magnet fields produced by the voice coil assembly. The present invention also provides an improved ambient filter that reduces the penetration of ambient water vapour into the housing of the disk drive apparatus. An improved desiccant located, at least in part, within the housing is also provided by the present invention.. Additionally, the invention provides a flex circuit having a geometry that results in substantially zero torque applied to the rotary actuator. Also provided is a distributed frame apparatus that, besides connecting the housing to a printed circuit board, also provides side, top and/or bottom mounting capability and shock absorbing capability. The distributed frame also avoids the need for grounding.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for connecting two electrical conductors (102,104) by means of a bladder (110) having a substantially constant volume of confined fluid interacting between a backing member (106) and one of the conductors (104). The bladder forms a compliant membrane surface (108) that transmits fluid pressure nearly hydrostatically from one conductor (104), to the other (102) such that the intimate contact of the surfaces (116) between the conductors provides an improved electrical connection, especially for small scale multi-conductors. A two-step, cam actuated connector (250,300) is disclosed which provides a low pressure wiping action between the conductors before the conductors are locked together, preferably by pressurization of the bladder (218,308).

On procède à l'identification basée sur le premier paramètre mesuré d'un type de particules (A). Une fois le type de particule identifiée, on mesure un second paramètre, différent du premier paramètre, pour le type de particule. On peut identifier les autres types de particules (B) se trouvant dans le champ visuel, sur la base du second paramètre associé au type de particule ayant été identifiée. Selon un exemple, on utilise, premièrement, une couleur afin de différencier diverses particules différentes se trouvant dans le champ visuel, et afin d'identifier un type particulier de particule. Ensuite, on mesure un paramètre morphologique, tel que la taille, associé au type de particule identifiée. On utilise le caractère morphologique mesuré associé au type de particule identifiée, en tant que seuil permettant de différencier d'autres particules se trouvant dans le champ visuel, sur la base du second paramètre morphologique. De même, on peut utiliser, premièrement, une caractéristique morphologique afin de différencier un type de particule.

Abstract: A method of coating metal on a poly(aryl ether ketone) surface comprises treating the surface with a swelling agent, removing the swelling agent, etchinig the treated surface and then plating the etched surface with a metal using an electroless plating process. The process can be used to metal plate articles of poly(aryl ether ketones) of complex shapes, such as electrical connectors. Exceptional bond strength between the metal and the poly(aryl ether ketone) surface is obtained. Poly(aryl ether ketone) compositions, even those containing little, or no, glass or mineral fillers can be plated with a strongly adherent coating of plated metal using a process of this invention. The poly(aryl ether ketone) may contain additives such as pigments, fillers, stabilizers, reinforcing agents or the like. Blends of poly(aryl ether ketones) with other polymers, such as polyetherimides, fluoroelastomers, or the like, can be treated in accordance with this invention.

Abstract: In Multistation Demand Assigned Time Division Multiple Access Systems digital information is communicated from a head end to a population of oustations so that all the outstations receive the same stream of digital information and select their traffic from it. Traffic is only sent to and from an outstation when there is a demand for it. As the outstations are at random ranges from the head end it is necessary to know the time of travel for a burst of information so they arrive at the head end sequentially. The traffic dependent free time is consolidated and made available for ranging-in outstations.
