IPC: G06F9/06
Filed: 1998-12-16
Abstract: In a camera which mounts a microcomputer with an
internal flash memory, it is impossible to arbitrarily
rewrite the contents of all program areas in the flash
memory. 
     In this invention, the flash memory is divided
into a plurality of banks, and one bank holds a control
program for altering the contents of the flash memory.
Upon rewriting contents of this bank, the control
program held in that bank is copied to the other bank,
and the contents of that bank are rewritten under the
control of the control program on the other bank.

Abstract: A computer based method of collecting, structuring, and displaying product
configuration information, and using the product configuration information to
produce a computer program that validates product option selections and configures a
product, is disclosed. The computer based method is used to create a Knowledge
Map that contains product information objects. A product information object can be
one of: a product option object, representing a customer option; a product module
object, representing a collection of product parts, plans, tools, functional tests,
inspections, or software; a grouping object, grouping product options or modules; or
a relational object representing a relation between product objects. An input device is
used to select a plurality of product information objects and position the objects in a
display area. Upon selection of the objects, an operator is prompted to input specific
information pertaining to the selected object. Constraints limit the selections that an
operator can make, the appearance of the objects, and the configurations that can be
produced from selected objects. Information pertaining to selected objects and their
configuration is stored in a database. Changes can be made directly to the
information stored in the database, and these changes are reflected in a corresponding
display of the product information. After producing a Knowledge Map, the
information is retrieved from a database to produce a set of rules that is input to a
rule-based program for validating a set of product option selections and configuring a
final product defined by resulting modules. The information can also be retrieved to
produce object-based information to be used in the creation of an object-based
program for validating a set of product options and configuring a product.

comprises a plurality of recording elements aligned along at
least a single line in a primary scanning direction and the
plural pieces of print heads are arranged in parallel to each
other in the primary scanning direction so that plural
component images of the color image are formed parallel
respectively by the plural pieces of print heads. 
a reference component image forming device controls the plural
pieces of print heads so as to form and superimpose plural
reference component images based on the reference component
image data and timing setting values. A timing correcting unit
analyzes positional deviations in secondary scanning direction
among the plural superimposed reference component images and
corrects the timing setting values on the basis of the
positional deviations in the secondary scanning direction.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des ensembles à corps semi-perméable pour système d'apport osmotique qui régulent la vitesse d'apport d'un agent bénéfique en provenance d'un système d'apport osmotique qui comprend l'un des ensembles à corps semi-perméable. Un ensemble à corps semi-perméable ou obturateur comprend un corps semi-perméable qui peut être placé dans une ouverture d'un système d'apport osmotique. Le corps semi-perméable présente une partie interne creuse ayant une dimension choisie pour obtenir une vitesse prédéterminée de perméation d'un liquide s'écoulant à travers le corps semi-perméable. Etant donné que l'agent bénéfique contenu dans le système d'apport osmotique est administré à une vitesse sensiblement identique, l'agent osmotique imbibe le liquide qui a été filtré à travers l'obturateur à partir d'un environnement, la vitesse de perméation du liquide s'écoulant à travers l'obturateur régule la vitesse d'apport de l'agent bénéfique en provenance du système d'apport osmotique. On peut faire varier la vitesse de perméation du liquide s'écoulant à travers le corps semi-perméable pour réguler la vitesse d'apport de l'agent bénéfique en provenance d'un système d'apport osmotique en changeant l'épaisseur du corps semi-perméable ou en changeant une quantité de la zone de surface du corps semi-perméable qui est exposée au liquide lorsque le système d'apport osmotique est placé dans un environnement d'utilisation liquide.

Abstract: In a voice switch, a receiving voice signal (A) and a
transmitting voice signal (D) are inputted to a receiving
side control section (3a), the receiving side control section
(3a) thereby produces a signal for controlling an amount of
attenuation in a receiving side attenuation section (1). As
a result, the receiving side attenuation section (1)
attenuates the receiving voice signal (A) by a predetermined
amount to produce a speaker output voice signal (B) for
driving a speaker (4). A speaker output voice signal (B)
and a microphone input voice signal (C) are inputted to a
transmitting side control section (3b), the transmitting
side control section (3b) thereby produces a signal for
controlling an amount of attenuation in a transmitting side
attenuation section (2). Consequently, the transmitting
side attenuation section (2) attenuates the speaker output
voice signal (B) by a predetermined amount to produce the
transmitting voice signal (D).

Abstract: A system is disclosed for positioning an
electronic test head with respect to an electronic device
handler. The positioner assembly includes separate locks
which allow the test head to move vertically while
preventing rotation of the test head about the main
shaft. Thus, the test head can be aligned with the device
handler, moved vertically away from the device handler
while adjustments are made, and easily realigned with the
device handler after adjustments have been completed.
Alternatively, the separate locks allow the test head to
rotate about the main shaft while preventing movement
along the main shaft. Thus, the test head can be aligned
with the device handler, rotated about the main shaft and
away from the device handler while adjustments are made,
and easily realigned with the device handler after
adjustments have been completed. An index pin allows the
test head to be rotated from an initial position to a
temporary position and then rotated from the temporary
position back to the initial position without requiring
realignment of the test head relative to the device
handler. The system includes a projected cradle assembly
which allows the heavy test head to be projected above or
below a physically large handler while still pivoting the
load of the test head with its cable assembly at its
center of gravity.

Abstract: A system and method for improving microprocessor computer system out of order support
via register management with synchronization of multiple pipelines and providing for
processing a sequential stream of instructions in a computer system having a first and a
second processing element, each of said processing elements having its own state
determined by a setting of its own general purpose and control registers. When at any point
in the processing of said sequential stream of instructions by said first processing element it
becomes beneficial to have said second processing element begin continued processing of
the same sequential instruction stream then the first and second processing elements process
the sequential stream of instructions and may be executing the very same instruction but
only one of said processing elements is permitted to change the overall architectural state of
said computer system which is determined by a combination of the states of said first and
second processing elements. The second processor will have more pipeline stages than the
first in order processor to feed the first processor and reduce the finite cache penalty and
increase performance. The processing and storage of results of the second processor does
not change the architectural state of the computer system. Results are stored in its gprs or
its personal storage buffer. Resynchronization of states with a coprocessor occurs upon an
invalid op, a stall or a computed specific benefit to processing with the coprocessor as a
speculative coprocessor. In an alternative embodiment the foregoing process is generalized
for both processors allowing processors to forward and store architectural state changes for
future use as required by the other processor when at a later time the processor which
is permitted to change the overall architectural state of said computer system is changed.
