IPC: D02G3/22
Filed: 1991-06-08
Abstract: Beschrieben werden ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Messen des Verwirbelungszustandes eines verwirbelten Multifilamentgarnes. Das verwirbelte Garn wird durch eine selbstfördernde Fluiddüse (Luftdüse) bewegt. Das Garn füllt den Düsenkanal weitgehend aus, während es in praktisch zugspannungsfreiem Zustand aus der Düse austritt. Aufgrund des am Düsenausgang auftretenden Druckunterschiedes werden nicht geschlossene Garnzonen explosionsartig, ballonförmig aufgeweitet. Im aufgeweiteten Bereich des Garns ist eine Sensoreinrichtung, vorzugsweise eine elektronische Kamera, angeordnet, die die durch die Garnfilamente hervorgerufenen Helligkeitsunterschiede oder Lichtbeugungsphänomene erfaßt und in Abhängigkeit hiervon ein Signal an eine Signalverarbeitungseinrichtung abgibt. Das erfindungsgemäße Meßprinzip ermöglicht sehr präzise Aussagen über die Art der Verwirbelung (punktförmig oder kontinuierlich) wie auch über die Geometrie der Verwirbelung (z.B. Anzahl und Abstand von Verwirbelungsknoten im Falle einer punktförmigen Verwirbelung). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of operating a distributed computer system using a serialising token as a supplement to locks for accessing the same page by different processes and ensuring coherence between data caches and a shared access backing store supporting the processes defined onto multiple processors. A shared lock and a new token are issued by a local lock manager (LLM) and local cache manager (LCM) in response to a page read request from a process. An exclusive lock, an invalidation of all cache resident copies of the page, a cache write through to backing store of the changed page, a copyback of a new token, and lock release are responsive to a page write/update request from a process where the token issued to the process during a prior request matches the token stored with a cache resident copy of the page. Otherwise, a write request fails and the process must first issue a read request to the page of interest.

Abstract: A voltage reference circuit (10) is providing for developing an output voltage operating independent of temperature and power supply variation. A current reference circuit (12) provides a current reference signal operating independent of power supply variation and having a predetermined temperature coefficient and flowing through a first transistor (20) and a first resistor (22) each having opposite temperature coefficients. The output voltage is established as the sum of the base-emitter junction potential of the first transistor and the potential developed across the first resistor. The temperature coefficient of the potential developed across the first resistor substantially cancels the temperature coefficient across the base-emitter junction of the first transistor thereby providing the output voltage operating independent of temperature and power supply variation.

Abstract: The computer system has a multiple, out-of-order, instruction issuing system suitable for superscalar processors with a RISC organization. 
     Superscalar processors increase the number of executions per cycle (throughput) by issuing multiple instructions to functional units each cycle when possible. Instructions may be scheduled in hardware at run time (dynamic scheduling), enabling multiple, out-of-order, instructions to be issued that are difficult or impossible to schedule at compile time. Problems with this scheduling approach include complex hardware (and subsequent "slow" operation), the scheduling of multiple out-of-order storage and condition code dependent instructions, and achieving fast precise interrupts and multiple levels of branch prediction. 
     The computer system is provided with a Fast Dispatch Stack (FDS), a dynamic instruction scheduling system that may issue multiple, out-of-order, instructions each cycle to functional units as dependencies allow. The basic issuing mechanism supporting a short cycle time is studied and then its capabilities are augmented incrementally, examining trade-offs and performance implications at each step. 
     The structures and cycle time necessary to schedule storage, branch, and register-to-register instructions and assign them to functional units are studied in detail. A technique is presented that enables condition code dependent instructions to issue in multiples and out-of-order. A fast register renaming scheme is presented and evaluated. An instruction squashing technique is presented that enables fast precise interrupts and branch prediction. Instructions preceding and following one or more predicted conditional branch instructions may issue out-of-order and concurrently. The effects of executed instructions following an incorrectly predicted branch instruction or an instruction that causes a precise interrupt are undone in one machine cycle.
