Abstract: Properties of a thin film of vacuum deposited material, such as titanium nitride, on a substrate are enhanced by plasma or thermal annealing of the thin film without removing the film from a vacuum environment. The annealing step may be performed in the same vacuum chamber as the sputter deposition, or in a different vacuum chamber, provided the substrate can be transferred between chambers while remaining in a vacuum environment.

Abstract: A microprocessor-controlled remote resistance measurement system is disclosed wherein the connection leads to the three- or four-wire resistance temperature devices (RTDs) (24) are multiplexed via a four-channel analog multiplexer (28) at the input of the unit. A separate two-channel multiplexer is also used to multiplex a fifth input for measurement of a reference resistor. The output of the multiplexer is coupled to a voltage-to-frequency converter (32), wherein the frequency output is utilized as an input to the microprocessor-based controller. The microcontroller (22) can check for broken wires by addressing the multiplexers to individually isolate any of the connecting wires (25) to the remote RTD sensors. The output of the multiplexer (28) is monitored in a Test Mode by connecting a known impedance to the multiplexer output to determine if any RTD connections are defective. If one of the voltage sensing wires is faulty, the known impedance will cause an erroneous frequency reading into the microcontroller, which will then provide an indication on the display for determining exactly which RTD wire is broken. Only two address lines are used to control the five multiplexer channels through the use of a function selector circuit and a two-stage measurement cycle.

Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency cut-out device for internal combustion engines for returning the control rods (7) of injection pumps (6) to zero delivery when, due to a defect, filling control by the means provided is no longer possible. For this purpose a shaft (3) with two shaft sections (4, 5) is provided in the linkange between control element (1) and control rod (7), which shaft sections in normal operation are connected to one another by a torsionally rigid coupling (9) and are set in rotational movement by the control pulses of the control element (1). In the event of a fault, the coupling (9) is detached by axial separation of the coupling halves assigned to the two shaft sections (4, 5). An axial piston (20), to which pressure medium can be admitted and which is movable against the force of a spring (17) acting on the coupling (9) in the longitudinal direction of the shaft (3), serves for this purpose. In addition the shaft section (5) on the control rod side is equipped with a rotary piston (24) to which, in order to return the control rod (7) to zero delivery, pressure medium can be admitted. It is especially advantageous that the installation of the emergency cut-out device in the transmission path between control element (1) and control rod (7) does not increase the power received from the control element (1) in normal operation, which gives a good control capability. The design of the device with a shaft (3) and hydraulically actuated elements permits a simple construction with a single coupling (9) for low-backlash transmission of the control pulses. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an overflow detection circuit for A+B operation, an inverter outputs a value V B ' of inverteed bits of a numeric part of addend B. A comparator inputs a numeric part V A  of an augend A and an output V B ' of the inverter and outputs a signal C indicating whether or not V g  > V B ' is given. Sign parts S A  and S B  of A and B and the output C of the comparator are inputted into the decoder and an overflow signal O is outputted. The decoder is a circuit which outputs 1 when S A  and S B  are 0 and V g  is large and when S A  and S B  are 1 and V A  is small and 0 in other cases. If the comparator is a circuit for determining V g ≧V B ', the overflow of A+B+1 can be detected. Thus, the overflow of the result of operation can be detected earlier than an adder and a substracter output the results.

Abstract: An improved memory model and implementation is disclosed. The memory model includes a Total Store Ordering (TSO) and Partial Store Ordering (PSO) memory model to provide a partial order for the memory operations which are issued by multiple processors. The TSO memory model includes a FIFO Store Buffer for Store, and Atomic Load-Store operations. The Load operations are not placed in the FIFO Store Buffer. The Load operation checks for a value stored in the same location in the FIFO Store Buffer; if no such value is found, then requested value is returned from memory. The PSO model also includes a Store Buffer for Store, and Atomic Load-Store operations. However, unlike the TSO model, the Store Buffer in the PSO model is not FIFO. The processors in the PSO model may issue the Store and Atomic Load-Store in a certain order; however, such operations may be executed by memory out of the order issued by the processors. The execution order is assured only by address matching and the STBAR operation. Two Store operations separated by a STBAR operations guarantees memory will execute the operations in an order issued by the processors. Load operations in the PSO model are not placed in the Store Buffer. The Load operation first checks for a value stored in the same location in the Store Buffer; if no such value is found, then the requested value is returned from memory.

Abstract: The EMI message record generated for interexchange telephone toll calls is enhanced via the addition of a primary interexchange carrier (PIC) indicator, whose value provides an indication as to whether a terminating subscriber has a particular interexchange carrier as his/her PIC. The PIC indicator may be used by the interexchange carrier when bills are rendered for its subscribers--for example, to provide different billing treatment for calls that were made over that carrier's network to terminating subscribers whose PIC is, in fact, that very carrier, as opposed to calls that were made to subscribers with a different PIC.

Provided in the falling shaft (8) limited by mutually opposite channel walls (42, 43) are alternately offset air slits (44, 46), through which blowing air is directed essentially transversely to the flightpath (41) towards the tobacco flying downwards, with the result that the latter is alternately deflected laterally out of its flightpath. The lateral deflection is advantageously associated with a loosening and separation of the tobacco fibres which have an advantageous effect on the quality of the finished cigarettes. <IMAGE>
