摘要:
A coating method and apparatus in which a coating composition is applied from a hopper to a web continuously travelling on a backing roller. The backing roller is rapidly moved by a pneumatic mechanism relative to the hopper between positions at which the composition can and cannot be applied to the travelling web in order to avoid thick coating at a leading portion or at a spliced portion of the web.

A toilet apparatus is provided in a lavatory having at least one stool, urinal, bidet, or similar toilet structure. The toilet apparatus comprises a detecting sensor for detecting constituents in the feces, urine, or both of a user, and an indicator for indicating or informing the user of his health based upon abnormalities in the constituents detected by the sensor. The apparatus is particularly useful in informing the user of a toilet of his health each time he uses the toilet.

A computer architecture and programming model for high speed processing over broadband networks are provided. The architecture employs a consistent modular structure, a common computing module and uniform software cells. The common computing module includes a control processor, a plurality of processing units, a plurality of local memories from which the processing units process programs, a direct memory access controller and a shared main memory. A synchronized system and method for the coordinated reading and writing of data to and from the shared main memory by the processing units also are provided. A processing system for processing computer tasks is also provided. A first processor is of a first processor type and a number of second processors are of a second processor type. One of the second processors manages process scheduling of computing tasks by providing tasks to at least one of the first and second processors.

This invention provides a technique of easily encoding image data to generate encoded data having high image quality within a target code amount using a small memory capacity by image encoding processing of performing frequency transform and quantization of each pixel block. A frequency transform unit separates image data into low frequency band data and high frequency band data. A coefficient quantizing unit, coefficient encoder, and code amount controller operate to encode the high frequency band data within a predetermined amount. When the encoding processing of the high frequency band data has ended, the quantization parameter of the low frequency band data is set based on the generated code amount of the high frequency band data. A coefficient quantizing unit, coefficient encoder, code amount detector, and quantization parameter updating unit operate to encode the low frequency band data into codes within a low frequency band target code amount.

This invention enables to generate encoded data without noticeable image quality degradation when reproducing an image at a lower resolution not to mention the original resolution. To accomplish this, when setting is done to transmit an image captured by a digital camera to a network, code stream forming information CF is set to “2” to arrange the encoded data of each tile in a resolution order. To suppress image quality degradation when reproducing at an intermediate resolution, stream conversion information SC is set to “2”. When encoding image data in compression processing, block overlap processing of suppressing discontinuity of data at the boundary between adjacent blocks is executed as many times as the count set in the stream conversion information. The obtained encoded data is arranged in accordance with the code stream forming information CF and output.
摘要:
An apparatus and a computer program product are provided for completing a plurality of (direct memory access) DMA commands in a computer system. It is determined whether the DMA commands are chained together as a list DMA command. Upon a determination that the DMA commands are chained together as a list DMA command, it is also determined whether a current list element of the list DMA command is fenced. Upon a determination that the current list element is not fenced, a next list element is fetched and processed before the current list element has been completed.

A brushless motor has rotor cores dividedly formed as plural sections in an axial direction, segment magnets secured to outer circumferential surfaces of the rotor cores, and magnet holders secured to the rotor cores, respectively, for holding the segment magnet. Each of the rotor cores has holder-positioning grooves to which holder arms are fitted, and bridge parts formed corresponding to the holder positioning grooves. Each of the magnet holders has joint grooves fitted in the bridge parts and displaced from the holder arms by a step angle, the bridge parts being fitted in the joint grooves, thereby assembling a rotor.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus provide for interconnecting one or more multiprocessors and one or more external devices through one or more configurable interface circuits, which are adapted for operation in: (i) a first mode to provide a coherent symmetric interface; or (ii) a second mode to provide a non-coherent interface.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for creating memory barriers in a Direct Memory Access (DMA) device. A memory barrier command is received and a memory command is received. The memory command is executed based on the memory barrier command. A bus operation is initiated based on the memory barrier command. A bus operation acknowledgment is received based on the bus operation. The memory barrier command is executed based on the bus operation acknowledgment. In a particular aspect, memory barrier commands are direct memory access sync (dmasync) and direct memory access enforce in-order execution of input/output (dmaeieio) commands.
摘要:
A processor includes a CPU core which executes a user program, and a data transfer apparatus. The CPU core stores a transfer request from a user program in a specific area of a main memory, in which the transfer request specifies the virtual addresses of a transfer source and a transfer destination in a memory space allocated to the user program. The data transfer apparatus refers to the specific area of the main memory and acquires a transfer request asynchronously to processing performed by the CPU core. The data transfer apparatus then identifies physical addresses corresponding to virtual addresses specified in the transfer request. After that, the data transfer apparatus transcribes original data stored in a storage area indicated by the physical address of the transfer source, to a storage area in a cache memory related to the virtual address or physical address of the transfer destination.
