Abstract:
A multiprocessor system and method wherein one of the processors is assigned the responsibility of handling interrupts and identifying the next processor to handle an interrupt. When that processor switches tasks and determines that it is no longer the least important processor as far as task priority is concerned, it will then select and transfer its interrupt-related responsibilities (i.e., handling the interrupt and determining the next interrupt-handing processor) to the processor which is executing the least important task. The selected processor will then be designated for handling interrupts unless and until it undergoes a task switch and selects a different processor.

Abstract:
A sputter target material which is of a sintered material, wherein the sputter target material consists of 0.5 to 50 atomic % in total of at least one metal element (M) selected from the group of Ti, Zr, V, Nb and Cr, and the balance of Mo and unavoidable impurities, and has a microstructure seen at a perpendicular cross section to a sputtering surface, in which microstructure oxide particles exist near a boundary of each island of the metal element (M), and wherein the maximum area of the island, which is defined by connecting the oxide particles with linear lines so as to form a closed zone, is not more than 1.0 mm2.
Abstract:
When producing men's/women's jackets of every kind of length to order of a customer, front buttons and waist pockets are set and attached in well-balanced positions, while maintaining a position of a waist shape for the jacket, by defining an upper part of a back length line as a center back waist length and its lower part as a hip length (below waist) respectively and reflecting a value of the center back waist length in pattern design, setting a top one of the front buttons in a position a prescribed length above the back length line according to the center back waist length or a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length, and setting a bottom one of the front buttons and waist pockets in positions a prescribed length below the back length line according to the hip length. In the women's jacket, the center back waist length ranges from 34-45 cm and the hip length ranges from 15-38 cm, the top button is set and attached in a position 1.5-14.0 cm above the back length line, or parallel to or 3.0 cm above the waist pockets which are positioned below the back length line, the bottom button is set and attached in a position 7-10.5 cm below the back length line according to the hip length, and the waist pockets are set and attached in positions 4.5-6.5 cm below the back length line according to the hip length. In addition, the women's jacket is produced with front buttons and waist pockets being attached in well-balanced positions as described above in accordance with an easy-order-making production system.
