    Abstract: A system and method for efficiently handling interrupts in a microcontroller environment is disclosed. An interrupt handling circuit preserves a current state of a microcontroller comprising a plurality of primary registers for storing information relating to the current state of the microcontroller and a plurality of shadow registers coupled to at least two of the primary registers for storing the information contained in the coupled primary registers in response to receiving an interrupt enter signal from an interrupt signal generator. In one embodiment the information relating to the current state of the microcontroller includes the program counter, accumulator data, CPU status data, and an address pointer to data memory. In a preferred embodiment, the information is restored to the primary registers within one clock cycle of receiving an interrupt exit signal from the interrupt signal generator. In a pipeline stage embodiment a sequence of interrupt instructions is fed into the pipeline in subsequent clock cycles after the data is stored in the shadow registers, facilitating a rapid response to the interrupt.

    Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating a push-pull converter in an above resonant frequency operating mode, where the above resonant frequency operating mode produces a switching frequency that is higher than the natural operating resonant frequency of the converter circuit. This in turn means that the resonant period is longer than the turn-on period of each of the switches in the primary circuit. A method for operating a push-pull converter in an above resonant frequency mode, the push-pull converter having a first power switch and a second power switch operating in alternating sequence with each, the push pull converter having a transformer with a primary winding coupled to the first and second power switches and with a secondary winding coupled to a secondary circuit and an output capacitor, comprises generating an operating resonant frequency from a leakage inductance of said transformer in series with a capacitance; and generating a switching frequency for the power switches that is higher than the operating resonant frequency.

    Abstract: A centrifuge rotor locking apparatus includes a C-shaped annular member for a snap-fit engagement about a drive hub. The member comprises first and second contacting segments and a third non-contacting segment. Centrifugation causes the contacting segments to flex outwardly and come into contact with the interior wall of the drive hole of a mounted rotor. The unbalanced mass distribution of the annular member causes the member to tend to slide off the drive hub. This further separates the contacting segments, thus increasing the locking effect of the annular member/drive hub assembly to the rotor as the member is wedged in place between rotor and drive hub.

    Abstract: A centrifuge rotor overspeed protection system which can operate with rotors of at least two speed ranges. A set of coding elements are provided on the rotors coded to represent the actual maximum safe speed rating of the rotor. An additional set of coding elements coded to correspond to the maximum speed in the lower speed range are also provided such that the rotor can be operated at the maximum speed possible in a prior art centrifuge designed for operation in the lower speed range. The detection circuit for the coding elements automatically adjusts the detection threshold depending on the average values of the sensor output peaks corresponding to the codes.
