    摘要: A disk drive includes a drive housing, one or more rotating storage disks, each having a storage surface, and a fluid diffuser. The fluid diffuser includes one or more stationary diffuser wings, each having a wing surface positioned near the storage surface. One or more of the diffuser wings can extend between two of the storage disks. The diffuser wing includes a surface deviation that disrupts the fluid flow over the wing surface that is caused by the rotating storage disk. The surface deviation can include an indentation in the wing surface or can extend from the wing surface toward the storage surface. In still another embodiment, the surface deviation includes an aperture that extends through the diffuser wing. Further, the fluid diffuser can include a plurality of surface deviations that are positioned along the wing surface. Further, a portion of the surface deviation can form an angle with the wing surface that is greater than approximately 0 degrees and less than approximately 180 degrees. With this design, the fluid diffuser decreases fluid velocity near the data transducers and/or the rotating storage disks.

    摘要: A computer system includes a central processing unit (CPU), system read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM) and a system controller. The system ROM includes a reset vector. A portion of the RAM is used to shadow the system ROM. The system controller is connected between the CPU, the system ROM and the RAM. The system memory includes an internal memory for storing first data. The system memory also includes logic which, in response to receiving an access to a reset vector stored in the system ROM, returns the first data stored in the internal memory.

    摘要: A system and method for emulating the state of a soft reset within a processor device without requiring a dedicated soft reset external pin associated with said processor device. The novel system includes control circuitry coupled to a processor device for detecting a number of conditions used to cause the processor device to execute a soft reset. In processor devices that contain a write-back cache, the soft reset signal resets the configuration of the processor device and returns the processor to "real-address mode" addressing, but does not destroy the contents of the write-back cache (unlike a regular reset). Upon detecting a soft reset attempt, the novel system generates a System Management Interrupt (SMI) which is responded to by an interrupt handling routine also of the novel system. This interrupt handling routine contains a set of configuration data (stored in memory) that represents the expected state of the processor device after a soft reset. The interrupt handling routine copies this set of configuration data into the processor device and returns. By copying the set of configuration data into the processor device, a soft reset is effectively emulated without the need for a dedicated soft reset pin. The novel system advantageously reduces the overall pin count of the processor device, or, alternatively, allows an additional signal to be supplied over the dedicated pin that was used by the prior art to implement the soft reset signal.

    摘要: A system for altering a clock frequency to a logic controlling device that controls logic which runs at a fixed frequency slower than a frequency of a computer system running the logic. The system speeds up the clock signal to a logic controller when the logic controller is arbitrating between different operational requests. When the logic controller acknowledges a specific operational request, the clock controller immediately slows the clock signal down in order to allow a command strobe length that the logic device executing a specific operation request requires.

    摘要: A programmable pill box assembly includes a pill box that has a plurality of compartments therein for containing pills. A plurality of doors is each hingedly coupled to the pill box. Each of the doors is aligned with a respective one of the compartments for opening and closing the compartments. A sensing unit is coupled to the pill box to sense when each of the doors is opened or closed. A transmission unit is removably coupled to the pill box and the transmission unit transmits an alert signal when the sensing unit senses that a respective one of the doors has not been opened at a predetermined time. A bracelet is worn on a wrist of the user and the bracelet is in wireless communication with the transmission unit. The bracelet vibrates to remind the user to take the pills in one of the compartments in the pill box.

    摘要: A vehicle turn signal canceling system with means to recognize that a quantified turn has been made in order to deactivate the signaling condition. The system includes a microcontroller and an inertia sensor which measures the lateral or side force created when the vehicle turns left or right. The automatic function cancels the turn based on the side force as follows: at the time the turn signal is activated, the system records the referenced lateral or side force (the “reference point”); second, when the side force exceeds the reference point, plus a pre-determined side force, the unit accumulates exceedance time; and third, when the exceedance time reaches a pre-determined period of time, the turn signal status is then changed to “cancel” and the signaling condition is deactivated.

    摘要: A system for referring a telephone communication to one of a plurality of financial assistance providers based on lender criteria, the method including the steps of: storing telephone numbers for a plurality of financial assistance providers in memory accessible by a digital electrical computer; obtaining lender criteria for selecting one of the financial assistance providers; storing said criteria for access by said computer; identifying a debtor; selecting one of the financial assistance providers by accessing the criteria, applying the criteria, and accessing one of the stored telephone numbers; and connecting the debtor by telephone to the one of the stored telephone numbers. The system can be used with an intermediary that detects referring information sufficient to identify a referrer identity, to select which one of several financial assistance providers to refer the inbound communication by using a computer to look up and to apply referralcriteria responsive to the referrer identity, and to form and track the call referral.
