    摘要: A processor complex architecture facilitates accurate passing of transient data among processor complex stages of a pipelined processing engine. The processor complex comprises a central processing unit (CPU) coupled to an instruction memory and a pair of context data memory structures via a memory manager circuit. The context memories store transient “context” data for processing by the CPU in accordance with instructions stored in the instruction memory. The architecture further comprises data mover circuitry that cooperates with the context memories and memory manager to provide a technique for efficiently passing data among the stages in a manner that maintains data coherency in the processing engine. An aspect of the architecture is the ability of the CPU to operate on the transient data substantially simultaneously with the passing of that data by the data mover.

    摘要: A door boot for an appliance is positioned within the access opening of the appliance. A door is movable to a closed position cooperating with the door boot to seal the interior of the appliance cabinet. A relief groove is provided in the door boot which provides flexibility when the door is moved to its open position, and thereby reduces the force necessary to break the seal during opening of the door. The relief groove forms a flexible hinge.

    摘要: A programmable processing engine processes transient data within an intermediate network station of a computer network. The engine comprises an array of processing elements symmetrically arrayed as rows and columns, and embedded between input and output buffer units with a plurality of interfaces from the array to an external memory. The external memory stores non-transient data organized within data structures, such as forwarding and routing tables, for use in processing the transient data. Each processing element contains an instruction memory that allows programming of the array to process the transient data as processing element stages of baseline or extended pipelines operating in parallel.

    摘要: A synchronization and control system for an arrayed processing engine of an intermediate network station comprises sequencing circuitry that controls the processing engine. The processing engine generally includes a plurality of processing element stages arrayed as parallel pipelines. The control system further includes an input header buffer (IHB) and an output header buffer (OHB), the latter comprising circuitry for receiving current transient data processed by the pipelines and for decoding control signals to determine a destination for the processed data. One destination is a feedback path that couples the OHB to the IHB and returns the processed data to the IHB for immediate loading into an available pipeline.

A solid electrolyte separator which is a conductor of sodium ions, separates the interior of the housing into an anode compartment containing an anode and a cathode compartment containing a cathode. The separator is tubular or cup-shaped, having a closed end and an open end, and having a plurality of peripherally spaced radially outwardly projecting ribs or lobes corresponding in number to the corners of the housing. The separator is concentrically located in the housing, with each lobe of the separator being peripherally aligned with, and projecting towards, one of said corners of the housing. Anchoring components anchoring the separator in position relative to the housing, are provided. The anchoring component comprises a first portion spanning a gap between the housing and the separator, between a pair of lobes of the separator, and a second portion protruding from the first portion and engaging a surface of a lobe of the separator. Sodium is provided as active anode material in the anode compartment, with the cell having an operating temperature at which the sodium is molten, while active cathode material is provided in the cathode compartment.

    摘要: In a sodium sulphur cell having beta alumina solid electrolyte material separating an anodic region containing sodium from a cathodic region, the surface of the electrolyte exposed to the sodium is pretreated with a first metal, conveniently lead, which will form an alloy with sodium and the anodic region contains a second metal, e.g. titanium or aluminium which will react with sodium oxide to form a sodium oxide compound of the second metal or an oxide thereof. The combined effect of these features gives a significant improvement in preventing resistance rise of the cell on discharge.

    摘要: The present invention comprises a scheduling assist function (scheduling assist) that enables a processor to schedule events and be notified when these events expire. In addition, the present invention includes features that enable a processor to associate these events with output channels and enable the processor to quickly locate output channels (links) that are available and ready to be serviced. The invention takes advantage of the fact that the scheduling assist can be dedicated exclusively to scanning tables in its own dedicated memories looking for events that have expired and/or output channels that are available and not involve the processor in the search for output channels that are available and ready to be serviced.

    摘要: A system and technique facilitate fast context switching among processor complex stages of a pipelined processing engine. Each processor complex comprises a central processing unit (CPU) core having a plurality of internal context switchable registers that are connected to respective registers within CPU cores of the pipelined stages by a processor bus. The technique enables fast context switching by sharing the context switchable registers between upstream and downstream CPUs to, inter alia, force program counters into the downstream registers. In one aspect of the inventive technique, the system automatically reflects (shadows) the contents of an upstream CPU's context switchable registers at respective registers of a downstream CPU over the processor bus. In another aspect of the invention, the system redirects instruction execution by the downstream CPU to an appropriate routine based on processing performed by the upstream CPU.
