摘要:
A system comprises a plurality of devices which communicate over a network. At least one of the devices transmits information to at least one other of the devices in information messages over a virtual circuit established therebetween using the network. The other device can transmit information concerning, for example, predetermined conditions in the other device in connection with the virtual circuit using signalling messages, which are transmitted by the other device over the virtual circuit to the one device. The one device includes a plurality of mailboxes associated with the virtual circuit, and the other device, that is, the device that is to transmit signalling messages, includes a transmit signal queue including a plurality of entries each associated with one of the mailboxes. A processor on the other device, to enable transmission of a signalling message including the condition information to be transferred to a mailbox, loads the condition information to be transferred into the transmit signal queue entry associated with the mailbox. The other device, in turn, transmits the signalling message to the one device, which loads the condition information in the appropriate mailbox. A processor on the one device retrieves the condition information from the mailbox to determine the condition information as communicated thereto by the other device.

A memory controller receives reads, memory writes, and cache writes. A pending read is selected and issued to memory. When a response is received from memory, all cache writes are checked to determine whether any correspond to the pending read. If there is a corresponding cache write, the data from the corresponding cache write is used to respond to the pending read. Otherwise, prior memory writes arc checked to determine whether any correspond to the pending read. If there is a corresponding prior memory write, the data from the corresponding prior memory write is used to respond to the pending read. A coherency check from associated caches may also be performed, and the appropriate data returned to the processor that requested the read. Three queues may control the order in which memory access is performed. A read queue that contains read requests is typically given highest priority, and therefore reads are generally serviced first. A wait queue contains read requests and memory write requests, and is incremented to the pending read before the pending read is completed. As the wait queue is incremented, memory writes from the wait queue are entered onto a ready queue. Each request retrieved from the wait queue is checked against pending requests in the ready queue. Cache writes are entered directly onto the ready queue. When either a conflict is detected for the pending ready, or when the ready queue contains a certain amount of requests, the ready queue is flushed.

A fault tolerant power supply comprises a first rectifier and a second rectifier with a boost circuit for correcting line current harmonics. The second rectifier, the boost circuit and output diodes are connected in parallel with the first rectifier. A capacitor circuit is charged through the second rectifier and boost converter when a 240 volt line input is present, but the circuit is charged through the first rectifier when a 120 volt line input is present. With failure of the boost converter circuit or with removal of the boost converter circuit from the system, the capacitor circuit is charged through the first rectifier.

A liquid container is shown having improved pouring and stacking qualities. The container has a body with a cylindrical exterior and opposed end walls. A bottom support extends tangentially from a first point on the cylindrical exterior surface and includes a planar portion which forms a base for supporting the body in an upright position. A transport handle extends from a second point on the cylindrical exterior surface for use in rotating the container between the upright position and the pouring position in which the cylindrical exterior surface rolls over the surrounding support surface during use.

Ivermectin, an antiparasitic agent which is insoluble and unstable in water, is solubilized by the formation of colloidal particles, called micelles, with surface active agents as solubilizers and stabilized by using cosolvents and/or appropriate substrates in the aqueous formulation. The liquid formulations are suitable for use as parenteral or oral administration for the treatment of parasitic infections.

摘要:
A digital content vending machine in which a client on a personal computer, contains an infrastructure and an inventory. The infrastructure and inventory may both be stored in a hard drive, or the inventory may instead be stored on a removable media The infrastructure presents a graphical user interface on the client which metaphorically resembles a village containing a plurality of stores operated by vendors. Customers shop in the stores by selecting assets, constituting the inventory, and sending money and an identifier to a clearing house via a communications system such as telephone, private network, or the Internet. The clearing house returns a key used to at least partially remove a digital wrapper protecting the asset from unauthorized use. A master server may also be provided to update the infrastructure and inventory, and to provide additional keys used to remove the digital wrappers.

A method for collecting user data and constructing a user profile as a digital content vending machine, DCVM is employed which includes an infrastructure and an inventory on a client in a computerized device. The infrastructure presents a graphical user interface on the client which may metaphorically resemble a pillar cover or a plurality of stores operated by vendors. User-customers shop by navigating the pillars or visiting the stores, thus viewing and selecting assets (inventory) and their actions during this are monitored to collect data.

A method for providing offline advertising on a user's personal computerized system that has a display unit and a primary storage unit. A campaign set is provided in the primary storage unit, wherein at least part is stored in the primary storage unit prior to its being received by the user, either as part of or by addition to the personal computerized system. The campaign set includes a plurality of ads each having respective deployment attributes. A viewable window is generated on the display unit, wherein this viewable window includes at least one position. An ad from the campaign set is retrieved based on its respective deployment attributes. And the ad is presented in said position, thereby permitting the user of the personal computerized system to view said ad.
