    摘要: A method and apparatus for facilitating communications in a hierarchical network between slave servers communicating in a first data format and slave servers communicating in a second data format. A second version of network software which coexists with an existing first version of network software is installed in a master server. The first version of the network software processes data in a first format and the second version of the network software processes data in a second format different from the first format. The master server is provided with a first converting means for converting the first format data to the second format data when a first predetermined event is detected, and a second converting means for converting the second format data to the first format data when a second predetermined event is detected. The master server facilitates the communication and coexistence of slave servers running the first version of the network software with slave servers running the second version of the network software.

    摘要: A wearable hypermedium information retrieval system for displaying predetermined digitized data, having a computer having an I/O port; a large capacity information storage and retrieval device interfaced with the I/O port adapted to receive a memory medium containing the predetermined digitized data, the storage and retrieval device being adapted to access the data on the memory medium and to provide the data to the I/O port means, the predetermined digitized data being further organized in a hypermedium format for hypermedium access and retrieval; a virtually hands-free command control device presenting no interference to ordinary use of the hands of the user to provide input commands from the user to the computer via the I/O port means; and a headset adapted to be worn by the user and a head mounted image display supported by the headset having a virtual image display having an eye-piece adapted to be positioned in front of one eve of the user and to display video display information from the computer. Also added are an audio output having an earphone, and a real-time text to speech conversion module adapted to receive speech data from the computer and to provide audio input to a sound transducer in the earphone. Also, the storage and retrieval portion provides read/write capability for the data; and the virtual hands-free command controller has a voice recognition and decoding module for receiving decoding and providing for storage for voice-provided data. The system can be part of a network, can have at least one PCMCIA card slot, interfaces with other devices (like bar code readers, measuring tools, and IEEE cables), provides global positioning information, and includes retinal input control. Importantly, the hypermedium format involves hypertext, hyperpix, and combinations of the two to provide information in a logical, intuitive, computer-accessible format for access by users who understand information more graphically than verbally.

    摘要: A controlling application generates objects and handles to represent units within a network. To generate an object representing a device, subobjects for each subunit within the device are assembled into the object representing the device. When the unit reports its self-identifying information, the controlling application determines which subunits are included within the unit. Subobjects representing these subunits are copied from a subobject library and assembled into the object representing this device. Preferably, a handle includes a pointer value pointing to an address of the corresponding object for the device.

    摘要: A computer system and method is described for improved storage of computer system configuration information. A ROM module includes both a BIOS ROM portion and a configuration ROM portion. The configuration ROM includes a backup copy of the system configuration parameters stored in a battery-powered configuration CMOS RAM. If the configuration CMOS RAM fails to provide valid configuration data, the contents of the configuration ROM are used to configure the computer system. If the contents of the configuration ROM are also invalid, default configuration values are provided by the BIOS ROM. User modification of the default values may be effected through a setup utility program, and the configuration ROM then programmed accordingly.

    摘要: A programmable controller includes memory for storing a ladder logic control program having a plurality of ladder logic instruction rungs. Each rung begins with a start of rung (SOR) instruction. A processor is coupled to the memory for executing the ladder logic control program. User interrupts are disabled during execution of the rungs. During execution of the SOR instruction, a predetermined register, such as a MCR register, is read causing simultaneous enabling of user interrupts which overrides the previously disabled user interrupts to allow the processor to receive an interrupt request signal. The interrupt request signal is received before the read function of the predetermined register has completed.
