摘要： To provide a pulse transmission line control system that can prevent a malfunction of microcomputers included in an apparatus configured by the microcomputers that have a function of decoding an electrical signal pulse generated from an infrared code sent from an infrared remote control unit. A main microcomputer A (1) controls on/off states of a switch (6) provided in a pulse transmission line (5) and turns on the switch (6) only when a sub-microcomputer B(2) performs a process on the infrared code sent form an infrared remote control unit (3).

摘要： Multiple non-blocking FIFO queues are concurrently maintained using atomic compare-and-swap (CAS) operations. In accordance with the invention, each queue provides direct access to the nodes stored therein to an application or thread, so that each thread may enqueue and dequeue nodes that it may choose. The prior art merely provided access to the values stored in the node. In order to avoid anomalies, the queue is never allowed to become empty by requiring the presence of at least a dummy node in the queue. The ABA problem is solved by requiring that the next pointer of the tail node in each queue point to a “magic number” unique to the particular queue, such as the pointer to the queue head or the address of the queue head, for example. This obviates any need to maintain a separate count for each node.

摘要翻译： 使用原子比较和交换（CAS）操作同时维护多个非阻塞FIFO队列。 根据本发明，每个队列提供对存储在其中的节点对应用或线程的直接访问，使得每个线程可以将其可选择的节点排队并出队。 现有技术仅提供对存储在节点中的值的访问。 为了避免异常，通过要求队列中至少存在一个虚拟节点，不允许队列变空。 ABA问题是通过要求每个队列中的尾部节点的下一个指针指向特定队列所特有的“魔术数字”来解决的，例如，指向队列头的指针或队列头的地址。 这不需要为每个节点维护一个单独的计数。

摘要： A system for automated configuration of computer peripherals. Peripherals are equipped with identification codes, which can be read by a computer, and which identify the type of peripheral. The computer stores a look-up table of configuration modes required for each peripheral type. When the computer polls a peripheral, and learns, from the identification code, that a peripheral type has changed, the computer orders a re-configuration of necessary equipment, to accommodate the change.

摘要： The present invention provides a method in a computer system of integrating a compression system with an operating system. The computer system preferably comprises at least a memory device and one storage device. A user-supplied device driver is provided for storage devices that are not supported by the computer system to enable the computer system to communicate with the storage devices. In response to initialization of the computer system, the operating/compression system is loaded into the memory device and begins executing before any user-supplied device drivers are loaded into the memory device. Any compressed volume files located on the computer system are assigned drive letters at this time. When the user-supplied device drivers are loaded into the memory device, drive letters are assigned to the various storage devices. A drive letter conflict resolution scheme is provided to resolve conflicts that occur when the operating system attempts to assign a drive letter. The compression system assigns drive letters to compressed volume files (in the case where a compressed drive is created from free space on an existing drive) or to host drives (in the case where the contents of an existing drive are compressed).

摘要： This invention relates to a system and method for determining the media type of a removable magnetic media, such as a floppy diskette or tape. The system performs an analysis of the media type of the removable magnetic media only after a data error is returned. If the computer does not return a data error, the system assumes that the removable magnetic media currently being read is the same media type as the previously read removable magnetic media
