Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of 3-acetyl-7-oxo-dehydroepiandrosterone (7-keto DHEA) in the preparation of a medicament to treat or ameliorate psychiatric conditions. The present invention relates to methods of using compositions comprising 7-keto DHEA to treat or ameliorate psychiatric conditions. These methods include administering an effective amount of a composition comprising 7-keto DHEA in an acceptable carrier, alone or in combination with other psychiatric drugs to reduce or ameliorate symptoms of a psychiatric condition. This method may be used alone or as an adjunctive treatment for treating a wide variety of psychiatric conditions.
Abstract:
The emulator includes first and second pipelined stages connected through a bidirectional bus for executing source instructions normally executed by a different/source computer in a highly overlapped manner. The first stage includes an emulator chip which performs the function of fetching and decoding each source instruction stored in cache memory resulting in the generation of a number of vector addresses required for executing the instruction by the second stage. The second stage includes a high performance microprocessor chip having on-chip instruction and data caches for storing a plurality of emulation subroutines and data fetched during subroutine execution. In pipelined fashion, the emulator chip fetches and decodes each source instruction which generates a vector branch address which is loaded into the branch vector register while the microprocessor chip fetches and executes emulation subroutines specified by the vector address transferred via the bus for each previously decoded source instruction.
Abstract:
A cache memory for use in a data processing system wherein data words identified by even address numbers are stored separately from data words associated with odd address numbers to enable the simultaneous transfer of two successively addressed data words to or from the cache memory by the transferring of a data word associated with an odd address number and a data word associated with an even address number.
Abstract:
A miniature DIP switch (10) has actuator levers (82) projecting from a side of the housing (12). A plurality of cantilevered moveable contact arms (72) are supported by a section (34) of the base (30), and a plurality of oppositely disposed cantilevered contact arms (62) are supported by a complementary section (32) of the base. A plurality of insulative rotatable lever actuators (80) are supported each by a respective moveable contact arm (72). Each actuator (80) comprises a lever (82) projecting from a respective opening (18) In the housing (12), an arcuate bearing surface (86) engaging an arcuately shaped boss (22) in the housing, a pair of depending side walls (88) each having arcuately shaped ends (90), and a cam protrusion (87) disposed between the depending side walls (88) and engaging its respective moveable contact arm (72). Rotation of the actuator (80) about the arcuately shaped boss (22) causes slideable engagement of the cam protrusion (87) with the moveable contact arm (72) whereby the moveable contact arm (72) is biased into engagement with its respective contact arm (62). A detent notch (77) in each moveable contact arm (72) provides a positive detent "feel" and "snap" upon engagement of the cam protrusion (87) with the notch (77).
Abstract:
In a data processing system, a central subsystem includes a plurality of special purpose processing units with one of the processing units serving as a control processing unit within a central subsystem. The processing units are coupled to a common subsystem bus for the transfer of data, control information, and address information within the central subsystem. Access to the subsystem bus is allocated by a bus control unit which also interfaces the central subsystem with other processing units such as a system memory or system I/O devices that are included in the data processing system.
Abstract:
The present invention comprises novel methods for the use of compositions comprising 7-keto DHEA for treating psychiatric conditions. These methods include administering an effective amount of a composition comprising 7-keto DHEA in an acceptable carrier, alone or in combination with other psychiatric drugs, such as analgesic agents, anticonvulsants, anti-anxiety agents, antidepressants, anti-panic agents, antipsychotic agents, bipolar agents, psychostimulants to reduce or ameliorate symptoms of a psychiatric condition. This method may be used alone or as an adjunctive treatment for treating a wide variety of psychiatric conditions such as stress disorders, anxiety disorders and depressive disorders.
Abstract:
A system includes first and second processing units which are interconnected by a bidirectional bus. The first processing unit is a microprocessor chip programmed for executing procedures stored in an on-chip instruction cache unit. The second processing unit receives requests from an external source such as a system bus. The microprocessor chip includes a branch vector facility which connects to the bus. The second processing unit in response to an external request, generates a vector branch address. The processing unit transfers the vector branch address to the branch vector facility for storage along with setting a write indicator. The microprocessor chip, upon detecting that the write indicator was set, branches to the procedure specified by the branch vector address for executing the instructions of the procedure to carry out those operations required for processing the external request or event.
Abstract:
A cache memory wherein data words identified by odd address numbers are stored separately from data words identified by even address numbers. A group of diagnostic control registers supply signals for controlling the testing of the cache within the cache memory to determine the operability of the individual elements included in the cache memory.
Abstract:
In a data processing system, a system memory includes first memory modules having a data path of a first bit width and second memory modules having a data path of a second bit width with the first bit width being less than the second bit width. A central subsystem includes a cache memory unit and processing units for initiating requests for data transfers of the second bit width between the system memory and the subsystem processing units. An interface coupling the system memory and the central subsystem for bidirectional data transfers generates, in response to a memory request of a second bit width wherein the requested data is stored in a first memory module, additional memory requests until sufficient data has been retrieved from the system memory to satisfy the central subsystem request. The interface also monitors data transfers between the system processing units and the system memory and transfers the data transfers to the central subsystem in order to update and to retain the integrity of the cache memory in the central subsystem.
