A disclosed fixing device includes a fixer application unit configured to apply a fixer containing a softener, capable of softening resin by dissolving or swelling at least a part of the resin, and water to resin particles formed on a recording medium such that the resin particles are fixed on the recording medium. The fixing unit may further include an anti-tack agent application unit configured to apply a liquid anti-tack agent immiscible with the softener to surfaces of the resin particles that are mixed with the softener by the application of the fixer containing the softener.

A computer system including a plurality of processing nodes, at least one resource provided for use by any of the processing nodes and a plurality of register sets. Each register set is provided in each of the processing nodes for storing in parallel use status information indicating whether the resource is in exclusive use status or not. The computer system can also include a plurality of request issue circuits, each being provided in each of the processing nodes, for issuing individually requests for exclusive use of the resource, a message exchanging circuit for serializing requests issued by the request issue circuits into a serialized order and broadcasting the request to all of the processing nodes in the serialized order and a plurality of status control circuits. Each status control circuit is provided in each of the processing nodes corresponding to each of the register sets to update individually a corresponding register set depending on use status information stored in the corresponding register set and each of the requests for exclusive use of the resource received at a corresponding node.
摘要:
In a parallel processor system comprising a plurality of processor elements constituting a network, a source processor element wishing to broadcast data to a plurality of destination processor elements sends a broadcast request message containing the target data to a broadcast exchanger. The broadcast exchanger converts the received message into a broadcast message and sends it over the network to the destinations. A plurality of broadcast request messages, if transmitted parallelly to the broadcast exchanger, are serialized thereby so that only one broadcast message will be transmitted at a time over the network. This prevents deadlock from occurring between different broadcast messages. The routes for transmitting broadcast request messages and those for transmitting broadcast messages are arranged so as not to overlap with one another. This suppresses deadlock between any broadcast request message and broadcast message. The broadcast exchanger is replaced alternatively with one of the partial networks. These schemes all apply where long messages are transmitted through worm-hole routing.

An operation complete signal and a convergence result signal from each processor are transferred to the X-direction interconnection switches, AND of these signals is obtained in switch units in each interconnection switch, the signal is sent out to all the Y-direction interconnection switches through a synchronizing signal relay switch and the like in each relay switch, AND of these signals is obtained in each switch unit in the interconnection switches, and the result thereof is transferred to each processor through each synchronizing signal relay switch. With this, a logical product of an operation complete signal and a logical product of a convergence result signal from all the processors are sent in parallel to all the processors.

Crossbar switches having 2.sup.n +1 ports and computing clusters are arranged so that each crossbar switch is connected to 2.sup.n processors. Auxiliary processors that perform parallel processing administrative functions and input/output functions are arranged at the remainder ports of the crossbar switches. Exchangers are provided to connect each processor and its crossbar switches. Parallel processing may be executed by the 2.sup.n processors independently of processing by the auxiliary processors for speed. One mounting unit is formed of a crossbar switch of one dimension, the processor group connected to that crossbar switch, and all of the crossbar switches of a different dimension that are connected to one of the processors of the one processor group. The parallel processor system is mounted by just combining mounting units with no need for special LSIs or frames or the like on which to mount the crossbar switches and without the interfaces that connect the processor and the network becoming concentrated in one place.

A vehicle polishing method includes a first polishing step of moving a portal or gate-type travel frame travellable forwardly and backwardly in one of opposite travelling direction over a stationary vehicle to polish the body surface of the vehicle by rotary brush means mounted on the travel frame during such movement while applying a foamy primary treating agent containing an anionic surfactant onto the body surface by a primary treating agent applicator mounted on the travel frame, and a second polishing and rinsing step of moving the travel frame in the other travelling direction and polishing the body surface by the rotary brush means while applying an aqueous wax containing a cationic surfactant onto the body surface by an aqueous wax applicator, and ejecting fresh water onto the body surface by a rinsing unit mounted on the travel frame to wash away the excessive wax from the body surface. After termination of the first polishing step and before starting of the second polishing and rinsing step, the cationic surfactant-containing aqueous wax is applied to the rotary brush means for a predetermined period of time. The apparatus for carrying out such polishing method specifically includes an aqueous wax applicator which has nozzle means adapted to directly eject an aqueous way toward the rotary brush means.
