    摘要: An electronic data storage system including a memory, a plurality of magnetic disk units, and a controller. The memory contains an index cross-referencing logical address with physical addresses, an obsolete list and a free list. In response to a "write " command, the controller selects a physical address according to which segment can be used the most quickly, appends a tag to the data to be written, and writes the data to the selected segment. Appropriate entries are made in the index and the free list. The system recovers from memory loss by using a checkpoint log and a set of checkpoint segments on the disk that together contain backups of the index and other critical information needed to restore the system. Group indices are used for roll-back groups; operations on data in a group are invisible outside the group until after a "commit " command is issued.

    摘要: A method of making material in the form of a fine wire or thin strip or sheet suitable for use as electrical conductors comprises: forming an ingot substantially consisting of an alloy of gold and one or more of the metals titanium, lutetium, zirconium, scandium and hafnium, the amount of the or each of said one or more of the metals in the alloy lying in the range from substantially 0.1 at % to an upper limit comprising the atomic percentage of that metal corresponding to the maximum solubility of that metal in the alloy; solution heat treating the ingot and then quenching the ingot from the solution heat treatment temperature; mechanically working the ingot to have a maximum dimension in at least one direction of not greater than 250 .mu.m; and heat treating the resulting material at a temperature below its solvus temperature from an ambient atmosphere containing oxygen and/or nitrogen in the ambient atmosphere. The conductors exhibit high tensile strength and resistance to elongation under load and retention of such properties after being heated to elevated temperatures for extended periods of time, such as to render them particularly suitable for use as bond-wires in integrated circuit packages.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining when all packets of a message sent over a computer network by a source computer have arrived at a destination computer includes a counter located at the source computer for storing an initial value and for assigning a delta value to each packet in the message, where the last packet stores a delta value that is equal to the counters initial value minus number of packets previously sent modulo the counter range; and includes an accumulator located at the destination computer for extracting the delta value from each packet of the message. The destination computer is notified that all packets in the message have arrived only when the sum of the extracted delta values stored in the accumulator is equal to zero modulo the capacity of the accumulator.

    摘要: Random bits are written successively into the cells of a random access memory (RAM) system, then complemented, through a first sequence of cell addresses distributed substantially uniformly throughout all the cells of the memory. Through an opposite address sequence, the contents of the cells are read and then complemented. Finally, through the initial sequence of cell addresses, the contents of the cells are again read. Differences between read and expected cell contents identify memory cell faults. The random bits preferably are generated by a softward implemented, reversible pseudorandom sequence generator, and the uniform address sequence is generated by an address hasher programmed with an address function that exercises all address lines essentially equally.

    摘要: An entropy source and a random number (RN) generator are disclosed. In one aspect, a low-energy entropy source includes a magneto-resistive (MR) element and a sensing circuit. The MR element is applied a static current and has a variable resistance determined based on magnetization of the MR element. The sensing circuit senses the resistance of the MR element and provides random values based on the sensed resistance of the MR element. In another aspect, a RN generator includes an entropy source and a post-processing module. The entropy source includes at least one MR element and provides first random values based on the at least one MR element. The post-processing module receives and processes the first random values (e.g., based on a cryptographic hash function, an error detection code, a stream cipher algorithm, etc.) and provides second random values having improved randomness characteristics.
