摘要:
Managing memory includes receiving a request for a memory allocation, determining whether the memory allocation is to be maintained when subsequently initializing memory and saving information about the memory allocation to maintain the memory allocation during subsequently initializing memory. Initializing may be performed as part of special reset mode processing. Special reset mode processing may be performed in response to receiving a reset command. The memory may be shared by a plurality of processing units and the reset command may be issued to reset a first processing unit causing reset of the memory and a second processing unit may use a first allocated memory portion that is maintained when initializing the memory as part of processing for the reset command. Saving may include adding an entry to an allocation list associated with the memory, the entry including a location associated with the memory allocation.

A leg-mounted pouch and coil-up leash that allows hands-free managing of a dog or other animal. A leg pouch can contain a bottom opening through which the leash can be threaded to the animal or a removable leash coil otherwise attached or a separate leg brace removable from the pouch can hold the leash coil. This allows the wearer to control the animal without having to take the hands or eyes off of a weapon or other equipment or stop to change hand or arm positions. In some embodiments, there is a water bottle that can supply liquid to the animal. Also, in other embodiments, a remote-controlled release can free the dog wirelessly for an attack or other purpose. A preferred embodiment can separate into four parts, a leg-worn pouch or pouches, a belt or leg-worn attachment that holds a coil-up leash, a separable water bottle with a delivery hose, and an animal collar with a wirelessly controlled release.

Method and apparatus are provided for compensation of an RF link between a transmitter and amplifier of a communication system. The apparatus comprises a signal source coupled to the transmitter for providing an RF test signal of a first magnitude to the RF link, a test signal measuring apparatus at the RF input of the amplifier for measuring a second magnitude of the test signal reaching the RF input of the amplifier through the RF link, and an electronically adjustable attenuator serially coupled with the RF link and responsive to differences between the first and second magnitudes so as to provide attenuation in an RF communication signal passing into the amplifier from the RF link such that the sum of RF signal loss in the link and the attenuator has a predetermined value.
摘要:
A portable scent detection system for moving air from a search area to an animal's nose that can include a hand-held pickup for collecting air from a target area, an air moving unit containing at least one fan, a return hose coupled between the pickup and the air moving unit, and a scent presentation device worn on the animal's head with a one or more presentation ports near the animal's nose. The preferred animal is a dog; however, any animal which can be trained to indicate detection of a target scent can be used. The air moving unit can be double or single. A single unit can contain one fan, while a double unit can contain a second fan. More fans can be added in series or parallel as needed to provide adequate airflow. The pickup device can also optionally contain a fan. The fans can be battery powered using fixed or rechargeable batteries. The battery or batteries can be external or internal to the unit. The air moving unit can be contained in a waist or backpack for ease in use. The scent pickup can also optionally contain a filter to filter out dust or unwanted particles. A system of hoses normally can be run between the pickup device and the air moving unit and between the air moving unit and the scent presentation device. The air moving unit can optionally be located in a widened section of the hoses or hoses.

摘要:
A computer has instruction pipeline circuitry capable of executing two instruction set architectures (ISA's). A binary translator translates at least a selected portion of a computer program from a lower-performance one of the ISA's to a higher-performance one of the ISA's. Hardware initiates a query when about to execute a program region coded in the lower-performance ISA, to determine whether a higher-performance translation exists. If so, the about-to-be-executed instruction is aborted, and control transfers to the higher-performance translation. After execution of the higher-performance translation, execution of the lower-performance region is reestablished at a point downstream from the aborted instruction, in a context logically equivalent to that which would have prevailed had the code of the lower-performance region been allowed to proceed.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for facilitating consumption of services via a services network are described. Access is provided to a services directory which identifies a plurality of services and at least one connector for facilitating consumption of each of the services via the network. Each connector is operable to mediate communication protocol and business policy differences between a first network end point associated with the corresponding service and a second network end point associated with a consumer of the service. For each of selected ones of the connectors, information accessible via the services directory is provided regarding how to use the connector to consume the corresponding service. For each of selected ones of the services, access to a connector design process is provided via the services directory. The connector design process is operable to facilitate creation of a new connector for the corresponding service, and to specify at least one business process for mediating the business policy differences.

An interoperability system provides highly individualized, on-demand access to a plurality of services by a plurality of users. Each of the plurality of users is associated with one of a plurality of independent enterprises, and the plurality of services are associated with and controlled by a plurality of independent service providers. A directory maps an identity corresponding to each of the users to a policy framework which defines access policies relating to the services. The system can connect with each of the clients and each of the services, and facilitate interaction among the client machines and the services with reference to the directory and the policy framework.
