摘要： A superconducting logic circuit is configured by using two kinds of input-output type quantum flux parametrons (QFP), that is, a periodically excited input-output type QFP and an arbitrarily excited input-output type QFP. The periodically excited QFP is excited by periodically varying exciting magnetic flux to amplify a binary magnetic flux. The arbitrarily excited QFP is excited by magnetic flux output signals of upstream QFPs.

摘要： An asynchronous transfer mode switching system for improving switching throughput and averting complicated and difficult timing design. In operation, synchronous cell strings from external transmission lines are converted to asynchronous cell strings which are switched by a space-division switch array. The switched asynchronous cell strings are reconverted to synchronous cell strings for output onto external transmission lines. The space-division switch array comprises a plurality of unit switches in stages, each unit switch having input terminals and output terminals. The unit switches each include a timing control circuit that causes a switching operation to start upon detecting two states concurrently: a stored state of a cell to be switched, and a storage-ready state of a destination for the switched cell. The scheme allows the system to operate in an asynchronous manner.

摘要： The disk controller has a plurality of channel control units, a plurality of cache memories, a plurality of disk control units, and a plurality of internal switch units. Each channel control unit or disk control unit sends to one of the cache memory units a request packet requesting execution of processing. The cache memory unit sends a response packet in response to the received request packet. Each internal switch unit monitors the request packet sent from the channel control unit or disk control unit, and judges whether or not the response packet to the request packet has passed through the internal switch unit within a first given time period since the passage of the request packet. In the case where the response packet has not passed through the internal switch unit within the first given time period, the internal switch unit sends a failure notification.
