For use in a processor having an instruction cache, an instruction memory and an external synchronous memory, a memory management mechanism, a method of managing memory and a digital signal processor incorporating the mechanism or the method. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes an external memory request abort circuit coupled to the external synchronous memory and an instruction cache invalidator associated with the external memory request abort circuit. In this embodiment, the external memory request abort circuit aborts a request to load an instruction from the external synchronous memory before the information is loaded into the instruction cache. Additionally, the instruction cache invalidator invalidates the instruction cache when address spaces of the instruction memory and the external synchronous memory overlap and the processor switches between the instruction memory and the external synchronous memory.

Segmented scaffolds composed of disconnected scaffold segments are delivered to an implant site on a delivery balloon. The segments are crimped to the balloon and separated from each other by gaps. When the balloon is inflated the gaps between the disconnected scaffold segments stays constant Pillowed or banded balloons are used to deliver the segments.

A method and apparatus for testing a plurality of electronic devices formed on a large area substrate is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus performs a test on the substrate in one linear axis in at least one chamber that is slightly wider than a dimension of the substrate to be tested. Clean room space and process time is minimized due to the smaller dimensions and volume of the system.

A method and apparatus for supporting a substrate is generally provided. In one aspect, an apparatus for supporting a substrate includes a support plate having a first body disposed proximate thereto. A first pushing member is radially coupled to the first body and adapted to urge the substrate in a first direction parallel to the support plate when the first body rotates. In another aspect, a load lock chamber having a substrate support that supports a substrate placed thereon includes a cooling plate that is moved to actuate at least one alignment mechanism. The alignment mechanism includes a pushing member that urges the substrate in a first direction towards a center of the support. The pushing member may additionally rotate about an axis perpendicular to the first direction.

A mechanism for resource allocation in a processor, a method of allocating resources in a processor and a digital signal processor incorporating the mechanism or the method. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes: (1) categorization logic, associated with an earlier pipeline stage, that generates instruction type information for instructions to be executed in the processor and (2) priority logic, associated with a later pipeline stage, that allocates functional units of the processor to execution of the instructions based on the instruction type information.

For use in an instruction queue having a plurality of instruction slots, a mechanism for queueing and retiring instructions. In one embodiment, the mechanism includes a plurality of tag fields corresponding to the plurality of instruction slots, and control logic, coupled to the tag fields, that assigns tags to the tag fields to denote an order of instructions in the instruction slots. In addition, the mechanism includes a tag multiplexer, coupled to the control logic, that changes the order by reassigning only the tags.

A modular connector assembly comprises a main shell assembly having an aperture therethrough defining a inside surface. An electrical circuit assembly is disposed in the main shell aperture and includes a filter module and a transient suppression module each in electrical engagement with a plurality of electrical terminals. The filter and transient suppression module each define a conductive subassembly shell and each include grounding means disposed to engage the inside surface of the aperture in the main shell assembly in electrical grounding contact. Both the filter and transient suppression modules each define a first and second guide means disposed to engage first and second aligning means of the main shell member permitting facile precision assembly.

The prefabricated universal structural steel panel and panel system includes a generally elongated rectangular panel having an opposed exterior and interior surfaces, an opposed first and second end portions, and an opposed first and second side edge portions. At least two stiffening ribs are integrally formed in the panel and extend longitudinally between the first and second end portions. The first side edge portion has a beveled configuration and is integrally connected to an elongated male connecting member. An elongated female connecting member is integrally connected to the second side edge portion and extends adjacent the interior surface to define a fold. The elongated male connecting member of one panel is cooperatively profiled to mate with the female connecting member of an adjacent panel.
