A method for allocating buffer capacity includes determining at least one characteristic of a first input/output (I/O) device that is coupled to a memory device interface, the memory device interface being configured to enable data transfers between the I/O device and a memory device, and buffering data corresponding to the first I/O device in a first portion of a buffer of the memory device interface, a size of the first portion being responsive to the at least one characteristic of the first I/O device.

A seeding apparatus and a method is disclosed in which a seed spacing variability value is determined and displayed to the operator during a planting operation. Any method of determining variability among a set of data can be used to determine the seed spacing variability value. Three examples are shown: standard deviation; coefficient of variation; and coefficient of uniformity. Data can be stored for later comparison with harvest yield data to determine the effects of seed spacing on yield.

A direct memory access (DMA) controller for controlling memory access operations in a memory. During a memory access operation, the DMA controller executes a chain of DMA commands stored in a memory and having a respective address. The DMA controller can enter a self-linking mode where additional DMA commands can be appended to the end of the command chain without terminating the memory access operation, regardless of whether the last DMA command of the command chain has been executed by the DMA controller. The self-linking mode is entered when a link-address provided by the last DMA command matches a code. The code to cause the DMA controller to enter the self-linking mode may be a link address which points to the last executed DMA command, or alternatively, a predetermined bit pattern. The DMA controller exits the self-linking command and continues the memory access operation upon detecting a new link address for a new DMA command that is to be appended to the command chain. The new link address may be detected by having the DMA controller periodically check the link address of the last executed DMA command.
摘要:
A memory system and method for allocating and accessing memory. The memory system includes first and second addressable memory regions coupled to a memory controller. The memory controller includes a register to store a respective offset value and values defining portions of the first and second addressable memory regions allocated to first and second logical memory spaces. A first portion of the first addressable memory region is allocated to a first requested memory space, and a second portion of the first addressable memory region is allocated to a second requested memory space. Any remaining portions of the first and second requested memory spaces are remapped to the second addressable memory region. The memory controller is adapted to access the first addressable memory region in response to receiving a memory address for a location within the first portions of the first and second memory spaces and to access the second addressable memory region in response to receiving a memory address for a location within the second portions of the first and second memory spaces.

A head testing apparatus is provided for testing a data recording head. The apparatus includes a test volume, a magnetic field source, a holder and a thermoelectric source. The test volume is adapted to receive the head, and the magnetic field source is positioned to generate a magnetic field within the test volume. The holder is adapted to hold the head and position the head within the test volume. The thermoelectric source is positioned to contact the head when the head is positioned within the test volume by the holder.

The invention is a stacked tube component feeder with changeable parts to accommodate different size components. A feed station, including a channel, is mounted on a base. The feed station includes a slot for holding component tubes. A changeable component track is mounted in the channel, and a singulator is mounted on the component track to prevent the feeding of more than one component at a time to a changeable component nest. A removable nest is mounted on the base for receiving components from the removable component track, and transports the component between first and second positions on the base.

For a tape contact face to be formed in a thin-film magnetic head having at least one transducing element, by removing material, a reference plane (29) corresponding to the tape contact face is detected by means of a plurality of markers (27A-27J) juxtaposed in a layer and extending transversely to the tape contact face, which markers have first end portions (27A1-27J1) pointing in one direction and second, spatially separated end portions (27A2-27J2) pointing in an opposite direction, with the second end portions located at different distances from the reference plane, inclined with respect to the reference plane, and adjoining each other steplessly.

Methods of solution processing of rigid chain and ladder polymers to films, coatings, or fibers from isotropic or anisotropic solutions in aprotic organic solvents containing Lewis acids are disclosed.
摘要:
A unitary, metal vent apparatus for securement to the roof of a building. The apparatus includes a one-piece hollow first member having a series of vent holes near its top portion. The apparatus also includes a one-piece second member which forms a concentric cap for the first member and which protects the upper portion of the first member from the elements, but does not impair or contact the vent holes. Preferably, the cap is spun onto the first member for rigid securement thereto.
摘要:
A system and method for receiving an input bit stream defining a non-interlaced video image and for producing concurrently an output bit stream defining an interlaced representation of such image. Intermediate storage of every other input raster line in a first-in/first-out oriented memory permits the output of the interlaced signal to be interleaved with the receipt of the non-interlaced input, and the interleaving of the input and output operations permits the use of a memory module having a capacity less than that required to store a complete raster line of input information. Provision is also made for synchronizing the output operation to U.S. or European standards.
