Disclosed herein is a valve. The valve includes a first member having a first port therethrough, a second member in operable communication with the first member having a sealing surface thereon on an inner radial surface of the second member and a second port therethrough that is movable relative to the first member. The valve also has a seal sealingly engaged with the first member and slidably sealingly engagable with the second member, and a support member movably disposed relative to the first member and the second member. The support member has a support surface dimensioned similarly to the sealing surface, and is movable with the second member relative to the first member so that upon such movement the seal is continuously supported by at least one of the sealing surface and the support surface.

A method and apparatus are provided for selecting between a plurality of instruction sets available to a microprocessor. An instruction fetch address is supplied. At least one predetermined bit of the instruction fetch address is used to select between the instruction sets. Once an instruction set has been selected instructions may be fetched and decoded with a decoding scheme appropriate to the instruction set.

A new class of low flammability solvents for use in the electrolyte of a nonaqueous battery comprising a compound of the general formula ##STR1## in which R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group, X is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 acyclic group which can be linear, branched, saturated or unsaturated and Y is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group or a carbonyl group O ##STR2## in which R' is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group. When Y is a carbonyl group a class of diesters is disclosed which are prepared from a dihydroxy alcohol and two molecules of a monocarboxylic acid. When Y is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alkyl group a class of ether-esters is disclosed. The preferred solvents are ethylene glycol diacetate and 2-ethoxyethylacetate. The solvents are preferably used in combination with a cosolvent such as propylene carbonate and most preferably employ additions of more volatile ether cosolvents such as dimethoxyethane or 1,3-dioxolane for increased discharge performance. Soluble salts used in the electrolyte solution are, for example, LiCF.sub.3 SO.sub.3 LiBF.sub.4. The preferred lithium salt is LiCF.sub.3 SO.sub.3.
摘要:
A method is provided for dynamically determining which instructions from a plurality of available instructions to issue in each clock cycle in a multithreaded processor capable of issuing a plurality of instructions in each clock cycle. The method includes the steps of: determining a highest priority instruction from the plurality of available instructions; determining the compatibility of the highest priority instruction with each of the remaining available instructions; and issuing the highest priority instruction together with other instructions compatible with the highest priority instruction in the same clock cycle. The highest priority instruction cannot be a speculative instruction. The effect of this method is that speculative instructions are only ever issued together with at least one non-speculative instruction.
