    摘要: A computer system capable of entering a sleep mode is disclosed. The rate at which the computer switches between a normal state and a stop grant state while in the sleep mode is controllable by a timer. The stop grant state is an intermediate power consumption state between the sleep mode and the normal state. The timer may include a software system management interrupt timer. The system may also include processing to determine the cause of the switch from the stop grant state to the normal state.

    摘要: In this invention, the bus of a computer body is connected to the bus of an expansion unit through a serial interface so as to implement connection wirings in the form of a serial cable. A PCI-PCI bridge for connecting a primary PCI bus to a secondary PCI bus comprises two physically isolated controllers, i.e., a primary PCI serial transfer controller implemented on the PC body side and a secondary PCI serial transfer controller implemented on the docking station side. The two controllers are connected to each other through serial LVDS lines. Transactions are exchanged between the primary PCI bus and the secondary PCI bus by serial transfer between the primary PCI serial transfer controller and the secondary PCI serial transfer controller.

    摘要: A memory access control system is disclosed. In this system, a CPU, a low speed memory, a high speed memory and direct memory access controller (DMAC) are connected to a system bus. A high speed memory is connected through a local bus to the CPU. A control circuit is connected to the local bus, the system bus and the high speed memory. A bidirectional buffer is connected to the local and system buses. When the CPU accesses the high speed memory, the control circuit addresses the high speed memory and disables the buffer. As a result, data can directly be transferred between the CPU and the high speed memory. When the CPU accesses the low speed memory, the control circuit drives the system bus according to a protocol of the system bus, thereby to address the low speed memory and enables the buffer. As a result, data can be transferred between the CPU and the low speed memory, via a route of the local bus, the buffer and the system bus. When the DMAC accesses the high speed memory, the control circuit addresses the high speed memory and enables the buffer according to the system bus protocol. As a result, data can be transferred between the DMAC and the high speed memory, through a route of the local bus, the buffer, and the system bus. When the DMAC accesses the low speed memory, the control circuit disables the high speed memory and the buffer.

    摘要: A PCI-PCI bridge is composed of two physically different controllers, i.e., a primary PCI serial transfer controller arranged at a PC, and a secondary PCI serial transfer controller arranged at a docking station. In data transfer between these controllers, preliminary transmission of block data having a block ID assigned thereto and a return of ACK having the block ID assigned thereto are performed asynchronously. The transmission party can determine which data item is the last the receiving party has received by employing a block ID assigned to NAK. When NAK is received from the receiving party, re-transmission from a block waiting for NAK is started. In this manner, data required to transmit a bus transaction between buses can be transferred accurately and speedily between two controllers.

    摘要: A PCI-PCI bridge which connects a primary PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus and a secondary PCI bus comprises two physically different controllers, a primary PCI serial transfer controller located on a PC (Personal Computer) body side and a secondary PCI serial transfer controller located on a docking station side. Both controllers are connected together by serial LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signal) lines, and data needed to transfer a bus cycle is serially transferred between both controllers. An interrupt signal generated on the docking station side is serially transferred to the primary PCI serial transfer controller from the secondary PCI serial transfer controller via the serial LVDS lines for transferring data in a bus cycle.

    摘要: A gas-tight container such as a glove box maintains a sample under a controlled atmosphere and has a sample chamber formed in a convex portion thereof. The temperature is controlled in the sample chamber by an externally disposed heater. A detector such as a weight detector is disposed in the gas-tight container and has a sample holder for holding a sample under analysis. The detector is movably supported by a movement mechanism so that the sample holder is movable between a first position at which a sample disposed on the sample holder is disposed within the sample chamber and a second position at which a sample disposed on the sample holder is disposed outside the sample chamber, such that the mounting of a sample on the sample holder may be accomplished while the sample holder is disposed outside the sample chamber and a thermal analysis of the sample may be performed while the sample is disposed inside the sample chamber. Gas inlet and outlet ports are provided to form a stream of purge gas to continually replace the atmosphere in the gas-tight chamber and the sample chamber, and the gas produced by the sample during analysis thereof is discharged together with the purge gas through a gas discharge port provided at a tip of the sample chamber.

    摘要: The DSC (DTA) signal waveform measured under an experimental heating rate condition is separated into a base line and individual basic peak elements, and the respective activation energies are calculated corresponding to each of basic peak elements separated. A DSC (DTA) signal that should be obtained at an another heating rate is estimated from the data obtained from the experimental heating rate and it is outputted. In this process, the temperature shift caused by heating rate difference is corrected using the values of activation energies obtained.

    摘要: An analog switch is provided to be connected to the signal lines of a bus of a computer body to be led to an expansion unit. When the signal lines of the bus of the expansion unit are pulled up, a high value is sent to the signal lines of the bus of the computer body. When the signal lines of the bus of the expansion unit are pulled down, a low value is sent to the signal lines of the bus of the computer body. After the potential levels of the signal lines of one bus equal to those of the signal lines of the other bus by the high value or the low value sent, a connection control gate array sets the analog switch on. This can allow the signal lines of both buses to be connected together without causing a transient phenomenon even while the bus cycle is being executed.

    摘要: A computer system has an I/O address space with an ISA bus, and a configuration address space with a PCI bus, further the system including an ISA DMA (Direct Memory Access) controller with two or more DMA channels on the ISA bus, an I/O register implemented in the DMA controller for storing information for DMA transfer on each of the DMA channels, and a register control logic device for controlling read/write-access to the I/O register. The I/O registers are allocated to the I/O address space, and further write-only registers in the I/O registers are allocated to the configuration address space. When a HOST-PCI bridge device generates a configuration read cycle through the configuration address space on the PCI bus, the register control logic device read-accesses the write-only registers, in response to the generated configuration read cycle.
