摘要:
A circuit for converting a system supply voltage having one of two levels to a voltage for use by an integrated analog circuit connected to the system upon power-up. The circuit uses a diode-connected transistor to generate a reference voltage necessary for a regulator to regulate the supply voltage when the supply voltage is first powered up. The regulated supply voltage is doubled to a voltage level sufficient to activate the integrated analog circuit's bandgap voltage. The activated bandgap voltage is thus switched on to supply a more precise reference voltage to the regulator so that the diode-connected transistor may be de-activated to conserve power. The circuit also provides a bypass path for connecting the supply voltage directly to the integrated analog circuit when the supply voltage is the same level as the necessary voltage for the integrated analog circuit.

An on-board regulated voltage up-convertor for converting a first DC voltage at a first node from an electronic system to a second DC voltage for an integrated device at a second node. The convertor comprises reference generator means for generating a predetermined reference voltage at start-up, voltage regulator means coupled to said first node for regulating said first voltage at a predetermined voltage at a third node, voltage multiplier means coupled to said third node and to said second node for multiplying said predetermined voltage to generate an output voltage substantially equal to said second voltage, feedback means coupled to said second node for feeding said output voltage back to said voltage regulator means to adjust the level of said predetermined voltage at said third node according to how said output voltage is relative to said second voltage.

A novel supply discriminator circuit is disclosed for detecting the level of a supply voltage during power-up of a system for configuring an integrated analog circuit such as a PCMCIA card. The circuit compares a reference voltage with a divided down supply voltage and latches the result a predetermined delay later. The delay thus provides timing for the supply voltage to stabilize after power-up to assure accurate detection, as well as noise immunity from other devices.

A circuit for detecting a system reset caused by the turning on of power supply of an electronic system. The circuit comprises: latch means coupled to said power supply having a SET input and an output, said output of said latch means being reset to a first predetermined state during power-on; feedback means for receiving said output from said latch means and said system reset, said feedback means activating its output when both of said first predetermined state from said latch means' output and said system reset are present; delay means coupled to the output from said feedback means and to said latch means, said delay means activating its output a predetermined time after said delay means receiving an activated output from said feedback means, said activated output from said delay means setting said latch means to a second predetermined state such that said feedback means remains de-activated when only said system reset is present without power-on.

A bundle of drawn fibers that have X-ray scintillating unagglommerated nanocrystallite particles in plastic or glass cores of down to 0.1 micron spacing and claddings of X-ray absorbing compounds in the cladding composition. Optional is a cover to the bundle that blocks light from leaving the bundle at the X-ray side while allowing X-rays to pass into the cores. To image the light exiting the fiber bundle at the sub-micron level, light expansion is preferable using either a lens system or a fiber bundle expander.

A method for look-ahead load pre-fetching that reduces the effects of instruction stalls caused by high latency instructions. Look-ahead load pre-fetching is accomplished by searching an instruction stream for load memory instructions while the instruction stream is stalled waiting for completion of a previous instruction in the instruction stream. A pre-fetch operation is issued for each load memory instruction found. The pre-fetch operations cause data for the corresponding load memory instructions to be copied to a cache, thereby avoiding long latencies in the subsequent execution of the load memory instructions.

An externalized entitlement management system comprises a policy administration point that is configured to receive one or more definitions or updates of entitlement policies specifying subjects, actions, and resources, and to update a first entitlement repository coupled to the policy administration point with the definitions or updates in response to receiving the definitions or updates; one or more policy decision points that are coupled to the policy administration point over a network; one or more policy enforcement points that are integrated into one or more respective first application programs, wherein each of the policy enforcement points is coupled to one of the policy decision points; and one or more action handlers in the policy administration point, wherein each of the action handlers is configured to intercept a particular action represented in an update to an entitlement policy, to transform the action into an entitlement update in a form compatible with a native entitlement mechanism of a second application program that does not have one of the policy enforcement points, to send the transformed entitlement update to the second application program, and to cause a rollback of the update of the first entitlement repository if the second application program fails to implement the entitlement update in the native entitlement mechanism.
摘要:
A system and method for determining the temporal resolution of a tomographic imaging device uses an apparatus to drive one or more dynamic phantoms composed of multiple materials. The apparatus is placed at or near the isocenter of the imaging device and the one or more phantoms are moved to produce a plurality of dynamic features, each having a specified frequency. The dynamic features are imaged with the device and the acquired image data corresponding to the dynamic features is analyzed to determine a temporal modulation transfer value at each of the known specified frequencies. The temporal resolution of the imaging device is determined using these temporal modulation transfer values.

A system and a method for policy management in a web services environment includes a policy design tool, a policy storage and a policy manager controller. The policy design tool creates (or updates) a policy for association with a web service. The policy storage stores the policy. The policy manager controller provides an interface for transmission of the policy to a policy enforcement tool and also receives messages relating to the policy from the policy enforcement tool. In addition, a system and method for policy enforcement in a web services environment includes a policy enforcement controller, a policy enforcement repository, an enforcer, a policy enforcement framework, and a policy container. The policy enforcement controller receives and commits a policy and the policy enforcement repository stores the committed policy. The enforcer module receives a request to invoke the policy and the policy enforcement framework determines whether the requested policy is committed in the policy enforcement repository and whether the policy is instantiated. The policy container determines whether the policy is enforceable.

Embodiments of the present invention include a system and method for making it safe to execute downloaded code. The method includes accessing an application, the application making a system call to a library of a computer system for a resource, establishing a requesting thread. The method further includes the library sending a request message to a local security filter; the local security filter validating the requesting thread and returning a digital signature, that uniquely identifies the requesting thread, to the application. The application making a system call to a kernel of the computer system wherein the kernel uses the digital signature from the security filter to validate the requesting thread before allowing access to the requested resource.
