摘要： Systems and methods for operating software data structures are provided. In one embodiment, lock-free dual queues with conditional synchronization and time-outs are described. The lock-free dual queues of various embodiments of the present invention are accessible by one or more consumer threads and one or more producing threads. The consuming threads are able to access and remove elements from the queue while the producing threads are able to access and add elements to the queue. In some cases, a thread may be both a consuming thread and a producing thread. The add and remove operations of various embodiments of the present invention, generally operate by using conditional synchronization primitives which modifies a value in shared memory to a specified value if the previous value is what was expected.

摘要： A gas discharge lamp power supply having a base, a pair of opposed side walls extending from the base, and opposed first and second end walls extending from the base between the opposed side walls. The first end wall has a sloped wall extending angularly between the side walls, and two input terminals are mounted on the sloped wall. In another embodiment, the power supply has a control with a nonvolatile memory for storing an error code in response to a detected fault condition, thereby permitting the error code to be displayed upon power being removed from and then, subsequently reapplied.

摘要： A condition management system monitors a variety of biological and environmental conditions. Information collected with respect to conditions monitored are processed to create an information hierarchy that controls the operation of various alert devices. Important or critical conditions take precedent over less critical conditions both in terms of the nature of the alert and the processing order.

摘要： A method of supporting condition synchronization for a shared data structure so as to provide concurrent access. A protocol is provided between a thread creating a request as part of a remove operation and a thread fulfilling a request as part of an add operation. The protocol provides for the thread making such a request to check the request_value field of the request node and then wait on its own condition variable. A requesting thread sets a requestor_id field of a request node with a value that identifies the thread. A fulfilling thread sets a request_value field of a request node with the address of the data node with the value, and then signals the requesting thread as identified by the requestor_id field. Upon receiving the signal, the requesting thread wakes up and retrieves the value from the data node pointed to it by the request_value field of the request node. If a wait times out, the requesting thread attempts to signal that the wait timed out by performing a CAS operation on the request_value field to modify it from zero to non-zero. If the CAS operation succeeds, the request timed out and the remove operation return failure. If the CAS operation fails, the request was fulfilled since the fulfilling thread set the request_value field with the address of the data node.

摘要翻译： 支持共享数据结构的条件同步以提供并发访问的方法。 在作为删除操作的一部分创建请求的线程和作为添加操作的一部分的履行请求的线程之间提供协议。 该协议提供线程请求，以检查请求节点的request_value字段，然后等待自己的条件变量。 请求线程使用标识线程的值设置请求节点的requestor_id字段。 一个满足的线程将具有数值节点地址的请求节点的request_value字段设置为具有该值的信号，然后通过requestor_id字段标识请求的线程。 在接收到信号时，请求线程唤醒并从请求节点的request_value字段指向的数据节点中检索该值。 如果等待超时，请求线程尝试通过在request_value字段上执行CAS操作来将其等待超时，以将其从零修改为非零。 如果CAS操作成功，请求超时，删除操作返回失败。 如果CAS操作失败，则满足请求，因为履行线程使用数据节点的地址设置request_value字段。

摘要： A hand-drawn cart for transporting one or more containers has raised sides and a rear ramp that may be locked in a vertical transporting position or unlocked and rotated into an unloading position. A recycling bin or other containers may be stored upon the cart, loaded with recyclables, then the cart may be rolled to a curbside collection location with the ramp locked. The ramp is unlocked and lowered at the collection location, the front end of the cart is lifted to slide a container down the ramp, the cart is drawn forward to withdraw the ramp from beneath the container, and the ramp is rotated back up to a locked position.

摘要： A method and apparatus for emulating operation of a complex circuit within a system, thereby creating a virtual system, is achieved within a system that includes a central processing unit (CPU), system memory, at least one functional module, and an emulator that includes a circuit simulator, a virtual coupler, and an evaluation module. The circuit simulator simulates the functionality of the complex circuit, includes an individual system identifier, and is operably coupled to, and substantially controlled by, the at least one functional module. At system start-up, or at initiation of a simulation test, the system determines its configuration by obtaining the individual system identifiers of each system element. Because the circuit simulator has a system identifier, it is treated by the system as a real entity. As such, when the CPU requests the function of the complex circuit to be performed, the CPU provides its request to the at least one functional module. The requests are also received by the virtual coupler which interprets the requests as being directed to the circuit simulator. At this point, the virtual coupler couples the at least one functional module to the circuit simulator such that operational instructions and/or operand data processed by the functional module are provided to the circuit simulator. The circuit simulator processes the operand data based on the operational instructions and provides the manipulated data back to the system.
