Abstract: A gating circuit for sequentially initiating a plurality of different processes or events in accordance with a predetermined preferential sequence of activation. A plurality of gates are provided, each of which receives an independent input signal for initiating the corresponding process or event. The output signal of each gate circuit is fed back to all of the other gate circuits as an inhibiting signal to prevent any two of the gates from being activated at the same time. The inhibiting signals are applied to the other gates through a plurality of different delay lines which establish a preferential time sequence of gate activation. When one gate has been activated, it inhibits all of the other gates until the corresponding process or event has been completed, at which time the inhibiting signal to the other gates is removed. Due to the difference in delay time, however, the removal of the inhibiting signal occurs in a time sequence which establishes a preferential sequence of gate activation for the remaining gates.

Abstract: A distributed control system and methods of operating such a control system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the distributed control system is operated in a manner in which interrupts are at least temporarily inhibited from being processed to avoid excessive delays in the processing of non-interrupt tasks. In another embodiment, the distributed control system is operated in a manner in which tasks are queued based upon relative timing constraints that they have been assigned. In a further embodiment, application programs that are executed on the distributed control system are operated in accordance with high-level and/or low-level requirements allocated to resources of the distributed control system.

Abstract: A stage lighting system is comprised of a plurality of lamp units which may have diverse communication protocols, functions and data parameters. The stage lighting system is controlled by a modular control system comprised of a modular controller mainframe interconnected with a plurality of control devices which may have diverse communications protocols and data formats. The modular controller mainframe consists of a plurality of input and output modules, mass storage devices and a main processor kernel, all interconnected by a number of data buses. The input modules serve as an interface between the modular controller mainframe and the diverse protocols of the various control devices. Similarly, the output modules serve as an interface between the modular controller mainframe and the diverse protocols of the various types of lamp units. The modular controller mainframe serves as an interface system by providing one or more of said input or output modules with the capability of translating parameter commands, where necessary, to accommodate control devices having diverse communications protocols and output devices having diverse communications protocols, functions and data formats. The system may also include a distributed control system for a lighting system in which two or more fully-functional control devices are online simultaneously to control any function of any of a plurality of luminaries from the control devices. Various methods for arbitrating and resolving conflicts between or among plural control consoles are also used.

Abstract: Task control via a multi-task or real time operating system that reduces the size of a RAM in which a stack region for processing the tasks, as well as an interrupt processing function, is set. An interrupt for interrupting any of a plurality of individual tasks having set priorities at a higher priority than the set priorities of the individual tasks is set. Thereafter, a stack region is set for processing the individual tasks and the interrupt in a writable and readable memory. The size of the stack region is then set to a size necessary for processing the individual tasks and in accordance with a task number, while a separate stack region is set for the interrupt.

Abstract: A method for controlling technical processes, particularly in motor vehicles, in which a microcomputer of a control device processes a complex control program. The complex control program is divided into a number of tasks (A, B, C) which can interrupt each other depending on their priority. To guarantee data consistency within a task (B), it is proposed to provide a local copy (msgx(B)) for global variables (x) which several tasks (A, B, C) can access, in addition to a global copy (msgx). The corresponding task (B) accesses the entry in the global copy (msgx) once during its processing, and updates its local copy (msgx(B)) of the variables (x). Subsequently, this task (B) works with the local copy (msgx(B)).

Abstract: An information recording/reproducing apparatus for recording information on and/or reproducing information from a recording medium using a head. The apparatus includes a single processor and a memory device. The single processor executes data input/output processing and servo processing of a light beam from the head, while alternately switching at a predetermined period. The servo processing is divided into a plurality of blocks which are cyclically executed in turn for each predetermined period and processing required to be executed in each period is set in each block and processing not required to be executed in each period is set in only a specific block. The memory device stores contents of the processing for the respective blocks.
