摘要： A power management circuit for managing low power modes in a computer system, which implements four power modes, from highest power consumption to lowest power consumption: RUN mode, SLEEP mode, IDLE mode, and STANDBY mode. The computer system includes a PCI bus and an ISA bus, with a CPU-PCI bridge to connect the host bus and the PCI bus and a PCI-ISA bridge to connect the PCI bus and the ISA bus. The power management circuit transitions from SLEEP mode to IDLE mode by first determining if the CPU-PCI bridge is parked on the PCI bus and if it is in SLEEP mode. The power management circuit then waits for one refresh period and for all internal queues to empty before checking again to determine if the CPU-PCI bridge is still parked on the PCI bus and if it is still in SLEEP mode. If true, the CPU-PCI bridge transitions to IDLE mode. The power management circuit also performs low power refresh cycles when it is in IDLE or STANDBY mode. In those modes, the memory controller in the CPU-PCI bridge is disabled to conserve power. The power management circuit performs the refresh cycles based off an external asynchronous clock. Further, the power management circuit drives certain PCI bus signals to a certain state to avoid leakage current due to the existence of a mixture of 3.3-volt and 5-volt components connected to the PCI bus.

摘要： A memory controller which makes maximum use of any processor pipelining and runs a large number of cycles concurrently. The memory controller can utilize different speed memory devices and run each memory device at its desired optimal speed. The functions are performed by a plurality of simple, interdependent state machines, each responsible for one small portion of the overall operation. As each state machine completes its function, it notifies a related state machine that it can now proceed and proceeds to wait for its next start or proceed indication. The next state machine operates in a similar fashion. The state machines responsible for the earlier portions of a cycle have started their tasks on the next cycle before the state machines responsible for the later portions of the cycle have completed their tasks. The memory controller is logically organized as three main blocks, a front end block, a memory block and a host block, each being responsible for interactions with its related bus and components and interacting with the various other blocks for handshaking. The memory controller utilizes differing speed memory devices, such as 60 ns and 80 ns, on an individual basis, with each memory device operating at its full designed rate. The speed of the memory is stored for each 128 kbyte block of memory and used when the memory cycle is occurring to redirect a state machine, accomplishing a timing change of the memory devices.

摘要： A snow deflection system for a snowplow includes an arcuate foil and a preferred belt. Both the foil and the belt are attached to the moldboard of the plow so that the preferred belt keeps the plowed snow close enough to the moldboard to allow the arcuate foil to direct the flow of snow and air, which blows over the top of the moldboard, down and away from the plow vehicle.

摘要： A microwave oven particularly suitable for laboratory analytical use is described. The oven is designed for chemical digestion and the drying of materials to very low moisture levels. The oven utilizes a rotating platform to move the material being subjected to microwave radiation through the oven chamber to ensure uniform contact of the microwaves with the material. Radiation mixers and radiation isolators are also used to disperse radiation in the oven and absorb excess radiation.

摘要： An apparatus for controllably heating material, such as a material to be analyzed for volatiles or non-volatiles contents, directly and indirectly by microwave radiation, includes a chamber, in which the material to be heated is placed, a source of microwave radiation, for radiating onto materials in the chamber and for controllably heating such a material, and a support for such material, which support includes a matrix of a material which transmits microwave radiation, and also includes particulate material therein which absorbs microwave radiation. The absorptive material is one that has a Curie temperature, above which it is transmissive of microwave radiation, so as thereby to prevent excessive heating of the support and the supported material which is to be heated. The matrix material is stable and form-retaining at the Curie temperature of the dispersed material. Preferably the support matrix will be of a silicone rubber or of a polyfluoroalkylene polymer, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, and the dispersed material will be a ferrite, garnet or a mixture thereof. The apparatus may include a turntable for one or more supports, an automatic electronic balance, computerized controls and readout means. Also within the invention are the described support, and processes for heating and drying, in a preferred embodiment of which processes a particulate diluent or dispersant for the sample being treated is employed to prevent overheating of the sample.

摘要： Apparatuses and processes are described for the automatic determinations of fat contents of foods, such as dairy products, e.g., milk, wherein automatic density and solids content determining apparatuses are employed, together with a computer, to determine the fat contents of food samples being tested. The density determining apparatus is preferably one which is electromagnetically excited to vibrate at its natural resonant frequency, so that from the change in such frequency, compared to a control, the mass of the sample may be determined. The means for measuring the solids content is preferably an automatic volatility computer in which electromagnetic radiation (microwave energy) is employed to drive off the volatile material (usually mostly water) in the sample, which is automatically weighed before and after such volatilization. Preferably, a microcomputer in the automatic volatility computer is employed to compute fat content from electronic feeds to it from the density and the solids content determining apparatuses.

摘要： A method and apparatus is described for improving the weighing accuracy of sensitive automatic balances when weighing heated substances. This is accomplished by substantially eliminating or reducing convection currents from interfering with and fluctuating the weight being sensed. An air barrier shield is used to cover the balance plate without contacting or touching the balance, thereby eliminating convection air currents from interfering with the movement of the balance. The air barrier is permeable to microwave radiation and capable of absorbing moisture and other volitilized substances while being substantially impermeable to air currents. Glass fiber matting or padding is particularly useful for forming the air barrier enclosure. The invention is particularly applicable to analytical determinations which require microwave heating of the substance to remove volatiles and the requirement to accurately and sensitively weigh the substances while still hot using an electrical balance.
