摘要:
An inter-OS control software for switching OS's in operation executed on a single CPU is installed, and plural OS's are made alternately executed. A control program is executed exclusively on one OS, which controls the controlled apparatus. A supervisory control program and a development environment program are executed on another OS, and a memory space is divided so as to make no effect for the operation of the control program. A higher real-time performance and reliability can be established with a single CPU architecture.

A computer system and method for enabling memory expansion without shutting off the computer system are disclosed. The computer system has a dual memory configuration and supports memory insertion and extraction while being on-line. The memory content of one system may be copied to the memory of another system according to a predetermined priority or after a predetermined delay. Memory may be used efficiently during the insertion or extraction by securing a status management table expansion area in an expanded portion of memory. Memory may be expanded in computer systems that do not have an open memory slot by replacing the installed memory with a memory having a larger capacity.

A main memory managing arrangement involves allotting a request program to one of three distinct areas of main memory by looking in an area managing table which stores head addresses and the capacities of the respective areas. The areas allocated in main memory correspond to a single OS area, a single first class program area and a single second class program area. An empty page managing table is also provided for indicating the presence or absence of an empty area conformable to a request in an allocated area. A request program is allocated to the allocated area when the presence of the empty area of required capacity is determined. The memory capacity for a resident program can be assured independently of the memory capacities for other programs to enhance reliability conformable to real-time process computers.
摘要:
A computer system has a plurality of processing units (2-1,2-2,2-n) connected via one or more system buses (1-1,1-2). Each processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) has three or more processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) on a common support board (PL) and controlled by a common clock unit (1000). The three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) perform the same operation and a fault in a processor (20-1,20-2, 20-3) is detected by comparison of the operations of the three processors (20-1,20-2,20-3). If one processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) fails, the operation can continue in the other two processors (20-1,20-2,20-3) of the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n), at least temporarily, before replacement of the entire processing unit (2-1,2-2, 2-n). Furthermore, the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) may have a plurality of clocks (A,B) within the clock unit (1000), with a switching arrangement so that the processors (20-1,20-2,20-n) normally receive clock pulses from a main clock (A), but receive pulses from an auxiliary clock (B) if the main clock (A) fails. Switching between the main and auxiliary clock (A,B) involves comparison of the pulse duration from the clocks (A,B). Additionally, a plurality of cache memories (220,221) may be connected in common to the processors (20-1,20-2,20-3), so that failure of one cache memory (220,221) permits the processing unit (2-1,2-2,2-n) to continue to operate using the other cache memory (220,221). Coherence of the contents of the cache memories (220,221) may be achieved by direct comparison, and a comparison method can also be used to invalidate data in an internal cache memory (2020-1,2020-2,2020-3) of a processor (20-1,20-2,20-3) which differs from that in the external cache memory (220,221). Coherence of protocols may also ensure that data in caches (220,221) of the different processor units (2-1,2-2,2-n) are always correct.

An ultrasonic sensor includes: a substrate; an ultrasonic transducer disposed on the substrate, and configured and arranged to transmit ultrasonic waves that propagate as plane waves in a direction orthogonal to a surface of the substrate; an acoustic refracting part contacting the ultrasonic transducer, and configured and arranged to refract the ultrasonic waves transmitted from the ultrasonic transducer; an elastically deformable elastic portion contacting the acoustic refracting part; and an ultrasonic reflecting member disposed within the elastic portion, and configured and arranged to reflect the ultrasonic waves. The acoustic refracting part is configured and arranged to refract, toward the ultrasonic reflecting member, the ultrasonic waves transmitted from the ultrasonic transducer.
