    Abstract: A differential drive system is used to actuate an ink jet printhead (10) having a spaced, parallel series of internal ink receiving channels opening outwardly through ink discharge orifices formed in the printhead body (12). The channels (32) are laterally bounded by a spaced series of piezoelectrically deflectable internal sidewall actuator sections of the printhead body (12) interdigitated with the channels. The printhead body (12) is specially configured to facilitate wiring access to spaced apart first and second electrical connection portions on each of the actuators. Electrical leads (56) from a first controller (58) are connected to the first actuator portions and are ganged in groups that are selectively connected to a driving voltage source, or to ground, by the first controller (58). A second controller (70) has a first set of electrical leads (68) similarly ganged in groups and connected to a first set of the second actuator portions, and a second set of unganged electrical leads individually connected to the rest of the second actuator portions. The second controller is operative to selectively connect any of its individual leads, or any of its ganged lead groups, to the driving voltage source or to ground. In conjunction with the dual controllers (58, 70), this combination of ganged and individually addressable leads connected to the first and second actuator portions permits the actuators to be differentially driven in a manner digitally synthesizing a more complex bipolar drive system.

    Abstract: A method of disabling active termination on an SCSI device when the SCSI device is not at the terminal end of the SCSI bus chain, and circuitry for accomplishing that method. An SCSI device has selectable active termination. When the SCSI device is off, the active termination circuitry is powered by the termination power line of the SCSI bus, and so the termination circuitry does not require power to the SCSI device to work properly. The SCSI device has two ports for connection in the SCSI chain, and the SCSI device detects whether a device is present on each of those ports by detecting whether a line that pulled to ground has in fact been pulled to ground. If both ports are connected to SCSI device, then the SCSI device disables its active termination using the disconnect input of the circuit it uses for active termination of the SCSI bus. Further, the SCSI device can communicate whether devices are connected to each of its SCSI ports to a host computer system via the system bus.

    Abstract: Three prioritization schemes for determining which of several CPUs receives priority to become bus master of a host bus in a multiprocessor system, and an arbitration scheme for transferring control from one bus master to another. Each prioritization scheme prioritizes n elements, where a total of (n/2)x(n-1) priority bits monitors the relative priority between each pair of elements. An element receives the highest priority when each of the n-1 priority bits associated with that element points to it. In the arbitration scheme, the current bus master of the host bus determines when transfer of control of the host bus occurs as governed by one of the prioritization schemes. The arbitration scheme gives EISA bus masters, RAM refresh and DMA greater priority than CPUs acting as bus masters, and allows a temporary bus master to interrupt the current bus master to perform a write-back cache intervention cycle. The arbitration scheme also supports address pipelining, bursting, split transactions and reservations of CPUs aborted when attempting a locked cycle. Address pipelining allows the next bus master to assert its address and status signals before the beginning of the data transfer phase of the next bus master. Split transactions allow a CPU posting a read to the EISA bus to arbitrate the host bus to another device without re-arbitrating for the host bus to retrieve the data. The data is asserted on the host bus when it is idle even if the host bus is being controlled by another device.

    Abstract translation: 用于确定多个CPU中的哪一个接收优先权以成为多处理器系统中的主机总线的总线的三个优先级方案,以及用于将控制从一个总线主机传送到另一个总线主机的仲裁方案。 每个优先排序方案优先考虑n个元素,其中总共(n / 2)x(n-1)个优先级位监视每对元素之间的相对优先级。 当与该元素相关联的n-1个优先级位中的每一个指向它时,元素接收最高优先级。 在仲裁方案中,主机总线的当前总线主机确定主机总线的控制何时发生,由优先级排列方案之一决定。 仲裁方案给予EISA总线主机,RAM刷新和DMA优先于作为总线主机的CPU,并允许临时总线主机中断当前总线主机以执行回写高速缓存干预周期。 仲裁方案还支持在尝试锁定循环时中止CPU的地址流水线,突发,拆分事务和预留。 地址流水线允许下一个总线主机在下一个总线主机的数据传输阶段开始之前断言其地址和状态信号。 拆分事务允许CPU向EISA总线发布读取,以将主机总线仲裁到另一个设备,而不需要重新仲裁主机总线来检索数据。 即使主机总线被其他设备控制,数据在空闲时也在主机总线上被断言。

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing concurrent operations on the host bus, expansion bus, and local I/O bus as well as the processor bus connecting the processor and cache system to increase computer system efficiency. A plurality of CPU boards are coupled to a host bus which in turn is coupled to an expansion bus through a bus controller. Each CPU board includes a processor connected to a cache system including a cache controller and cache memory. The cache system interfaces to the host bus through address and data buffers controlled by cache interface logic. Distributed system peripheral (DSP) logic comprising various ports, timers, and interrupt controller logic is coupled to the cache system, data buffers, and cache interface logic by a local I/O bus. The computer system supports various areas of concurrent operation, including concurrent local I/O cycles, host bus snoop cycles and CPU requests, as well as concurrent expansion bus reads with snooped host bus cycles.

    Abstract: A computer system which includes certain minimum capabilities in a system ROM. Device driver software is located in the system ROM or adapter ROM's. On boot the computer system collects these device drivers from ROM to develop a minimal system. If a removable medium such as a floppy disk or CD-ROM is present a configuration mode in entered when final driver files and operating system modules are stored on a selected hard disk. After this storage the device driver modules and operating system modules necessary to develop a boot image of the operating system are gathered and linked. The boot image is generated and stored, allowing use on the following boot operations. The computer system detects device changes and rebuilds the boot image as necessary. If the devices have remained the same the previously stored boot image is loaded and operating system execution commences.

    Abstract: A computer system can be upgraded from a 386 main CPU to a 486 microprocessor without exchanging the processor card or removing the 386 microprocessor. The computer includes a single empty socket which can be fitted with a 486SX, 487SX, or 486DX microprocessor. Any of these microprocessors can be plugged into the socket, which causes the cache system which includes an 82395 to enter a tri-state test mode and suspends the operation of the main CPU. To correct for the variations in the pin arrangements of each processor, various system signals are routed using switches to different pins for different microprocessors. In addition, specific system signals are rerouted among the system components using a set of six switches to provide for proper operation when the socket is empty and when it is occupied. By appropriately setting all of the switches, the correct signals are provided to each pin of the upgrade microprocessor. While the cache system remains in test mode, the main CPU remains fundamentally inactive, and the upgrade processor controls the computer system.

    Abstract: Method of forming an orifice array for an ink jet printhead (29). Excimer laser radiation is used to ablate an orifice array in a cover plate (10) having a removable backing (16), a front side layer (12) formed from either an ablatable inactive material such as polyimide, a non-wettable material doped to absorb excimer radiation, or an ablatable inactive material such as polyimide with a very thin surface layer of a non-wettable material, and an intermediate layer (14) formed from an adhesive material. First, a series of generally square indentations (26) approximately 80 mu m on each side and which extends through the removable backing (16) and the intermediate layer (14) and partially through the front side layer (12) exposing an interior surface (27) of the front side is formed at spaced locations along the back side surface of the cover plate (10). Next, a corresponding series of generally circular apertures (28) approximately 40 mu m in diameter, each positioned in the general center of the corresponding indentation (26) and extending through the front side layer (12) is formed in the cover plate (10).
