Abstract: The optical reader of the invention uses a discrete number of pulses to time the passage of each column position, samples hole data at four selected count positions and interrogates the samples to ascertain whether the condition of the samples indicates the presence or absence of data or an error condition. When valid data is sensed by data indications adjacent one end of the sample sequence, the interpreting circuit also indicates whether the presence of the hole occurred early or late with respect to nominal timing. In addition mark read data may be read at the same read station using selected samples that are interpreted as presence or absence of data or an error condition using the same interpreting circuitry.

Abstract: An interrupt subsystem within a data processing system is scalable from low-end uniprocessor systems to high-end multi-processor (MP) systems. This interrupt subsystem provides for queuing of interrupts from many sources, and for queuing of interrupts to the best processor in a multi-processor system. The external interrupt mechanism is separated into two layers, an interrupt routing layer and an interrupt presentation layer. The interrupt routing layer routes the interrupt conditions to the appropriate instance of an interrupt management area within the interrupt presentation layer. The interrupt presentation layer communicates the interrupt source to the system software which is to service/process the interrupt. By providing two layers within the interrupt subsystem, application or system software can be written which is independent from the types or sources of interrupts. The interrupt routing layer hides the details of a particular hardware implementation from the software. The interrupt presentation layer interfaces to the system and/or application software, and provides hardware independent functionality.
