  • Publication number: 20050144347
    Abstract: The interrupt control apparatus in the present invention includes an interrupt vector register for holding address information corresponding respectively to interrupt resources of first type which are managed by an operating system and interrupt resources of second type which are not managed by the operating system, from among the interrupt resources. With regard to an interrupt generated by an interrupt resource of first type managed by the operating system, the interrupt control apparatus in the present invention launches a common interrupt entry function which is subject to a scheduling process common to the interrupt resources of first type, based on the address information of the interrupt vector register.

  • Publication number: 20050064368
    Abstract: A dental implant system and method are provided. The dental implant method may include forming a hole in bone of an alveolar of a maxilla, adjacent a sinus cavity. The hole is typically formed so as to leave a bridge portion separating the hole from a bottom surface of a sinus cavity wall. The method may further include separating the bridge portion from the sinus cavity wall, and lifting the bridge portion and the sinus membrane together at least partially into the sinus cavity.

  • Patent number: 6473886
    Abstract: A plurality of output circuits for supplying current are connected to an output terminal A of a pre-stage circuit. The output circuit, which connects to a switching timing delay mechanism including a delay circuit, performs switching at a timing when current reaches a saturation region. The current is supplied from the output circuit not including the switching timing delay mechanism. Hence, it is possible to keep the output impedance characteristics of an output terminal B constant and to readily realize impedance matching with load.

  • Patent number: 4416555
    Abstract: A bearing system for a vertical type rotary machine including a vertically extending rotor shaft including a guide bearing immersed in oil in an oil tank disposed around the rotor shaft. The guide bearing has a cylindrical bearing surface juxtaposed against the peripheral surface of the rotor shaft and a plurality of axially extending oil grooves formed in the cylindrical bearing surface. An oil guide member is mounted on a lower end surface of the guide bearing adjacent to the open lower axial end of each oil groove. Each oil guide member has a guide surface facing a flow of oil in the oil tank induced by the rotation of the rotor shaft for guiding the oil flow into the associated oil groove. The guide surface has a lower edge thereof remote from the lower end surface of the guide bearing, which is advanced toward the direction of oil flow with respect to an upper edge of the guide surface adjacent to the lower end surface of the guide bearing.
