Abstract: A prosthetic ankle and foot combination has an ankle joint mechanism constructed to allow damped rotational movement of a foot component relative to a shin component. The mechanism provides a continuous hydraulically damped range of ankle motion during walking with dynamically variable damping resistances, and with independent variation of damping resistances in the plantarflexion and dorsiflexion directions. An electronic control system coupled to the ankle joint mechanism includes at least one sensor for generating signals indicative of a kinetic or kinematic parameter of locomotion, the mechanism and the control system being arranged such that the damping resistances effective over the range of motion of the ankle are adapted automatically in response to such signals. Single and dual piston hydraulic damping arrangements are disclosed, including arrangements allowing independent heel-height adjustment.

Abstract: An hydraulic heel-height adjustment device for a lower limb prosthesis has a foot-mounting component (18) for detachably mounting a prosthetic foot and a shin component pivotally connected to the foot-mounting component allowing angular adjustment of the foot-mounting component relative to the shin component about a heel-height adjustment axis. The relative angular position is set by an hydraulic piston (42) and cylinder assembly which has a chamber (40) in the shin component containing a piston (42) arranged to execute a translational movement in the chamber when adjustment is required. A bypass passage interconnects parts of the chamber on opposite sides of the piston, this passage containing a manually operable valve which is spring-biased towards a closed position. The piston has a piston rod pivotally connected to the foot-mounting component by a pivot joint defining a medial-lateral axis parallel to and spaced from the heel-height adjustment axis.

Abstract: A self-aligning prosthetic foot and ankle assembly has an ankle unit pivotally mounting a foot component. The ankle unit contains a hydraulic piston and cylinder assembly having a piston which is linearly movable within a cylinder. The axis of the cylinder is coincident with a shin axis defined by a shin connection interface on the ankle unit. Bypass passages containing damping resistance control valves provide continuous hydraulic damping of dorsi and plantar ankle flexion, the unit being such that, over the major part of the range of damped movement, there is no resilient biasing in either the dorsi or the plantar direction. This confers a number of advantages, including stabilisation of standing, balance control, and improved stair-walking and ramp-walking.

Abstract: A dirty memory is operable to store dirty indicators, each dirty indicator being settable to a given value indicative that a page of memory associated therewith has been dirtied. The dirty indicators are stored in groups with each group having associated therewith a validity indicator computed from the dirty indicator values of the group. The control logic is operable on reading a group to compute a validity indicator value based on the dirty indicator values for the group to determine the integrity of the group. The integrity can be confirmed by comparing the computed validity indicator value to a validity indicator value read for the group. Where the value read and the value computed compare equal, it can be assumed that the dirty indicator values of the group are correct. Preferably the validity indicator is a parity indicator. Although parity does not provide for error correction, parity has the advantage that minimal overhead is needed for computation and storage.

Abstract: A computer system comprising at least two processing sets. Each processing set includes main memory. A bridge connects the processing sets. At least a first processing set further including a dirty memory having dirty indicators for indicating dirtied blocks of the main memory of the first processing set. The bridge includes a direct memory access controller that is operable to copy blocks of the first processing set indicated in the dirty memory to the main memory of another processing set. The processors do not, therefore, need to carry out the copying, whereby the processor overhead associated therewith can be avoided, increasing the efficiency of memory reintegration. The direct memory access controller can be arranged to search the dirty memory for dirty indicators indicative of dirtied blocks. Alternatively, the dirty memory can include control logic operable to search the dirty memory for dirty indicators indicative of dirtied blocks.

Abstract: A dirty memory subsystem includes storage operable to store redundant copies of dirty indicators. Each dirty indicator is associated with a respective block of main memory and is settable to a predetermined state to indicate that the block of main memory associated therewith has been dirtied. By providing redundant storage for the dirty indicators, any difference between the stored copies of the dirty indicators can be considered as indicative of memory corruption, for example as a result of a cosmic ray impact. As the different copies can be stored in different locations, it is unlikely that a cosmic ray impact would affect all copies equally. If a difference between the stored copies is detected, then the dirty indicator can be take as being unreliable and remedial action can be taken. For example, it can be assumed that a block of main memory has been dirtied if any of the copies of the dirty indicator has the predetermined state.

Abstract: Resource access control is provided in a manner that avoids unnecessary resource accesses where a resource is already known to be faulty. The resource can be a memory location, a peripheral or any other addressable system component. A resource access mechanism in a processor controls access to resources. The resource access mechanism includes an address control mechanism having a plurality of address control entries, each address control entry providing fake response identification indicating whether or not a response for the corresponding address is to be faked. The resource access mechanism also includes a fake response generator for selectively generating a faked response for an address in response to the fake response identification of the corresponding address control entry indicating that a response is to be faked.

Abstract: A memory controller controls access to one or more memory units. The memory controller includes access control logic operable to receive a memory access request that references at least one memory address. It further includes a fake response record operable to record a fake response indication for an address for which a response is to be faked. The access control logic is operable on receipt of a memory access request to access the fake response record and to fake a response where a fake response indication for an address indicates that a response is to be faked. By providing such a faked response, an embodiment of the invention is able avoid multiple exceptions for the same memory location in a CPU. Also, by providing such a faked response, multiple bus errors for a memory location can also be avoided where a bus supports Direct Memory Access (DMA). The memory controller can be implemented in an integrated circuit.

Abstract: Resource access control is provided in a manner that avoids unnecessary resource accesses where a resource is already known to be faulty. A resource access controller controls access to resources addressed by at least one central processing unit. The resource access controller includes an address translation mechanism providing fake response identification as to whether or not a response is to be faked. The resource access controller also includes a fake response generator for selectively generating a faked response where the fake response identification of the corresponding translation entry indicates that a response is to be faked. The resource access controller is able to associate fake response indications with a resource and to generate a fake response when an attempt is made to access a resource labeled such that a faked response should be returned.

Abstract: To provide efficient resource access control in a computer system, a trap handler for handling a trap in the event of a faulty resource access being detected is arranged to define a diversion for subsequent access attempts to the same resource. An address translation mechanism is responsive to indication of a diversion for a resource access to modify an address mapping, whereby subsequent attempts to access the resource are diverted in accordance with the diversion. The trap handler can be arranged in a conventional manner to process an exception of the first faulty access to the resource. However, by defining the diversion, which can be used to map further attempts to access the same resource, unnecessary exception processing can be avoided.

Abstract: A dirty memory that includes dirty indicators settable to indicate dirtied pages of memory is provided with control logic operable automatically to interrogate the dirty memory to identify dirty indicators that are set. Implementing the control of the dirty RAM in hardware or firmware enables interrogation of the dirty RAM to identify set dirty indicators in a rapid and reliable manner. The control logic can advantageously be operable to interrogate the dirty memory word-by-word to determine words including a set bit. A comparator can be provided for comparing bits of a word to a predetermined value to determine where a dirty indicator is set. The comparison could be performed serially for bits within a word, but it is advantageously done in parallel for the bits of the word. For example, by using associative memory, the interrogation of the dirty memory could be effected associatively in parallel to determine words including a word with a set bit.
