Abstract: At least one of the entrance slit and the exit slit of a monochromator is capable of being opened or closed. The light issued from the exit slit when the slit width is changed is detected by a light detector. The slit width is calibrated when the ratio between the maximum value of the output of the light detector and the output of the light detector with the slit being gradually closed subsequently reaches a predetermined value, in other words, when a predetermined narrowness of the slit is attained. The slit width is controlled by a pulse motor or the like. The pulses supplied to the pulse motor are counted by a counter. At the time of slit width calibration, a value corresponding to the particular slit width is set in the counter, thus performing the slit width calibration.

Abstract: A multiple virtual storage control system for a data processing system for handling a plurality of virtual spaces is disclosed. Virtual addresses indicative of addresses in the virtual spaces are translated to real addresses by a translation table. When a new virtual space is established by setting a first address or segment table origin address (STO address) of the translation table, a virtual space number is assigned to the established virtual space by an STO address stack, which comprises a definite number of registers. The number of virtual space numbers assigned is larger than the number of registers. The virtual addresses and the corresponding real addresses are stored in a high-speed address translator so that the virtual addresses are translated to the real addresses at a high speed. When an overflow of the virtual space number assigned in the STO address stack takes place, the plurality of virtual spaces registered in the high-speed address translator are simultaneously purged.

Abstract: Voltage, current and field voltage of a generator connected to an electric power system are sampled at a predetermined period for analog-digital conversion and then led to a digital computer. In addition to computation for AVR, the computer computes from its input the generator output power, and also monitors the occurrence of a fault, the removal of the fault and variation in the generator output in the system. After the occurrence of a fault, the field excitation of the generator is intensified until the generator output power reaches substantially a peak value, but after the peak value is substantially passed by, the excitation is conversely depressed to a value below the level which is present before the fault occurs. When the generator output power recovers the value which is present before the fault occurs, the computer returns to deliver the AVR output.
