Patent number: 4825360Abstract: A parallel processing system is receptive of a program and has at least two processors connected in parallel to a shared main memory. Each processor executes instructions of the program which includes side-effecting instructions which modify the contents of a location in main memory and functional instructions which reference locations in main memory. The program is compiled into a series of independent instruction blocks each of which includes predominantly functional instructions and terminates in a side-effecting instruction and the processors execute the blocks in parallel.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 1986Date of Patent: April 25, 1989Assignee: Symbolics, Inc.Inventor: Thomas F.

Patent number: 4799055Abstract: A method and device for converting movement of an optical mouse on a surface having any random surface pattern of relatively light and dark areas separated by edges to electrical signals representing a direction of motion relative to two non-parallel axes. A plurality of prechargeable photon sensors are disposed on the mouse in a row along each axis and facing the surface periodically. The presence of an edge is periodically sensed in at least one preselected portion of each row of sensors, defining a sensor state for each axis for each period upon the sensing of an absence of an edge. Successive sensor states are compared to determine if movement has occurred relative to each axis and a signal representative of the movement determined is produced.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 1984Date of Patent: January 17, 1989Assignee: Symbolics Inc.Inventors: Eric Nestler, Thomas F. Knight
