Data signals, control signals and/or error information are transferred between the first communication means and the second communication means using the communication link. The method includes activating a static identification pattern in the first communication means representing an error information, and stopping a clock signal (Clk) inside the first communication means to freeze a present error condition, in response to a communication link problem being detected, and transferring the activated static identification pattern permanently and/or repeatedly to the second communication means using the communication link.

Abstract: Embodiments include receiving, at a microcontroller of a chip, a request to execute a first task having a first priority. Embodiments further include determining that a second task having a second priority is currently executing. Embodiments further include determining that the first priority is higher than the second priority. Embodiments further include determining whether a value in a register indicates that the second task can be interrupted. If it is determined that the second task can be interrupted, embodiments further include triggering execution of the second task. If it is determined that the second task cannot be interrupted, embodiments further include waiting for lapse of a time period since receipt of the request to execute the first task, and interrupting the second task upon detecting lapse of the time period, or detecting, prior to the lapse of the time period, that the second task can be interrupted.

Abstract: Embodiments include an apparatus comprising a processor and a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code. The computer usable program code can be configured to determine whether priority of a requested task is higher than a priority of a currently executing task. The computer usable program code can be further configured to determine whether a value indicates that the currently executing task can be interrupted. The computer usable program code can be configured to trigger execution of the requested task on the processor, if the value indicates that the currently executed task can be interrupted. The computer usable program code can be further configured to wait for lapse of a time period and, interrupt the currently executing task upon detection of lapse of the time period or detection of a change to the value, if the value indicates that the currently executing task cannot be interrupted.

Abstract: It is a matter of a container assembly with at least one stackable container (1) which has a bottom part (7) and a lid (8) mounted on top thereof Several containers (1) may be so stacked that the lid (8) of the lower container (1) is located between two bottom parts (7). The container (1) is equipped with at least one connecting device (3) which has coupling means (26) mounted movably on the lid (8) of the container (1). The coupling means (26) are movable, for the connection of two containers (1) mounted one above the other, into a connected position relative to the lid (8), in which they are simultaneously in connecting engagement with the bottom parts (7) of both stacked containers (1).

Abstract: It is a matter of a container assembly with at least one stackable container (1) which has a first engaging structure (48) on its top side (19) and a second engaging structure (49) on its underside (18). The engaging structures (48, 49) are so matched to one another that, when two containers (1) are stacked together, they engage in one another in such a way that the containers are secured against shifting relative to one another at right-angles to the stacking direction and at the same time the upper container is prevented from lifting at least in certain areas. The first engaging structure (48) consists of engaging recesses (54) and the second engaging structure (49) of engaging projections (55). Feet (57) provided on the underside (18) of the container (1) are designed as elements of the second engaging structure (49) and are able to engage the first engaging structure (48) from the rear, to prevent lifting of the upper container at least in certain areas.
