Abstract: A method of inverting workpieces in a mass production process includes: advancing an end effector in electronic synchronization with advancement of a carrier to synchronize arrival of the carrier at a stop position with arrival of the end effector at an unloading position, in which the end effector is in alignment with a workpiece held by the carrier for engaging the workpiece; while the end effector is in engagement with the workpiece, retracting the end effector away from the carrier to unload the workpiece from the carrier and advancing the end effector back toward the carrier to load the workpiece back into the carrier; and rotating the end effector relative to the carrier to invert the workpiece in electronic synchronization with the retracting and advancing of the end effector for loading the workpiece back into the carrier when inverted.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamically linked emulation with a mix of target debuggers on a host computer wherein a debugger for each processor on the target system connects to a target interface for that kind of processor. That target interface then communicates with an emulator dynamic loader on the host computer connected to an emulator. The target interface communicates with the dynamic loader on the host computer to determine if there is support for the desired kind on the emulator. If not a target interface is loaded to the emulator and connected to the already running software on the host. A connection to this target interface software on the emulator is then provided to the host computer.

Abstract: A data exchange system that exchanges data between processors is provided. The system includes a host processor and a target processor. Data is exchanged by forming a data pipeline between the target processor and the host processor. The data pipeline includes a data unit on the target processor, an emulator and a device driver on the host processor. The data exchange system sends data through the data pipe line by transferring the data from a target memory on the target processor with the data unit to the emulator. The data exchange system transfers the data from the emulator to the first device driver.
