  • Patent number: 5581713
    Abstract: A computer having multiple modules connected by a backplane bus includes multiple competition signal lines and multiple class signal lines. Access to the backplane bus to engage in one or more of multiple types of bus transactions is arbitrated between the modules by classifying the bus transactions into different classes and, during each of a succession of competition cycles, when a module wants access to the backplane bus to engage in a particular type of bus transaction, asserting a class signal line corresponding to a class in which the particular type of bus transaction has been classified. Based on information presented on the class signal lines, it is determined which modules are or are not eligible to compete for access to the backplane bus. When a module is eligible to compete for access to the backplane bus, it drives an identification code associated with the module on the competition signal lines.

  • Patent number: 5035929
    Abstract: The three-dimensional picture includes a transparent substrate carrying, on a top surface, periodically spaced, non-transparent lines of a predetermined width and carrying, on a bottom surface, an underlying picture formed by a lenticular process. The underlying picture has a plurality of lenticular planes and the non-transaprent lines are positioned substantially parallel to the lenticular planes. The underlying picture could have a multiplicity of vertically spaced, multiple images of an object. If the three dimensional picture is translucent to light, it can be mounted on a light box. When the substrate is flexible, the three dimensional picture can be incorporated into magazines or other promotional materials.
