  • Patent number: 8564715
    Abstract: An optical module includes a first optics group, a second optics group, and an image sensor, wherein the first optics group and second optics group are configured to provide an image having a focus and a magnification to the image sensor. In some embodiments of the present invention, a first optics assembly includes a first optics group coupled to a threaded portion of a first lead screw so that rotation of the first lead screw results in translation of the first optics group along an axis of the first lead screw, a first actuator for rotating the first lead screw; and a first sensing target configured to permit detection of rotation of the first lead screw.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5067071
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multiprocessor computer system including a plurality of processor modules with each of the processor modules including at least one processor and a cache memory which is shared by all of the processors of each processor module. The processor modules are connected to a system bus which comprises independent data, address, vectored interrupt, and control buses. A system memory which is shared by all the processor modules is also connected to the buses, and the cache memories in each processor module store those memory locations in the main memory most frequently accessed by the processors in its module. A system control module controls the operation and interaction of all of the modules and contains the bus arbiters for the vector, data and address buses. The system control module also controls the retrying of requests which are not completed and should any requester fail to obtain access to a bus, the system control module also unjams this deadlock.
