Abstract: A method for executing two tasks in timesharing, includes: decomposing offline each task in a repetitive sequence of consecutive frames, and defining a start date and deadline by which an associated atomic operation must respectively start and end; verifying for each frame of a first of the repetitive sequences the corresponding operation can be performed between any two successive operations of a group of frames of the second repetitive sequence, overlapping the first repetitive sequence frame; and if the verification is satisfied, allowing the execution of the two tasks. Scheduling the operations of the two tasks, if two operations can start, executing the operation having the shorter deadline; and if a single operation can start, executing it if its execution need is less than the time remaining until the next frame start date of the other sequence, plus the time margin associated with the next frame of the other sequence.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of blueberry plant, which is denominated varietally as ‘NS 13-1’ is described, and which produces a fruit having a medium to large fruit size, high fruit sweetness, high fruit firmness, and low fruit acidity and which, when ripe, detaches well from the plant, and which further has a very early fruit production date, when grown under the ecological conditions prevailing near Yanchep Springs, Yanchep, Western Australia.

Abstract: A device and a method for transmitting data within a network switch is provided. The method implemented by computer makes it possible to transmit to a receiver network domain only the applicational data necessary for this domain. The method identifies in a frame received solely the data corresponding to each addressee network domain, and then the frame is disassembled so as to write each suite of data into an assigned memory area of the network switch. The method moreover makes it possible to dispatch a frame with only the data of an addressee network domain by constructing a new frame with solely the data necessary for the addressee network which have been stored in a memory area of the switch.

Abstract: Described is a system for monitoring deflection of turbine blades of a wind turbine comprising a tower. The system comprises a position detecting apparatus mounted to the wind turbine comprising a plurality of position detection components each collecting data regarding a field of detection through which a segment of the turbine blades passes, wherein the position detection components are monitoring distinct fields of detection to collect distances of a plurality of segments of each one of the turbine blades travelling through the fields of detection. The system further comprises a deflection controller configured to receive the collected distances and to determine deflection of the turbine blades accordingly. An associated method comprises collecting distances of a plurality of distinct segments of the turbine blades when the turbine blades travel within a plurality of fields of detections, and processing the collected distances to determine clearance between the turbine blades and the tower.

Abstract: Method for executing a task composed of a set of sequential and alternative processes. The method includes the steps of: a) assigning to each process a hardware resource need and time constraint; b) allocating to each process a time-slot having a duration corresponding to the time constraint of the process; c) identifying a branch point at which is decided the execution of one or other of two alternative processes; d) allocating to the two alternative processes a common time-slot; e) assigning to the common time-slot a resource need equal to the larger of the resource needs of the two alternative processes; f) iterating from step c) for each branch point; g) organizing the resulting time-slots in an execution template associated with the task; and h) configuring real-time multitasking system to constrain the execution of the task according to the resource needs assigned to the time slots of the execution template.

Abstract: A method for executing an application in a multitasking system is provided. The application is composed of at least one task for which the temporal triggering is specified in a first temporal reference frame that is asynchronous relative to the physical time, called first external clock domain, defined by a synchronous basic clock with changes of state of a peripheral device of the system. The method comprises a set of steps executed by the system upon reception of an occurrence of an interrupt in order to render the execution of the task deterministic or quasi-deterministic.

Abstract: A method for executing tasks of a real-time application on a multitasking computer, steps including: defining time-windows, each associated with the execution of processing operation of task of the application, allocating to each processing operation having time-window, time-quota and time-margin, time allocated to processing operation by time-quota and time-margin being shorter than duration of time-window of processing operation, during the execution of application, activating each processing operation at the start of time-window with which it is associated, on expiry of time-quota of one of processing operations, activating an error mode if the execution of processing operation has not been completed and, if error mode is active for one of processing operations, executing an error handling operation for processing operation, during remaining time allocated to processing operation by time-quota and time-margin.
