Version control for objects in a configuration system for process plants

Ein Versionskontrollsystem unterstützt die Verwaltung von Versionen von Prozessanlagenelementen, die Entitäten in einer Prozessanlage repräsentieren oder repräsentieren können. Die Prozessanlagenelemente können beispielsweise Modulobjete umfassen, die spezifisch Prozessentitäten der Prozessanlage repräsentieren können.

Versionsdaten werden gespeichert und einem Modulobjekt zugeordnet. Zu den Versionsdaten können Daten gehören, die eine Version eines Modulklassenobjekts bezeichnen, das genutzt wurde, um das Modulobjekt zu erzeugen. Die Versionsdaten können ferner Daten umfassen, die eine Version des Modulobjekts bezeichnen. Konfigurierungssysteme, Versionskontrollsysteme, Anzeigesysteme, Fehlerbereinigungssysteme, Run-Time-Überwachungssysteme, Asset-Managementsysteme etc. können die einem Element zugeordneten Versionskontrolldaten prüfen oder ihre Anzeige zulassen. A version control system supports the management of versions of process assets that can represent or represent entities in a process plant. For example, the process plant elements may include modulobjects that may specifically represent process entities of the process plant. These module objects can be generated from module class objects that can represent generic process entities of the process plant. Version data is stored and assigned to a module object. The version data may include data that designates a version of a module class object that was used to create the module object. The version data may further include data designating a version of the module object. Configuration systems, version control systems, display systems, debugger systems, run-time monitoring systems, asset management systems, etc. may check the version control data associated with an item or allow its display.

Method and apparatus for maximizing utilization of an internal processor bus in the context of external transactions running at speeds fractionally greater than internal transaction times

Use of an internal processor data bus is maximized in a system where external transactions may occur at a rate which is fractionally slower than the rate of the internal transactions. The technique inserts a selectable delay element in the signal path during an external operation such as a cache fill operation. The one cycle delay provides a time slot in which an internal operation, such as a load from an internal cache, may be performed. This technique therefore permits full use of the time slots on the internal data bus. It can, for, example, allow load operations to begin at a much earlier time than would otherwise be possible in architectures where fill operations can consume multiple bus time slots.

Graphics integration into a process configuration and control environment

Graphic elements and graphic displays are provided for use in a process environment to display information to one or more users about the process environment, such as the current state of device within a process plant. The graphic elements and display may be associated with various logical and physical elements within the process plant during configuration of the process plant, and may be configured and downloaded to the hardware within the process plant along with other configuration items, such as control routines. In particular, the graphic elements and graphic displays may be created and stored in a library, and may then be configured by being associated with various logical or physical entities within the plant. During the configuration process, the graphic elements and graphic displays may be associated with areas, equipment, process modules, control routines or control strategies of the plant as defined elsewhere in the plant configuration, or may be associated with interfaces or display devices, to define the hardware on which the graphic displays will execute during runtime, as well as to define the process entities to which these displays will be bound for display purposes. Still further, each of the graphic displays may be defined with a role or a functional use, such as an operator view, a maintenance view, etc., and these roles may be used to defined the proper access and use of the graphic displays within the runtime environment.

Method and apparatus for optimizing bcache tag performance by inferring bcache tag state from internal processor state

An architecture which splits primary and secondary cache memory buses and maintains cache hierarchy consistency without performing an explicit invalidation of the secondary cache tag. Two explicit rules are used to determine the status of a block read from the primary cache. In particular, if any memory reference subset matches a block in the primary cache, the associated secondary cache block is ignored. Secondly, if any memory reference subset matches a block in the miss address file, the associated secondary cache block is ignored. Therefore, any further references which subset match the first reference are not allowed to proceed until the fill back to main memory has been completed and the associated miss address file entry has been retired. This ensures that no agent in the host processor or an external agent can illegally use the stale secondary cache data.

Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.

8232. Webb, A. Ogilvy-, White, J. D., and Reinecke, R. C. A. April 4. Arc lamps.-In an inverted are lamp, the arc is enclosed by a chamber comprising a lower portion a<1> closely surrounding the arc, and an upper portion b permanently united thereto, through which upper portion the electrodes pass so as to avoid as far as possible any admission of air. The chamber so formed becomes sufficiently hot to prevent condensation of vapours from the arc. It may be spherical or hemispherical, or of a form approximating to that of the surface of a flame arc, and may he made wholly or partly with double walls, Fig. 5. It may be made of silica, or the outer jacket may be of glass. The space between the double walls is preferably sealed, and may be exhausted or filled with a coloured or other gas; a duct and valve may be provided for exhaustion. The electrodes may contain light-increasing materials, or such materials may be applied to the arc in the form of a stick separate from the electrodes. The electrodes may enter through stuffing-boxes in the upper part or through holes countersunk so as to reduce the rubbing surface; one electrode may pass through a slot covered by a sliding plate. The globe is supported by wings or a flange. A double spherical globe may have tubular parts uniting the two shells and surrounding the electrodes.

Optical pointers; optical systems.-The bubble of a level a is caused to form part of an optical reading system, and in combination with this system gives an image of a filament d, Fig. 1, for projection on a screen; or, as shown in Fig. 4, the level is formed with fiducial marks on its upper surface, the distortion of which is observed directly by the eye after reflection in the lower curved surface of the level. In a modification, which is especially for use in detecting vibrations, a microscope 8, Fig. 7, is mounted above the level a, in which the bubble is particularly large and the movements of the image of a filament observed as before. For use in gun-laying &c., a level a and a microscope 19 are mounted on a telescope in combination with mirrors 17, 18 so that the layer can see when the sight is properly levelled. In a modification of this arrangement, a reflecting- prism may throw an image of a stop into the eyepiece of the telescope.

Conveying metadata by modulation of pilot carriers in COFDM broadcasting

Transmitter apparatus transmits metadata together with data, at least part of which metadata specifies the version of coded orthogonal frequency-division modulation (COFDM) broadcasting standard it uses for transmitting. Some of the metadata is conveyed by prescribed signature modulation of pilot carrier waves dispersed in one or another of prescribed patterns among the COFDM carrier waves that convey interleaved forward-error-correction coded digital signals. Receiver apparatus detects that metadata by searching for a prescribed signature modulation of the continual pilot carrier waves in those transmissions. Preferably, Barker modulation of the continual pilot carriers near the conclusion of each COFDM frame signals the start of the next COFDM frame to the receiver apparatus.
