Modern microprocessors have sacrificed the exactness of exceptions for improved performance long ago. This is a side effect of reordering instructions so that the microprocessor can execute instructions which were not to be executed due to an exception. By throwing more circuits at the problem, microprocessors are designed so that they are able to roll back to the instruction causing the except...

To determine the force and energy parameters of cold roll-beating external splines, characteristics deformation zone in are analysed. The geometric dimensions position change with movement roller, contact arc, reduction very small, there is an incomplete initial stage roll-beating. A discrete analytical method for calculating unit pressure proposed, process discretized into infinite number cold...

We derive slow-roll conditions for a scalar field which is non-minimally coupled with gravity in a consistent manner and express spectral indices of scalar/tensor perturbations in terms of the slow-roll parameters. The conformal invariance of the curvature perturbation is proved without linear approximations. Rapid-roll conditions are also derived, and the relation with the slow-roll conditions...

This paper presents Eve, a new Execute-Verify architecture that allows state machine replication to scale to multi-core servers. Eve departs from the traditional agree-execute architecture of state machine replication: replicas first execute groups of requests concurrently and then verify that they can reach agreement on a state and output produced by a correct replica; if they can not, they ro...

Conventional methods used to fabricate the light guide plates (LGPs), such as injection molding and hot embossing, are difficult and unsuitable. In this study, the authors propose a new manufacturing process for the roll-to-plate UV imprint lithography (RPIL) technique that fabricates LGPs with dot patterns. A flexible and transparent sheet mold with microstructures required by the RPIL machine...

The most important part of a Digital Signal Processing or DSP is a filter which passes the desired frequency components and rejects the unwanted signals as noise. So Digital filter play an important role in DSP based communication system. Digital filter has many advantages over the analog filter. FIR filter gives linear and stable performance as compare to IIR filter. In this paper Band reject ...

Multi-antenna GPS receiver configurations and methods are assessed to determine roll, pitch and azimuth of a survey launch operating at cruising speeds of 10 to 15 knots. Two receiver configurations are inter-compared, namely a 4antenna Ashtech 3DF system and a 3-GPSCardTM configuration. The survey launch antenna configurations and marine trials conducted to test these systems are described. Th...

Interest in organic and polymer light-emitting devices (OLEDs and PLEDs) has exploded in recent years, in part because of the ability to create these devices on flexible plastic substrates. This is advantageous in producing wearable or lightweight displays, as well as utilizing low-cost roll-to-roll processing techniques. For the first time, we present crystalline refractory inorganic thin film...
