A microprocessor apparatus is provided for performing an indirect near jump operation that includes paired operation translation logic, load logic, and execution logic. The paired operation translation logic receives an indirect near jump macro instruction, and generates a load-jump micro instruction, where the load-jump micro instruction directs load logic to retrieve an offset and directs the execution logic to generate a target address. The load logic is coupled to the paired operation transl...

In order to limit the flame temperature peaks following sudden load variations, corresponding control is planned of the position of the blades (13) of the distributor with variable geometry, of a single-shaft gas turbine (18); in particular, the control system proposed comprises a direct-action regulator (21) consisting of a calculation unit (22), which implements the simplified running model of the gas turbine (18), and a feedback regulator (20), which makes it possible to recuperate any inaccu...

A high temperature pre-insulated piping system is shown which can withstand conveyance temperatures in excess of 250.degree. F. The piping system includes a first and second length of insulated and jacketed pipe. Each pipe length includes an inner metal pipe having an interior surface and an exterior surface and having an envelope of foamed insulation surrounding the inner pipe exterior surface. A special release agent is applied between the metal pipe exterior and the surrounding layer of foame...

An orally administered antihyperlipidemia composition according to the present invention includes from about 250 to about 3000 parts by weight of nicotinic acid, and from about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Also, a method of treating hyperlipidemia in a hyperlipidemic having a substantially periodic physiological loss of consciousness, includes the steps of forming a composition having an effective antihyperlipidemic amount of nicotinic acid and a time release s...

A register window fill technique for a retirement window having an entry size less than a number of fill instructions used in a fill condition is provided. The technique uses modified fill instructions that allow the retirement window to retire a portion of the fill instructions without having to determine whether a remaining portion of the fill instructions will execute without exceptions.

Process for producing a valve metal powder by producing a precursor of desired morphology, converting the precursor into an oxide of the valve metal, stabilizing the structure of the oxide by heat treatment and reducing the stabilized oxide while retaining the morphology. Valve metal powders obtainable in this way, in particular comprising spherical agglomerates with a mean agglomerate size of 10 80 .mu.m, preferably 20 40 .mu.m, and use of these valve metal powders to produce solid electrolyte ...

There is disclosed method and apparatus for retaining a reservoir for a therapeutic agent between the scalp and cranium of a subject, including providing a deformable pouch or rigid cylinder for dispensing the therapeutic agent from the reservoir to a location in the body of the subject. In one embodiment, a pump is used to pump the agent from the reservoir to the location in the subject's body. In another example embodiment, there is provided method and apparatus for forming at least one cavity...
