US Patent:

53153642, May 24, 1994

Filed:

Nov 4, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/787296

Inventors:

Douglas N. Arion - Tijeras NM
David E. Baird - Albuquerque NM

Assignee:

Science Applications International, Inc. - San Diego CA

International Classification:

G01B 1116
G01B 716

US Classification:

356 32

Abstract:

A shock wave gauge (20) is made from a piece of pure-quartz glass rod (22), or other suitable transparent mineral material. A segment (38) of the rod is uniformly heated above its melting point. The heated segment is then drawn away from a non-heated body segment, forming an optical fiber thread (26). The thread is thinned to a desired size while the rod material is still above its melting point. Upon cooling, the fiber optic thread is cut to a desired length. The body segment (24) of the rod and fiber optic thread (26) drawn therefrom comprise the gauge. The gauge is preferably assembled inside of a housing (34) to protect the thread, with at least one end (24') of the body segment protruding out from the housing. In use, a shock wave impacts the exposed end of the body segment. The pressure of the shock wave causes the temperature of the rod material to rise by an amount proportional to the pressure.

Abstract:

A technique for starting up a data processing system in which a "basic" or "kernel" instruction set is stored in an auxiliary store and transferred to the processor's control store in start-up. The kernel instruction set in used to execute an initialization program which identifies an I/O device in which a microcode local program and a desired microcode file are stored. No microcode load program is transferred to the processor's main memory, using the kernel instructions and the desired microcode file is then transferred in selected blocks from the I/O device to the main memory and there to the microcode control store. The microinstructions of the desired microcode file then can be used to load appropriate operating system software so that the overall processor is then ready for use in whatever applications are desirable.
