A tilting rotor of a convertible aircraft comprises, between the mast and the hub, a constant velocity drive mechanism and pivoting arrangement comprising two gimbals, each of which is driven by the mast and pivots about one respectively of two diametral axes by two diametrically opposite bearings. Each gimbal is also hinged to the hub by ball joint connections diametrically opposite and centred respectively in a radial plane passing through the axis of the mast and through the diametral axis about which the other gimbal pivots. The two resulting trains transmitting torque between the mast and the hub have substantially the same torsional rigidity, and one at least of the components of each torque transmission train exhibits a flexibility in deformation about the axis of rotation of the hub.

A button processing method and a data processing apparatus that improve the operability of buttons when a display device with a display screen of small size is employed. In cases where an output image includes a button, when a display image is displayed on a display device with a small display device size, e.g., 6.5 inches, the size of the button in an image space is enlarged n times at a button enlargement ratio determined in accordance with the display device size. In contrast, when a display image is displayed on the display device with a larger display device size, e.g., 8 inches, the size of the button in an image space is enlarged, e.g., n / 1.23 times at a button enlargement ratio determined in accordance with the display device size. That is, the smaller the size of the display screen of the display device, the larger the enlargement ratio of the size of the button in the image space, so that the button is displayed in predetermined size on the display device regardless of the display screen size of the display device.

A new process flow is provided for the creation of a fuse contact and a bond pad. The invention starts with a semiconductor substrate over the surface of which is provided top level metal and fuse metal in the surface of a layer of insulation deposited over the surface of the substrate. A first etch stop layer is deposited over the surface of the layer of insulation over which a first passivation layer is deposited, an opening is created through these layers exposing the top level metal. A metal plug is created overlying the exposed surface of the top level metal. A stack of a patterned and etched hard mask layers, having been deposited at part of the creation of the metal plug and overlying a layer of metal plug material, remains in place over the surface of the created metal plug. A second layer of passivation material is deposited, the second layer of passivation is patterned and etched exposing the surface of the first layer of passivation overlying the fuse metal and exposing the surface of the stack of hard mask layers overlying the created metal plug. The stack of hard mask layers is then removed from the surface of the metal plug, exposing the surface of the metal plug to serve as a contact pad and further reducing the thickness of the first layer of passivation over the surface of the fuse metal, making the fuse more accessible for fuse blowing.

Multi-processor computer systems with multiple levels of cache memories are slowed down in trying to process software locks for common functions. This invention obviates the problem for the vast majority of transactions by providing an alternate procedure for handling so-called communal locks differently from ordinary software locks. The alternative procedure is not used for ordinary (non communal software lock) data and instruction transfers. The function of the CSWL (Communal SoftWare Lock) is actually accomplished at a specific cache to which an individual CSWL is mapped to, rather than sending the lock to the requesting process, which also enhances efficiency.

The invention provides for the management of wireless resources, which can reduce call blocking by allowing high priority services, under suitable conditions, to use resources allocated to low priority services. Thus high priority services can pre-empt the usage of wireless resources by low priority services. This has the advantage of reducing call blocking for high priority calls, while permitting low priority calls to have more access to radio resources than conventional systems with the same call blocking rate. Thus a base station can implement a preemption mechanism that would reclaim Walsh Code and Forward Power resources from an active Supplemental Channel (SCH) burst in order to accommodate incoming Fundamental Channel (FCH) requests.

In an embodiment, a system is provided in which the private key is managed in hardware and is not visible to software. The system may provide hardware support for public key generation, digital signature generation, encryption / decryption, and large random prime number generation without revealing the private key to software. The private key may thus be more secure than software-based versions. In an embodiment, the private key and the hardware that has access to the private key may be integrated onto the same semiconductor substrate as an integrated circuit (e.g. a system on a chip (SOC)). The private key may not be available outside of the integrated circuit, and thus a nefarious third party faces high hurdles in attempting to obtain the private key.
