Access to memory address space is controlled by memory access control circuitry using access control data. The ability to change the access control data is controlled by domain control circuitry. Whether or not an instruction stored within a particular domain, being a set of memory addresses, is able to modify the access control data is dependent upon the domain concerned. Thus, the ability to change access control data can be restricted to instructions stored within particular defined locations within the memory address space thereby enhancing security. This capability allows systems to be provided in which call forwarding to an operating system can be enforced via call forwarding code and where trusted regions of the memory address space can be established into which a secure operating system may write data with increased confidence that that data will only be accessible by trusted software executing under control of a non-secure operating system.

A gas vent valve assembly may be attached or incorporated to a disposable fluid transfer set used with a fluid warmer to administer an infusate to a patient. The gas vent valve assembly has a housing having a fluid inlet, a gas outlet and a fluid outlet. The gas outlet is located at the top of the housing while the fluid outlet is located at the bottom of the housing. The fluid inlet is located at a side lower portion of the housing. Inside the housing is an actuator float that has an upper seal and a lower seal. The dimension of the float relative to the chamber of the housing is such that the float is freely movable within the housing to an upper position whereby its upper seal closes the gas outlet while the fluid outlet is opened, and to a lower position whereby its lower seal closes the fluid outlet and the gas outlet is opened. The movement of the float is dependent on the respective amounts of air and fluid in the housing, and the buoyancy of the float relative to the fluid in the housing. When a predetermined volume of air gets inside the housing, the float sinks to its lower position to close the fluid outlet and open the gas outlet, so that the air inside the housing is vented to atmosphere while fluid is prevented from being output to the patient. When the amount of gas in the chamber has been reduced to a given volume, with a corresponding increase in the amount of fluid in the housing, the float is raised to open the fluid outlet, thereby enabling the fluid inside the housing to be output to the patient. At that time, the gas outlet is shut to prevent any reverse inflow of air into the housing.

In a method for heating up the intake air of an internal combustion engine during the preglow phase or start-up phase, the heating power is controlled by a control unit of the engine electronics as a function of the operating data of the internal combustion engine. During the preglow phase, the heating element is initially supplied with full current until the heating element reaches its reference temperature. After the reference temperature has been reached and until the start-up phase, a post-heating phase begins in which the heating element is kept at a constant temperature by way of a relatively low power. During the start-up phase, in a first time period, the heating element is switched off, and in a second time period in which the speed of the internal combustion engine is raised to the starting speed, the heating element is switched on again.

In a steering-without-driving state, a larger current limit value, drive limit time and steering angle deviation threshold value are set than when a low-speed driving state occurs. An automatic parking mode is held until a time period over which a state where a motor current value of an electric motor which drives a steering mechanism is equal to the current limit value reaches the drive limit time. Even though the state where the motor current value is equal to the current limit value has continued over the drive limit time, the automatic parking mode is held during the steering angle deviation not exceeding the steering angle deviation threshold value. When the state where the motor current value is equal to the current limit value has continued over the drive limit time Ta and that the steering angle deviation exceeds the threshold value, the automatic parking control is cancelled.

Methods for protecting the sidewall of a metal interconnect component using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes and using a single barrier metal material. After forming the metal interconnect component, a single barrier metal is deposited on its sidewall using PVD. A subsequent anisotropic etching of the barrier metal removes the barrier metal from the horizontal surface except for some that still remains on the top surface of the metal interconnect layer. A dielectric layer is then formed over the metal interconnect component and the barrier metal. The unlanded via is etched through the dielectric layer to the metal interconnect component, and then filled with a second metal to thereby allow the metal interconnect component to electrically connect with one or more upper metal layers.
