A disaster-tolerant data backup and remote copy system which is implemented as a controller-based replication of one or more LUNs (logical units) between two remotely separated pairs of array controllers connected by redundant links. In the situation wherein an array controller fails during an asynchronous copy operation, the partner array controller uses a ‘micro log’ stored in mirrored cache memory to recover transactions, in order, which were ‘missed’ by the backup storage array when the array controller failure occurred.

A flexible manufacturing system utilizing modular work stations configured to provide asynchronous operations on a plurality of work pieces mounted on fixtures or pallets that are transported through the system by means of a conveyor or rail arrangement.

A high-speed random number generator (1) comprising a physical random number generator, having a data input, an output and a pseudo-random generator coupled to the output of the physical random generator. The pseudo-random generator has an input adapted to receive a germ delivered by the physical generator and deliver at an output a pseudo-random output signal. The physical generator comprises a logic circuit that includes at least a data input (D) and a clock input (CLK), the data input (D) receiving a first "high frequency" clock signal H1 and the clock input (CLK) receiving a second "low frequency" clock signal H2, with the "high frequency" signal H1 being sampled by the "low frequency" signal H2. The two clock signals H1 and H2 are of different frequencies respectively and issue from two different first (OSC1 and OSC2) operating asynchronously from one another and not adhering to the setup time of the logic circuit (10). The logic circuit is arranged to deliver at an output a signal in an intermediate state qualified as metastable between "0" and "1" and being constituted by a random number sequence. The metastability of the signal obtained as an output from the logic circuit (10) is accentuated by phase noise of the first oscillator (OSC1) generating the "high frequency" signal H1. The pseudo-random generator is arranged to re-inject part of the pseudo-random output signal into the physical generator. An internal memory stores the random numbers obtained as output signals from the pseudo-random generator. The two generators run on the same second "high frequency" clock H generated by the external oscillator (7).
