IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1998-01-06
Abstract: A memory device requires a minimum of two input/output lines from an external testing device to be coupled thereto. A first DQ line from the memory device provides a direct data path from the array so that the external tester can read data from the array at the maximum speed of the memory device. Test mode circuitry for multiplexing and comparing multiple DQ lines during address compression mode is coupled to two or more DQ lines, including the first DQ line. The compression mode testing circuitry can include on-chip comparators that compare the data simultaneously written to, and read from, the memory device. The comparison circuitry outputs a data test flag indicating whether or not the data read from the memory device matches. The test flag is output through a multiplexer to a second DQ line. As a result, the speed of the device can be tested from the first DQ line, while the results of on-chip comparison can be sampled at the second DQ line.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil pour déterminer l'emplacement des yeux du conducteur d'un véhicule ayant un rétroviseur intérieur central, qui comprend un capteur de distance, un détecteur d'orientation, un processeur de signal. Le capteur de distance mesure la distance entre le rétroviseur central et la tête du conducteur. Le détecteur d'orientation détecte l'orientation du rétroviseur intérieur. Une fois que le conducteur a ajusté manuellement le rétroviseur intérieur, le conducteur actionne un interrupteur, qui active le capteur de distance et le détecteur d'orientation. Le processeur de signal, de préférence un micro-ordinateur, utilise l'équation d'une parabole dans l'espace pour déterminer l'emplacement du foyer de la parabole et ainsi l'emplacement des yeux du conducteur.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de détection de gaz permettant de distinguer en un seul point deux gaz émis simultanément et, en particulier, de mesurer la concentration individuelle de chaque gaz en ce point. Le dispositif comprend deux passages de flux dans lesquels on introduit un échantillon comprenant les deux gaz, des moyens d'aspiration de gaz permettant d'attirer l'échantillon dans et à travers les passages de flux et des moyens permettant d'irradier chacun des passages de flux avec des rayonnements ultraviolets d'énergie différente. Le dispositif peut comprendre deux sources de rayonnements ultraviolets, chacune des sources (par exemple, une lampe à krypton et un lampe à argon) émettant des rayonnements dans l'un des passages de flux. L'irradiation des gaz (par exemple du propane et du propylène) de l'échantillon permet d'ioniser ces gaz, l'un d'eux étant ionisé par le rayonnement dans l'un des passages de flux et l'autre étant ionisé par le rayonnement dans les deux passages de flux. A chaque passage de flux sont associées une électrode de polarisation et une électrode collectrice qui sont disposées en aval des passages de flux irradiés. Les courants dans l'électrode collectrice fournissent une indication du ou des gaz ionisés dans chaque passage de flux. L'invention se rapporte également à un procédé permettant de mesurer, en un seul point, les concentrations individuelles des deux gaz émis simultanément. On peut utiliser cette mesure pour la mise au point de modèles et d'autres instruments permettant de déterminer les dangers ou nuisances dues aux gaz. Le dispositif et le procédé de la présente invention possèdent une application particulière dans la surveillance de la pollution, la détection de gaz de dépistage atmosphérique et dans le suivi des processus d'émission de gaz ou de vapeurs.
