Abstract: While a storage region 15 is comprised of many dispersed
particulates (dots) (15a), the surface density of the particulates
(15a) is set to be higher than that of structural holes (pin holes)
produced in a tunnel insulating film (14a), or the number of the
particulates (15a) in the storage region (15) is set to five or more.
While a conduction region (13c) is formed by a polysilicon layer (13)
having a surface roughness of 0.1 nm to 100 nm, the number of the
particulates (15a) in the storage region (15) is set to be larger than

charges stored in the particulates formed in a region where no
defect occurs are not leaked. Thus, information can be held for a
long time.

Title: Method for adjusting total output of power engineering installations
Inventor: FRANK THOMAS
IPC: H02J3/14
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting the total output of power engineering installations, especially a group of electrical consumers. According to said method a base station determines the momentary total output of the power engineering installation; the basis station in a table records for each consumer their identification, current priority and expected switching behaviour; on the basis of a comparison of total output and at least one predetermined output value, the base station uses the table to determine a priority level which defines a limit between consumers which are to be subjected to load shedding, disconnected, run at normal operating mode or induced to save energy; the base station via a transmission medium transmits the priority level determined; said transmitted priority level is received by substations, each of which are assigned to a control unit which is assigned to least one consumer; the substations on the basis of a comparison of the priority level received with the current priority causes the consumers, as appropriate, to be subjected to load shedding, disconnected, to run at normal operating mode or induced to save energy; or the substations determine their current priority and transmit same via the transmission medium to the base station and the base station modifies the table on the basis of the priority transmitted by the substations.

Abstract: A system that allows service providers, consumer electronic (CE) manufacturers or standards bodies to define flexible security policies (110) for the execution of downloaded applications (120) on digital television (DTV) receivers (160). The current receiver environment in which a software application is to be run is evaluated. For example, environmental factors such as time of day, date, channel currently tuned in, parental lockout status, grouping of major and minor virtual channels, and so forth, may be considered. An access controller (168) determines if the receiver's environmental factors satisfy the conditions for granting a permission to a downloadable application to allow access to the receiver functions (161), receiver resources and user private data. The security policy can be modified by installing or downloading a new security policy (110), or modified by a user with the provision of an appropriate interface. A Java code-implemented embodiment is disclosed.

Abstract: When energizing a capacitive load (1), current peaks occur which can, for example, lead to the fusion of contacts of contactors (4, 10, 20). A circuit for limiting the making current comprises thermistors (40) which are provided for reducing the flow of current during energizing. When another thermistor (44) has been sufficiently heated by the flow of current, the thermistor (44) short-circuits and the capacitive load (1) receives the full operating voltage (2). After deenergizing, a voltage divider (44, 48) of a transistor (46) which is compensated for the surrounding temperature prevents immediate reenergizing until the other thermistor (44) and all thermistors (40) have sufficiently cooled down.
