Abstract: An integrated circuit memory is disclosed which has its primary memory array arranged into blocks and which has redundant columns, each of which can replace a column in any one of the blocks. The redundant columns are selected by way of a redundant column decoder, associated with each column. A plurality of redundant sense amplifiers are each associated with selected redundant columns. Each of the redundant column decoders includes a set of address fuses for storing the column address responsive to which its associated redundant column is to be selected, and which are in series with pass gates which are turned on when redundancy is enabled, and turned off otherwise. This arrangement of address fuses and pass gates reduces and balances the loading of the decoder on the address lines, may be implemented with fewer transistors and thus in reduced chip area relative to conventional decoders, and also reduces the propagation delay through the decoder. The coupling of each redundant sense amplifier is controlled by a redundant multiplexer associated with each of the input/output terminals. Each redundant multiplexer receives the redundant column select signals from each redundant column decoder corresponding thereto, and includes fuses which indicate if its input/output terminal is to be placed in communication with its associated sense amplifier upon selection of a redundant column. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a feeding-bottle device with adjustable air inlet. This device comprises a feeding-bottle (2) having a top-edge face (9), a clamping ring (3) having a flange (10) opposite this top-edge face (9), and a teat (1) having a collar (18) interposed between the flange (10) and the top-edge face (9). By varying the degree by which the clamping ring (3) is screwed onto the feeding-bottle (2), the air inlet passages (26) between the collar (18) of the teat (1) and the top-edge face (9) can be closed or opened. In order to allow a fine adjustment of the cross-section presented by these air inlet passages (26), the clamping ring (3) and the feeding-bottle (2) have respective screwing means (30, 31), the first consisting of studs (32) and the second of inclines (137) which are capable of interacting with these studs and have a milder slope in a screwing zone (41) with clamping of the collar (18) than in a non-clamping screwing zone (42). <IMAGE>

Date Aug. 4, 1994This invention relates to a pump and refrigeration system including an evaporator from which refrigerant vapor is withdrawn by an absorber and absorbent is recharged by a generator. Further, a condenser is provided between the generator and the evaporator so that refrigerant vapor from the generator can be condensed prior to being returned to the evaporator. In addition, the system is provided with an ejector which is positioned downstream of the evaporator so as to withdraw refrigerant vapor from same and upstream of the condenser so that said withdrawn refrigerant vapor passes through the ejector to the condenser. Thus, in the system of the invention, both an absorber and ejector withdraw refrigerant vapor from the evaporator, thus enhancing the efficiency of the system and further refrigerant vapor passing through the ejector is delivered directly to a condenser, thus reducing the burden of the absorber.

Abstract: A process for removal of bacteria such as Salmonella from fresh poultry and other meats involves contact of the carcass or carcass pieces with an aqueous solution preferably containing about 0.001% to about 0.2% by weight of a metal chlorite and sufficient acid to adjust the pH of the solution from about 2.2 to about 4.5, to maintain the chlorite ion concentration in the form of chlorous acid to not more than about 35% by weight of the total amount of chlorite ion concentration in the solution, and to minimize chlorine dioxide generation and associated discoloration of the meat. Preferred acids are selected such that, when mixed into a 0.1% by weight sodium chlorite solution to adjust the pH to about 2.95 and held for 30 minutes at about 25 DEG  C., no more than about 2 ppm chlorine dioxide are generated. In some embodiments, preferred acids are strong inorganic acids such as phosphoric, hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. Preferred metal chlorites are alkali metal chlorites such as sodium or potassium chlorite. The meats are dipped in and/or sprayed with the solution, which may optionally contain food-grade wetting or thickening agents.
