Abstract: L'invention concerne un agent à action rapide pour préparer des boissons froides et chaudes à base d'eau potable, notamment du café ou du thé. Tenant compte des inconvénients que présente la technique actuelle, l'invention vise à créer un agent à action rapide pour préparer des boissons froides et chaudes à base d'eau potable, cet agent étant de manipulation aisée, ayant une action constante et homogène, supprimant les risques de formation microbienne et améliorant sensiblement le goût de la boisson au bout d'une durée de traitement relativement courte de l'eau potable. A cet effet, l'agent de l'invention est constitué de fibres de cellulose, lesquelles sont modifiées par réaction chimique avec formation de groupes d'ester de phosphate et présentent une capacité d'échange ionique d'au moins 50 mg de cuivre par gramme de fibres sèches, cet agent entrant en contact au moins brièvement, durant quelques minutes, par immersion dans l'eau à boire ou de macération. La modification chimique est réalisée par phosphorylation des fibres de cellulose avec de l'acide phosphorique ou du phosphate d'ammonium, jusqu'à ce que la teneur en phosphore représente 3 à 8 % de la masse. Pour augmenter la stabilité mécanique des fibres, la phosphorylation peut être combinée à un traitement à l'urée, jusqu'à obtention d'une teneur en azote sous forme de groupes carbamide d'au moins 1 % de la masse. Les fibres de cellulose modifiées ont une action si rapide qu'après immersion dans l'eau de préparation, au bout de quelques minutes seulement et après brassage éventuel du liquide, le goût de l'eau, donc de la boisson ainsi préparée, est notablement amélioré, l'arôme de ladite boisson n'étant pas altéré.

Abstract: The invention is a method and a circuit for writing data (DATA) from a processor (603) to a non-volatile memory ( 602 ) embedded in an integrated circuit. The main objective is to optimize the use of this embedded non-volatile memory. The method comprises a number of steps: The data to be written to the non-volatile memory ( 602 ) is first transferred to a volatile memory ( 601 ). Thereafter, a wait signal (wait) will be send to the processor ( 603 ). Then, the data (DATA) will be transferred from the volatile memory ( 601 ) to the non-volatile memory ( 602 ). At last, the wait signal (wait) will be removed. Thus the non-volatile memory ( 602 ) can be used both as instruction memory and as RAM, which achieves the main goal of this invention. The corresponding circuitry is a complex integrated circuit equipped to execute the above functions.

Abstract: Within a processing of a sender task, a transmission
request occurs that a data item be sent to a processing of a
recipient task. The data item is then once stored (Step 110) in
a queue from which the recipient task can retrieve the data item
when the recipient task is thereafter activated. When the data
item is stored, it is determined (Step 130) whether the queue
already stores another data item. When no another data item is
being stored, an activation request for activating the recipient
task is outputted (Step 130, Step 140) to the operating system.
When another data item is being stored, no activation request is
outputted (Step 130). Within the processing of the recipient
task, all the data items are retrieved from the queue (Step 240,
Step 210). This decreases the activation/termination of the
recipient task, reducing the processing load.
