Abstract: Dans un circuit de verrouillage, une première grille de transmission est couplée en série électriquement à une seconde grille de transmission entre une ligne d'entrée et une ligne de sortie. Le circuit de verrouillage est commandé par un signal d'horloge unique, un élément à retard étant utilisé pour valider simultanément les deux grilles de transmission sur un front du signal d'horloge. La durée pendant laquelle les deux grilles de transmission sont validées est déterminée par une temporisation électrique associée à l'élément à retard. Lorsque les deux grilles de transmission sont validées, la ligne d'entrée est couplée électriquement à la ligne de sortie. Un circuit de stockage se trouvant au niveau de la sortie de la seconde grille de transmission conserve une valeur logique à la sortie du circuit de verrouillage après que la ligne d'entrée ait été découplée de la ligne de sortie. Selon une mise en application, l'élément à retard est mis en place avec un ensemble d'inverseurs couplés en série, et la durée de la temporisation commande la fenêtre de temporisation pendant laquelle les grilles de transmission sont validées. Le circuit de verrouillage peut être utilisé entre les étages pipeline du processeur.

Abstract: A remote user (18) at a remote (12) computer accesses a computer network (14) via a remote access device (16) coupled (directly or indirectly) to the network (14). The remote access device receives from the remote computer a request for an identifier. The request does not include any information that uniquely identifies the remote computer or the user thereat. In response to the request, the remote access device generates a client identifier that uniquely identifies the remote computer and then provides that unique client identifier to the remote computer. The remote access device can generate the unique client identifier by concatenating a hardware-level address associated with the remote access device (e.g., a Medium Access Control or MAC address) and the current date and time. The remote computer can store the unique client identifier for future use, and the remote access device can use the unique client identifier to obtain services available on the computer network. For example, the remote access device can use the unique client identifier to identify uniquely the remote computer to a server on the computer network which dynamically assigns Internet Protocol (IP) addresses in order to obtain an IP address for the remote computer.

Abstract: The invention concerns a biodegradable starch composition, a process for the preparation thereof, the use of the composition and a process for increasing the degradation rate of intermediate products manufactured from starch derivatives and/or products made therefrom under conditions of biodegradation. According to the invention the composition contains 5 to 99 wt-% of a plastisized starch derivative and 1 to 95 wt-% of a biodegradable fibrous material. The microstructure of the composition is discontinuous and formed by a phase containing the starch derivate and a phase containing the fibrous material and any porosity, and its impact strength is at least 10 % better than the corresponding values of a plastisized starch derivative. The composition may further contain 0.01 to 30 wt.% of a biodegradable polyester, such as polylactide, polycaprolactone or a cellulose ester. According to the invention, the biodegradable starch composition is prepared by esterification of starch with glycerol in order to form a mixture containing starch acetate and acetic acid and then the mixture is blended with a biodegradable fibrous material for producing a composition which has a discontinuous microstructure. The invention provides a melt processible composition having good water resistance and mechanical properties which can be regulated by changing the relative amounts and the qualities of the components of the composition.

Abstract: A stairway for a motor coach is located in one side wall of the motor coach immediately adjacent the front wall and in front of the front wheel well. The stairway cooperates with a hinged door mounted at the front wall and openable to an angle less than 90 DEG  from the coach side. The stairway is defined by a plurality of steps of equal riser height together with two vertical side walls each on a respective side of the stairway. The walls are smoothly curved around a center of curvature rearwardly of the stairway and to one side of the coach so that the stairway smoothly curves from a front edge at the doorway to a ramp section of the aisle commencing at a line at right angles to the side of the coach. The front edge of each step is at an angle to the front edge of the next step so that the steps provide gradual turning from the side of the coach to the front of the aisle. The stairway commences initially into the coach in a direction slightly toward the front of the coach so as to cooperate with the door in directing the passengers along the side of the coach, into the stairway, around the stairway and onto the aisle.
