Title: Antifuse detect circuit
Inventor: CASPER STEPHEN L
IPC: G11C7/06
Filed: 1997-08-01
Granted: 2005-01-26
Abstract: An antifuse detect circuit senses the conductance of a programmable element, such as an antifuse or fuse, and provides a logic output corresponding to the state of the programmable element. A capacitor precharges a comparator input above its input voltage trip point. The programmable element discharges the comparator input below the trip point depending upon its conductance state. The circuit allows quick and accurate sensing of the state of the programmable element, even when it is only marginally conductive, and improves reliability of the programmable element. The programmable element is used in remapping memory cells such as in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The state of the programmable element is sensed during precharging of addressing logic, and optionally latched when a row address strobe (RAS) signal is asserted.

Granted: 2003-07-30
Abstract: A process for the production of saturated oligomers by the oligomerization of light olefins to heavier olefins and the saturation of the heavy olefins is improved by the recycle of the heavy paraffins to the oligomerization zone. The recycle of the heavy paraffins improves the selectivity of the oligomerization for C8 paraffin products and reduces catalyst fouling. The reduced catalyst fouling can be used to operate the oligomerization zone at lower pressure and facilitate its integration with a dehydrogenation zone for the production of the light olefin stream. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for manufacturing polyol complex esters. According to the method, a polyol, such as BEPD or NPG, is reacted with mono- and polyvalent acids in the presence of a catalyst to produce a reaction blend containing complex esters. According to the invention the acid components of the reaction blend are neutralized with a tertiary amine, and the complex esters are recovered from the thus treated reaction blend. The basic amines that are used form salt-like compounds with the carboxylic acids. The compounds enter the aqueous phase, from which they are easily separated, whereby the complex esters are recovered with high yield.

Abstract: A composition and method for use in the peroxide, oxygen, or peroxide/oxygen stage of brightening pulps with less than 18 % lignin utilize a megnesium compound in a sodium silicate solution to form a higher percentage of high molecular weight silicates. Such high molecular weight silicates preferentially adsorb transition metal impurities which, if left in solution, would tend to decompose hydrogen peroxide and organic peroxides. Hydrogen peroxide is added to peroxide and peroxide/oxygen stages, while it is generated, along with organic peroxides, during an oxygen stage. Decomposition decreases the amount of peroxide that actually reacts with lignin and generates free radicals that attack the desired product, carbohydrate fibers. The high molecular weight silicates can be formed by using any magnesium compound which dissociates to form Mg(OH)<+> cations, which in turn cause a silicate polymerization reaction. The formation of Mg(OH)<+> cations from magnesium compounds occurs most realidy over a pH range of at least about 8 and preferably between about 8 and about 12. The magnesium compound is added in an amount to achieve an Mg:SiO2 mass ratio of between about 1:46 to about 1:2, and preferably between about 1:15 to about 1:3.
