Abstract: Des chaînes (2) pour transporteurs à chaînes (1) utilisés de préférence dans des mines et des tunnels souterrains pour le transport de matières en vrac comprennent des maillons horizontaux et des maillons verticaux (5, 6) qui s'engagent mutuellement. Les maillons horizontaux (5) des deux tronçons adjacents (3, 4) de la chaîne sont reliés par des traverses (8, 9) à une ou deux parties en forme de dents réversibles au-dessous des maillons horizontaux transversalement à leur sens longitudinal. On obtient ainsi une sorte de chaîne dentée qui assure une transmission optimale des forces entre le barbotin (25) et la chaîne (2). Les deux tronçons (3, 4) de la chaîne, comme dans le cas de chaînes à double axe médian, s'étendent en général exactement au milieu de la chaîne. La forme spéciale des dents réversibles permet d'utiliser une telle chaîne (2) des deux côtés, en avant et en arrière, sans aucun risque. Compte tenu de la transmission douce des forces sur une grande surface, de la réversibilité de ces chaînes (2) et de leur capacité optimisée de transport, on obtient des vies utilesconsidérablement plus longues, ce qui est particulièrement important dans l'industrie minière souterraine, où l'usure est importante. Cela s'applique notamment aux traverses (8, 9) à deux parties reliées par des douilles de serrage (44) à pouvoir amortisseur élevé.

Abstract: Un panneau (42) émettant de la lumière se compose d'un substrat en plastique transparent dopé par un colorant fluorescent absorbant la lumière incidente passant à travers une superficie relativement grande, et émettant de la lumière d'une longueur d'onde plus longue par une bordure. La lumière incidente peut être ambiante ou produite par une source de lumière fluorescente. La lumière émise par la bordure est optiquement couplée dans une bordure d'un panneau d'affichage (44), pouvant être un affichage à cristaux liquides à dispersion polymère ou un panneau en plastique comportant une surface d'affichage réalisée avec une configuration gravée ou imprimée (56), une grille ou un hologramme. Les matières de substrat des panneaux émetteur et d'affichage, ainsi qu'un adhésif optique (52) joignant leurs bordures, ont de préférence un indice de réfraction supérieur à celui de l'air, provoquant ainsi la réflexion interne de la lumière se propageant à travers les panneaux et sa sortie de la structure uniquement par la configuration se trouvant sur la surface d'affichage. Ledite panneau d'affichage est de préférence transparent en l'absence de lumière incidente sur ledit émetteur, et produit un affichage visible uniquement à partir d'un sens lors de l'application de lumière incidente. Ledit panneau d'affichage peut se présenter sous la forme d'un feu stop monté de manière centrale élevée, pour un véhicule automobile.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprising those sequential steps including the following, formation of a floating gate electrode (25) on a region predetermined for the formation of the first conductive channel across an insulation film (24), followed by superimposition of a control gate electrode (27) on the floating gate electrode (25) across another insulation film (26). After completing the formation of the stacked gate electrode unit, the first conductive impurities are injected into silicone substrate by applying a minimum of 8 degrees of angle against the normal of this substrate under aid of ionic injection, and then forms a region (40b) containing strong density of the first conductive impurities adjacent to the boundary of a layer of diffused second conductive impurities which is at least predetermined to become the drain region (41b) of the transistor incorporating the stacked gate electrode unit. As a result of the provision of the region (40b) containing strong density of impurities injected in the oblique direction, the efficiency in the writing of data into the floating gate electrode (25) is significantly promoted, and at the same time occurrence of "short-channel" effect can securely be suppressed as well.

Abstract: This multi-master system has several masters (M1-Mm) accessing a global databus (DB) and several bus arbiters (BA1-BAm) accessing a global identification bus (IDB). Each active bus arbiter (BA1-BA4) places a bus request signal (BRQT1-BRQT4) on the identification bus (IDB), which signal contains a k-bit-wide identification word (IDW1-IDW4) representing the priority of the master (M1-Mm) allocated to the bus arbiter (BA1-BAm). In each prioritising step of the bus allocation cycle, a logic level is generated by a logical combination of bits of equal significance on the identification bus (IDB), which logic level is then compared with the corresponding bits of the identification words (IDW1-IDW4) applied. According to the invention, it is provided that the k bits of the identification words (IDW1-IDW4) of the bus arbiters (BA1-BA4) are applied to the identification bus (IDB) with time offset, that in each prioritising step of the bus allocation cycle (BZ1-BZ4), in each case only those bits of the identification words (IDW1-IDW4) which have equal binary significance are applied to the identification bus (IDB), and that in each prioritising step of the bus allocation cycle (BZ1-BZ4), those bus arbiters (BA1-BA4) in which the bit applied to the identification bus (IDB) in this prioritising step does not correspond to the logic level (LP) of the identification bus (IDB) are eliminated from the bus arbitration of this bus allocation cycle. <IMAGE>
