Title: Testing a memory device
Inventor: CHOI HOON
IPC: G11C29/36
Filed: 1990-02-02
Abstract: A circuit for testing a memory device has a data writing means (M1 to M4), a data checking means (3), and a control circuit (1). A method for writing data and testing the memory device without using input/output lines (I/O) comprises the steps of generating a voltage difference between a pair of bit lines B/L and B/L using switches (M1 to M4) and a sense amplifier (2), as appropriate, and directly storing the data in a capacitor C1 of a memory cell (5). Each memory cell (5) can be checked by sensing (TQ, M8) the potential at a point H, the latter being influenced by switches (M5, M6) controlled by sensed (2) voltages of the bit lines and by control signals (E, F) from the control circuit (1). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2248999-A (GB)
Title: Telecommunication network
Inventor: SOMMERVILLE IAIN DOUGLAS
IPC: H04W12/06
Filed: 1990-10-17
Abstract: In a cellular telephone network, subscribers each have a token (such as a smartcard) by means of which they respectively identify themselves to the network. Each subscriber logs into the network by using his smartcard which inputs a unique identification number (IMSI) into the network. The relationship between each IMSI and the corresponding subscriber's telephone number (MSISDN) is random and stored in a home location register (HLR). When a subscriber activates a mobile using his smartcard, a visitor location register (VLR) at the relevant cell cheks for presence of the IMSI and the corresponding MSISDN. If they are not present, it extracts them from the HLR. When a replacement smartcard is issued to a subscriber, the new IMSI is stored in the HLR in association with the IMSI of the previous smartcard. When the replacement smartcard is first used, the relevant VLR will note its absence and will follow the same routine as specified above - by accessing the HLR. Not only will it thus obtain and store the MISISDN for the subscriber in association with the IMSI of the new smartcard, but this will also activate the HLR to note first use of the replacement smartcard, cancel all reference to the IMSI of the previous smartcard, and inform the administration centre of the network.

Title: Digital multiplex transmission system with convolutional coding
Inventor: YAMASHITA MASAMI
IPC: H04N21/2383
Filed: 1994-03-31
Abstract: A digital multiplex transmission system is disclosed wherein the rate of convolution codes can be changed over in accordance with an object of a users without necessarily changing the transmission rate. A frame e.g. Fig. 3 (not shown) for transmitting system data, first preliminary data, second preliminary data, scramble control data, audio data, video data and Reed-Solomon codes is constructed by allocation such that a boundary between adjacent ones of them may make a vertical straight line. Data of such frame are coded by convolution coding and then transmitted. When the transmission line is in a deteriorated condition, the rate of the convolution codes is reduced to increase the correcting faculty for the convolution codes. In contrast, when the transmission line is in a good condition, the rate of the convolution codes is increased to transmit a large amount of data. The system uses artificial satellites for broadcasting communications. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a method of and apparatus for grinding a cylindrical internal or external workpiece, the speed of the grinding wheel (14) and/or of the workpiece (18) is changed during the final dwell period in which sizing occurs, and the following additional steps are carried out: the rotational speed of the wheel and/or of the workpiece is measured, the target ratio of wheel speed to workpiece speed is calculated, and the speed of the wheel and/or workpiece is adjusted by a servo-controller (22) such that the desired ratio is altered to 0.25 if the mantissa of the target ratio is 0.5 or less, and if the mantissa is above 0.5 it is altered to 0.75. It is thereby ensured that the ratio of the changed speed(s) is not a whole integer or in the ratios of the second or third harmonies so that the tendency for generation of chatter-marks during grinding is reduced. <IMAGE>
