Abstract: A circuit (102,103) for controlling the write head (101) of a magnetic disk storage device includes
a pull-up device (104) for selectively providing a current to the write head and a
current sink circuit (106) selectively activated to draw current from the write head. A
bootstrap circuit (108) is coupled to the current sink circuit. When reversing the
direction of current flow through the write head from a first direction to the write
head to a second direction from the write head terminal, the bootstrap circuit and
the current sink circuit are activated to rapidly draw current from the write head.
When the current in the write head nears and/or slightly surpasses the desired
destination level, the bootstrap circuit is deactivated.

Abstract: The bundle switch for an asynchronous transfer mode
network is the basic element of an ATM switching matrix,
and is meant to switch bundles of 8, 12 or 20 4-bit words,
known as micro-cells, organised in frames. It has eight
inputs and four outputs so that it to serve as a basic
switching elements for eight inputs and eight outputs the
inputs of two bundle switching circuits are bypassed. For
switching, depending on the header of the micro-cells at
input they are routed to a given output. Additionally, it
prevents information losses and contention problems for
said miro-cells by a selection and queue algorithm at the
output of the switching circuit. It is also provided with
automatic synchronisation between the data clock and the
system clock and error detection.

Abstract: A scaled-up multi-coaxial fiber bioreactor, and variations of this bioreactor. The device is characterized by a hollow housing and an array of from about 20 to about 400 modules of hollow fibers, where each module includes at least three coaxial semipermeable hollow fibers. The innermost fiber provides a boundary for an innermost compartment which is connected to inlet and outlet ports. Arranged coaxially around the central hollow fiber are several other hollow fibers with their respective compartments, each compartment defined by a respective annular space between adjacent fibers and each including inlet and outlet ports. An outermost compartment for permitting integral aeration is the space between the outer side of the outermost fibers and the inner side of the housing, and has inlet and outlet ports. The hollow housing has inlet and outlet manifolds and flow distributors for each of the compartments. In a preferred embodiment, the bioreactor is used as an extracorporeal liver. Liver cells are introduced into one or more annular compartments and media and aeration are provided in others. Plasma from an ailing patient is introdued into another compartment for biotransformation of blood-borne toxins and biosynthesis of proteins, lipids, and other metabolic products.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de récolte, le procédé consistant à couper et à battre les cultures, à séparer la paille (pédoncules de plantes) du mélange grain-paille (un mélange de grains, de paille, de graines de mauvaise herbe et d'autres matières organiques), et à replacer la paille dans le champ. Ces opérations sont, de préférence, réalisées dans une unité de récolte du type tracté possédant un réservoir de stockage du mélange grain-paille. Le grain-paille rassemblé est acheminé à un moulin de nettoyage fixe, située à un autre emplacement, au moyen d'un véhicule approprié, tel qu'un camion. Le stockage du grain-paille avant le nettoyage est évité grâce au moulin de nettoyage et, de préférence, à l'unité de récolte et au véhicule, ce qui évite les problèmes causés par le pauvre débit du grain-paille. L'invention concerne également divers détails d'équipement.

Abstract: A method and system thereof for efficiently computing the number of dies per wafer and the corresponding number of stepper shots. Dimensions for a die and the size of the wafer are received. The dimensions comprise a die element size that is a function of a scribe lane width, a guard ring width, an input/output pad area, and a length and a width of the die. A die count lookup table is selected for the specified wafer size and used to determine the die count corresponding to the die element size. In a similar manner, a stepper shot count lookup table is selected for the specified wafer size and used to determine the stepper shot count corresponding to the die element size. Because the die element size accounts for the different production parameters, a die count lookup table and a stepper shot count lookup table need to exist only for each wafer size, significantly reducing the number of required lookup tables and correspondingly reducing the amount of storage space and maintenance required.

Abstract: In general, a built-in self test circuit and method is
provided that measures error in any periodic signal and,
particularly, a Phase Lock Loop (PLL) output clock signal. The
circuit includes a short-pulse generator that generates a short-pulse
signal having the same frequency as the phase lock loop
output clock signal. Accordingly, a delay chain, including a
plurality of delay elements, generates N delayed pulses from the
short-pulse signal. A hit-pulse generator receives the N
delayed pulses and compares each delayed pulse with the phase
lock loop output clock signal 2 K  times, such that the hit-pulse
generator also generates a hit-pulse when both signals are high.
It also generates a hit count which represents the number of
hit-pulses. After each of the N delayed pulses are compared with
the clock signal 2 k  times, a comparator compares a predetermined
set of threshold values corresponding to the cumulative
distribution of jitter for a PLL clock signal with the hit
count. When the hit count and one of the predetermined set of
threshold values are equivalent, the storage unit stores the
value of N. A processing unit calculates the error of the PLL
clock signal using each stored value of N which directly relates
to the cumulative distribution of jitter found in the PLL clock
signal.

Abstract: A method for determining the location of a pattern, when
input in isolation, within a representative input signal
is provided. The method aligns (s21) the input signal
with a signal representative of a plurality of connected
patterns, one of which is the same as the pattern within

location determined using this apparatus can be used to
determine (s23) an isolated reference model by extracting
features of the input signal from the location found.
This isolated reference model can then be used to
generate (s25 and s27) a continuous reference model for
the pattern, by aligning the isolated reference model
with the signals representative of a plurality of
connected patterns, one of which is the pattern to be
modelled.
