Abstract: The method for selecting an access line of a memory of EEPROM type with serial access, implemented in the form of an integrated circuit, includes a selection from the group of access lines (AL0-AL7) of the same nature, e.g. the bit lines or the word lines, by a line code for p (=3) bits associated with each access line of the group, and comprises the following steps: (a) the activation of all access lines of the group; (b) the reception, by the intermediary of an input of serial data (D1), of a bit (Ai) of determined rank of code of access line to select; and (c) the de-activation of a part of other access lines as a function of bit (Ai). The latter two steps, (b) and (c), are repeated successively p times for each bit of line code, so that at the end of p iterations only the selected access line remains activated. The access lines which are de-activated at step (c) are the access lines which line code presents a bit rank i of value different from that of the received bit at step (b). The group of access lines comprises 2p lines, and half of lines still activated is de-activated at each iteration. All access lines are simultaneously activated, at step (1). The bits of line code received at step (b) are included in the address bits of memory word on which an operation defined by an instruction received according to a serial protocol is carried out. The set of access lines is an ordered set, according to increasing or decreasing binary values of associated line codes. A decoder of access lines implementing the method comprises latches (10-107), each coupled to an access line (AL0-AL7), each latch comprising switching, activation and de-activation means operated as a function of selection signals (Bit0,Bit1,Bit2,Bit0 bar, Bit1 bar, Bit2 bar), the means for putting all latches into active state, and the means for the generation of selection signals as a function of bits of line code. The switching means of a latch comprise an inverter connected between input and output, thee activation means comprise a controlled interrupter, and the de-activation means comprise the decoding means including p MOS transistors with the gates connected to the selection inputs, and one with the gate connected to the output of latch. The means for the generation of selection signals comprise 2p logic gates of NAND type (NE1-NE6), the first p gates receiving p bits of the line code, and the second p gates receiving the logic inverses of p bits of the line code. A memory in the form of an integrated circuit comprises a planar memory array with memory cells accessible by a group of bit lines and a group of word lines, a decoder of bit lines (COLDEC) and a decoder of word lines (ROWDEC).

Abstract: An intraluminal prothesis able to expand radially regarding to a central
axis, inside of a body lumen, for example an artery, is presented. The
prothesis consists of a series of filaments describing a cylindrical
prothesis contour. Each filament consists of a series of curves, each
curve having at least a lowest point and a top. Between the adjacent
filaments there are gaps. Each gap is bridged by an axial omega shaped
element as a connecting part. Each connecting part is attached to
adjacent filaments the height of the tops so that the prothesis shortening
occurs at radial expansion. Other elements can be placed between the
adjacent peripheral elements to obtain a different grade of flexibility
between the adjacent filaments. The specific configuration of the
prothesis allows further treatment of the branches by the prothesis. 
     By using water guided laser cutting technology and specific
electrochemical polishing technology a more biocompatible prothesis is
obtained, causing less thrombogenicity and less foreign body reaction. 
     By covering an intraluminal prothesis with a titaniumnitride coating the
biocompatibility of the prothesis is improved. 
     By applying perforations or holes, an intraluminal prothesis can be used
to locally administer medicines, genes and or other substances to
prevent in this way thrombotic occlusions and/or neointimal hyperplasia
and prothesis narrowing. Using this specific perforated prothesis design
the total drug capacity can be increased and also the drug release time
prolongs significantly.

Abstract: A portable electronic device and method manage battery-produced power without lowering sound quality for music and other sound effects. In the present invention, an operation clock of the CPU of the portable electronic device and a processing wait time for image drawing are dynamically controlled. When there is no sound emission request, the CPU runs at a low clock rate. Where there is a sound emission request, the CPU runs at a high clock speed. When the sound emission ends, the CPU returns to the low clock rate. A user senses no apparent change, as the CPU slows screen drawing speed at high clock speed and increases screen drawing speed at low clock speed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé destiné à réduire sélectivement l'impédance présentée à la charge (117) d'un étage de sortie d'un amplificateur à transformation d'impédance réactive, qui permet de réduire la distorsion causée par la réactance de la charge. Un circuit de commande (122) est interconnecté à un commutateur commandé par porte (102, 104) d'au moins un côté de la charge, le commutateur étant commandé pour shunter la force contre-électromotrice depuis la charge.Dans un mode de réalisation, le shuntage commence lorsque l'énergie libérée tend vers zéro avec une charge purement résistive. Comme le temps de retard peut être fonction de l'énergie libérée, le retard entre la libération de l'énergie et le début de shuntage est, de préférence, une fonction du temps de stockage de l'énergie de l'inducteur. Dans le cas où ce temps de stockage de l'énergie serait régulé par rétroaction, le retard de shuntage devrait être également régulé pour accentuer l'action de régulation. Dans un mode de réalisation encore plus complet, on inverse la polarité des entrées de l'amplificateur et l'on fait en sorte que ses sorties soient une fonction de l'erreur positive dans le cas d'une erreur positive importante, par exemple, de celle provoquée par une charge inductive.

Abstract: An electronic blood pressure meter determines, in a inflation process
(ST1), pressure Ps correlated to systolic pressure, pressure Pd correlated to
diastolic pressure and pulse wave period Pc (ST2, ST3), and then calculates
deflation rate def- v in a deflation process by means of the following
formula (ST4),
 def - v = (Ps - Pd - mb1) × Pc/N 
where N represents the number of required beats. Further, maximum
inflation value Inf - max is calculated by means of the following formula
(ST5),
 Inf - max = def-v · (np × Pc + α) + Ps + β1. 
The pressure is
increased to reach the calculated maximum value and then deflation is
started at the calculated deflation rate (ST7, ST8). The blood pressure
meter can thus be provided capable of performing precise measurement in a
shortest time.
