Abstract: A digital system and method of operation is provided in which the digital system has at least one processor, with an associated multi-segment cache memory circuit (506(n). A single global validity circuit (VIG) is connected to the memory circuit and is operable to indicate if any segment of the multiple segments holds valid data. Block transfer circuitry (700, 702) is connected to the memory circuit and is operable to transfer a block of data (1650) to a selected portion of segments (1606) of the cache memory circuit. The block circuitry is operable to transfer data from a pre-selected region of the secondary memory (1650) to a particular segment of the plurality of segments and to assert the global valid bit at the completion of a block transfer. Direct memory access (DMA) circuitry (1610) is connected to the memory cache for transferring data between the memory cache and a selectable region (1650) of a secondary memory and is also operable to assert the global valid bit at the completion of a DMA block transfer. The cache can be operated in a first manner such that when a transfer request from the processor requests a first location in the cache memory that does not hold valid data, valid data is transferred (1652) from a pre-selected location in a secondary memory that corresponds directly to the first location. The cache can then be operated in a second manner such that data is transferred (1662) between the first location and a selectable location in the secondary memory, wherein the selected location need not directly correspond to the first location. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of controlling the concentration of nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide in waste gases. A first lambda value (lambda1) of the air-fuel mixture is set to less than 1. The gases pass through a first catalyst and then through a second catalyst. The CO-concentration of the gases in the first catalyst is sufficiently high to reduce NO<SUB>x </SUB>to N<SUB>2</SUB>so that the NOx concentration is reduced to a predetermined value. Oxygen (O<SUB>2</SUB>) is introduced between the first catalyst and the second catalyst to oxidize both CO and HC to CO<SUB>2 </SUB>and H<SUB>2</SUB>O, to reduce the CO-concentration to a predetermined value. A second lambda value (lambda2) is measured in the gases downstream of the second catalyst, and a valve for regulating the air-fuel ratio is controlled so that the second lambda value (lambda2) lies within a predetermined range whose lower limit is higher than 1.

Abstract: A microphone system using left and right microphones produces good binaural cues as well as noise reduction by using two adaptive filters (56, 58). A noise enhanced reference signal (46) is sent to two different adaptive filters (56, 58). The output of each adaptive filter is combined with the left or right microphone signal, respectively, to produce left and right output signals. These left and right output signals are used as the error signals to modify the coefficients of the adaptive filters (56, 58). By using two adaptive filters, each of the adaptive filters is able to independently operate helping to preserve the binaural cues.
