Abstract: A JTAG standard test system or similar test system with
additional circuitry which greatly reduces the number of test
vectors required to verify the instruction decode logic. This is
accomplished by capturing the decodes from a previous instruction
such that they can be sent out within a few clock cycles rather than
requiring the many thousands of clock cycles needed to verify that
the decodes were doing that which they were supposed to do in
accordance with the prior art procedures. Since most of the decode
logic used by the instructions is common to other instructions, the
effect of the logic only has to be verified by a single instruction
using that part of the decode. Following that single verification,
if the instruction decode test register is included, verification of
the decode for following instructions can be accomplished by simply
reading out the value held in the instruction decode test register
of the invention. The instruction decode test register is
automatically loaded with the decode of the previous JTAG
instruction. This method greatly reduces the redundancy that would
be required for decode verification on ASICs that do not contain the
instruction decode test register.

Abstract: The pressure increases of a hydraulic pressure
control module for controlling the braking forces of
wheels are decided on the basis of wheel speeds (Vw)
and a vehicle speed (Vso) estimated from the maximum
wheel speed (Vw). In this case, on condition that
the incremental rate (DVso) of the vehicle speed
(Vso) exceeds a predetermined threshold value (α),
the vehicle speed (Vso) exhibited before the
incremental rate (DVso) exceeds the threshold value
(α) is kept as an estimated vehicle speed (Vso),
which is used for deciding the pressure increases.
Thus, the pressure increases can be appropriately
decided even in a situation where a motor vehicle
passes through a very-low-µ road part or a drop in
road level.

Abstract: Element of contenance of expanded materials used for the walls insulation expecially
of refrigerators; this element of contenance 1 is formed of a cover made of fabric
conformed to the basin 2 of the refrigerator, anyway with bigger dimensions to the
thickness of the interplace of insulation. This cover is fixed with its margin to the
correspondent perimetral margin 23 of the basin 2 and it presents in correspondence
with the usual introduction point point of the expanded material, the tube 12. 
     The assembling of the basin 2, covered by the element of contenance 1 and of the
other components of the cold store takes place as usually but the expanded material is
injected through the mentioned tube 12 in the space resulting between the walls of
basin 2 and the cover of the element of contenance 1 to adhere the same to the
opposite walls of contenance. 
     The application of the element of contenance 1 prevents the outcoming of the
expanded material and the subsequent forming of slabbers in the critical areas.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for operating an asymmetric
digital subscriber loop modem system. A modem at a
central office transmits information to a modem at a
remote terminal on a down-stream signal having a
predetermined bandwidth and the modem at the remote
terminal transmits information to the modem at the
central office on an up-stream signal having a bandwidth
lower than the predetermined bandwidth of the down-stream
signal. Digital samples of the up-stream eignal in the
central office modem are produced. Digital samples
representative of an estimated echo signal in the central
office modem are also produced. The digital samples of
the up-stream signal and the digital samples
representative of an estimated echo signal are both fed
to a subtractor at the same rate. In a preferred
embodiment, the up-stream signal is oversampled (i.e., is
sampled at a rate greater than the Nyquist sampling rate)
in producing the digital samples thereof. Samples of the
down-stream signal are fed to an echo cancellation
filter. The filter output is decimated to a
predetermined rate. The samples of the oversampled up-stream
signal are decimated producing samples at the
predetermined rate. Both the decimated samples of the
oversampled up-stream signal and the decimated samples of
the filter are fed to the subtractor at the predetermined
rate.
