Abstract: L'invention concerne une serviette hygiénique qui est fine (moins de 5mm d'épaisseur), hautement absorbante et qui présente une rigidité latérale comparativement élevée lorsqu'elle est saturée. Cette rigidité latérale élevée à l'état de saturation confère à la serviette hygiénique une excellente stabilité lorsque cette serviette est humide, ce qui réduit les risques de déformation non maîtrisée, désignée sous le nom de vrillage, imputable aux forces de compression qu'exercent les cuisses de l'utilisatrice contre la serviette.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de tester une matrice mémoire en la reliant simultanément à deux dispositifs : un générateur de stimuli permettant de générer une suite de stimuli de ligne, et des moyens d'évaluation permettant d'évaluer une suite de réponses résultant de la suite de stimuli. Dans la phase « hors test », les deux dispositifs sont réglés de manière à fonctionner selon un mode transparent. Dans la phase test, un mode générateur de stimuli et un mode d'évaluation des réponses est activé respectivement dans les deux dispositifs, et dans la phase réparation succédant au test, des interventions de réparation opérées sur les lignes et/ou les colonnes sont autorisées à concurrence d'un nombre maximal de lignes et de colonnes. Un test mis en oeuvre sur la puce comprend un comptage du nombre de défauts pour chaque colonne jusqu'à concurrence d'un nombre de défauts dépassant le nombre maximal de lignes réparables faisant alors apparaître l'indication « à réparer » pour la colonne en question. Pour la signalisation, un ou plusieurs défauts additionnels sont retenus dans une ligne à l'extérieur de la colonne signalée, afin de permettre un réparation axée sur la ligne. A la fin de la phase test, un passage à la phase réparation est effectué par la sortie des indications et d'une représentation des défauts additionnels.

Abstract: An overrunning coupling assembly includes a notch plate and an annular coupling pocket plate positioned in face-to-face relationship with respect to each other along a common axis. The pocket plate has strut pockets disposed at angularly spaced positions about the common axis. The notch plate has notch recesses at angularly spaced positions about the common axis and positioned in juxtaposed relationship with respect to the strut pockets. Torque-transmitting struts are positioned in each of the strut pockets. Each strut has first and second ears at one edge thereof for enabling pivotal motion of the struts about an ear axis intersecting the ears. The opposite edge of each strut is movable between disengaged and engaged positions with respect to one of the notch recesses whereby one-way torque transfer may occur between the plates. A lubricant flows between the notch plate and pocket plate. A spring is positioned in each strut pocket and biases the respective strut toward the notch plate. Each spring engages the respective strut intermediate the ear axis and the opposite edge. Each strut pocket provides sufficient clearance forward of the respective opposite edge of the strut to allow forward sliding movement of the respective strut during overrunning to cause the engagement of the respective spring and strut to occur nearer the ear axis, thereby reducing the length of a moment arm about which the spring acts upon the strut which enables frictional forces of the flowing lubricant to hold the strut in its disengaged position to prevent the strut from slapping against the notch recesses as the notch plate and pocket plate are respectively counterrotated.
