Patent EP-0611053-A2 (EP)
Inventor: HORNE STEPHEN C
IPC: H03K5/13
Filed: 1994-01-21
Abstract: A variable drive strength buffer circuit is provided that automatically adjusts its associated drive strength to compensate for variations in manufacturing parameters, environmental conditions and operating conditions. As a result, electromagnetic interference, power supply noise, edge rates and ringing may be reduced. The self-adjusting variable drive buffer circuit may be fabricated on an integrated circuit and includes a speed detector unit that measures the relative speed of the integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a self-adjusting variable drive strength buffer circuit includes a circuit speed detector unit having a delay chain consisting of a plurality of variable delay elements. When the delay chain length is matched to the period of an input clock, the length of the chain is an accurate measure of the relative "speed" of the transistors making up the delay chain and therefore of the other transistors on the integrated circuit chip. The length of the delay chain is encoded into a vector (one or more digital bits of information) that controls the amount of drive that is provided in the variable drive buffer circuit. More drive is provided if the transistors on the chip are relatively slow and less drive is provided if the transistors are relatively fast.

Abstract: Process for the vitrification of solid residues, a device for making use of this process and the product resulting from this process. According to this vitrification process the residues are heated to a temperature not much higher than their melting temperature and, once molten, the products are rapidly removed in order to keep them in the viscous state to trap substances capable of contaminating the environment. This process and this device find application in all fields in which it is desirable to maintain a temperature not much higher than the desired treatment temperature and in particular they find application for the treatment of solid residues produced by the incineration of household and/or industrial waste.

Abstract: After a row address (601) and a column address (602) are supplied to a dynamic RAM (2) in response to a row address strobe signal (22) and a column address strobe signal (23), respectively, a high impedance state is maintained for a column address access time period after the fall timing of the column address strobe signal (23), thereafter data is outputted to a data bus (26), and the high impedance state of the data bus is quickly resumed after the rise timing of the column address strobe signal (23). If different column addresses of RAM (2) at the same row address are successively read, data are read and outputted to the data bus (26) in response to a change only in the column address strobe signal, and thereafter, even after the high impedance state of the data bus is quickly resumed, a data value is held by the data bus until the dynamic RAM (2) outputs the data.

Abstract: A method for measuring the speed of sound in a tissue such as bone. First, the transducer covers of a pair of transducer units (10a,10b) are pressed together under a predetermined pressure, ultrasound is transmitted and received, and the time taken by the ultrasound to travel from one to the other of the transducers(12a,12b) is measured. Next, the tissue is held between the pair of transducer units (10a,10b) under the same predetermined pressure, ultrasound is transmitted and received, the time taken for the ultrasound to travel from one to the other of the transducers (12a,12b) is measured, and the distance between the two transducers is measured. The speed of sound in the tissue is then computed based on the propagation time of ultrasound when the transducer units (10a,10b) are directly pressed together, the propagation time of ultrasound and the distance between the transducers when the tissue is held between the pair of transducer units (10a,10b). By this method, an accurate value for the speed of sound in the tissue unaffected by changes in the properties of the acoustic matching material filling (16a,16b) the transducer covers (14a,14b), can be computed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the atmosphere in a gas filled closable space, comprising periodically monitoring the composition of the atmosphere in the space and with the aid of the space monitoring, supplying a determined amount of supply gas with a determined, established composition and discharging from the space a determined part of the gas present in the space. At least part of the gas discharged from the space is supplemented by admixing a supplemental gas, and the mixture thus formed is subjected to a cleaning processing in order to change the composition thereof, and is subsequently guided back to the space, in such a way that the total amount of supply gas supplied to the space per unit time substantially corresponds to the total amount of discharged gas withdrawn therefrom per unit time.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method which significantly improves the efficiency of reducing nitrogen oxide formation and emission during incineration of a waste gas in an air-staged thermal oxidizer. In accordance with the present invention, a natural gas stream (12) is mixed with combustion air (18) in a burner (16) and the mixture is ignited with the immediate introduction of liquid water (19). Thus, the resulting mixture is then injected into a first reducing zone (2) which is fuel rich in order to begin the combustion process, but retard the formation of nitrogen oxides. The waste gas (8) exiting the reducing zone is deficient in oxygen due to the fuel rich atmosphere in the first reducing zone and cooler due to the water cooling as it enters the second oxidizing zone. In the second oxidizing zone (4), additional oxygen in the form of air (20) is injected to complete the combustion process. Due to the fact that the waste gas is cooler in the oxidizing zone, the peak temperature resulting from completion of combustion reactions is lower and thermal nitrogen oxide formation is minimized in the second oxidizing zone. In another embodiment, the method of the present invention further includes the step of mixing chemical reagents (25,26) with the cooling water prior to injection into either the reducing zone, the oxidizing zone, or both, to chemically reduce nitrogen oxides present in gases emanating from the reducing zone and to reduce formation of nitrogen oxides in the oxidizing zone.
