Patent EP-0728996-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MELOLING STEVEN E
IPC: F25B11/02
Filed: 1996-01-25
Abstract: A single-fluid two-phase turbine expander (19) is employed in a compression-expansion refrigeration system. The turbine (19) has nozzles of fixed, predetermined orifice and is designed for optimal operation in steady-state normal conditions. A main float valve (17) governs the refrigerant flow to the turbine expander (19). In order to accommodate off-design conditions, a bypass conduit (23) carries liquid refrigerant around the turbine expander (19) directly to the evaporator (21). In this case a bypass float valve (24) opens the bypass conduit (23) when the liquid level in the condenser sump reaches a predetermined high level. Alternatively, a float switch and a bypass solenoid can be employed.

Abstract: In order that an operating lever (14) for a hoist and traction
apparatus is
combined as a unit to ensure the smooth operations so as to provide an
improved workability with achieving a downsizing, a driving member (55)
of the hoist

Abstract: To perform transmission error correction simply by generating an extremely small number of error correction code bits even when the value of N in STM-N becomes large. 
     The sending signal input terminal 21 receives 4 AU-4 signals, and the serial/parallel conversion circuit 22 converts the signals to 8 parallel signals. The number of check bits required for encoding 8 parallel bits is 14. The error correction encoder 231, provided for the first bit, divides a received data stream by a polynomial and sends the resulting remainder to the check bit output terminal 1 as the check bit. The error correction encoders 232 - 238 each calculate the check bits of data streams using the polynomial and send the results to check bit output terminals 2 - 8. The {n, k} shortened Hamming code is executed for each bit by inserting these check bits into undefined bytes in the MSOH.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of design for testability
at RTL which can guarantee high fault coverage and a method of
test sequence generation for easily generating test sequences
for an RTL circuit which is designed to be easily testable by
the method of design for testability. In the RTL circuit,
scannable registers are selected so that the RTL circuit can
attain an easily testable circuit structure such as an acyclic
structure. This RTL circuit is timeframe expanded on the basis
of a predetermined evaluation function and logically
synthesized, so as to generate a timeframe expanded
combinational circuit, that is, a gate level timeframe expanded
circuit, as a circuit for test sequence generation. For the
timeframe expanded combinational circuit, test patterns for
multiple stuck-at faults are generated, the test patterns are
transformed into test sequences on the basis of data on
timeframes including primary inputs and pseudo-primary inputs,
and the test sequences are transformed into scanning test
sequences in view of a scan shift operation.
