Abstract: An adjustable current mode differential sense amplifier (70) is disposed to be
in communication with a selected memory cell R M  and a reference cell R R  having a
predetermined value. The amplifier (70) is able to sense current and voltage changes
associated with the selected memory cell R M  and compare them to current and voltage
changes associated with the reference cell R R . The operating point of the sensing
amplifier (70) may be changed by modifying threshold voltages related to the back
gate (74) bias applied to selected transistors (72, 73) in the amplifier. This adjusting
capability enables currents or voltages of the sense amplifier (70, 80) to be set when a
first bias voltage V 1  is applied to a selected memory cell R M  in order to maximize the
sensitivity of the amplifier (70). When a second bias voltage V 2  is applied to the
memory cell R M  and the reference cell R R  in order to determine the value of the
memory cell R M , the amplifier (70) is able to sense slight changes in the currents or
voltages associated with the selected memory cell R M  and the reference cell R R  and
compare them to determine the state of the memory cell R M . This increased sensitivity
enables the amplifier (70) to have a substantially increased dynamic range without
introducing components that might adversely affect the memory circuitry parameters.

Abstract: A system and method for transferring data from a first device to a second device over a bus
is described. The first and second devices may be, for example, a host computer and a
peripheral device and the data may include audio and video data. The method is performed
by the second device for each data interval and the length of each data interval may be
defined by a periodic reference signal processed by the second device. A synchronization
packet is sent over the bus to the first device using, for example, the IEEE-1394 protocol, in
response to the periodic reference signal. After receipt of the synchronization packet by the
first device, a plurality of packets are received over the bus from the first device, the packets
including data for the data interval. The steps of sending the synchronization packet and
receiving the data packets are then repeated for each data interval defined by the periodic
reference signal.

Abstract: The present invention belongs to the class of electronic ballasts for ignition, stability
and regulation of regimes for high pressure gas discharge lamps which supply to
the lamp the current with the frequency different from the one of the first source of
power supply. The device is commanded remotely by means of power line
signalling. 
     The invention permits to realize two regimes of the lamp power supply: a) with high
frequency alternate current (units - tens of kHz); b) with continuous current with
cyclic commutation of polarity. In both cases a continuous or step dimming is
provided, through the device working regime variation. 
     One of original characteristics of the proposed invention is a possibility of an
essential reduction of component number and reliability increase by means of
exclusion of the power factor corrector and some other modules through their
substitution with an original circuit of filtering and power factor correction with the
phase number multiplication and the use of 3-phase rectifier bridge. 
     The present invention permits not only the control (local or remote) of illumination
regimes of the lamp but also provides diagnostic function working in dialog regime
with an external control unit, by means of modulated signals transmitted in the
power-line network.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un pansement cutané en particulier un pansement pour plaies. Ce pansement comprend une enzyme de type oxydoréductase et éventuellement une enzyme de type peroxydase qui se trouvent à l'état hydraté, par exemple en étant contenues dans un ou plusieurs hydrogels hydratés. Ce pansement est utilisé en étant positionné sur la peau d'un être humain ou d'un animal, par exemple sur une plaie. L'oxydoréductase catalyse une réaction qui produit du peroxyde d'hydrogène à partir d'un substrat approprié qui est présent naturellement dans les liquides organiques et/ou est fourni séparément et/ou est incorporé dans le pansement. L'oxydoréductase couramment préférée est l'oxydase de glucose. Cette dernière catalyse la réaction d'un substrat de beta -D-glucose pour donner du peroxyde d'hydrogène et de l'acide gluconique. Il est possible d'utiliser un mélange d'oxydoréductases. Le peroxyde d'hydrogène qui résulte de la réaction catalysée par l'oxydoréductase peut subir une réaction (éventuellement catalysée par une peroxydase) pour produire une variété d'espèces comprenant des intermédiaires d'oxygène réactif qui présentent des propriétés antimicrobiennes et peuvent par conséquent participer au processus d'aide à la guérison de plaies.
