Abstract: An electronic watch with mechanical display is more easily altered or corrected by sharing the display driving tests among a plurality of duel rotation sense motors. Such an arrangement enables practicable obtaining of a perpetual calendar in such a watch. A first stepping motor drives the seconds and minutes displays Figure 1, and the second stepping motor drives the hours and calendar display. Drive signals for the motors are derived by respective frequency dividers from a crystal controlled oscillator. When setting, a selector 8 is operated to select the unit to be corrected and in response to operation of a switch 9 or 10 the appropriate motor is driven forward or backward at a slow or fast rate. Memory circuits enable automatic adjustment for the number of days in the current month.

Abstract: A method for husking sesame seeds, characterized by the fact that the sesame seeds, previously freed from their impurities, are introduced into an attrition apparatus. By carrying out a simultaneous water and water steam injection in a proportion such that the seed water content is of about 15%, a swelling of the seeds occurs and at least 95% of the husk is removed. After sieving, the seeds thus almost husked are introducing in a drying assembly at the inlet of which they receive a complementary injection of water steam so that their water content be of the order of 14% to 18%. The drying operation is carried out for 1 hour to 2 hours at a temperature of 120 DEG  to 130 DEG  C., so that at the outlet of the drying apparatus the remaining husk is separated from the kernels and dessicated.

Abstract: A switching system for switching synchronous and/or synchronous data blocks between incoming and outgoing multiplexes. The asynchronous blocks are sporadically carried in the multiplexes. The cost of the system is reduced owing to the use of a single buffer memory whose cells memorize indifferently synchronous and asynchronous blocks. The number of cells is lower than the product of the number of incoming or outgoing multiplexes and the number of blocks per frame in the multiplexes. A buffer memory managing and write addressing circuit derives and memorizes the occupied or free condition of each of the buffer memory cells thereby permanently selecting the address of one of free buffer cells in which a data block is to be written. The occupied condition of a cell is signalled responsive to the write of an incoming data block into this cell, and the free condition of the cell is signalled responsive to the last read of the written block. A written block may be read several times when it should be transmitted onto several addressee outgoing multiplexes.

Abstract: The device consists of a range finder (2), whose function is to measure the distance between itself and each measuring point, and a system (9, 10) for orientating the range finder about two perpendicular rotation axes. Two geared stepping motors are used to produce the two rotating movements. A computer incorporates a microprocessor designed to acquire each value of the distance measured by the range finder, and controls the motion of the stepping motors by storing in memory the number of steps made during the rotation about each axis. From the distance between the range finder and each point and from the angles of rotation of the beam between the various measured points, the computer then calculates the distance between at least two points.

Abstract: A method for checking the correct execution of a multitasking computer program in which the tasks communicate by messages (i1,...in, o1, ok, om). Each task (T) issuing a message (ok) formulates an execution key (Cex(ok)) associated with this message and identifying a causal dependency relation for this message, defined by the chronological order of execution of the tasks and the chronological order for dealing with the messages by these tasks which led to the issuing of this message by this issuing task (T). Each execution key (Cex) is formulated by bit-by-bit addition ((+)) of binary words each containing the binary representation of an identifier of task (T), of message (ij) or of message time stamp ( theta (ij)). Before binary addition, the binary words have been cyclically permuted with different sizes (s(2j-1),s(2j),s(2n+1),s(2n+2)) for each of them. A program execution error is detected by comparing the execution key formulated last with a reference execution key.
