Abstract: In a method for determining the logic state of memory cells in a passive matrix-addressable data storage device with word and bit lines, components of current response are detected and correlated with a probing voltage, and a time-dependent potential is applied on selected word and bit lines or groups thereof, said potentials being mutually coordinated in magnitude and time such that the resulting voltages across all or some of the non-addressed cells at the crossing points between inactive word lines and active bit lines are brought to contain only negligible voltage components that are temporally correlated with the probing voltage. A first apparatus according to the invention for performing the method provides sequential readout of all memory cells on an active word line (AWL) by means of detection circuits ( 3; 4 ). An active word line (AWL) is selected by a multiplexer ( 7 ), while inactive word lines (IWL) are clamped to ground during readout. A second apparatus for performing the method is rather similar, but has only a single detection circuit ( 3, 4 ). An active word line (AWL) is selected by multiplexer ( 7 ) and a bit line (ABL) is selected by a multiplexer ( 9 ) provided between one end of the bit lines (BL) and the input of the detection circuit ( 3, 4 ), while inactive word and bit lines (IWL; IBL) are clamped to ground during readout.

memory-loaded device receives the service permission ticket
(SPT) from the access unit, and performs processing
according to the access mode indicated in the service
permission ticket (SPT). The service permission tickets
(SPTs) in which access modes to be accepted for the access
units are set are individually issued according to the

As a result, the moment T of the space and the position i, j in said space can be defined, at which the Aijt, Bijt, etc. signals are received at a given moment.  According to the invention, a) a region is located in the space that is of interest according to a statistical criterion which is applied to a time parameter; b)  the main region thus located is inhibited; c) steps a) and b) are repeated so as to locate other regions of interest inside a non-inhibited region in the space; d) the process is stopped when one remaining non-inhibited region in the space produces no more regions of interest corresponding to said statistical criterion; e) by means of a consecutive valid frame, a counter is incremented for each region of interest thus located and when a region of interest is lost, its associated counter is reset to zero; f) for each region of interest thus located, the centroid of the scatter plot thereof is retrieved.

Abstract: A process for removing contaminants from a reformer comprises removal of particulate matter under operating, or stand-by conditions, or at the start of a shutdown procedure, by introducing a gas mixture to the reformer system (10) having an oxidant-to-fuel ratio concentration leaner than a normal oxidant-to-fuel ratio concentration and at a gas flow rate less than a peak flow rate. The process produces elevated temperatures at the reformer inlet (14) and elevated levels of carbon dioxide and water that combine to remove the contaminants. Another embodiment includes removal of particulate matter during a shutdown procedure by cycling the flow of fuel and air on and off; monitoring an exit temperature of a catalyst substrate (12) and alternatively, cycling the oxidant flow on and off when the exit temperature is less than or greater than a threshold temperature such that the exit temperature of the catalyst substrate (12) is maintained below the temperature at which aging of the catalyst and/or a washcoat material may occur. These methods may be used individually or in combination to improved the durability and performance of the fuel reformer

Abstract: A high performance liquid chromatography method to routinely and reproducibly detect and quantitate metal complexes. The method comprises loading a solution containing metal complexes onto a column, eluting the metal complex from the column with a mobile phase, the mobile phase comprising an excess of a salt of a coordinating anion in a solvent system, and detecting the metal complex with a detector. Eluting the complex from the column with the mobile phase generates a metal complex in which the coordinating anion (which is a competent ligand) out-competes all other potential ligands present for the available coordination sites on the metal. The metal complexes used in the method of the invention can be different metal complexes, or they can be stereoisomers of the same metal complexes. The high performance liquid chromatography method of the present invention is suitable for the separation of diastereomers of the same metal complexes. Also provided is a chiral high performance liquid chromatography method to separate enantiomers of metal complexes. In this chiral high performance liquid chromatography method a chiral column is employed to achieve the separation of the enantiomers of metal complexes.
