Abstract: A process is proposed according to the invention for monitoring cyclic voltage signals, especially AC signals, and electrical variables dependent on them, in the case of which process at least one voltage signal (MS) is detected and compared with a required signal (SS) in that a difference signal (DS) is formed, in the case of which process the voltage signal (MS) is compared with the required signal (SS) cycle by cycle, the required signal (SS) being an ideal, cyclic signal corresponding to the voltage signal (MS). The difference signal (DS) is evaluated for each signal cycle. In this case, a classification is carried out which assigns deviations of the voltage signal (MS) from the required signal (SS) to defined disturbance classes. A device is also proposed for carrying out the process, which device comprises the features which are known per se, such as a power supply element, a control and display element, at least one voltage channel as the input for the voltage signal (MS) to be monitored, an analog/digital converter for the voltage signal (MS), storage devices (memory devices) and at least one processing unit. According to the invention, the processing unit contains at least one microprocessor, preferably a programmable signal processor, for evaluating the difference signal (DS) and especially for classifying the deviations of the voltage signal (MS) from the required signal (SS).

Abstract: A memory (20) has a plurality of columns of memory cells and has a plurality of redundant columns of memory cells. A comparator (45) detects an access to a defective column. A redundant write generator (31) and write fuses (32) are provided for each write portion (30A, 30B, 30C, and 30D) to replace the defective column with a redundant column by replacing a write global data line (37) with a redundant write global data line (39). Redundant read generators (60 and 61) and read fuses (59) are provided for each read portion (50A, 50B, 50C, and 50D) to replace a defective column by deselecting a read global data line (29) and replacing it with a redundant read global data line (44). The fuses and redundant generators are located close to their global data lines, thus reducing the routing of control signals and improving the access time of redundant columns.

Abstract: A status indicator (100) for monitoring a fuse or a circuit breaker (103) includes optically isolated triggering and alarm circuits which can be integrated into a fuse holder or circuit breaker housing. More particularly, a status indicator has an LED (105) connected in series with a fuse or circuit breaker (103) across a power source (101), and a phototransistor arrangement (109), connected across the power source, in series with an alarm circuit (111). The arrangement is configured so that as long as current flows through the fuse or circuit breaker, the LED (105) produces light which causes the phototransistor (109) to be maintained in a non-conducting state, and the status indicator to remain in a non-alarm state. Upon failure of the fuse or circuit breaker, current flow to the LED (105) is interrupted, resulting in the phototransistor (109) being biased into a conductive state, and the alarm circuit being activated (111). A normally closed switch (104) is employed to interrupt the current flow to the LED (105), thereby simulating fuse or circuit breaker failure, and providing a convenient means for the on-line testing the status indicator. Multiple LEDs, each associated with a separate monitored fuse or circuit breaker, can be connected to a single normally closed switch, thereby facilitating the simultaneous testing of numerous status indicators through the actuation of a single switch.

Abstract: A method of recognizing speech input selectively creates and maintains grammar representations of the speech input in essentially real time. Speech input frames are received by a speech recognition system. Grammar representations are created for each speech frame and a probability score is derived for the representations indicating the probability of the accuracy of the representations to the speech input. Representations having a probability score below a predetermined threshold are not maintained. Those grammar representations having probability scores above the predetermined threshold are maintained. As more speech frames are received by the system, additional grammar representations are created and the probability scores are updated. When the entire speech input has been received, the chain of grammar representations having the highest probability score is identified as the speech input.

Abstract: A pacemaker (1) for automatically confirming the presence of, and terminating, pacemaker mediated tachycardia (PMT). A number of V-pace to A-sense intervals are measured. If the measured intervals are consistent, it is possible that there is retrograde conduction giving rise to PMT. To confirm that the A-senses were not due to noise, atrial premature beats, etc., several ventricular pacing pulses are generated in a manner that eliminates the possibility of atrial beats being due to retrograde conduction; a series of simultaneous atrial and ventricular pacing pulses are generated. If A-senses consistent with the previously measured intervals are not sensed, retrograde conduction is confirmed. The PMT should have been terminated by the simultaneous atrial and ventricular pacing, but in any event the PVARP may be lengthened to exceed the longest measured V-pace to A-sense interval.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for reproducing data by optically reading out recorded signals from a recording medium. An encoded data decoding unit 4 separates header data from data read out from an optical disc 1. The header data information is sent to a controller 6. The controller calculates the value of the readout data quantity which permits data reproduction, decides the readout patterns of the encoded data and controls data transfer from an encoded data decoding unit 4 to a decoder 5. For special reproduction of variable length encoded data, an optimum readout pattern may be partially selected from the encoded data without causing disorder in the data supply to the decoder.

Abstract: A board fuse (10) includes an insulating board (20) having a through-hole window (22) in the middle of the insulating board and fusible elements (30) laid over the insulating board. Further, the fusible elements (30) are continuous metal wires substantially equal in cross section. The fusible elements (30) are uniform and accurate in cross section and accurate in current capacity. The fusible elements (30) extend across the window (22) in such a manner that, at the window, they are not in contact with the insulating board (20). Hence, when heat is generated in any one of the fusible elements (30) by electric current, the heat generated at the window (22) is not absorbed by the insulating board (20) and is increased as required, thus blowing the fusible element accurately. Accordingly, the board fuse (10) is free from the difficulties caused by the heat generation, that is, the production of a bad smell, at worst the production of white smoke.
