Abstract: Steering and bit lines (of a flash EEPROM system, for example) are segmented along columns of a memory cell array. In one embodiment, the steering and bit lines of one of their segments are connected at a time to respective global steering and bit lines. The number of rows of memory cells included in individual steering gate segments is a multiple of the number of rows included in individual bit line segments in order to have fewer steering gate segments. This saves considerable circuit area by reducing the number of segment selecting transistors necessary for the steering gates, since these transistors must be larger than those used to select bit line segments in order to handle higher voltages. In another embodiment, local steering gate line segments are combined in order to reduce their number, and the reduced number of each segment is then connected directly with an address decoder, without the necessity of a multiplicity of large switching transistors outside of the decoder to select the segment.

Abstract: An implant assembly is provided for surgical implantation into an intervertebral space, such as for stabilization of vertebrae adjacent the intervertebral space during a spinal fusion procedure. The implant assembly includes a primary segment separate from a secondary segment. These segments are elongate and of sufficiently small cross-section that they can be implanted posteriorly in a minimally invasive manner. The primary segment preferably includes a tunnel and the secondary segment preferably includes a neck with the tunnel and neck sized complementally so that the segments stabilize each other where they intersect with the neck within the tunnel. The entire implant assembly is thus provided which both widens and supports the intervertebral space and is sufficiently rigid to provide adequate support for the intervertebral space as the vertebrae are fusing together.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for ensuring data transmission security between a first (2) and a second communication device (3) in short-range wireless communication. To set up a secure data transmission connection, the communication devices (2, 3) conduct a key exchange stage to generate at least one shared key (K) between the communication devices. After said key exchange stage at least a first (c1) and a second check string (c2) is formed, said strings being based at least on a unique short random string and on the keys (K1, K2) generated in each communication device at said key exchange stage. Thus, the security of the connection that is set up is ensured by comparing the correspondence of said check strings (c1, c2). The invention also relates to a communication system and a communication device, in which the method will be applied.

Abstract: An input signal (IN) is filtered (605) to remove aliases and a switched capacitor network (610) undersamples this signal to provide a downconverted, near-baseband signal. An amplifier (615) adjusts the amplitude of this signal to match a digitizer (620). The digitized output is converted into first phase and second phase signals which are then filtered (640) and decimated (645) to further reduce the sampling rate. The downconverted first and second phase signals, rather than higher frequency signals, control the gain function (AGC) for the amplifier (615). The switched capacitor network (610) provides for both tuning and downconversion of the desired signal to a lower frequency for further processing, thus reducing the frequency and power requirements of an associated amplifier and analog-to-digital converter (digitizer).

Abstract: The invention uses light to determine the distance from the tip of a probe to the internal wall of the canal, and based on the position of the probe, this information is used to generate information about the shape of the canal. Light with a first and a second wavelength range is directed onto a semi-transparent mirror surface at the distal portion of the probe. Light in the first wavelength range is reflected from the mirror surface to illuminate a circumferential area of the internal surface of the canal, and light in the second wavelength range is transmitted through the mirror surface to illuminate an area in front of the distal portion of the probe. The received light is analyzed in the first wavelength range to determine the distance from the probe to the internal surface of the canal at points of the circumference, and analyzed in the second wavelength range to determine the distance from the probe to an object in front of the probe. Thereby it is ensured, that the bottom surface of the canal is not touched or injured while the internal surface of the canal is measured.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for treating a fibre mass, such as for example a nonwoven or a woven. Such fibre masses are conveyed through a pressing mill for treatment where they are pressed in at least one pressing zone by means of a press-roll. By the pressing, a treatment fluid already present in the fibre mass is pressed out of the fibre mass. After the pressing out of the treatment fluid, a second treatment fluid is introduced into the fibre mass. In order to achieve a distribution of the second treatment fluid in the pressed fibre mass as quickly and homogenously as possible, according to the invention it is provided that the treatment fluid is introduced through the pressing surface area into the fibre mass in an expansion region, where the pressing power exerted by the press-roll is reduced in the moving direction of the fibre mass. Here, the pressing surface area is the surface through which the pressing power acts on the fibre mass.

Abstract: Sleep or vigilance analysis is performed by use of a trained artificial neural network on electro-oculogram signals. Either a left side or right side EOG signal may be used, referenced to the nearby mastoid site, the nape of the neck or another quiet site. The use of the EOG signal allows REM sleep to be distinguished from light sleep. The use of only one channel of data means that only a small number of electrodes need to be used and thus the device can be provided as a self-contained compact portable unit. The device may also provide a sleep stage type sensitive alarm clock.

Abstract: An alertness monitoring system uses reflectance measurement of infrared light pulses to monitor eye movement of a vehicle or machine operator. The data is used to measure eye and eyelid movement for presence slow or drifting eye movements, and/or eyelid closure and optionally one or more of, absence of saccadic movement, loss of eye co-ordination, wavering eyelids, partial eye closure, and drooping eyelids as indicators of loss of attention and drowsiness. The eye movements of a subject are analyzed using reflected infra red light to obtain measures of the blink amplitude velocity ratio and the saccade amplitude velocity ratio. The readings are continuously compared with eye movement data indicative of degrees of alertness so that the monitor provides an indication of the operator's fitness to operate the vehicle or machine from the point of view of drowsiness no matter how it is caused.
