Abstract: The invention relates to an integrated circuit, containing an A/D converter and a test circuit, the latter in a test mode enabling explicit testing of analog and digital control signals of the circuit by supplying these control signals to circuit sections of the A/D converter and thus generating digital data signals at the output of the A/D converter. Analog signals, like bias signals and reference signals, can be selected and supplied to the input facility of the converter. Subsequently, a digital representation of the selected signal is obtained at the output facility of the converter. Digital signals, like clock signals, can be selected and supplied directly to the output facility. The output facility is operated by a clock signal and constructs a clocked version of the selected digital signal, which is subsequently available at the output. Thus, selected signals, either digital or analog, are available at the output of the converter and can be compared to specified data.

Abstract: The flanging operation is a folding operation of the
contour flanging (20) of an exterior sheet or panel (21),
on the edge of another inside one (22) by plastic
mechanical deformation to connect both sheets. This
folding is carried out in two successive operations: a
pre-flanging step that folds said flange (20) to a
intermediate position, and another final flanging position
in which said flange (20) is closed totally over the edge
of the interior one (22). 
     The rising and lowering of the flanging group (2) is
obtained by electric operation that causes the rotation of
a spindle (7) in which the ball nut (4) is mounted. The
spindle (7) includes an elastic package (10) that absorbs
the force exerted by the flanging unit (2). The winding of
the electric motor (1) ceases operating upon reaching a
certain current level depending on the force to be exerted. 
     The final flanging blades (14) are located in the top
part of the flanging group and are attached to the same
blade holder (13) as the pre-flanging blades (15).

IPC: G01R31/317
Filed: 1998-03-12
Abstract: The method for modifying a representation of a digital circuit (102) in order to allow a scan test comprises a step (106) for selecting a number of the memory elements of the circuit to be made scannable. In this step it is determined whether the circuit comprises a redundant structure. In case of a sequentially redundant structure (200), a memory element (214, 216, 218, 220) of this structure is selected to be made scannable thus providing a pseudo input to the structure and removing the redundancy during scan test. In case of a combinational redundant structure (406), a memory element (404) connecting this structure to another part of the circuit is selected to be made scannable, thus avoiding the propagation of the redundancy of the structure.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système de gestion de télécommunications sans fil, telles que la transmission de voix et de données dans des systèmes de télécommunications sans fil à accès multiple par code de répartition (AMCR). Dans un mode de réalisation de l'invention cité en exemple, une station de base (12) transmet des informations vocales à une puissance d'émission vocale, et des données à une puissance d'émission de données qui est égale à la puissance maximale d'émission moins la puissance d'émission vocale. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention, chaque station de base (12) signale sa puissance d'émission vocale à un organe de commande (14) de stations de base dans des intervalles de 20 ms. L'organe de commande (14) de stations de base réagit en calculant une capacité disponible d'émission de données, et en envoyant des données à chaque station de base (12) égales à la capacité disponible d'émission de données. Chaque station de base (12) transmet ensuite toutes les données de voix à la puissance d'émission vocale en cours, et des données à la puissance d'émission de données en cours. Si la quantité de données reçues est supérieure à la capacité fournie par la puissance d'émission de données en cours, certaines données ne sont pas transmises. La station de base (12) indique ensuite, s'il y a lieu, à l'organe de commande (14) de stations de base que des données n'ont pas été transmises, et l'organe de commande de stations de base essaie de retransmettre ultérieurement les données.
