Abstract: A data protection apparatus has chip select logic, a protection circuit and one or more memory devices. The chip select logic is designed so that when protected memory is addressed, more than one selection signal is generated.      In this way, a protected memory area may encompass all, or a portion, of one or more memory devices. The additional selection signal is processed by a protection circuit which will interrupt the processor if protected memory is addressed during a write cycle in the absence of a request signal which the processor is programmed to generate just prior to its writing to a protected memory area.

Granted: 1999-06-15
Abstract: Apparatus and methods for rapid, efficient production of durable lithographic printing plates by a thermal-transfer process that does not involve ablation.  In response to an imaging pulse, a transfer material reduces in viscosity to a flowable state.  The material exhibits a higher melt adhesion for a plate substrate than for the carrier sheet to which it is initially bound, so that in a flowable state it transfers completely to the substrate.  Following transfer, the carrier sheet, along with untransferred material, is removed from the substrate.
