Abstract: A data security arrangement is provided to protect configuration data to be stored in static random access memories (38) in semiconductor programmable logic devices PLD. The configuration data, which is vulnerable to illegal duplication, is normally held in a read only memory ROM, typically an erasable programmable read only memory. 
     A data coding means is provided to code the configuration data to be loaded to the PLD and a data decoding means is provided in the PLD to decode the coded configuration data. The coding and decoding means each incorporate maximal length shift registers (12, 25) which generate a pseudo-random sequence of bits. A key value is input to the shift register (12) in the coding means forcing it to start at a particular point in the sequence. The output (bits B28 and B31) of this register is combined in an EXCLUSIVE-OR gate (20) with configuration data and coded data is written to the read only memory ROM (24). The decoding means in the PLD has a corresponding key value held in a non-volatile memory (28) in the PLD. This is applied to the register (25) of the decoding means whose output (bits B28 and B31) are combined in an EXCLUSIVE-OR GATE (34) with coded configuration data CDIC read from the ROM (24) to produce decoded configuration data CDOD to be sotred in the memories (38).

Abstract: A color image processing apparatus where in the event of reproducing an image which has undergone an adaptive character-area processing with toner of four colors, the optimum filtering and halftone processing are performed depending upon the colors of the toner so that a high-grade color image which contains solid black characters having no blur can be obtained. For color image data of various colors including yellow, magenta, cyan and black for toner development, a coefficient of a filtering circuit (6) and a characteristic of a halftone processing circuit (8) are changed so as to practice a filtering, e.g. an emphasizing filtering and a first halftone processing for a character mode to the color image data of black, or practice a filtering, e.g. a smothing filtering and a second halftone processing for a photograph mode to the color image data other than black. In this way, even if a color photograph image contains images of black solid characters, the color photograph image can be reproduced into multi-leveled gradation, and moreover, the black solid character images contained therein can be reproduced having no blur with color with high resolution.

Abstract: Recordable areas are recorded such that, if a recordable area (T4(1)-T4(4), T5(1)-T5(2)) exists on the outermost position of the disc (1), it is headed, and the other recordable areas (T4(1)-T4(4), T5(1)-T5(2)) are linked from the inner peripheral side in order of address, to be thus managed. With this method, the audio-recording is executed such that the segment division is minimized and the distance between segments is minimized. This makes it possible to shorten the segment access time and eliminate the access in reproducing, and hence to prevent the sound-interruption and the lowering of shock-proof in reproducing action.

Abstract: In a spin-echo magnetic resonance sequence a phase encoding gradient magnetic field (39) is applied after the 180° rephasing pulse (32₁). After detection of the spin-echo signal (33) the position dependent phases are compensated for by applying a further gradient magnetic field (39'), identical in size but opposite in sign. The phase difference (φ 32,1 -φ 31,1 ) between the RF-pulses (31₁,32₁) applied within a sequence is constant over the sequences. With no position dependent effects left at the end of a sequence the next sequence can be stated immediately following the earlier one. A repetition time TR substantially shorter than the spin-spin relaxation time T₂ is feasible, thereby developing a steady state of the magnetisation. A TR of 50 ms or less can be obtained, as well as strong signals for long T₂ substances and good T₂ contrast. RF spoiling by changing phases of RF-pulses in subsequent sequences can destroy the T₂ signal and provide images with pure T₁ contrast.

Abstract: A bonded, SOI wafer which has stepped isolation trenches and sublayer interconnections first formed in a bulk silicon wafer. After these process steps are complete, a thin polysilicon layer (26) is formed on the planarized upper surface of the bulk silicon wafer (10). This thin polysilicon layer is then bound to an oxide layer (36) on the surface of a separate wafer (34) to form a bonded silicon-on-oxide structure. The entire assembly is, in effect inverted, and what had been the lower surface of the bulk silicon wafer, is removed to the bottom of the deepest trench step. In this bonded SOI structure, regions (38, 40) between the trenches (25) are deep and suitable for bipolar device fabrication, while the trench steps themselves form shallow regions suitable for fabrication of CMOS devices.

Abstract: In a demodulator, a delay detection means (1,2,3,) receives a π/4-shift QPSK signal and performs delay detection of a signal at an interval of symbols. An averaging circuit (4) respectively averages two channel quadrature signal components of a signal. A preamble detection means (5,6) detects a preamble having a specific pattern in which a phase shift of π/4 of the phase of a received symbol from the immediately preceding symbol and a phase shift of -3π/4 of a phase of a next symbol from the immediately preceding symbol are alternately repeated. A phase angle calculating means (7) calculates the phase angle of an output signal from the averaging circuit. A frequency offset estimating circuit (9) calculates a carrier frequency offset. A voltage-controlled oscillator has an output oscillation frequency variably controlled by an output signal from the frequency offset estimating circuit. A frequency converter (11) performs frequency conversion of the output oscillation frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator and the input π/4-shift QPSK signal. A reproduction circuit (12) reproduces a carrier and a clock and obtains demodulated data by coherent detection.

Abstract: A digital system includes a number of digital subsystems interconnected by a shared bus structure that is mutually exclusively accessible for communicating data between the subsystems. The system is structured to be tested by pseudo-random scan test methodology. Each subsystem includes a counter that, during scan test periods, provides an enable signal to the bus access or driver circuitry of the associated subsystem. A scan test operation is preceded by pre-loading each counter with a predetermined state so that, initially, and throughout the test period, one and only one digital subsystem will drive the shared data bus. Each scan sequence (comprising a scan in, an execution cycle, and a scan out of the pseudo-random test strings) will result in the counters being clocked once so that a new subsystem will be enable to drive the bus the next sequence, permitting the bus access circuitry of each subsystem, and the bus itself, to be tested.

Abstract: A lock-up clutch (4) by way of which input/output shafts (1a, 2a) of a torque converter (2) are operatively connected to each other is connected to an electronic type pressure control valve (4). During speed changing in a transmission, a problem of interruption of transmission of torque can be solved by turning off the lock-up clutch (4) at the time point when filling of one of speed changing clutches (21 to 24) to be next brought in an operatively engaged state with hydraulic oil is completed. Hydraulic pressure (P t ) in the torque converter (2) is exerted on the back pressure portion of a piston of the lock-up clutch (4), while hydraulic pressure (P t ) in the torque converter (2) is exerted on the proportional solenoid (42) side of the pressure control valve (40). This makes it possible to reduce the initial hydraulic pressure. During speed changing, the lock-up clutch (4) is not fully released from the engaged state but it maintains its operative state at low pressure, causing shock caused by shifting the lock-up state to be reduced. When hydraulic pressure is gradually increased, an extent of opening of the throttle, weight of the vehicle and the current gear ratio are derived so as to vary a rate of the gradual increase of hydraulic pressure depending on values of these parameters. When the vehicle runs at a normal cruising speed, control is carried out such that hydraulic pressure in the lock-up clutch assumes a value peripheral to output torque from the engine. This enables a running region of the lock-up clutch held in an operatively engaged state to be enlarged substantially.

Abstract: A method of identifying untestable faults in a logic circuit. A lead in the circuit is selected and the circuit is analyzed to determine which faults would be untestable if the selected circuit lead were unable to assume a logic 0 and which faults would be untestable if the selected circuit lead were unable to assume a logic 1. Faults that would be untestable in both (hypothetical) cases are identified as untestable faults. Faults which would be untestable if the selected lead were unable to assume a given value may be determined based on an implication procedure. Untestable faults may be identified in a sequential circuit by generating an equivalent combinational iterative array circuit model for a fixed number of time frames. Faults that would be untestable in both (hypothetical) cases  and  which are located in the last ( i.e. , latest-in-time) time frame are identified as untestable faults.
