Title: Self-test and correction of loss of charge errors in a flash memory, erasable and programmable by sectors thereof
Inventor: CAPPELLETTI PAOLO
IPC: G11C29/00
Filed: 1997-12-22
Abstract: A method of self-test and correction of errors due to a loss charge for a flash memory
constituted by an array or matrix of cells (bits), organized in rows and columns,
erasable and programmable by whole sectors in which the matrix is divided,
implemented by realizing at least an additional row and at least an additional column
of cells for each memory sector; storing parity codes is the additional row and column,
and carrying out periodically a self-test routine and eventual correction routine
composed of the following steps:
     repeating the sequential reading per bytes and parity check;   verifying the consistency of the parity value with the value stored in the
respective parity bit;   if the verification is negative, retaining the current row address and
proceeding to sequentially verify column parity starting from the first
column until identifying the column for which the verification yields a
negative result, and if the failed bit so individuated is "1" reprogramming it
to "0".

Abstract: An actuated air valve includes a valve body (12) in line with a flow passage (14) for admitting a flow of fluid. A valve member (16) is pivotally mounted about the centerline of the valve body and is pivoted between high flow and low flow positions. A diaphragm (26) and linkage (20, 22) is in mechanical connection to the valve member. A pressure tap from the flow of fluid provides an impulse to the diaphragm which displaces the linkage, thus varying the position of the valve member. A three-way solenoid valve (34) is used to selectively admit the impulse to the diaphragm, thus governing the displacement of the linkage, and thereby varying the position of the valve member.

Abstract: A leg assembly (22) for mounting passenger seats in transport vehicles especially configured to absorb energy, in the event of a survivable crash or other sudden deceleration. The seat legs deform in a controlled manner to prevent loads at its floor attachment points from exceeding the magnitude of allowable floor strength. The leg assembly includes a base member (30) whose forward and rear ends attach to the floor, and a V-leg (40) whose lower vertex pivots about an axis passing through the front of the base member in the event of a forward crash. The V-leg has a vertical member (40v) and a diagonal member (40d). A load-limiting strut (36) connects the rear end of the base member to an intermediate area on the diagonal member of the V-leg. A tension link (38) connects the intermediate area of the V-leg and to the upper end of the vertical member of the V-leg. Elongation of the load-limiting strut allows the seat and legs to pitch forward at a predetermined inertial loading which, if exceeded substantially, would rip the seat loose from the floor. The tension link elongates at a predetermined load to distribute the loads within the seat.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un afficheur gyricon c.-à-d. à particules de torsion non sphériques (sensiblement cylindriques) optiquement anisotropes disposées dans un substrat. Les particules, par exemple des cylindres bicolores, sont de préférence alignées parallèlement entre elles et assemblées très proches les unes des autres dans une couche unique. La disposition rotatoire de chaque particule peut être obtenue alors que la particule se trouve dans le substrat. En particulier le substrat peut être fait d'un élastomère expansé par application superficielle d'un fluide de manière à conférer aux particules une capacité de rotation dans le substrat. Lorsqu'elle est en position rotatoire, une particule n'est pas liée au substrat. La configuration d'assemblage proche des particules dans une couche unique leur confère d'excellentes caractéristiques de luminosité et une facilité relative de fabrication par rapport à d'autres afficheurs gyricon à forte luminosité. Le substrat contenant les cylindres peut être fabriqué à l'aide de techniques de gonflement d'élastomères utilisées pour les afficheurs gyricon à particules sphériques, avec une phase de processus de simple agitation pour aligner les cylindres dans le matériau plan. L'invention porte également sur des techniques de fabrication des cylindres.
