Title: Spherical ionomer particles and production thereof
Inventor: WOLTER HERBERT
IPC: A61K6/083
Filed: 1999-07-22
Granted: 2003-01-09
Abstract: The invention relates to spherical or approximately spherical ionomer particles, comprising an inner area and an outer area which contains silicon ions. The cations of said outer area comprise a) at least one element which can occupy lattice sites of the silicon in silicate compounds, producing a negative excess of charge and b) at least one element which is selected from the elements of the first and second main groups and those that can appear in a divalent form and which can compensate for the negative excess of charge. Suitable methods for producing the inventive particles are all those methods for producing spherical or approximately spherical particles from a suspension dispersion, emulsion or similar and separating them from the surrounding solvent. Aerosol methods and especially, spray drying of suitable solutions, gels, sols or dispersions/suspensions can also be used. The inventive ionomer particles are especially suitable for use with acid-containing matrices as cements which can be used advantageously in dentistry for example.

Title: Self-checking error-correcting encoder/decoder
Inventor: STIFFLER JACK J
IPC: H03M13/00
Filed: 1986-09-30
Granted: 1989-12-14
Abstract: Encoding/decoding circuitry which processes data and both corrects single errors and detects multiple errors is disclosed. The circuitry is both fail-safe and self-checking in that no internal device failure can alter data without producing improperly encoded outputs and all failures quickly reveal themselves through normal usage even if they do not actually cause any data to be modified. The circuitry can be configured in two identical halves with each half operating on one half of the data so that the circuitry can be advantageously constructed with large scale integrated circuits. Error-detecting information in the form of a syndrome produced by each circuit half is combined with similar syndrome information produced by the other circuit half. The combined syndrome information is then decoded to generate error correction information which is used to modify the data bit outputs to correct detected errors. A failure in either circuit half modifies the combined syndrome information in such a way that the modification can either be detected or else causes no erroneous data bit modification.
