Abstract: A modular electronic safe arm device (MESAD) (10) for arming and igniting an explosive is universal in application and employs a standard circuit architecture which uses application specific logic modules (12) and (14), a standard voltage control module (16), and standard high energy firing modules (18) and (20). In the preferred embodiment, the logic modules (12) and (14) are state machines using clocked sequential logic and having read-only-memories. The logic modules (12) and (14) generate dynamic arming signals at outputs (54) and (76) which cause the voltage control module (16) in conjunction with transformer (102), to convert a low voltage input (98) to a high voltage output (100). The high voltage output (100) is used to charge firing capacitors (112) and (138) in standard high energy firing modules (18) and (20). Logic module (14) generates two trigger signals at outputs (76) and (78) for activating the trigger modules (126) and (148). Charging and triggering of the high energy firing modules (18) and (20) causes explosive foil initiators (108) and (134) to ignite the explosive. Application specific interface units (40) and (86) allow the MESAD (10) to be used in many different applications.

Abstract: In an all-optical data network, a plurality of subscriber stations are to be able to communicate with one another bidirectionally via the same optical waveguide and only one type of electro-optical circuit arrangement is to be used. The optical amplifiers (OVn, OVn+1, ...) incorporated in the optical waveguide network are equipped with additional input and output circuits for electric signals and are set up for the operating modes "Optical amplification/simultaneous reception signal conversion/transmission signal conversion". They are located at the subscriber terminal stations and replace the optical couplers and different opto-electronic components found in conventional networks. In the lasers in the optical amplifiers (OVn, OVn+1, ...), the optical strip line conductor also operates bidirectionally. The optical waveguide network does not therefore need to be designed as a closed ring and can be extended as required. Use as a local area network, processor bus system etc. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 2.1 In previous copying devices, sheet deflection takes place merely passively by means of guide elements which form a guide channel and must not be too greatly curved for this purpose. In particular for compact copying apparatuses, a greatly curved sheet deflection is desirable for a space-saving construction. …<??>2.2 In order to guarantee deflection with a relatively great curvature in a reliable manner and regardless of the type of sheet, the deflection device in the new copying apparatus is constructed as a guide element (7, 10) which partially surrounds a drawing-off roller (2) and rests with a predetermined contact force on the circumference (25) of the drawing-off roller (2), leaving an insertion gap. The resulting, active pressing-on force for the sheet to be drawn in onto the drawing-off roller allows reliable transport of the paper with simultaneous deflection with a small radius of curvature. …<??>2.3 Compact copying apparatuses with drawing-in of paper and delivery of copy provided on the same side. …<IMAGE>…

Abstract: A dynamic random access memory device (DRAM) stores data bits in a plurality of memory cell arrays (22-25) associated with a plurality of word line groups (WL11-WL4k) coupled with a plurality of row address decoding units (26-29). The device is periodically subjected to a refresh cycle. A refresh address counter (36) increments the refresh address indicated by a refresh address signal (A0-Am) for sequentially designating all the word lines of the word lines groups. The low-order address bits (A0-A1) of the refresh address are supplied to an address predecoding unit (30) (rather than the high-order address bits) thereby allowing the row address decoding units to respond sequentially to the high-order address bits (A3-A1) of the refresh address (Fig. 5). In this way a refreshing operation of a component word line is carried out after recovery from any undesirable voltage fluctuation occurring in the refreshing operation for the previous word line in the same word line group.
