Abstract: A memory device provides a control circuit attached to a parity bit position of a memory array. When a selected single bit within an array entry has its value changed without affecting the remaining bits of the entry, the control circuit senses the previous value of the parity bit and internally stores the complement of that value into the parity bit position for that entry. This complementing of the parity bit occurs during the same memory cycle in which the selected bit is changed. Complementing of the parity bit to ensure proper parity function occurs without communication off of the device, and so is completely transparent to the outside world.

Abstract: A system for detecting a bar code symbol (202, 1002, 1202) receives a two-dimensional image (200, 1000; 200) containing the symbol, where the system has no a priori knowledge of the orientation of the symbol in the image. The system scans the image in one dimension to locate a quiet zone (1204) for the symbol and searches the image in one dimension to identify a start/stop character of the symbol. 
     A system for decoding a bar code symbol having a plurality of elements receives a signal representative of the symbol. The system searches the signal along a first search step (1228) to characterize the width of one of the elements (1206). The system then selects a second search step (1230) by projecting from the first search step onto a reference line (1226), where the reference line is not parallel to either the first or second search steps. The system then searches the signal along the second search step to characterize the width of another of the elements. 
     A system for decoding a bar code symbol (1802) having at least three elements (1806, 1808, ... 1838) receives a signal representative of the symbol. The system characterizes a first set of two or more elements by searching the signal along a first search step (1840). The system also characterizes a second set of two or more elements by searching the signal along a second search step (1842), where the first set and the second set have an element in common and where the first and second search steps are not collinear. The system characterizes the common element using the first and second characterizations.

Abstract: A water level regulating system controlling the water level of a head tank of each of a plurality of hydroelectric plant installed in cascade along a stream by using an opening of guide vanes (201, 203) of a hydraulic turbine (202, 204) as a manipulated variable, and the water level of the head tank as a controlled variable. Each hydroelectric plant has a water level regulator (100A, 100B) constituting the water level regulating system. Each of the water level regulator (100A) of an upstream hydroelectric plant and the water level regulator (100B) of a downstream hydroelectric plant has a device (103, 106) varying PID parameters for controlling the water level in accordance with the opening (φ₁, φ₂) of the guide vanes (201, 203), and a device (101, 104) varying a reference water level (Sv 1' , Sv 2' ) to a set water level (Sv₁, Sv₂). The downstream water level regulator (100B) further includes a feedforward compensating element (107) which compensates a feedforward signal corresponding to the opening (φ₁) of the guide vanes (201) of the upstream hydroelectric plant, and which varies its compensation characteristic by the opening (φ₂) of the guide vanes of the downstream hydroelectric plant. This arrangement makes it possible to quickly stabilize the water level of the head tank which may vary owing to changes in the operating state of the turbines or in an intake volume.

Abstract: A device (10) includes a filter such as a lag filter for digitally processing and filtering signals used in industrial control applications. The method provides a factor which is used by the filter to process the digital signal at the input (12) to the device (10). The method determines if the change in the input signal is either due to noise or a valid signal change. Information which gives a past analysis of the trend in direction of the signal at the input to the device is used. The trend information includes a factor representative of the past history of the trend. The method uses the most recent trend indicator to determine to a reasonable degree of confidence if the signal currently at the input to the device is or is not characteristic of noise. If the signal is not considered to be characteristic of noise, then the method adjusts the trend indicator by a tracking credit. The tracking credit is, in effect, a further degree of confidence that change in the input signal is not characteristic of noise.

Abstract: A zero shift compensation circuit particularly is used in an oxygen sensing apparatus and method employing a sensing cell including two pairs thermistors (W1,R1; W2,R2) and a source (102a,102b) of an inhomogenous magnetic field. One thermistor (W1,W2) of each pair is electrically heated and is positioned inside the magnetic field, and the second thermistor (R1,R2) of each pair is positioned adjacent to the respective first thermistor (W1,W2) of each pair, substantially outside the magnetic field. When oxygen is present in the sensing cell, the thermistors (W1,W2) inside the magnetic field generate a gas flow in the direction of the adjacent thermistors (R1,R2) of each pair positioned outside the magnetic field, thus tending to reduce the temperature of the thermistors (W1,W2) inside the field and increase the temperature of the thermistors (R1,R2) outside the field. The thermistors (W1,W2,R1,R2) are connected in a measuring bridge circuit including elements for maintaining the temperature of the thermistors at a substantially constant level, thereby providing a signal that can be used to compensate for changes in the thermal characteristics of the background gases. 
     The zero compensation circuit is formed of an inner bridge used to null the effects of background gases on the oxygen measuring circuit. The bridge uses non-linear voltage limiting elements (ZR1,ZR2) to allow for compensation of more than one background gas.
