Patent EP-0474274-A2 (EP)
Inventor: WEST BURNELL
IPC: G01R31/319
Filed: 1991-08-12
Abstract: A number of local sequencers, one for each pin of the device under test is disclosed. Each local sequencer is provided with a global clock, a global time zero signal indicating the clock edge for referencing the start of a test, and a period vernier indicating an offset from the clock for the start of the test period. Each local sequencer uses this information to generate its own test events referenced to the test period with individual calibration delays factored in locally. Each local sequencer is individually programmable so that different sequencers can provide different numbers of events during the same test period.

Abstract: A computer system including a processor and memory, the processor having a virtual mode of operation in which it uses a virtual machine monitor which allows it to service a plurality of users contemporaneously in a multiplexed manner, and a non-virtual, or real, mode of operation. The computer system has a set of at least three operation mode protection rings representing a hierarchy of access privilege levels in both the real and virtual modes, with the number of privilege levels in both the real and virtual modes being the same. The privilege levels govern the accessibility of memory locations to programs and the executability of certain privileged instructions, which cause control to be transferred to the virtual machine monitor when the processor is in a virtual mode. The two most privileged levels in the virtual mode are both treated as corresponding to the second most privileged level in the real mode, whereby if the processor is in the most privileged virtual operating mode, access to memory locations is permitted only if the location is accessible to the second most privileged mode. When an instruction is retrieved, the processor first performs a probe operation to determine whether it can access any required memory locations in response to its current privilege level, and then determines whether it is in a privilege level which allows it to process the instruction.

Abstract: The steering shaft for motor vehicles has two shafts (1, 2) whose end sections (3, 4) which face one another are located one next to the other. The latter are angled off. Flanges (5, 6) which overlap one another are attached to the end sections (3, 4) and, in the regions which overlap one another, have bores into which guide bolts (7) which are attached to the other flange project. Said bolts protrude with their free end with respect to the flange (6) which has the bores. The part of the guide bolt (7) which protrudes with respect to the flange (6) is at least as long as the bushing penetrated by said bolt. The diameter of the protruding part of the guide bolt (7) is smaller than the diameter of that part which is received by the bushing. Tear-off stops (11) are arranged on the free ends of the guide bolts (7).

Abstract: To activate the optical indicator which is implemented by means of light-emitting diodes (LED1, LED2) connected in parallel with the audible signal generator (RA), an AC-voltage-shaped signal is applied to the analog subscriber connection line (ASL). Through the selection of its characteristic parameters (frequency, relationship between the temporal duration of the signal and the subsequent pause time), it is ensured that the audible ringing indicator does not respond. The timed ringing signal voltage is used as the AC-current-shaped signal. This timing can be carried out centrally or on an individual line basis. Instead of the timed ringing signal voltage, an additional central AC voltage signal generator (SG) can also be used whose frequency differs significantly from the resonant frequency of the audible ringing indicator in the terminal equipment. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A semiconductor device has a capacitor insulating film composed of a first and a second silicon nitride film. The surface of a lower electrode (3) of impurity-doped polysilicon is transformed into the first silicon nitride film (1) by thermal nitriding, and thereafter the second silicon nitride film is formed by chemical vapor deposition. An upper electrode (4) is formed on the second silicon nitride film (2). A silicon oxide film (7) may be formed on the second silicon nitride film by thermal oxidation. The capacitor insulating film which has a thickness of 5 nm or less in equivalent thickness of an oxide film reduces a leakage current and improves a long-term product reliability.

Abstract: A color development system (10), method, and apparatus for an electrophotographic color printer (80) which utilizes a plurality of developer rollers (22, 24, 26, 28) positioned at stationary locations between individual sources of color toner (29, 31, 33, 35) and the surface of an adjacent photoconductive drum (50). Each of these developer rollers (22, 24, 26, 28) are rotated about a fixed axis of rotation (38, 40, 42, 44) to attract charged color toners to the surface thereof while simultaneously being selectively driven by sources (45, 47, 49, 51) of AC and DC signal voltage to thereby electrostatically project colored toners of cyan, yellow, magenta, and black onto the surface of the photoconductive drum (50). Individual colored toner layers are then developed on the surface of the photoconductive drum (50) and then serially transferred to an adjacent print media (62) which passes between the surface (48) of the photoconductive drum (50) and an adjacent transfer roller (58). The print media (62) traverses a 360⁰ path for the transfer thereon of each of the cyan, yellow, magenta, and black color images, and each color plane is successively fused into the paper on each 360⁰ pass. The composite developed color image is then passed by a fuser roller (90, 92) and into a paper collection tray or bin (84).

Abstract: An tube loading apparatus for loading a flexible tube to a tube loaded section which can support the tube in contact with the outer surface thereof is disclosed. The tube loading apparatus includes a head which is constituted from a base, a pair of chucks mounted on the base and a driving mechanism for moving one of the chucks. Thus constituted head is movable in X and Y directions relative to the tube loaded section. Each of the chucks has a pair of holding members for holding the tube. One of the chucks is adapted to move in the X direction by the driving mechanism so as to change the distance between the chucks. The driving mechanism is driven under the condition that the tube is held by the holding members of the chucks, to increase the longitudinal distance of the tube while reducing the outer diameter of the tube, and thus deformed tube is inserted into the tube loading section by keeping the deformed condition, and then the chucks are operated so as to release the tube. Accordingly, the tube can be automatically loaded into the tube loading section.
