Patent CA-2342472-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WIATROWSKI JACEK
IPC: A61K31/5377
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: A row addressing circuit for DRAM memory is disclosed. An additional address or mode bit is used to select between a long page and a short page mode access in each memory block within a memory array. The operation is done on the fly, allowing the user to dynamically choose between the addressing modes. Each memory block is divided into two sub-blocks, each having its own set of bitlines, associated bitline sense amplifiers and y-decoders. In the short page mode access, only one wordline in the memory block is activated. In the long page mode access, one wordline in each sub-block is activated. Therefore, twice the number of bits can be accessed in the long page mode access over the short page mode access. The addressing circuit also generates the necessary enable signals to ensure that the bitline sense amplifiers and y-decoders of both sub-blocks are enabled during the long page access mode.

IPC: H04W24/00
Filed: 1999-10-22
Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for implementing management functions on both sides of a base station management interface (116) (i.e., in both the base station manager (114) and the base station (104)) so that a plurality of different types of base stations (104) can be managed by the same base station manager (114).

As such, each type of base station (104) in the network (100) can maintain all of the software needed to perform the base station management services (e.g., element management services). Consequently, one common base station manager (114) can be used for the management of any type of base station (104). In other words, the base station manager (114) can be considered as a generic base station manager (220), and any base station (104) can be connected to the generic base station manager (220) via a management interface (116).

Abstract: Détecteur de neutrons rapides amélioré fabriqué à partir de couches alternées d'un matériau hydrogéné, transparent et non scintillant et d'un matériau scintillant. Les neutrons rapides interagissent avec le matériau hydrogéné, ce qui génère des protons de recul. Les protons de recul pénètrent le matériau scintillant, ce qui entraîne des scintillations. Le détecteur est optiquement raccordé à un tube photomultiplicateur qui génère des impulsions électriques d'une amplitude proportionnelle à l'intensité des scintillations, ce qui donne une indication de l'énergie des neutrons rapides qui touchent le détecteur. Les dimensions des couches alternées de matériaux optimisent l'efficacité globale du détecteur ou son efficacité spectroscopique. Le matériau scintillant est de préférence du sulfure de zinc, et le matériau hydrogéné est de préférence du plastique.
