Title: Improvements relating to road barriers
Inventor: IVEY DON L
IPC: E01F15/14
Filed: 1990-01-05
Abstract: An impact attenuating barrier wall (68), in particular a concrete barrier wall terminal, has a structural concrete base (70) with a top channel portion adapted to receive a linear array of low strength reinforced concrete modules (72, 84), each composed of three crushable layers: a bottom layer (74) of semi-crushable, higher strength concrete adapted to secure reinforcements and S-beam connectors, to the base, an intermediate layer (76) of lower strength material and a top layer (78) of intermediate strength material. The last module (84), proximate the obstacle, has steel reinforcement in a triangular ramp configuration to cause the impacting vehicle to rise up to avoid the obstacle, if said vehicle has crushed all the preceding modules (72). For the structural concrete base (70) to coact with the undercarriage of the vehicle to cause friction and drag to contribute to bring the vehicle to rest, the height of the non-­crushable base increases, in direction of the traffic flow, in step-wise (92) or sloping fashion.

Abstract: A curable organosilicon composition comprises a component having silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, a component having silicon-bonded radicals reactive therewith, a curing catalyst, a catalyst-inhibitor and a bath life extender. The use of certain compounds, which are ineffective as a bath life extender in the absence of a catalyst inhibitor, effectively extend the room temperature bath life of a silicone coating composition containing a catalyst inhibitor. Being a substantial non-inhibitor for the catalyst the bath life extender component does not effect the cure time and/or cure temperature of the composition. 
     This discovery has permitted the preparation of curable coating compositions which have a long bath life at room temperature and a rapid cure time at elevated temperatures which does not drift to longer intervals as the coating compositions ages over a typical production run. 
     The room temperature cure times of the organopolysiloxane coating compositions of this invention are adequately long and their cure times at elevated temperature are advantageously brief, that they are useful in fast-paced coating operations, such as adhesive release coating operations wherein the cured coating is further coated with an adhesive in-line, i.e., immediately after being cured.

Abstract: A phase locked loop circuit (10) regenerates a synchronizing signal. A first counter (36) counts adjustable and fixed time intervals. A flip/flop (38) generates synchronizing pulses having periods defined by sets of the adjustable and fixed time intervals. A second counter (12) successively measures phase differences between synchronizing pulses and input pulses related to a synchronizing component in a video signal. The phase differences are measured between the ends of the adjustable time intervals in the synchronizing pulses and the input pulses. Each of the phase measurements results in a period correction value for controlling the duration or period of the very next one of the adjustable time intervals. The second counter (12) is reset at the ends of the fixed time intervals. A network defining a loop filter may comprise an accumulator (16, 18, 20), a first scaler (22), a summer (24), and a second scaler (26) for calculating weighted phase difference measurements to define the period correction values. A multiplexer (30) responsive to the synchronizing pulses selects between the period correction values and a constant value as an output value for determining when the first counter (36) is reset.

Title: Schaltungsanordnung zur zeitweisen Verzögerung des Programmablaufs in einem Mikroprozessor

Abstract: Übliche Mikroprozessoren erwarten eine bestimmte Anzahl von Prozessortakten nach einem Zugriff auf eine externe Einrichtung, insbesondere nach einem Lesebefehl für einen externen Datenspeicher, die Daten auf dem Bus zur Übernahme. Wenn nun ein relativ langsamer Speicher zusammen mit einem schnellen Mikroprozessor verwendet wird, kann es sein, daß die Daten zum erwarteten Zeitpunkt noch nicht vorhanden sind. Bei Mikroprozessoren, bei denen kein Haltzustand möglich ist, ist es bekannt, die Taktfrequenz während des Lesens des externen Speichers herabzusetzen, bis die Daten tatsächlich vorhanden sind. Dies führt jedoch zu einer schwankenden mittleren Taktfrequenz des Mikroprozessors, so daß von dem Takt gesteuerte interne Zeitgeber keine definierten Zeiten abmessen können. Erfindungsgemäß wird nun vorgeschlagen, die Taktfrequenz in dem Abschnitt des Arbeitszyklus des Mikroprozessors herabzusetzen, in dem ein Zugriff auf eine externe Einrichtung auftreten kann, und den übrigen Teil des Zyklus mit maximaler Taktfrequenz zu arbeiten. Dies erfolgt zwar auch dann, wenn tatsächlich kein Zugriff stattfindet, jedoch ist dann die mittlere Taktfrequenz des Mikroprozessors konstant, so daß interne Zeitgeber weiterhin mit dem Taktsignal arbeiten können. Es werden Maßnahmen angegeben, den Teil des Arbeitszyklus des Mikroprozessors, in dem die Taktfrequenz herabgesetzt wird, möglichst genau an den Abschnitt des Zyklus anzupassen, der von dem Auslösen des Zugriffs bzw. des Auslesens bis zur tatsächlichen Lieferung der Daten reicht. <IMAGE>
