Abstract: The method involves generating a dummy timing cycle for disabling bitline equalizer by supplying a negative test pulse. The bitline equaliser is disabled to set up a floating bitline test mode. A row address strobe signal is enabled and read operation is started in a normal mode. Defective bitlines are detected during dummy timing cycles.

Abstract: The drive mechanism (128) is for a transport installation with two cables (12,14) on which in line cable cars are coupled. It comprises two reduction motors (106,108). The reduction motors rotate two driving pulleys (100,102) to move the two cables synchronously. The mechanism includes a common pulley (104) with double adhesion. This is mounted to idle freely or to be lightly driven. This pulley engages with the first cable on one of the half peripheries and with the second cable on the other half periphery. The winding zones of the cables constitute identical circular segments symmetrical about the diametral median of the common pulley to compensate the differences in speed between the two cables.

Abstract: The method includes inclining the container (2) from the vertical at an angle ( alpha ) so as to ensure confinement of the foreign body in an inspection zone (5) forming part of the base of the container, illuminating the inspection zone, collecting by first camera (11) the light transmitted by the container, and analysing the video signal delivered by the camera so as to determine if there is a foreign body in the container. The aiming axis (A) of the camera (11) is sensibly tangential to the internal wall (7) of the container which extends from the corner of the inspection zone (5). At least a grey scale from the video signal is analysed so as to detect the presence of a shadow zone (i4) corresponding to a foreign body. The video image is analysed by defining on the image a separation line (P) which delimits one side an inspection zone (Z1 ) and from the other side a second inspection zone (Z2) in which appears the eventual makings on the container corner. A search is carried out for a shadow zone, in the first inspection zone (Z1), corresponding to a foreign body. In the absence of a foreign body in the first zone (Z1) a search is carried out in the second zone (Z2) for a foreign body.

Abstract: In a method and apparatus for duplicating an original key, the keyway and keycode of the original key are measured and duplicated in a preform. The preform used in the duplication process need not include any keyway or keycode prior to the duplication process and, therefore, a single type of preform may be used in generating duplicates of many different types of keys. The apparatus may be automated to take the measurements of the original key and to cut the duplicate key, thus reducing the possibility of producing a nonfunctional duplicate.

Abstract: A read-only memory is made electrically addressable over a passive conductor matrix, wherein at least a portion of the volume between intersection of two conductors (2;4) in the matrix defines a memory cell (5) in the read-only memory. Data are stored as impedance values in the memory cells. The memory cells (5) comprise either an isolating material (6) which provides high impedance or one or more inorganic or organic semiconductors (9), preferably with an anisotropic conducting property. The semiconductor material (9) forms a diode junction at the interface to a metallic conductor (2;4) in the matrix. By suitable arrangement of respectively the isolating material (6) and semiconductor material (9) in the memory cells these may be given a determined impedance value which may be read electrically and corresponds to logical values in a binary or multi-valued code. The read-only memory device may be realized either as planar or also volumetrically by stacking several read-only memories (ROM) above each other and connecting them with the substrate (1) via addressing buses (14). Such read-only memory devices may be implemented on memory cards with standard card interfaces and used for storage of source information.

A separate custom gamma curve generator circuit is provided for each of the RBG and luminance channels. A plurality of control points is provided and stored in a lookup table (LUT) stored in a random access memory (RAM). The control points are set and/or adjusted by the operator or loaded from a prestored set (e.g. a default custom gamma curve). The instantaneous input signal is divided into two portions-a control point address portion comprising the most significant bits (MSBs) of the input signal, and an interpolation address portion comprising the least significant bits (LSBs) of the input signal. The MSBs are used to select a particular control point value stored in RAM. The LSBs are used for interpolation of values with a smooth curve between control points. Also described are various user interfaces for the custom gamma curve generator.
