Abstract: A scheme for the implementation of single error correction, double error detection function is provided for cache memories wherein the normal cache access time is not affected by the addition of the ECC function. Check bits are provided for multiple bytes of data, thereby lowering the overhead of the error detecting and correcting technique. When a single error is detected, a cycle is inserted by the control circuitry of the cache chip. At the same time, the clocks for the CPU are held high until released by the cache chip on the next cycle. Error correction on multi-byte data is performed using, for example, the 72/64 Hamming code. The technique requires a 2-port cache array (one write port, and one read port). However, the density of a true 2-port array is too low; therefore, the technique is implemented with a 1-port array using a time multiplexing technique, providing an effective 2-port array but with the density of a single port array.

Abstract: Bales (46) of filamentary material are separated into weighed charges of the material by disintegrating the bales in a rotating drum (50) to produce tufts that are passed to a picking chamber (262) wherein a toothed roll strips individual filaments from a supply roll formed from the tufts and passing the filaments to scales (68) upon which the charges are accumulated. Each time a charge is accumulated on a scale, air (54) is blown across the scale to discharge the scale. The charges are delivered to a magazine having a plurality of vertically stacked chambers (708-716), each chamber underlain by a movable gate (700-706), through which the charges are passed sequentially to be discharged at a fixed schedule from the lowermost chamber (708). Spikes mounted on the interior of the drum are shaped to loosen portions of bales entering the drum, tear tufts from such portions, and finally deposit the tufts into an air stream passing through the drum to expel the tufts. Between the drum and the picking chamber (262), the tufts are treated with an anti-static compound in a chamber through which the tufts fall while a mist of the compound is injected into the chamber. Above the picking chamber, the tufts enter a deflection tower (352) and are deflected to one side or the other of the picking chamber to concentrate the supply roll (298) at one side of the picking chamber and filaments to each of two scales (347,349) are drawn from opposite sides of the picking chamber.

Abstract: In a display device having a plurality of scanning-side electrodes (Y1-Yi) arranged in one direction, a plurality of data-side electrodes (X1-Xi) arranged in a second direction intersection the first direction, and dielectric layers (3, 4, 3a) interposed therebetween, a modulated voltage the magnitude of which is varied according to the emission or non-emission of light is applied to the data-side electrodes (Y1-Yi), while applying a write voltage in line sequential fashion to the scanning-side electrodes (X1-Xi), thereby performing the display control. In such a display device, the polarity of the voltage applied between the data-side electrode and the scanning-side electrode corresponding to the picture element to be driven for light emission is reversed one or more times during the period in which the write voltage is being applied to the scanning-side electrode. This serves to reduce the modulated voltage and the write voltage, thus contributing to the reduction in power consumption. Even when the modulated voltage or the write voltage is reduced, the desired brightness of emitted light can be obtained. In the case of not lowering the modulated voltage or the write voltage, it is possible to further enhance the brightness of emitted light.

Abstract: A collapsible steering column arrangement for a vehicle comprises a U-shaped deformable member (30) connected to a fixed support (27,28,29) for the steering column and a deforming member (21) connected to the steering column (17) itself. Under impact conditions caused by an accident the members move relative to one another thus allowing the steering column to collapse. This relative movement of the members enables the deforming member to contact the base of the 'U' to deform the U-shaped deformable member as shown to reduce its overall length thus absorbing the energy of the impact and allowing the column to collapse in a controlled manner. The members can be shaped and dimensioned to give the desired energy absorption characteristics.
