Abstract: A double column air separation method in which a first stream of compressed air is cooled by passage through a main heat exchanger 6 from its warm end 8 countercurrently to a nitrogen stream withdrawn from the top of a lower pressure rectification column 22. The first stream of compressed air flows from the main heat exchanger 6 into a higher pressure rectification column 20 through and inlet 21. A second stream of compressed air is also passed into the warm end 8 of the main heat exchanger 6 and is cooled therein. The second stream of compressed air passes out of heat exchange with the nitrogen stream at a temperature lower than the exit temperature therefrom of the first stream of compressed air and at least 5K lower than the bubble point temperature of air at the pressure prevailing at the inlet 21. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid passes isenthalpically from the bottom of the higher pressure column 20 to the lower pressure column 22. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A low voltage, broadband differential operational amplifier which eliminates the long tail current source from the amplifier, thereby relieving the headroom requirements by a few tenths of a volt. An input common mode feedback circuit (11) is used to overcome the problems arising from the removal of the long tail current source of prior art circuits. This circuit monitors the common mode feedback current (CMFB) and when the value of the current exceeds a specified range around the nominal amplifier bias current, an appropriate correction in the common mode input voltage (Vin) is made. This novel amplifier will be valuable for use in pipelined analog-to-digital converter applications, as well as many other low voltage and/or portable applications. <IMAGE>

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé de raccordement d'une conduite rigide (12) à un tuyau flexible (22). Le dispositif pour le raccordement d'une conduite rigide (12) à un tuyau flexible (22) est destiné à être utilisé dans des utilisations de basse pression par lequel la communication fluidique entre la conduite rigide (12) et le tuyau flexible (22) est entravée. Selon l'invention, le raccordement comporte une bride de serrage (30). Après l'assemblage du raccordement mettant en oeuvre le procédé de l'invention, une extrémité terminale du tuyau flexible (22) est interposée entre l'extrémité terminale de la conduite rigide (12) et la bride de serrage (30). Chacune de la conduite rigide (12) et la bride de serrage (30) est déformée pour définir des pointes annelées en coopération, et pour provoquer la déformation du tuyau flexible (22) entre celles-ci. La déformation du tuyau flexible (22) entre la conduite rigide (12) et les pointes annelées de la bride de serrage (30) permet de former un obturateur pour empêcher la communication fluidique entre la conduite rigide (12) et le tuyau flexible (22), et par ailleurs évite que le raccordement soit enlevé. Dans une variante, au moins la conduite rigide (12) est déformée pour définir une pointe annelée barbelée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la bride de serrage (30) est également déformée. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la bride de serrage (30) définit une surface moletée (42) pour accroître la résistance de friction entre la bride de serrage (30) et la conduite flexible (22).

Abstract: A system for preventing bus contention in a multifunction integrated circuit during testing. The system is implemented in an integrated circuit adapted to accept a series of test inputs operable for testing the functionality of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes at least one bus for communicatively coupling the multiple functional blocks. At least a first functional block and a second functional block included in the integrated circuit, the first functional block and the second functional block both coupled to the bus and coupled to accept the test inputs. A bus arbiter is also included in the integrated circuit for granting ownership of the bus. The bus arbiter is operable to disable at least one output of the second functional block if a corresponding output of the first functional block is activated by using a bus grant signal generated for the first functional block. This guarantees that the test inputs can propagate through the first functional block and the second functional block without causing contention for the bus between the first functional block and the second functional block. Alternatively, a centralized test device controller is used to disable the output of the second functional block, as opposed to using the grant signals of the bus arbiter. This allows the incorporation of the implementing logic without altering the logic of the bus arbiter.
