Abstract: A fault diagnose array (5) with number of storable lines equal to number of independent errors of a faulty main memory (2) is provided. The wordline number and input/output unit number of a detected faulty memory cell are compared with the data contents of the fault diagnose array to enable the non-update of the fault diagnose array, the storing of the wordline number in the line and a flag setting. The wordline number of a wordline and the input/output unit number of an input/output unit are connected to the detected faulty memory cell. A first flag indicating the occurrence of a new error on a same wordline with a different input/output unit, and a second flag indicating the occurrence of a faulty wordline with the same input/output unit, are set. The fault diagnose array is not updated when the wordline number and input/output unit number of the detected faulty memory cell are already stored in the line of the array. If the input/output number or wordline number of the detected faulty memory cell is already stored in the line of the array, the wordline number is stored in the line or the first flag is set in the line. The wordline number and input/output unit number of the detected faulty memory cell are written into a further line when the further line is available in the fault diagnose array, otherwise, the faulty main memory cannot be repaired. An independent claim is also included for a memory chip.

Abstract: A semi-conductor screen for power cables consists of conductive material dispersed in a polymer matrix and comprises a layer of high longitudinal volume conductivity and a layer in contact with the insulating layer within the cable which restricts the injection of charges into the insulating layer from the screen. A semiconductor screen (3, 5) for a power cable comprises two layers (31, 32; 51, 52), each consisting of conducting material dispersed in a polymer matrix. The first of these layers (31, 51) has a longitudinal volume conductivity of more than 0.1 S/m at 20-90 degrees C. The second layer (32, 52) is designed to be in contact with an electrically insulating layer (4) in the power cable and is such that only a small quantity of space charges can be injected into (4) from the second layer (32, 52), i.e. the quantity of charge which can be injected into (4) from the screen (3, 5) is less than that which can be injected into (4) from the second layer alone, the second layer (32, 52) forming a barrier to the injection of charges into layer (4). An Independent claim is also included for a power cable with a screen as described above.

Abstract: The echo canceller is designed for full-duplex
OFDM of DTM transceivers. The echo canceller
comprises means (7) for calculating an echo estimate (   y and   i   )
based data (   X   i ,   ) provided by the transmitter portion
(5) of the transceiver and an echo characteristic
estimate (Wi), which is adaptively updated based on data
(ei) provided by the receiver portion (6) of the
transceiver. The echo estimate (   y and   i   ) is subtracted from
the received signal in the receiver portion (6) of the
transceiver. The echo estimate (   y and   i   ) is the sum of a
cyclic echo estimate (   y and   i   cyclic   ), a linear echo estimate
(   y and   i   LE   ) and a correction for the cyclic echo estimate
(   y and   i   corr   ). All estimates (   y and   i   cyclic ,  y and   i   LE   ,    y and   i   corr   ) are
calculated in the frequency domain. The echo canceller is
precise, is suited for long echoes and has a low
computational complexity.

Abstract: Une pince de serrage (10) pour le crâne à trois broches comprend un cadre en C (12) qui entoure partiellement la tête (18) du patient, un ensemble (22) à broche unique à ressort placé à une extrémité du cadre (12) et conçu pour venir en contact avec la tête (18) du patient selon une force désirée, et deux broches espacées (30) montées sur un bras basculant (44) placé à une extrémité opposée du cadre (12). Chacune des broches (30) du bras basculant se trouve en contact fonctionnel avec un capuchon indicateur (66) retenu par un ensemble support (50) de broches à ressort. Le capuchon indicateur (66) se déplace par rapport au reste de l'ensemble support de broches (50) en réaction à la force de contact appliquée sur la broche correspondante (30) par la tête (18) du patient. En comparant les positions des capuchons indicateurs (66) par rapport à leurs ensembles supports de broches respectifs (50), on peut facilement déterminer si les forces de contact sont réparties de manière égale entre les deux broches (30) du bras basculant. Si les capuchons indicateurs (66) présentent une répartition de charge très inégale, le bras basculant (44) peut être réglé par pivotement pour le réorienter, ce qui permet d'obtenir une répartition de charge plus égale sus deux broches espacées (30).

Abstract: A floorboard and an openable locking system therefor comprise an undercut groove on one long side of the floorboard and a projecting tongue on the opposite long side of the floorboard. The undercut groove has a corresponding upwardly directed inner locking surface at a distance from its tip. The tongue and the undercut groove are formed to be brought together and pulled apart by a pivoting motion which has its centre (C) close to the intersection between the surface planes (HP) and the common joint plane (VP) of two adjoining floorboards. The undercut in the groove of such a locking system is produced by means of at least two disk-shaped cutting tools whose rotary shafts are inclined relative to each other to form first an inner part of the undercut portion of the groove and then a locking surface positioned closer to the opening of the groove. An installation method for a floor of such boards comprises the steps of laying a new board adjacent to a previously laid board, moving the tongue of the new board into the mouth of the undercut groove of the laid board, angling the new board upward during continued insertion of the tongue into the undercut groove and simultaneously angling down the new board to the final position. A manufacturing method for manufacturing the undercut groove uses machining by means of at least two different rotary cutting tools whose rotary shaft is set at different angles. A wedge-shaped tool for laying of the floorboards is wedge-shaped with an upwardly directed engaging surface at its thicker end.

Abstract: Size of triangular polygons for composing an object
in computer graphics is compared with a predetermined
threshold value. Each polygon not exceeding the
threshold value is directly converted into pixels. On
the other hand, each polygon having a size which exceeds
the threshold value is divided, and the resultant
polygons are compared again. This ensures efficient
processing of the polygons without causing expansion of
the circuit constitution or significant increase in the
cost. Moreover, the processing of the polygon will never
be affected by the size of polygons.
