A dynamically reprogrammable logic array including an AND array and an OR array having an output register at the output of the OR array. Commands stored in a load directory specify subarrays within an array for repersonalization. In addition to specifying subarrays, the commands specify an address in load storage containing the personality to be loaded into the subarrays. The load commands stored in the load directory are selectable by a microprocessor, another logic array or by the same logic a...

A dynamically variable oscillating adjustment assembly including a frame and a first link means pivotally connected at one end to the frame and an adjustment mechanism positioned intermediate the one end of the first link means and the frame to adjustably position the first link means with respect to the frame. A second link means pivotally connected at one end to the other end of the first link means and pivotally connected at the other end to a first arm of a bell crank pivotally mounted upon ...

Thermoplastic compositions useful as molded parts including automotive hoses and exterior body parts which exhibit good flow and good surface characteristics in injection molded parts. The compositions comprise equal proportions of a polyolefin, a halogenated butyl rubber and polychloroprene wherein the rubbers have been dynamically vulcanized to a fully cured state in the presence of the polyolefin.

Thermoplastic compositions of matter useful as gasketing materials as well as flexible boots and seals which are soft, have low compression set and high tensile. The compositions comprise a polyolefin resin and at least two different rubbers, one of which is vulcanized to a fully cured state by a cure system which leaves the other rubber(s) unvulcanized. The preferred embodiment comprises a blend of polypropylene and ethylene vinylacetate as the polyolefin resin component, EPDM as the uncured ru...

A memory controller circuit arrangement and method utilize a tuning circuit that dynamically controls the timing of memory control operations, rather than simply relying on fixed timing parameters that are either hardwired or initialized upon startup of a memory controller. Dynamic control over the timing of memory control operations typically incorporates memory test control logic that verifies whether or not a memory storage device will reliably operate using the dynamically-selected values of...

A tileable computer display includes a first device having a processor and a display maintainable in communication with a second device having a processor and a display. Specific data to be displayed on both devices is based on respective spatial positions of the first device and second device relative to each other. Communication links can be through radio, optical, or physical interconnects.

A catheter enabling a reduced puncture hole size into the skin and blood vessel is disclosed. In one embodiment, the catheter has an elongate body having an expandable sheath extending at least a portion of its length. A pressure constraining sheath is positioned to surround the expandable sheath, at a selected region to prevent expansion of the inner sheath at the region of the constraining sheath. In one preferred use, the constraining sheath is positioned at the puncture hole. During use, the...

A system for redistributing a broadband audio-visual-data signal to a multiplicity of receiver units within a multiple dwelling unit (MDU) includes a main receiving antenna that receives a broadband video/audio/data signal having a number of individual program multiplex signals therein and a transmodulator device that transmodulates a selected subset of the individual program multiplex signals associated with the broadband signal from a first modulation scheme to a second modulation scheme. The ...

Stabilized contact lens are provided in which the stabilization zones are obtained by using spline or polynomials to describe one or more peripheral portions of a surface of the lens. The lens' stabilization zones are smoothly integrated into the lens providing a lens that is both effectively stabilized on the eye and comfortable for the lens wearer.

A system for mapping a sparsely populated virtual space of variable sized memory objects to a more densely populated physical address space of fixed size memory elements for use by a host processor comprises an object cache for caching frequently accessed memory elements and an object manager for managing the memory objects used by the host processor. The object manager may further comprise an address translation table for translating virtual space addresses for memory objects received from the ...
