When transmitting digital signals using time-division multiplexing via a transmission link with repeaters at which time slots are either only branched or also re-injected, the problem arises of continuing to maintain the transmission of information even when an alarm is triggered in a repeater. The present invention provides a bypass circuit via which the repeater is bypassed when an alarm is triggered therein. If a re-injection of time slots is provided, the bypass circuit can thereby transmit ...

Use of modified lysozyme c or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and its industrial production for the preparation of medicinal compositions, suitable for oral, parenteral and topical administration, for prophylaxis and therapy of diseases in mammals.

A computerized word recognition system, such as a speech recognition system, stores word models of a first and second set for each of a plurality of vocabulary words. The system has a user interface which enable a user to selectively prevent the use of a second set's word model for a selected word. Often the first set of word models are spelled word models, such as models represented by a sequence of phonetic component models, each of is derived from similar speech sounds occurring in different ...

A surface acoustic wave filter element is formed by replacing with a single parallel resonator having a driving electrode whose area is equal to the sum total of the areas of driving electrodes of a plurality of consecutive parallel resonators arranged in a ladder shape, together with serial resonators, for structuring a surface acoustic wave resonator. Also, in a surface acoustic wave filter formed by packaging the surface acoustic wave filter element, ground electrodes of the parallel resonato...

A field programmable gate array has a security antifuse which when programmed prevents readout of data indicative of how the interconnect structure is programmed but which does not prevent readout of data indicative of which other antifuses are programmed. In some embodiments, the programming control shift registers adjacent the left and right sides are the field programmable gate array are disabled when the security antifuse is programmed but the programming control shift registers adjacent the...

A referencing unit which creates addresses for main memory. Specifically, this reference unit is pipelined in the manner in which it receives the operators to be executed. Concurrency is achieved by allowing any number of read-type operations to be started before operators that are waiting for a store operation to finish even though these latter operators may appear earlier in the code stream. There are two inputs into the reference unit. Each is provided with a queue, one for receiving operator...

When many buses are provided, addition/omission of a bus frequently occurs. Whenever the addition/omission of the bus occurs, a configuration process of the overall network system must be performed. Thus, interruption of data communication occurs frequently. Second bridges are provided that are bridges each having a function of performing a configuration process for assigning individual identification numbers to a lower network. The second bridges are used to connect buses to one another.

An apparatus provides a sequence detected signal indicating that a synchronization sequence occurring at regular intervals in a stream of data has occurred or should have occurred. The apparatus includes logic for detecting the synchronization sequence, logic responsive to the detection logic for producing the sequence detected signal when the detection logic detects the sequence, and logic for producing the sequence detected signal at a fixed time after the synchronization sequence should have ...

A system for electronically displaying multiple images on a CRT screen such that some of the images are more prominent than others comprises: a control memory for storing control signals which partition the screen into an array of blocks, define multiple prioritized viewports by indicating which blocks are included in each viewport, and correlate respective image pixels to each viewport; a circuit for determining, from the control signals, the identity of the highest priority viewport to include...

Machine for packaging paper pockets or bags containing substances used in infused beverages comprising a plurality of cup or pan-like devices, having a central depression, on which bears a first or lower paper ribbon or web receiving measures or doses or said substance, e.g. in powdered form, metering means to supply said measures to said paper ribbon, tamping means to tamp said substance and means to apply and seal a second paper ribbon on said first paper ribbon closing said substance measures...
