Abstract:
Picture display device with one or more resonant selection pulse drivers for generating selection pulses for selecting rows of pixels. The resonant selection pulse driver has two driver output electrodes to which selection electrode(s) are connected for simultaneously generating a pulse trailing edge at one driver output electrode and generating a pulse leading edge at the other driver output electrode.
Abstract:
A display device comprising electron-transport ducts having entrance apertures for electrons and means for generating electrons and injecting electrons into the transport ducts via the entrance apertures. Measures have been taken to improve the picture quality. For example, the location of the entrance aperture is not the same for each transport duct, but instead shows a variation. This enables an improved control of the electron flow in the transport ducts to be achieved; in particular crosstalk between the transport ducts can be reduced.
Abstract:
A planar electron-optical lens is obtained on a semiconductor cathode surface by providing an extra electrode (16) around the gate electrode (14). Dependent on the applied voltage, this configuration operates, for example, as a positive lens which supplies parallel beams without dispersion, suitable for thin, flat display devices. A large positioning tolerance is obtained due to the inherent magnification of the beam diameter in the semiconductor device, while a grid can be dispensed with.
Abstract:
The invention relates to method and a system of interpreting angular orientation data. It is determined, whether the angular deviation of a current angular orientation (C) of a sensor device (12) from a last extreme angular orientation (L) currently decreases after having increased before up to a provisional new extreme angular orientation (P), thereby determining that the provisional new extreme angular orientation (P) is a new extreme angular orientation. Information relating to a new extreme angular orientation, such as an angular range of motion, may be output to a user.
Abstract:
A method for automatically monitoring consciousness of a person and triggering an alarm if the monitored person is not in a state of full consciousness is provided. The method comprises the steps: monitoring at least one aspect of the behavior of the person (S1); analyzing whether the monitored behavior of the person corresponds to an expected behavior for a state of full consciousness or not (S2, S2′); triggering an alarm if the analysis results in that the detected behavior does not correspond to the expected behavior (S3).

Abstract:
A memory apparatus has a main memory (10) that comprises a plurality of physical blocks of memory locations. The main memory (10), for example a flash memory, supports erasing of at least a physical block at a time. A chain of pointers (72, 75) that ultimately points to pointing information such as a logical address to physical address mapping table is stored in the main memory (10), each pointer (72, 75) being stored in a respective one of the blocks (70, 74), each non-final pointer (72) in the chain pointing to a respective block (74) that contains a next pointer in the chain. On start up of main memory (10) the pointing information is located by following said chain, using the pointers from the main memory. In normal operation direct pointers stored in a RAM are preferably used.
Abstract:
In an example embodiment, an electronic circuit comprises a memory matrix with rows and columns of memory cells. First row conductors are provided for each of the rows. Second row conductors correspond to pairs of rows, each successive row forming a respective pair with a preceding one of the rows, so that each pair overlaps with one row of the next pair. Column conductors are provided for each of the columns. Each of the memory cells comprises an access transistor, a node and a first and a second resistive memory element. The access transistor has a control electrode coupled to the first row conductor of the row of the memory cell, a main current channel coupled between the column conductor for the column of the memory cell and the node. The first and second the resistive memory element are coupled between the node and the second row conductors for the pairs of rows to which the memory cell belongs.
Abstract:
Method for writing a label on a recordable record carrier (1), the record carrier adhering to a predefined, standardized condition with respect to a physical parameter. The method retrieves label information, parameter information on the physical parameter, which parameter information is of a higher precision than the precision of the physical parameter mentioned in the pre-defined, standardized condition (22), and writing the label information on the optical disc using the parameter information (26). The invention further relates to a device for performing the method. Retrieving parameter information on the physical parameter with a higher precision than the precision of the physical parameter mentioned in the pre-defined, standardized condition enables writing such a label without a significant distortion in the label.

The present invention relates to a write controller for a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a read controller for a memory with a plurality of nonvolatile storage cells, to a combined write/read controller, to a solid state device comprising a memory with a plurality of non-volatile storage cells, a programmer device for writing a binary code to a non-volatile memory, to a method for writing data comprising at least one input bit to a memory having non-volatile storage cells, and to a method for controlling the integrity of data comprising at least one input bit stored in non-volatile storage cells of a memory. The basic concept of the present invention is to extend information stored in a non-volatile memory by at least one checking bit. The checking bit is allocated to one code bit, or to each of a plurality of code bits.
