Compositions having the nominal formula Bi a Sr b Ca c Cu3O x wherein a is from about 1 to 3, b is from about 3/8 to 4, c is from about 3/16 to 2, x = (1.5a + b + c + y) where y is from about 2 to 5, with the proviso that "b + c" is from about 3/2 to 5, containing a metal oxide phase of the formula Bi, Sr3-z, Ca z, Cu2, O8+w wherein z is from about 0.1 to 0.9 w is greater than zero but less tha...

This invention includes an algorithm, which detects and identifies the error in each memory address of the Reduced Specification Integrated Memory chips (RSIMC). RSIMC with the same error pattern will then be grouped together along with the Error Correction Apparatus (ECA) for assembly into memory modules. ECA employs the redundant Error Correcting Algorithm which enables the rejected, fallout, au...

A spring roller-mounted pull-out screen for use as a child safety barrier across a doorway has a control mechanism which prevents the screen from extending when impacted by a child. The roller is locked against rotation in a direction allowing the screen to unwind unless released by a manual push-button. The roller automatically locks after the screen has been extended and fitted in place. The aut...

A safety tassel of the pulling cords, use in a venetian blind for example, is disclosed. the safety tassel comprises fixed engaging means to fixedly engage with one of the cords and one or more removable engaging means to releasably engage with other cords. When any little child is looped by the cords over his or her neck by accident, the cords will be automatically released to stop the unfortunat...

The present invention is a novel thin and flexible radio frequency (RF) tag that comprises a semiconductor circuit that has logic, memory, and radio frequency circuits, connected to an antenna with all interconnections placed on a single plane of wiring without crossovers. The elements of the package (substrate, antenna, and laminated covers) are flexible. The elements of the package are all thin....

A device for the heat treatment of a substrate comprises a base (1) on which is mounted a heating chamber (2), a conveyer (3) for transportation of the substrate (4), a part of which is located inside the heating chamber, and a support (5) mounted on the conveyer (3). The support (5) consists of a heat-conducting plate (11) secured to two rods (12) interconnected at the centre of gravity. The plat...

An equalizer for equalizing the charge on several series connected cells includes a capacitor and a pair of switching devices selectively connecting each cell across the capacitor. The switching devices of each pair are sequentially turned ON and OFF such that each cell is alternately connected in sequence across the capacitor. The capacitor is charged to the voltage level of the most highly charg...

An equalizer for equalizing the charge on several series-connected cells includes a transformer having plural windings on a core corresponding to the number of cells. The windings are tightly coupled to one another. A switching device such as a MOSFET is connected to each of the windings, and a winding and a switching device are connected across each of the cells. The switching devices are simulta...
