PURPOSE:To limit current consumption for a defective data line by inhibiting the actuation of a load MOSFET of the defetive data line with the signal produced from an address comparator consisting of an address comparator which selects the column selection signal of defective bits and performs a switch to a spare memory array. CONSTITUTION:The load MOSFETQ5-Q8 and Q13 and Q14 of each data line con...

The individual rows of a ROM array are accessed by a row decoder/driver in response to the arrival of the address of the individual row on the address lines. A plurality of programmable switches store the address of a row of ROM array found to contain one or more defects. If the incoming address is that of the defective row each of a plurality of comparators connected to both an address line and t...

Novel 5'-deoxy-5-fluoropyrimidine nucleosides are potent anti-tumor agents. Preferred compounds are 5'-deoxy-5-fluorocytidine and 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine.

At least one compound of the formula I, in which the substituents R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4> and R<5> have the meanings given in Patent Claim 1, is added as sweetening agent to the substance to be sweetened. A mixture of such compounds or a combination of at least one compound of the formula I with a solid or liquid extender or carrier can also be used. The compounds of the formula I are derivatives o...

A remote manipulator arm interconnects a manipulator tool (13) to a support (1). The arm comprises three independent motorized arm components (7,17 and 11). Conventional arm components are arranged for end-to-end coupling with a fixed end coupling at one end and articulated coupling disposed in a fork (10) at the other end. The present invention provides at least one intermediate component (17) wh...

This system comprises a discoid nematic liquid consisting, for example, of a truxene derivative, a triphenylene derivative or a mixture of these derivatives, and a colloidal organic dispersion of magnetic particles. It can be employed in display devices or in devices for measuring weak magnetic fields.;

L'INVENTION CONCERNE UN SYSTEME LIQUIDE ANISOTROPE CONTENANT UNE PHASE LIQUIDE DISCOIDE NEMA...

Griseolic acid derivatives of formula (I): (I) wherein A represents: have enzyme-inhibitory activity, especially against cAMP PDE and cGMP PDE. When formulated as compositions with appropriate carriers or diluents, they may be used for the treatment of a variety of organic disorders and show toxicities less than griseolic acid itself.

An aqueous alkaline dispersion of a rubbery graft low gel vinyl pyridine copolymer and a water soluble, heat reactive phenolic resin is useful in forming an adhesive for bonding polyamide or polyester reinforcing elements or cords to rubber compounds or stocks. After dipping the polyamide or polyester cord in the one-step adhesive dip, the coated cord is heated to dry it and heat cure or heat set ...

A device for measuring the potential across two points on the human body, comprising a box-like structure having distinct side walls, one of which includes the screen of a cathode ray tube. On each of first and second adjoining side walls of the box-like structure there are two spaced body-contacting electrodes adapted to be pressed against a human body to measure the potential across the two poin...

1. Catalysts for the hydro treatment of hydrocarbons comprising : a. a refractory mineral oxide support, b. in free or combined form, from 0.5 to 30% by weight and, preferably, from 5 to 25% by weight, related to the total weight of the catalyst, of molybdenum, c. in free or combined form, from 0.5 to 10% by weight and, preferably, from 1 to 8% by weight, related to the total weight of the catalys...

An absorbent pad, particularly for use in sanitary towels, is produced of flocculent material in a suction drum apparatus. The resultant pad provides an integrated shell of flocculent material surrounding an internal superabsorbent layer. A suitable apparatus comprises a suction drum (3) having shaped recesses on its surface. At a first station (5) flocculent material is applied to partially fill ...

A continuously variable multi-focal soft contact lens wherein a continuous optical gradient in a region smaller than the maximum pupil opening is provided. The concave surface is aspheric with a desired optical power for distant viewing at the center which increases to the desired near vision power. The increase is usually about 3 to 5 diopters within 6 mm of the anterior optical zone (AOZ) which ...

PURPOSE:To prevent the effect of double refraction owing to the transparent protecting layer of a disk and furthermore to prevent a back-talk phenomenon to be extend on the luminous flux radiated from a laser light source, by providing a half mirror into the optical path between the light source and an objective, and a 1/4 wavelength plate into the optical path between the light source and a recor...
