Abstract: An integrated memory has addressable memory cells combined into groups of column lines and row lines. The addresses of the memory cells each include a first address part addressing the respective groups of column lines and row lines. In a method for checking operation, the memory cells are successively tested in the intersection of two groups to ensure that there are no faults. Memory cells in another group are then tested. If a match between compared first address parts of faulty memory cells exists, the address of at least one of the faulty memory cells is processed further for evaluation purposes, and the addresses of other faulty memory cells are not processed further. This permits extensive compaction of addresses of faulty memory cells.

Abstract: A read-write mode control method is described in which a waiting time during a reading process can be shortened by conducting a read instruction with auto-precharging in a first circuit part. The first circuit part is separate from a second circuit part used for conducting the write instruction, since a memory controller does not need to insert any wait cycles between a write instruction and an associated activate signal.

Abstract: The circuit compensates for phase error in the case of fractional-N-based PLL frequency synthesizers. All required actuating and reference signals are derived from the VCO frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator by using an auxiliary phase-locked loop. The circuit is specifically applicable for HF-PLL frequency synthesizers using integrated circuit technology.

Abstract: A magnetic memory of the random access type (MRAM) contains a memory cell array formed of a multiplicity of memory cells. The memory cells are disposed in the form of a matrix at the points of intersection of word lines and sense lines and the logical data contents of which are defined by a magnetic state. The magnetic memory further contains an addressing circuit allocated to the word lines. The address circuit applies a read voltage to the word line of one or more selected memory cells, the data contents of which are to be read out. An evaluation circuit is provided that is allocated to the sense lines and receives and evaluates a sense signal corresponding to the data contents of the selected memory cell or memory cells. The evaluation circuit has a comparator circuit receiving a reference signal supplied by a reference element that is compared with the sense signal of the memory cell or memory cells to be read out.

Abstract: A method is described, by which sets of values representing various parameters can be allocated to addresses, at which addresses data pertaining to the various value sets can be stored in memory. The method described is characterized in that the allocated addresses are each formed by a concatenation of address components representing the individual values of a given set of values, and the scope of the various address components and/or the order of the various address components in their concatenation can be varied individually as a function of configuration parameters that have an influence on the ranges of values of the parameters.

Abstract: A belt drive for a machine for processing flat printing materials includes an endless belt revolving during operation, a roller about which the belt is partially looped, a frame with respect to which the roller is adjustable between a working position, wherein the roller keeps the belt tensioned, and a position moved away from the working position, wherein the belt is untensioned, and a spring device for biasing the roller into the working position thereof. Also included are a double crank by which the roller is articulated with the frame, and a stop which, due to a change in position of the double crank from a position corresponding to the working position of the roller into a position corresponding to the moved-away position of the roller, is carried out to a given extent beyond a dead-center position of the double crank, prevents a change in position beyond the given extent; and a machine for processing flat printing materials, which includes the belt drive.

Abstract: Setting parameters of a PID controller are obtained by feeding a step signal or another input signal to an assigned controlled system. The response signal emitted by the controlled system is sampled and the characteristics of the Bode diagram are generated from the input signal and the response signal by using a smoothing method and elementary correspondences. The characteristics are normalized and input values are derived therefrom for a neural network which is trained on the properties of the controlled systems. The neural network directly generates the setting parameters for the controller.
