  • Patent number: 4654823
    Abstract: A read/write memory cell comprises a first switch having one input which constitutes the data input-output of the cell and another input connected to a loop circuit comprises a first inverter, a second inverter and a second switch. The first and second switches are controlled in such a way that on a write operation the first is closed and the second open. In the absence of any write or read operation the first switch is open and the second switch is closed. On a read operation both switches are closed. A read/write memory of N words each of P bits is obtained by associating N.times.P cells of this kind in a matrix comprising N rows and P columns.

  • Patent number: 4628447
    Abstract: A decentralized arbitrator includes an individual elementary arbitrator and a level elementary arbitrator for each arbitration unit. Determination of the priority due to one unit, when no other unit claims priority, is accelerated by directing the request states of all units on the same level and on all other levels to the input of an AND gate, the output of which is connected to the bus-utilization enablement input of the relevant unit, through an OR gate and a D flip-flop.

  • Patent number: 4511959
    Abstract: The decentralized arbitration device of the invention comprises an arbitration unit associated with each processing unit. This arbitration unit comprises an individual elementary arbitrator and a level elementary arbitrator. Their outputs are connected to a comparator which compares their output signals with the code of the unit considered, which code is supplied by a coding identification circuit. The individual priority request terminals of the units in the same level are connected together and the level priority request terminals of all the units are connected together.

  • Patent number: 4488007
    Abstract: The telephone station has a first attenuator inserted in a transmission channel, and a second attenuator inserted in a reception channel. Each attenuator has a variable impedance mounted in shunt on the corresponding channel. A circuit controls the attenuators as a function of the relative levels of signals collected respectively from the transmission and reception channels. A bridge circuit introduces a difference between the levels of the signals collected respectively from the two channels. The bridge circuit includes a resistor bridge formed by two fixed resistors inserted in each channel upstream of the attenuator which is associated with said channel, and by a variable impedance which constitutes the attenuator. The common node of the two fixed resistors is the point of collection of the signal from each channel.
