Abstract: The invention relates to the use of at least predominantly linear hydrocarbon compounds olefinically unsaturated in the alpha-position with flashpoints of at least about 80.degree. as the oil phase or as part of the oil phase of oil- or water-based free-flowing borehole servicing preparations. Particular significance is attributed to corresponding drilling fluids which, together with the alpha-olefins, contain other oil phases from the field of borehole servicing preparations and are distinguished by ecological compatibility, being degradable under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Suitable mixture components for the oil phase are, in particular, oleophilic alcohols, ethers and corresponding esters selected from carboxylic acid esters and/or carbonic acid esters.

Abstract: For real-time testing, two test combinations TK1 and TK2 are written to the input trigger circuits (EK1 to EK2) of the logic circuit (LS1) to be tested and to the output trigger circuits (AP1 to AP2) of the upstream test device (TE) or of an upstream logic circuit (LSO). The second test combination TK2 is transferred with the first system test pulse to the input trigger circuits (EK1 to EK3), and with the second test pulse the associated output combination (AT2) is transferred into the output trigger circuits (AK1 to AK2). This output combination is subsequently transferred into the test device (E) and checked. An integrated circuit suitable for carrying out the process has trigger circuits with two clock inputs.
