  • Dynamic processing time distribution system for use in a time-division multiple access station
    Patent number: 5715246
    Abstract: The invention provides a system for dynamic distribution of processing time during a frame in a station operating in time-division multiple access mode. The system comprises a set of N independent configurable processing resources respectively associated with N time windows in the frame, where N is a predetermined integer greater than 1. The N configurable processing resources can be configured to yield N respective configured processing resources each of which is activated for a respective particular processing operation for which it has been configured. Each of the N previously configured configurable processing resources is activated so that the respective particular processing operations are effected during the frame.

  • Tire with two treads having between treads a reinforcement ring whose load-elongation curve is non-linear
    Patent number: 5645658
    Abstract: In a tire comprising two identical treads (1A) and (1B) reinforced by two own reinforcements (2A) and (2B) and separated by a connecting zone (6) formed of a groove (8) and a ring (7), the ring (7) has a curve representing the circumferential tensile load F as a function of the relative elongation .epsilon. which is non-linear, the ring (7) having for small relative elongations a circumferential tensile rigidity less than for larger relative elongations.
