  • Patent number: 8250436
    Abstract: A memory arrangement comprises a first memory module and a second memory module. An item of information to be written to the memory arrangement is written with a first address both to the first memory module and to the second memory module. When reading, the item of information is read either from the first memory module by means of the first address or from the second memory module by means of a second address differing from the first address. Subsequently a check is made as to whether the item of information is defective. If this is the case, the item of information is read from the respective other memory module.

  • Publication number: 20070255999
    Abstract: A method of error correction for a memory arrangement includes dividing information to be written to the memory arrangement into n data blocks of m bits each, writing the n data blocks to at least one memory module of the memory arrangement, determining a redundant data block based on the n data blocks, writing the redundant data block to a further memory module of the memory arrangement, reading the n data blocks, and checking for errors in the read n data blocks including detecting a faulty data block in the read n data blocks. If an error is detected, the method includes reading the redundant information in advance from the at least one further memory module and determining all bits of the faulty data block from the n data blocks and the redundant data block.

  • Patent number: 4510932
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for supplying divers with artificial respiratory gas mixtures with a counterlung, which can be fixed to a diver, which is hung on gimbals, which is adjusted independently of the particular floating position of the diver and which collects his exhaled gas. For the construction of a completely closed respiratory gas circuit system, it is constructed as a single-chamber container with a bottom opening and which uses the ambient water as the sealing fluid. The container is provided with a gas outlet connection arranged above the liquid level in the inner area of the container, which can be closed by means of a shutoff device controlled by the rising liquid level and which is connected by means of a waste gas hose line with the surface of the water or the inner area of a diving chamber or bell.
