Abstract: Decoding of BCH multiple error correction code codewords with .alpha. as a primitive element of the finite field GF (2.sup.m) is accomplished by generating syndrome subvectors S.sub.1 from all column m-tuple .alpha..sup.k positions and syndrome subvectors S.sub.2 from all column m-tuple .alpha..sup.3K positions, generating a permutation of syndrome subvector S.sub.1 for each bit position on the codeword and then selecting those bit positions K where S.sub.1.sup.3 +S.sub.2 +QK=0 as the bit or bits in error.

Abstract: Herbicidal compositions containing a compound of the formula I ##STR1## in which R is H, alkyl or a cation equivalent of a base, in combination with a compound of the formula II ##STR2## in which R is as defined above, have a selective synergistic herbicidal effect against weed grasses in dicotyledonous crop plants.

Abstract: Liquid, herbicidal compositions containing Linuron as active substance in the form of emulsifiable concentrates or of aqueous suspension concentrates contain as crystallization inhibiting substance 0.05 to 2% by weight of fat-soluble disazo dyes which prevent the active substance from crystallizing in the aqueous emulsions of the emulsifiable concentrates and in the aqueous suspension concentrates and the aqueous dilutions thereof.

Abstract: For equalizing the signal delay times of semiconductor chips a digital control circuit is provided on each chip. By altering the supply voltage, the digital control circuit influences the signal delay times.The digital control circuit comprises a comparator circuit where the signal delay of a clock pulse is compared in a chain of inverters with the very precisely defined clock interval. Depending on the result of the comparison, the count of an up-down counter is incremented or decremented by one. The resulting count is decoded and converted into a corresponding voltage for operating the circuits of the semiconductor chip. Subsequently, the above described steps are repeated until the difference .DELTA.t between the arrival of a clock pulse delayed by the chain, and the following undelayed clock pulse approaches zero.

Abstract: Compositions containing (I) chlorophenoxy-phenoxy-.alpha.-propionic acid (esters) and (II) 3-methoxy-carbonylaminophenyl-N-(3'-methylphenyl)-carbamate as active ingredients are used as synergistic herbicides against grassy and broad-leaf weeds.
