  • Device for configuring a programmable component, system incorporating said device, and related method
    Patent number: 9015466
    Abstract: This device includes a programmable component having an output able to send an inhibiting signal upon successful configuration of the programmable component and an input able to receive a reconfiguration signal; an automatic burn-in circuit for the configuration of the programmable component, having: selection means which, in a first state, connect the programmable component to a first configuration memory space and, in a second state, connect the programmable component to a second configuration memory space; and watchdog means having an input able to receive the inhibition signal and an output for sending, when no inhibition signal has been received for a predetermined period of time, a configuration signal intended for the programmable component to command the reconfiguration thereof and of the selection means to modify the state thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Surface treatment process for steels and article
    Patent number: 4015950
    Abstract: A process for treating a steel surface, comprising the steps of immersing the surface in a bath of molten tin at a temperature and for a period of time suitable to cause a layer of tin containing diffused iron to adhere to the surface and, after removal of the surface from the bath, removing a surface layer in which iron and tin accord substantially with the formula of Fe Sn.sub.2 so as to expose a layer in which iron and tin accord substantially to the formula Fe Sn.
