Abstract: An improved insulating block that offers great structural strength by having an interconnected block material structure with cavities filled with insulating material. The paths from the front face to the back face of the block through the block material are adapted to ensure an improved thermal insulation of the block, while providing a high load bearing capacity and allowing continuation of longitudinal reinforcement. This results in a block that can be easily manipulated and handled. Furthermore, the invention provides a method of manufacturing and a use of said blocks, and a wall or structure of said blocks.

Abstract: A synchronizing circuit to synchronize a digital input signal (DIN) with a clock signal (CK1) includes a detection circuit (DC) which checks if a present (SA) sample of a clock signal (CK3) being synchronized with the digital input signal, is equal to the previous (SB) sample, both samples being taken at an interval equal to the period (T) of the clock signal synchronized with the output signal. When the samples differ, the detection circuit generates a phase adjustment signal (CLR), which triggers a phase adjustment circuit (PAC) to ensure a return to synchronism by phase shifting the signal (ES) controlling the sampling of the digital input signal.
