Abstract: A hinge structure for pivotally mounting a first telecommunications element to a second telecommunications element includes a hinge pin provided on the first element and a hinge pin receiver provided on the second element. The hinge pin defines a notch separating the pin into two pin halves. The hinge pin receiver defines two sets of opposing surfaces, the two sets separated by a divider, the divider configured to be accommodated by the notch when the hinge pin is inserted into the hinge pin receiver, wherein each opposing surface set defines a slot for receiving each pin half.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are memory devices comprising a plurality of memory cells to which a standby voltage is to be supplied during standby mode to avoid loss of data, and methods of operating said memory devices, the methods comprising: (a) determining an actual value of a bit integrity parameter of the memory cells; (b) comparing said actual value with a predetermined minimal value of the bit integrity parameter which takes into account possible variations in cell properties as a result of process variations; and (c) adjusting the standby voltage towards a more optimal value based on the result of the comparison in such a way that said bit integrity parameter determined for said more optimal value of the standby voltage approaches the predetermined minimal value. The circuitry for measuring the bit integrity parameter preferably comprises a plurality of replica test cells which are added to the memory matrix.
