Abstract:
An integrated memory with a configuration of non-volatile memory cells based on ferromagnetic storage contains both powerful memory cells with a magnetoresistive effect with a transistor control and cost-effective memory cells with a magnetoresistive effect with memory elements connected between the word lines and bit lines. The memory elements connected directly between the bit line and the word line are preferably inserted in memory cell arrays that can be stacked one above the other above the memory cells with the transistor, and thereby achieve a high integration density. The fact that the memory, which contains both types and thereby satisfies all the system requirements, is fabricated in one module and in one process sequence considerably lowers the fabrication costs.

The present invention relates to a compound of the general formula (I), wherein R1 together with the C atom to which it is attached, and R2 together with the N atom to which it is attached, form a piperidinyl ring; X represents a bond, oxygen or —NR12—; and Y represents oxygen; pharmaceutical compositions containing such a compound, as well as the use of such a compound for the production of pharmaceutical compositions, and for the treatment of inflammatory, auto-immune and immune diseases.
Abstract:
The data memory has a plurality of banks, each with a multiplicity of memory cells that form a matrix of rows and columns with respectively assigned matrix row lines and column lines. The banks are arranged spatially one on top of the other as stacks, with the stack edges that are parallel to the matrix rows and at which the ends of the column lines that are connected to a respective column-driving device are located, lie in a common plane. The common plane extends in the direction of the matrix rows and is substantially orthogonal with respect to the direction of the columns. The column-driving devices of all the banks are arranged directly adjacent to one another as a block in the direction of the columns, on or near the same edge of the bank stack. The banks preferably contain memory cells which can be read out without damage, and in each case a plurality of column lines are each assigned to one common sense amplifier in the column-driving device of each bank.
Abstract:
A current driver configuration for MRAMs includes word-line drivers and bit-line drivers at respective first ends of word lines and bit lines. The word line drivers and the bit line drivers each include a series circuit formed by an n-channel field-effect transistor and a current source. Further series circuits are provided at the respective second ends of the word lines and the bit lines. Each of the further series circuits includes a second n-channel field-effect transistor and a voltage source.
Abstract:
An arrangement (1) for electrothermally treating the human body or an animal body, in particular for tissue coagulation or electrotomy, includes two electrodes (3, 4) for insertion into the body to be treated. The two electrodes (3, 4) are electrically insulated from each other and are disposed at a distance from each other to produce an electric or electromagnetic field heating the body tissue in the treatment area, and each electrode is connected by a feed line with a power source arranged outside the body. An elongate catheter (2) is provided for joint insertion of the two electrodes (3, 4) into the body, which are staggered in relation to each other in the axial direction of the catheter (2) and connected to the catheter (2) or a component thereof.
Abstract:
Sound energy of a proximally arranged sound source 30 and laser radiation of a therapeutic laser 17 are simultaneously transmitted with an endoscopic instrument via flexible waveguides 3 into the body interior. The sound energy is in a power and frequency range adequate for the cutting tissue 16 and the therapeutic laser 7 operates preferably in the near infrared. The waveguides are quartz glass fibers 3 which can transmit sound energy as well as also light energy.
Abstract:
A process for guiding an instrument in space, in which the instrument is arranged at the free end of an articulated arm whose arm sections are caused to pivot and/or travel with respect to each other by drive units. The instrument is caused to travel in a limited movement region under the control of a control device. For predetermination of the movement region for points that are situated in the movement region, a respective pivot angle and/or travel position between the respective arm sections is set. The respective position and attitude of the instrument is sensed by at least a first measuring device. For hand-controlled guiding of the instrument, an actuating force exerted on the instrument and/or the articulated arm is sensed by a second measuring device. The arm sections are mutually pivoted and/or moved in dependence on the actuating force, the position of the instrument, and the predetermined movement region, such that the instrument moves within the predetermined movement region substantially in the direction of the actuating force.
Abstract:
In a method for monitoring the supply system (10) of a gas turbine having a multiburner system, said supply system (10) comprising at least one distribution system (15, 24), via which a pressurized medium required for operating the multiburner system is distributed to a plurality of individual burners (12, . . . , 14) opening into a combustion chamber, reliable detection and analysis of faults is achieved in that, while the gas turbine is operating, the pressure loss in the at least one distribution system (15, 24) is measured continuously, in that the measured pressure loss is compared with a desired value characteristic of the respective operating state of the gas turbine, and in that a communication is issued when the measured pressure loss deviates from the associated desired value by a predetermined value.
