The present invention relates to a method for recording a binary word (BW) by means of electrically erasable and programmable type memory cells (Ci,j) organized in word lines (Wli), in which there are provided at least two word lines (WLi, XWLi) that can be erased or programmed independently of each other, the binary word is recorded in one of said word lines (XWLi) and, simultaneously, the other word line (XWLi) is erased. The invention is applied to the making of a memory system (10), a binary counter and an abacus counter that are secured.
摘要:
An authentication method for a wired-logic microcircuit mounted on a support and a microcircuit reading terminal. The microcircuit is provided with a memory which has data readable by the terminal. A secret code of the microcircuit is arranged in a region of the memory that is not readable by the terminal. The microcircuit generates an authentication code from the data in the memory that is readable by the terminal, the secret code and a random code. The terminal generates an authentication code from the data in the microcircuit memory that is readable by the terminal, a secret code provided to the terminal by a microcircuit user and random code, and the authentication code generated by the microcircuit is compared with the authentication code generated by the terminal.

A logic machine and a circuit for producing an authentication code for authenticating smart cards which include a cycle of steps wherein a bit word is read out of a secret memory with a plurality of bit words, and words read out during previous cycles are combined. The result of the combination is used as a generator word for generating the address of the word to be read out in the next cycle.

To reduce the risks of erroneous data writing into an electrically erasable and programmable non-volatile memory (10) (EEPROM) when a failure in the memory (10) voltage supply (Vcc) occurs during a programming or erasing operation, the memory (10) comprising means (30) of generating programming or erasing high voltage (Vpp), means (SW.sub.i, TI.sub.i,) are provided for maintaining the high voltage (Vpp) supply to the cells (C.sub.i,j) of the memory and capacity (Chv, CR.sub.2) of sufficient power to maintain the high voltage (Vpp) during the time required for the programming or erasing operation. The invention is useful particularly for EEPROM memories mounted on chip cards and electronic labels.

摘要:
In a memory cell of an EEPROM or flash-EEPROM memory, the source and the drain of a floating-gate transistor forming the non-volatile memorizing device are connected together. It is shown that the capacitive behavior of the cell is then differentiated at the time of the reading depending on whether it is in a programmed state or in an erased state. This difference in behavior is used to differentiate the logic states.

摘要:
The invention is a dry surface skiing apparatus including a leading self-steering swivel caster and trailing non self-steering swivel caster. It offers major safety improvements compared to the existing prior art. Its operation closer resembles modern carving ski and eliminates problems such as swivel caster flutter and undesirable drift effect with rotary turns. It also adds the ability to brake. Elimination of flutter is achieved by application of non self-steering trailing swivel caster which is cross connected to the leading self-steering swivel casters by a steering system. The ground friction of the wheel in the trailing swivel caster dampens the flutter. At the same time since the rear wheel turns in the opposite way to the front wheel, a carved turn is achieved in a similar manner to flexing a carving ski along its entire length. In order to facilitate braking wing like members are attached to the outer edge of each ski which allow transmitting friction of ski pole tips to the ski platform.
