An address multiplexer is used to access the desired memory element by multiplexing(splitting) the original address into a row address and a column address, each with exactly half the bits of the original address. Conceptually, this can be viewed as mapping a certain set of bits to two smaller subsets of bits. 2, record 1, English, - address%20multiplexer

The measure concerns public support granted by the UK [United Kingdom] authorities to a research project in the field of aero-engines called Environmentally Friendly Engine(EFE). EFE is a project conceived to contribute to the goals of improved environmental performance of aero-engines set by ACARE1, the industry's technological platform, which has defined the technological paths and objectives until 2020 in its Strategic Research Agenda. In particular, the objectives of ACARE are to reduce emissions of CO2 [carbon dioxide], NOx and noise. The project envisages carrying out industrial research in order to develop technologies that would enable meeting stricter environmental standards and reduce ownership costs. In particular, the project aims at contributing to the following ACARE's goals :-A reduction in perceived noise to a half of current average levels;-A 50% cut in carbon dioxide(CO2) emissions per passenger kilometre(which means a 50% cut in fuel consumption) ;-An 80% cut in nitrogen dioxide(NOx) emissions;-Reduction in the weight of the engine. 3, record 6, English, - environmentally%20friendly%20engine

Record number: 8, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The test equipment consists of a horizontal tunnel 7. 6 m long, 450 mm wide, and 300 mm deep... The roof is removable and lined with a low density material of mineral composition. The walls and floor are constructed of refractory fire brick. One wall has observation windows along its length. Flames from two burners at one end are forced down the tunnel by a steady draught of air at 1. 2 m/s. These burner flames are about 1. 37 m long, release heat at a steady rate of about 90 kW, and impinge directly on the test specimen, which is mounted either on the floor or on the ceiling of the tunnel. This exposure is similar in intensity to what occurs when a small piece of furniture leaning against a wall is set on fire. The tunnel is calibrated by adjusting the rate of heat release of the burners so that it takes about five and a half minutes for flames to reach the exhaust end of the tunnel when the specimen is 18 mm select-grade red oak. In the exhaust duct at the end of the tunnel are a light source and detector for measuring smoke and a thermocouple for determining heat released. 3, record 8, English, - tunnel%20test

Ces flammes, d'environ 1,37 m de long, ont un dégagement de chaleur stable d'environ 90 kW, et touchent directement l'échantillon qui est monté soit sur le plancher ou au plafond du tunnel. Cette exposition est semblable en intensité à ce qui se produit lorsqu'un meuble de petites dimensions appuyé contre un mur est incendié. Le tunnel est étalonné en ajustant la vitesse de dégagement de la chaleur des brûleurs de sorte qu'il faille environ cinq minutes et demie aux flammes pour atteindre l'extrémité 'évent' du tunnel lorsque l'échantillon est en chêne rouge de 18 mm.

Soon you’ll be able to throw out that ancient microwave and cook with a "flashbake" oven using photons, or units of electromagnetic radiation. This oven cooks food just like a conventional oven-cooking from the outside and browning food but in half the time. Appliances are also getting safer.

At the 1932 Madrid Conference, the International Telegraph Union decided to combine the International Telegraph Convention of 1865 and the International Radiotelegraph Convention of 1906 to form the International Telecommunication Convention. It also decided to change its name and was known as from 1 January 1934 as the International Telecommunication Union. 1, record 13, English, - International%20Telecommunication%20Convention

A prop consisting of two telescoping steel cylinders which are extended by hydraulic pressure which may be provided by a hand-operated pump built into the prop. The prop holds about half a gallon of mineral oil and is fitted with a yield valve which relieves the pressure when the load exceeds that for which the prop is set. An hydraulic prop enables quicker setting, uniform initial loading and it can be withdrawn from a remote, safe position. The year 1947 saw the first hydraulic prop in a British coal mine-today there are more than one million in use. 3, record 15, English, - hydraulic%20prop

In operation, a source of energy is needed to break up the oil into small droplets. Therefore, pressure is supplied to the nozzle from the oil pump.... However, pressure energy alone is not enough to do the job. It must be converted to velocity energy. This is accomplished by directing the pressurized fuel through a set of slots. These slots are cut in the distributor at an angle, or tangentially, to produce a high velocity rotation within the swirl chamber.
