	%X Two constructions of unit-memory binary convolutional
codes from linear block codes over the finite semi-local ring F2r +vF2r , where v2 = v, are presented. In both cases, if the linear block code is systematic, then the resulting convolutional encoder
is systematic, minimal, basic and non-catastrophic. The Hamming
free distance of the convolutional code is bounded below by the
minimum Hamming distance of the block code. New examples of
binary convolutional codes that meet the Heller upper bound for
systematic codes are given.
