Title: Enforcement architecture and method for digital rights management
Inventor: PEINADO MARCUS
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2000-02-25
Abstract: An enforcement architecture and method for implementing digital rights management are disclosed. Digital content is distributed from a content server to a computing device of a user and received, and an attempt is made to render the digital content by way of a rendering application. The rendering application invokes a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system, and such DRM system determines whether a right to render the digital content in the manner sought exists based on any digital license stored in the computing device and corresponding to the digital content. If the right does not exist, a digital license that provides such right and that corresponds to the digital content is requested from a license server, and the license server issues the digital license to the DRM system. The computing device receives the issued digital license and stores the received digital license thereon.

Abstract: A displacement control apparatus controls the
displacement of a variable displacement compressor (CP). A
drive shaft (16) of the compressor (CP) is driven by an
engine (25). Torque (Tr) acting on the drive shaft (16)
represents the displacement. The apparatus includes a
control valve (32), an air conditioner controller (80) and
a compressor controller (77). The control valve (32)
changes the compressor displacement. The air conditioner
controller (80) produces a torque setting signal, which
represents a target torque (Tr set ), to the compressor
controller (77). The compressor controller (77) changes
the valve opening based on the torque setting signal such
that the actual load torque (Tr) matches the target torque
value (Tr set ). Accordingly, the compressor (CP) is
controlled according to the torque. The air conditioner
controller (80) may send the torque setting signal to an
engine controller (90), which eliminates the need for load
torque maps.

Abstract: A tuned filter for connection to a busbar in a high voltage electric power
system. The filter incorporates a variable inductor (2); the variable inductor
(2) comprising a main winding (4), auxiliary windings (6-12) and switching
means (14-20) associated with each auxiliary winding (6-12). The auxiliary
windings are arranged to act in inductive series with respect to the main
winding, and the switching means (14-20) are used to selectively connect the
auxiliary windings in electrical series with the main winding, so allowing
the inductance of the inductor to be varied. To achieve enhanced variability
of the inductance (2), each auxiliary winding (6-12) has a number of turns
substantially equal to  x2 (n-1)   , where  n  is a positive integer corresponding to
the position of each auxiliary winding in the inductive series (6-12) of
auxiliary windings and  x  is also a positive integer. The switching means
(14-20) are preferably constituted such that each auxiliary winding (6-12) is
selectively connectable to the main winding (4) in any one of three
connection modes, comprising a first connection mode in which the
auxiliary winding assists the inductance of the main winding, a second
connection mode in which the auxiliary winding opposes the inductance of
the main winding and a third connection mode in which the auxiliary
winding is bypassed with respect to the main winding.

Title: Method and system for determining a source-T0-image distance in a digital imaging system
Inventor: POLKUS VINCENT STANLEY
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: A method is provided for determining source-to-image distance (SID) set-points
in a digital imaging system. SID set-points are determined during a
setup and calibration procedure which includes generating radiation beams
while varying certain system parameters, such as the radiation source
position, and detecting and determining the size of the radiation beams that
impact on the digital detector. SID values and a separation gain constant can
then be determined based on the calculated sizes of the detected radiation
beams and the feedback signals which are representative of the various
system parameters that were varied (e.g., source position, etc.) during the
setup and calibration procedure. The separation gain constant and the
calculated, empirical SID values can then be used to position the radiation
source at any user-selected SID based on position sensor feedback signals.
The procedure also provides for a calibrated readout of the SID, which can be
displayed to a user of the imaging system.
