Abstract: Preceding to the reading out of the recording information of the optical disk by the pick-up, the height of the foreign material existing at the light converging position on the information reading surface is detected by the detector, and when the height of the foreign material is higher than the floating height h of the SIL, the magnetic field is generated by applying the control current corresponding to the height of the foreign material to the coil as the magnetic field generator at the timing before the foreign material is moved to the information reading position of the pick-up by the rotation of the optical disk. Then, when the magnetic field is provided to the magnetic substance fixedly holding the SIL which is floating, the movement operation to separate the SIL to the higher position than the height of the foreign material from the information reading surface together with the magnetic substance, is conducted. <IMAGE>

The femoral body has a femoral alignment member (28), and the meniscal body has a femoral side (42). Extending from the femoral side are at least two guiding protrusions (44) that extend along the longitudinal axis of the meniscal body and define at least two sides of an alignment groove (46). The alignment groove slippingly receives the femoral alignment member. The femoral alignment is able to move within the alignment groove and slip over the alignment groove when a force of sufficient magnitude is applied to the prosthetic and revert into the alignment groove. In another embodiment of the present invention, the groove and the alignment components are reversed on the respective femoral and meniscal bodies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention preferably employs non-contact, small-displacement, capacitive sensors to determine Abbe errors due to the pitch, yaw, or roll of a near linear mechanical stage that are not indicated by an on-axis position indicator, such as a linear scale encoder or laser interferometer. The system is calibrated against a precise reference standard so the corrections depend only on sensing small changes in the sensor readings and not on absolute accuracy of the sensor readings. Although the present invention is preferred for use in split-axis positioning systems with inertially separated stages, the invention can be employed in typical split-axis or stacked stage systems to reduce their manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A device including a cover and a shaft inserted in the thickness of the front portion of the sole, and constituting a journalled system, adapted to ensure control of the flexural rigidity of a shoe, in particular a snowboard boot, or adapted to ensure the protection of the front surface of the shoe, partially or in its entirety. All of the elements forming the system can be removable. The journal which it determines provides the cover with a front-to-rear mobility which is presented, in closed position, against the front surface of the shoe. Connected to the latter by a retaining mechanism specific to the shoe, the cover offers, due to the properties and the shaping of its constituent materials, a resistance to the crushing and flexural and torsional deformation of the shoe in its front portion during use.

Abstract: A modified Colorstripe™ copy protection process utilizes a basic anti-copy protection (ACP) signal that causes attenuation of a video signal, wherein, in one embodiment, the process modifies (lowers) the level of a front porch portion and adds an incorrect color signal (color burst) in the region of the sync tip. When an illegal copy is made, a pre-blanked end of line portion causes a TV set to trigger the color burst sample pulse ahead of time and cause the incorrect color signal in the sync tip region to be sampled. Thus, since the sync tip region has incorrect color phase or frequency, the resulting illegal copy will have enhanced color distortions. In other embodiments, other portions of the horizontal blanking interval are lowered in level and incorrect color bursts are added to a portion or portions of the back porch and/or a portion of the front porch. A further embodiment employs lowering a back porch portion above a sync tip level near the beginning of a video line to form a pseudo sync/AGC pulse pair. The various embodiments of the process may include an adaptable process, as well as several alternative ACP signals for use in combination with the process.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a metal strip for epitaxial coating with a biaxially textured layer, this metal strip, however, being able to be produced in an uncomplicated manner and having a high tensile strength, low magnetic losses and/or a high electrical conductivity. According to the invention, the metal strip is comprised of Nj, Cu, Ag or alloys thereof all serving as basic material, whereby the one-layer metal strip and, in the instance of a multilayer metal strip, at least one of its layers contains 10 nm to 5 mum large, strength-increasing dispersoids comprised of carbides, borides, oxides and/or nitrides with a volume proportion ranging from 0.1 to 5%. In the instance of a multilayer metal strip, the layers form a composite, and at least one of the layers does not contain any dispersoids and has a biaxial texture. For the production, a starting material is used, which is comprised of Ni, Cu, Ag or of alloys thereof all serving as basic material and which contains 0.2 to 5 atom percent of an additive comprised of oxidizable, nitridable, boridable and/or carbidable elements. A one-layer or a multilayer strip is produced from this starting material by means of deforming methods, whereby for producing the multilayer metal strip, a basic material that does not contain the aforementioned additive is used as one of its layers. Afterwards, the strip is subjected to a recrystallization annealing in order to form a cubical texture. Finally, the strip is subjected to an annealing under an oxygen, nitrogen, boron or carbon partial pressure, which is greater than the equilibrium partial pressure of oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides of the additive elements contained in the alloy, but is less than the equilibrium partial pressure of oxides, nitrides, borides and carbides of the basic elements Ni, Cu and Ag of the strip alloy.
