Abstract: A modulation current at a predetermined frequency f is applied from
an AC source to a flux locked loop for maintaining magnetic flux supplied
to a SQUID (10) at a constant value. An output voltage is picked out from
the SQUID (10) in this state to which a predetermined bias current is being
applied from a current and field bias application circuit (11), and the picked
out voltage passed through a filter (13) and a rectifier (14) is monitored by
a voltage monitor (15). The filter (13) picks out a frequency component of
80 kHz which is twice as high as the frequency component f, 40 kHz,
applied from the AC source, and maximizes it. In this way, a method and
a device for easily adjusting magnetic field bias in a modulation drive
circuit for a SQUID can be provided.

Abstract: An integrated policy implementation service for a
communication network where user authentication is integrated
with QoS provisioning. The service includes an data
communication switch connected to one or more policy servers.
The switch transmits requests for user and device information
to the end devices connected to the network. The devices
respond by transmitting responses including the user and device
information to the switch. The switch transmits the user and
device information to the one or more policy servers for user
authentication and QoS provisioning. The one or more policy
servers respond by transmitting authentication information and
QoS information to the switch. The switch uses the
authentication information to determine whether to enable a
network interface used by the user to communicate with the
network. To the extent a determination is made to enable the
network interface, the switch uses the received QoS information
to establish a QoS on the switch. The QoS is then applied to
the traffic received from the device used by the user to
communicate with the network.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for converting purchaser check-based
bill payments with which the majority of consumers are most comfortable, into a
stream of payments with efficiency equal to online presentment and payment methods.
A paper-based consolidated billing and payment form is created by an issuing financial
institution or exchange by way of direct billet downloads, and the form is transmitted to
the purchaser. The consolidated billing/payment form contains essential billing data for
recurrent purchaser expenditures, is bar coded or otherwise electronically identified,
and is filled out by purchasers by confirming or modifying payment amounts, timing, and
source of funds directly on the paper form. Space is provided for additional entries, and
a variety of supplemental financial data forms may be generated. The consolidated
billing and payment form is then returned to the issuing financial institution or payment
exchange for image processing and payment execution, converting payments into
electronic form, and enabling the elimination of paper checks for purchaser bill
payments.

control the flow of hair across the shaving device and thereby
control the angle at which the blade edges or abrasion elements
contact the hair. 
     Another aspect of the present invention comprises blades
having cutting depth which are much smaller than previously known
shaving devices. For example, the cutting depth of one or more
blades is not greater than about 75 microns, or is even less. 
     Shaving devices are formed on rigid or flexible substrates

or on an as needed basis according to periodic checks of the print queue. In this manner,
printing data via a wireless communication unit is conveniently and reliably provided.
