Patent EP-1041758-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ROLLINS WILLIAM
IPC: H04H20/67
Filed: 2000-03-14
Abstract: A system for aligning the phase characteristics of N identical digitized audio
program signals distributed from a studio to N broadcasting stations via N time division
multiplex (TDM) communication signals includes N TDM multiplexers, each of which (i)
multiplexes a digitized audio program signal into at least one channel of a TDM
communication link established between the studio and one of the N broadcasting stations,
and (ii) multiplexes a timing signal into another channel of the TDM communication signal.
A TDM de-multiplexer at each of the broadcasting stations extracts the digitized audio
program signal and the timing signal from the corresponding TDM communication signal.
A timing signal comparator compares the extracted timing signal to a local timing signal that
is delayed by a precise and adjustable amount, and produces an offset time corresponding to
the comparison result. The delay adjust circuit dynamically adjusts the delay of the TDM
signal as a function of the offset time, preferably so as to drive the offset time to substantially
zero. The timing signal at the studio and the timing signals at each of the broadcast stations
are provided by an existing time distribution network.

IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2000-07-05
Abstract: When the total number of copies of requested content does not exceed its upper limit value, and when bilateral authentication with a partner to be communicated is successful, encrypted content (Kc[C]) and information (KT1[Kc]) used for decrypting the encrypted contents, which are encrypted using first shared information (KT1) generated by bilateral authentication, are transferred to the partner, thus updating the total number of copies of the transferred content. First data, used to erase information (KT1, Kc, C) that is recorded on the recording medium and is used for decrypting content which is recorded on the recording medium and is requested to erase, is encrypted using second shared information (KT3) generated by bilateral authentication, and the encrypted first data is transferred to the partner. When second data, which is encrypted using third shared information (KT4) generated by another bilateral authentication and is used in rewrite in the partner, is transferred from the partner, the transferred second data is decrypted using the third shared information, and the decrypted second data is compared with the first data (r1) to confirm if the information used for decrypting the content recorded on the recording medium has been erased, thus updating the total number of copies of content which is requested to erase.

Abstract: A hybrid parabolic reflector phased array antenna system which is
stowable in a space vehicle and is deployable in space. The antenna
includes a large torus which acts as a support structure for a plurality of
small reflector cells called super elements, each including its own reflector
and an array of feed elements. The torus supports a stretched reflector
mesh and matching back-up catanary wires that provide a mechanism for
pulling the reflector surface of the cells down to an exact paraboloid. A set
of rigid corner posts for stretching the mesh fabric for forming multiple
reflectors is also provided. The torus is also used to support individual
super element feed arrays for each reflector. The super elements
incrementally scan the beam by group selection of feed elements in each
feed array with time delay phase control being used to steer the array
factor so as to achieve fine steering. Each of the super elements scans
incrementally with a selected group of feed elements varying between seven
and twelve, which are varied in position relative to the focal axis of the feed
array. The groups of feed elements of the feed arrays are also controlled so
as to mitigate any undesired grating lobe problem.

Abstract: Rapid prototyping and manufacturing (e.g. stereolithography) methods and
apparatus are disclosed that form objects with enhanced accuracy and small feature
retention. Techniques for offsetting cross-sectional boundary data to at least partially
accommodate for solidification width induced in a medium by a beam of radiation are
provided. One technique (Fig. 2) uses repeated small offsets (116) to yield an effective
offset of a desired amount. A second technique uses displacement vectors to determine
where and to what extent to offset the boundary segments. The offset amount (114) for
each vertex is determined based on a combination of the (1) the vertex angle (), and (2)
a predefined variable offset criteria which is different for at least two predefined ranges of
angles (). A third technique converts a single boundary segment into a plurality of offset
boundary segments when the single boundary segment cannot undergo the full desired
offset without violating another offsetting rule.
