Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of composite digital works. A digital work is comprised of a description part (700) and a content part. The description part contains control information for the composite digital work. The content part stores the actual digital data comprising the composite digital work. The description part (700) is logically organized in an acyclic structure, e.g. a tree structure. For a composite digital work each node of the acyclic structure represents an individual digital work or some distribution interest in the composite digital work. A node in the acyclic structure is comprised of an identifier (701) of the individual work, usage rights (704) for the individual digital work and a pointer (705,706) to the digital work. Composite digital works are stored in repositories. A repository has two primary operating modes, a server mode and a requester mode. When operating in a server mode, the repository is responding to requests to access digital works. When operating in requester mode, the repository is requesting access to a digital work. A repository will process each request to access a composite digital work by examining the usage rights for each individual digital work found in the description part of the composite digital work.

Abstract: A friction modifier for combustible fuels is provided that is prepared by
combining a saturated carboxylic acid and an alkoxylated amine or etheramine.
Furthermore, there also is an additive concentrate for use in fuels, especially in gasoline
for internal combustion engines, comprising (a) a friction modifier comprising of a
branched saturated carboxylic acid salt of an alkoxylated amine, such as
isohexyloxypropylamine isostearate; (b) a detergent package, as well as the combustible
fuels containing this additive concentrate. The particular selection of friction modifier (a)
enables a stable additive concentrate to be formulated providing a significant benefit in
friction loss when incorporated in gasoline used to fuel an internal combustion engine,
and hence an improvement in fuel economy. Moreover, the use of the friction modifier
(a) in combination with a detergent package permits increased fuel efficiency to be
obtained without increasing the incidence of IVD deposits in combustion engines running
on a fuel modified with the additive concentrate.

Abstract: An electrosurgical system comprises a generator and an instrument
including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulating spacer separating the
first and second electrodes. The generator repeatedly measures a characteristic of the
radio frequency output such as the impedance between the first and second electrodes.
The generator analyses the impedance measurements, and interrupts the radio
frequency signal when the rate of change of the impedance is such as to indicate the
onset of a "flare-out". In this way, the power is reduced before the flare-out leads to
permanent damage or failure of the instrument.
