Abstract: A mobile communications system for a passenger carrying vessel includes repeaters for relaying radio frequency signals to mobile telephone on the vessel from communications networks in geographically separated locations. Each repeater is controlled to operate at different required gains to maintain signal levels for the telephones at a suitable level, as the passenger carrying vessel moves from one location to another location through the middle region. A computer is programmed to alter the gains of the repeaters according to respective signal strengths of received signals and to determine and control a hand-over at some position according to the signal strengths, when the vessel is within the middle region. The hand-over, and in some cases the gains, may be determined or influenced by the computer in accordance with GPS signals received by the vessel. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, digital content is mastered as a combination of encrypted data and data processing operations that enable use in approved playback environments. Player devices having a processing environment compatible with the content's data processing operations are able to decrypt and play the content. Players can also provide content with basic functions, such as loading data from media, performing network communications, determining playback environment configuration, controlling decryption/playback, and/or performing cryptographic operations using the player's keys. These functions allow the content to implement and enforce its own security policies. If pirates compromise individual players or content titles, new content can be mastered with new security features that block the old attacks. A selective decryption capability can also be provided, enabling on-the-fly watermark insertion so that attacks can be traced back to a particular player. Features to enable migration from legacy formats are also provided.

Abstract: The movable part 21 is fastened to the substrate 11 via flexure parts 27 a and 27 b, and can move upward and downward with respect to the substrate 11. The substrate 11 also serves as a fixed electrode. The movable part 21 has second electrode parts 23 a and 23 b which can generate an electrostatic force between these electrode parts and the substrate 11 by means of a voltage that is applied across these electrode parts and the substrate 11, and a current path 25 which is disposed in a magnetic field, and which generates a Lorentz force when a current is passed through this current path. A mirror 12 which advances into and withdraws from the light path is disposed on the movable part 21. As a result, the mobility range of the movable part can be broadened, and the power consumption can be reduced, without applying a high voltage or sacrificing small size.

Abstract: A charge carrier lifetime of a semiconductor wafer is measured by contacting an electrically conductive measurement probe to a surface of a semiconductor wafer to form a capacitor. A DC voltage having an AC voltage superimposed thereon is applied to the capacitor and the DC voltage is swept between a first voltage and a second voltage. At the second voltage, the semiconductor wafer adjacent the contact between the measurement probe and the surface of the semiconductor wafer is exposed to a light pulse. After the light pulse terminates, a change in the capacitance of the capacitor over time is determined. From the thus determined change in capacitance, a charge carrier lifetime of the semiconductor wafer is determined. <IMAGE>
