Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works. The present invention
allows the owner of a digital work to attach usage rights (1450) to their work. The usage rights
define how the individual digital work may be used and distributed (1451). Instances of usage
rights are defined using a flexible and extensible usage rights grammar. Conceptually, a right
in the usage rights grammar is a label associated with a predetermined behavior and conditions
to exercising the right. The behavior of a usage right is embodied in a predetermined set
(1452) of usage transactions steps. The usage transaction steps further check all conditions
(1453-1457) which must be satisfied before the right may be exercised. These usage transaction
steps define a protocol for requesting the exercise of a right and the carrying out of a right.

Abstract: A resilient contact piece 20 is comprised of a curved portion 21 folded back at
a front end 15F of a bottom wall 15 (supporting plate portion), a touching portion 22
extending from the curved portion and held in contact with the bottom wall 15, and a
contact portion 23 extending from the touching portion 22. Upon being brought into
contact with a male tab T, the contact portion 23 is resiliently displaced with a rear
end 22R of the touching portion 22 as a supporting point, and a contact pressure can
be ensured by a resiliently restoring force of the resilient contact piece 20. Since the
curved portion 21 is not resiliently deformed when the contact portion 23 is displaced,
there is no possibility of concentrating a stress on the curved portion 21.
Therefore, the height of a terminal fitting can be reduced by reducing a radius of curvature
of the curved portion 21.

Abstract: A method for increasing structural strength of spokes (1) of a
bicycle or a motorcycle, which adopts a mechanically processing measure
to increase the structural strength of the bending section (2) of the
spoke. The spoke (1) is many times compressed to process and harden the
bending section (2) of the spoke so as to enhance the metal strength
(shearing strength) of the bending section. At the same time, the wire
diameter of the spoke (cross-sectional area) is increased due to
compression in accordance with the principle that shearing load =
shearing strength × cross-sectional area. With least metal material and
lower processing cost, the spoke (1) can have highest structural
strength.

Abstract: The invention provides a system for implementing a high capacity MIMO system with
high throughput which will ensure an eigenmode rich channel largely irrespective of the
environment. In conventional MIMO systems, the environment can substantially
reduce the theoretically achievable throughput if there is little angular diversity. The
system includes a scattering structure for scattering beams emitted by an antenna array
to provide good angular diversity at the receiver and hence good throughput in all
environments. In addition, the scattering structure is controllable to allow its properties
and hence the eigenmodes generated to be varied to maximise the efficiency of the
system.

Abstract: The device for modelling an integrated circuit comprising at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor, comprises the means for elaborating (MLB) a parameter representative of the mechanical constraints applied onto the active zone (ZA) of the transistor, and the processing means (MT) which are adapted to determine at least some electrical parameters (P) of the transistor by taking into account the constraint parameter The elaborating means (MLB) are adapted to define a useful active zone (ZAU) equal to a part or all of the active zone (ZA) of the transistor, and the constraint parameter is a geometrical parameter (aeq) representative of a distance counted in the direction of the length of the transistor channel and separating the transistor gate from the edge of the useful active zone. The processing means (MT) determine the electrical parameter (P) on the basis of a relation which involves the value of the electrical parameter determined for a reference distance, for example the minimum distance (amin) required of the active zone, the value of the constant parameter, the value of the reference distance, and a coefficient associated with the electrical parameter and dependent on the width (W) and the length (L) of the transistor channel. The processing means (MT) are adapted to compute the electrical parameter on the basis of the constraint parameter and by use of a basic simulation model (BSIM). The method for modelling an integrated circuit comprising at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor is implemented by the device as claimed.  The reference distance is the minimum distance (amin) required of the active zone, the electrical parameter (P) is defined by a relation comprising the value of the electrical parameter determined for the minimum distance, the coefficient associated with the parameter, the constraint parameter and the minimum distance. The device also comprises several reference transistors having different reference values (Wref,Lref) for the width and the length of the transistor channel, and different values for the constraint parameter. The processing means comprise the measuring means adapted to measure the value of the electrical parameter for each reference transistor, the first computing means adapted to compute the reference coefficient for each couple of the reference values (Wref, Lref), and the second computing means adapted to compute the coefficient on the basis of different reference coefficients. The electrical parameter (P) is, for example, the mobility of carriers at weak field and ambient temperature, the threshold voltage, and the drain/source resistance. Independent claims are also included for a method for implementing an integrated circuit comprising at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor, and an integrated circuit comprising at least one insulated-gate field-effect transistor. The transistor is of type n-MOS when the constraint distance is greater than two times the minimum distance, or of type p-MOS when the constraint distance is less than two times the minimum distance.

Abstract: The seasoning applicator (100) applies seasoning onto snack food products (108) such as potato chips, corn chips, tortilla chips, and the like in a two-dimensional seasoning pattern. A two compartment sifting assembly (110) has a first top layer having a screen (122) where seasoning is initially deposited. Upon vibration, the seasoning is passed through the top layer screen into a lower compartment. Therein, the seasoning is further distributed across the surface of the lower layer screen (132), which generally has a screen with smaller openings than the top layer screen. This promotes the even distribution of seasoning through the lower screen. Thereby, a two-dimensional seasoning pattern is created for depositing on a moving bed (170) of snack food products.

Abstract: An integrated detector and signal processor (31) for ladar focal plane arrays (30) which internally compensates for variations in detector gain, noise, and aerosol backscatter. The invention (31) is comprised of a detector element (42) for receiving an input signal, a circuit (72) for generating a threshold based on the RMS noise level of the input signal, and a circuit (74) determining when the input signal is above that threshold. The detector element (42) is physically located in the interior of the detector array (30), while the signal processing circuitry (50) is located on the periphery of the array (30). In the preferred embodiment, the signal processor (31) also includes a circuit (56) for sampling the input signal and a circuit (58) storing multiple samples, allowing for multiple returns to be detected. In the preferred embodiment, the signal processor (31) can be operated in two modes: self triggered and externally triggered (range-gate mode). In the self triggered mode, the detector continually monitors and samples the incoming signal until a return is detected (by the thresholding circuit). In the range-gate mode, the detector stops sampling when it receives a signal from an external source. Once the data has been acquired, readout electronics (66) output the stored samples along with the stored "stopped" time code to an external computer (26).

Abstract: La présente invention a trait à la déshydratation du gypse dans le procédé de désulfuration des gaz d'émission basé sur la technologie d'oxydation forcée de calcaire. La déshydratation est activée et/ou améliorée par l'ajout d'acides carboxyliques, de préférence l'acide citrique à la suspension de lavage. On a observé que les acides carboxyliques agissent comme agent modificateur du faciès des cristaux lors de la cristallisation du gypse sous oxydation forcée. On a également observé que dans des conditions de fonctionnement normales, c'est à dire en l'absence d'ajout d'acide, le faciès de cristaux du gypse présente un faciès aciculaire (en forme d'aiguille) et leur déshydratation est rendue difficile par le fait qu'ils ont tendance à retenir la solution-mère dans le gâteau de filtration. En présence d'acides carboxyliques, de préférence d'acide citrique, dans la suspension de lavage les cristaux présentent un faciès allongé (massif) et peuvent être aisément déshydratés dans la centrifugeuse jusqu'à 90 % en matières solides. L'invention a trait également à un dispositif permettant la déshydratation du gypse et une cimenterie comportant un tel dispositif.
