Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'authentifier un support optique numérique, tel qu'un CD-ROM, ledit système déterminant si le support est une copie non autorisée ou l'original. Le support original est créé ou modifié, de sorte à contenir des emplacements anormaux d'où le transfert de données est effectué à des vitesses autres que celles qu'indiquerait une copie numérique standard. Un mode d'application du processus concerne l'analyse du chronométrage des différentes vitesses de transfert de données et n'implique pas nécessairement de retransmettre les lectures de données et ne requiert pas que le support montre des erreurs fatales, comme dans des méthodes traditionnelles. Ce procédé s'utilise dans des systèmes contrôlant l'accès à des copies non autorisées ou peut s'utiliser à d'autres fins d'information. Le vol, la distribution et le piratage du contenu numérique de supports optiques, comme des logiciels informatiques (de même que des jeux, des contenus vidéo, audio et le contenu de livres électroniques) s'effectuent fréquemment par copie directe dudit contenu sur un autre disque, à l'aide d'outils de copie d'usage courant et des supports optiques enregistrables ou la reproduction d'un support sur un autre disque produit en série. L'invention qui contribue à identifier de manière irréfutable une unité de support optique comme étant l'original et peut en conséquence identifier toute copie effectuée par n'importe quel moyen d'usage courant en tant que telle, peut empêcher un individu non autorisé d'utiliser toute copie non autorisée. Cette invention présente des avantages considérables pour les éditeurs de contenu qui souhaitent protéger leurs produits.

Abstract: Beschrieben wird eine Linsenanordnung mit lateral verschiebbarer optischer Achse für Teilchenstrahlen, insbesondere zur Übertragung von Bereichen einer Gegenstandsebene in die Bildebene mittels Elektronen, mit einer kombinierten Linse, welche aus einer Zylinderlinse und einer Quadrupollinse besteht, die mit elektrischen und/oder magnetischen Feldern beaufschlagbare Schlitzblenden aufweisen. Dabei ist die optische Achse der Quadrupollinse parallel zur Achse der Zylinderlinse orientiert und definiert die optische Achse der Abbildung, wobei deren Position relativ zur Achse der Zylinderlinse änderbar ist. Die Fokussierung der Quadrupollinse erfolgt in dem Schnitt, in welchem die Zylinderlinse ohne Fokussierung ist, und die Defokussierung der Quadrupollinse in dem Schnitt, in welchem die Zylinderlinse fokussiert. Erfindungsgemäss ist vorgesehen, dass die kombinierte Linse als Immersionslinse zur Abbildung von Sekundärelektronen betreibbar ist, das Immersionsfeld in axialer Richtung aus wenigstens zwei aneinunder angrenzenden Feldern besteht, wobei das erste Feld zwischen Objekt und erster Schlitzblende, das zweite Feld zwischen erster und zweiter Schlitzblende anliegt und beide Felder unabhängig von einander einstellbar sind. Gemäss Vorschlag wird weiterhin die Potentialdifferenz zwischen Objekt und erster Blende relativ zu der zwischen erster und zweiter Blende vergleichsweise klein und der Potentialverlauf zwischen Objekt und erster Blende näherungsweise linear vorgegeben. Die fokussierende/defokussierende Wirkung der kombinierten Linse ergibt sich aus der Überlagerung des Immersionsfeldes, des Zylinderlinsenfeldes und des Quadrupolfeldes. Eine Variante der vorgeschlagenen Linsenanordnung ist zum Einsatz als Kathodenlinse für eine Photokathode mit mehreren gleichartigen, nebeneinanderliegenden Emissionsbereichen vorgesehen.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal includes at least one function key which
demonstrates improved resistance to vibration. This is achieved by positioning a spacer
between the function key and an associated switch, which in the case of a mobile terminal may
be a tact switch. The spacer may be made from an elastic material which compresses when
inserted between the switch and function key. Alternatively, the spacer may be made from a
rigid material. Also, the spacer may extend from one or more layers of a keypad and may be
made to bend into proper orientation adjacent a side button on the terminal By eliminating the
clearance gap between the function key and switch, undesirable noise is prevented and
improved stability to vibration is demonstrated. Also, a better feel to as user is achieved as a
result of the reduction or elimination of this clearance gap.
