which band has at least in its transverse direction a higher stretchability
than the predetermined stretchability of the cover material thereby
increasing the compressability of the mattress in said zone (II).

Abstract: Four illuminators A, B, C and D direct collimated illuminating beams to a point O at the centre of a sample 40 and have projections onto the plane of the surface of the sample 40 at points A1, B1, C1, and D1. Angles <AOA1, <BOB1, <COC1, and <DOD1 have the same value of 45°. A camera (41) located directly above the point (O) acquires four images as the illuminators are individually illuminated. A processing section receives the acquired image data on line (42) and, after filtering, a common point distribution is evaluated based on the common points in the light intensity distribution data of two pairs of images with opposite illumination directions (A & C, B & D). At the same time, an edge enhancing distribution is evaluated based on the opposing value points in the light intensity distribution data for the opposing directions. These two distributions are combined and after thresholding, a binarised distribution is produced which is analysed. From this, pore size distribution, grain size distribution and porosity of the sample can be found.

IPC: G11B20/00

Abstract: A data payload PD is recorded on a compact disc in a format including a lead-in indicating a track start address ATOC and a subchannel P which changes state at a payload start address AP, subsequent to the track start address ATOC. Data ED recorded at the track start address ATOC includes unrecoverable data. Where the data payload PD is an audio track, an audio-only player begins to search sequentially from the track start address ATOC until the subchannel changes state, and reproduces the audio track from that point. A data player, on the other hand, begins to reproduce data from the track start address ATOC. When the unrecoverable data is read, the read operation is aborted, as it appears that the data has been corrupted. This operation cannot be easily circumvented, because it is not normally acceptable to ignore corrupt CD-ROM data. The disc may also include a second session containing an encrypted version of the data payload PD, where each sector is encrypted using a different key which is derived from a sector address by an algorithm and requires a special player program which performs the decryption. A supervisory program prevents circumvention of the copy protection.

Abstract: An automated machine is used to handle and manipulate individual pieces (14) of particulate matter (16). The particulate matter is contained in a bin (12). The machine operates to pick single individual pieces of the particulate matter from the bin. The picked individual pieces are then conveyed for further handling. Pneumatic transport is primarily used for the conveying operation. One aspect of the handling involves individually weighing (28) each piece of the picked particulate matters. Another aspect of the handling involves sorting the individual pieces of particulate matter into a plurality of receptacles (34). Yet another aspect of the handling involves both weighing (28) and then sorting the individual pieces of particulate matter, wherein the sorting operation may be performed based upon the measured weight (26) of each piece.

Abstract: A method for monitoring and controlling convection enhanced delivery of a therapeutic agent to a target tissue is disclosed. A tracer that is detectable, for example, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or by X-ray computed tomography (CT) is co-infused with the therapeutic agent and used to monitor the distribution of the therapeutic agent as it moves through the target tissue. The images obtained during delivery are used to confirm delivery of the therapeutic agent to the target tissue and to avoid exposure of tissue outside of the targeted area to the therapeutic agent. In addition, the signal intensity of the images may be used to confirm that the therapeutic agent has been delivered to the target tissue at a desired concentration.

IPC: G06F7/58
Filed: 2003-08-15
Abstract: A physical random number generator operates to generate a true random bit sequence while a linear feedback shift register and a clock collectively operate to provide a plurality of feedback random bit sequences. In operation, the linear feedback shift register periodically latches the feedback random bit sequences in response to a clock signal having a predetermined operating frequency from the clock. In latching the feedback random bit sequences, the linear feedback shift register includes a plurality of bi-stable latches for linearly shifting a mixed random bit sequence outputted by an XOR gate, which is combined with the true random bit sequence. A decimator receives a feedback random bit sequence and provides an output random bit sequence that is representative of a selective outputting of the feedback random bit sequence.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory that can make the transition from
a power-down state in a synchronous mode to an asynchronous
mode without setting by a control register and that needs no
extra circuits. A state selection section chooses, by selecting
an existing internal signal the level of which changes in the
power-down state or an existing internal signal the level of
which does not change in the power-down state in accordance
with a state selection signal inputted in advance and passing
a signal selected to a synchronous/asynchronous mode setting
section, whether the semiconductor memory should make the
transition from the power-down state to a standby state in the
synchronous mode or a standby state in the asynchronous mode.
In accordance with the selection by the state selection section,
the synchronous/asynchronous mode setting section generates
a signal for causing the semiconductor memory to make the
transition between the synchronous mode and the asynchronous
mode.
