Abstract: In a method for identifying an unknown product a library of absorbance spectra of known products is measured and stored in a library. A quick search using clustering techniques is conducted to narrow the search to a few products, followed by an exhaustive search of the spectra of the few products. More specifically, principal component analysis is applied to the absorbance spectra to generate product score vectors extending into principal component inside model space which are divided into clusters and subclusters in accordance with their relative proximity. Hyperspheres are constructed around each vector and an envelope is constructed to enclose each cluster surrounding the hyperspheres within the cluster. The absorbance spectrum of the unknown product to be identified is measured and an unknown product score vector is determined from the unknown product spectrum projecting in principal component inside model space of the clusters. It is determined whether or not the unknown product score vector falls within one of the envelopes and if so the product score vector is projected into the principal component inside model space of that cluster and it is determined whether or not the unknown product score vector falls within any of the subclusters divided from the cluster. This process is repeated until the unknown product score vector is found to lie in a cluster which is not further subdivided. In this manner, the search is narrowed to a few products. An exhaustive search is then carried out to match the spectrum of the unknown product with the spectra of the known products corresponding to the undivided subcluster.

Abstract: The invention consists of attaching or embedding a "TIRIS"
transponder (or other RF or IR or barcode or other identifying
device) physically into the center of the proposed DVD disk. Once
a disk is input to a media player, the interrogation portion of the
media player transmits an interrogation signal to the transponder
located on the disk. Once empowered with the interrogation signal,
the transponder accesses the predetermined address, code word ,
encryption algorithms, media type information, and copyright
information from it's memory. Then the transponder transmits the
address, the code word, encryption algorithms, media type
information and copyright information to the interrogator, located
within the media player, and the interrogator sends the transponder
data stream to a conditional access management processor(CAMP)..
Simultaneously with the processing action of the CAMP, the
interrogator instructs the player to access the data_word at the
predetermined address on the disk and the player accesses the
data_word on the disk. The media player only plays if there is a
match between the read data_word and received code word and the
received algorithm correctly decrypts the content of the media
prior to decoding.

Abstract: An electrostatic lens system consisting of several electrodes and a novel
method of making same. The invention relates to a lithography apparatus that
includes a field composable lens where at least one lens electrode has a novel
structure, said structure comprising an outer support 2, an insulating
intermediate part 3 and a conductive inner part composed of a number of
segment-like subelectrodes 4 that can be individually powered, if necessary, slightly
differently to produce desired individual electrostatic subfields to be superimposed
to the lens field. With the field composable lens design, it has been successfully
demonstrated that a number of shape and alignment errors of lens components can
be corrected by supplying slightly different voltages to individual subelectrodes,
thus optimizing the overall lens performance (in view of its optical properties).
The lens components may be manufactured on less expensive and readily available
conventional precision machinery rather than expensive and rarely available high
precision equipment.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a fully integrated data
synchronization circuit for a disk drive read channel system.
The data synchronization system comprises dual data
synchronizers to provide read reference clocks. Dual PLL
circuits are coupled to the data synchronizers to provide a
stable reference frequency to data synchronizers. One of the two
data synchronizers is used to obtain leading edge data, while
the other is for trailing edge data. Each PLL circuit comprises
a phase detector, a charge pump, and a VCO. A loop filter is
used in conjunction with a charge pump to control loop
characteristics of the PLLs. In an idle mode, one of the PLLs
is used as a time base generator to provide a stable reference
frequency to data synchronizers. Once data synchronizers achieve
lock using the stable reference frequency and switch over to
read data, the time base generator PLL is switched over to
function as a data synchronizer PLL in a read mode. Thus, one of
the PLLs is used as both time base generator and data
synchronizer PLL, thereby eliminating the need for extra PLL
circuitry and requiring only two PLL circuits to support time
base generation and data synchronization.
