Abstract: The present invention provides a digital camera for recording image data
captured by an image capturing unit (10) to a recording medium (25), which
includes an image signal processor (11) for processing captured image data, a
recording and reproducing unit having an OP (Optical Pickup) unit (13) for writing
and/or reading out data to and/or from the recording medium (25), and a control
unit (24) for managing files having a sequence of data stored therein based on a
virtual allocation table showing correspondence between actual addresses

makes it possible to perform on-demand information distribution.
With this comes a desire for an autonomous information
distribution system that meets both'diverse client requirements
and the need for a high level of immediacy. 
     An objective of the present invention is to provide such
information distribution systems. The systems of the present
invention comprise a means for managing the number of
distributions, a means for generating an advertising list in
which the extraction probability of each information material in
the case of random extraction is the ratio of the remaining
number of distributions of each information material to the
overall remaining number of distributions, a means for handicap
application which applies a handicap to the remaining number of
distributions of each information material included in the
advertising list, and a means for random extraction which
performs random extraction with respect to the advertising list
so as to extract one information material. In these systems of
the present invention, extracted information materials are
distributed to a distribution demand terminal from the
information distribution server via a network, and the contents
of the advertising list are updated.

Abstract: In mobile computing and context awareness in mobile ad-hoc networks (502a) node connectivity is unpredictably time-varying. A middleware entity (110') solves the problem of automatically executing a user-defined set of actions (214), collected in a user profile (210), upon detection of events such as an attachment of a mobile terminal (504) to the ad-hoc network (502a), changes of the underlying network topology, the moving of mobile terminals into the physical proximity of further mobile terminals, the presence of services and/or of users within said network, and a detachment of a mobile terminal from the ad-hoc network. Thereby, said actions (214) are invocations of services hosted on said mobile terminal (504) or other mobile terminals interconnected via said ad-hoc network (502a). The aforementioned profiles are stored on mobile terminals (e.g. PDAs, mobile phones, etc.) or on fixed or mobile customer-edge (CE) devices such as television sets, home gateways, etc. Also envisioned is the deployment of a distributed database holding said profiles (210).

Abstract: A subjective test method for characterizing the deflated handling performance of self-supporting tires includes the steps of positioning tires on selected wheels of a test vehicle and then subjecting the tire - test vehicle combination to a plurality of different driving maneuvers such that a variety of testing objectives can be evaluated. Exemplary driving maneuvers are representatives of a vehicle's operation in steady state, transient state, throttle lift-off, and/or emergency driving situations. Testing objectives that are obtained in accordance with each test maneuver may include both objective criteria that may be obtained via vehicle instrumentation and subjective criteria that may be assigned grade ratings by a test driver. Uniformity of testing maneuvers and driver solicitation is preferred to minimize dispersion in test results. A standardized reporting grid is also provided in accordance with the disclosed technology such that the results of the testing objectives may be properly documented. Selected test data are then used to provide performance ratings for tire acceptability levels. Some performance ratings are automatically calculated through an established algorithm, and all ratings are preferably provided on a common rating scale.

Abstract: In a waste water flocculating process, sediment forms within an upright container and migrates to a base outlet. Treated water is discharged from the container via an overflow weir to an outlet. The container has a second outlet (35) from which water and solids are tapped and are then re-introduced to the container at a point where the concentration of solids in water differs from that of the second outlet. An INDEPENDENT claim is included for a commensurate waste water (24) in which a flocculent agent is admixed to the liquid in a vertical container (2). The effluent and solids are introduced via an inlet (31a, 31b) located just below a ring-shaped panel (19) near the top and migrates to a sludge outlet (3) near the base. The treated liquid is discharged via a weir (25) to an outlet (1). The container (2) has a second tapping point (35) from which a low concentration of solids and liquid are tapped, and subsequently returned to a point (27) at which there is a high concentration. The tapping point (35) is separated by a distance from the sludge discharge (3) that minimizes interference with the flow of sludge to the sludge outlet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a manhole element, particularly a manhole ring (4), from concrete or reinforced concrete, comprising an upper edge (4c) and a lower edge (4b), whereby the upper and lower edges (4c; 4b) are designed for centrally engaging inside the edges (4b; 4c) of adjacent manhole rings (4). One edge (4c) has spacing areas (4d), which are distributed along the periphery and which, in the direction of the longitudinal axis (4a), jut out or are set back with regard to the remaining adjacent surrounding edge area. The lower edge (4b) of a fixed lower sleeve (3) and the upper edge (4c) of a lowerable upper sleeve (1d; 1e) of a manhole ring finisher (1), said upper sleeve being able to swivel in an alternating manner about the axis of symmetry of the manhole element, are formed by compacting the concrete located inside a manhole ring mold. The spacing areas (4d) are provided on the upper edge (4c) formed by the upper sleeve (1d; 1e), and the upper sleeve (1d; 1e) is subdivided into two different areas (1e and 1d), the first (1e) of which being designed so that it cannot swivel with regard to the upper edge (4c) and being provided for forming the spacing areas (4d). The second area (1d), together with the first area (1e), is arranged so that it can be lowered and can swivel in an alternating manner with regard to the first area. The upper edge (4c) is formed by the separately constructed upper sleeve (1d; 1e) in such a manner that the spacing areas (4d) are formed by the non-swiveling first area (1e) of the upper sleeve (1d; 1e), and the remaining upper edge (4e) is formed by the second area (1d) of the upper sleeve (1d; 1e), said second area being able to swivel in an alternating manner.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for
analyzing the C-terminal amino acid sequence of a peptide
by applying reaction technique for successively releasing
the C-terminal amino acids therefrom, which method can
suppress, when releasing the C-terminal amino acids of
the peptide in sequence, such a undesirable side reaction
as cleavage of peptide bond in the intermediate position
of the peptide, and allows to carry out the chemical
treatment thereof under widely applicable conditions. In
the method according to the present invention, an
alkanoic acid anhydride and a perfluoroalkanoic acid both
of vapor phase, which are supplied from a mixture
containing an alkanoic acid anhydride with a small amount
of a perfluoroalkanoic acid added thereto, are allowed to
act on a dry sample of the peptide to be examined in a
dry atmosphere at a temperature chosen in a range of 15
to 60 °C; whereby the release of the C-terminal amino
acid is resulted from successive formation of a 5-oxazolone
structure being followed by cleavage of the 5-oxazolone
ring; and then the C-terminal amino acids
sequence is identified by analysis based on the decrease
in molecular weight in a series of the reaction products
obtained.
