Abstract: A broadcast satellite network (200) transmits from a source (201) to multiple router nodes (230) digital real-time program information and best-effort data. The router nodes are specifically suited for extracting best-effort data streams from the multiplexed signal received via, e.g., a satellite. A number of management techniques are disclosed. According to one technique, a packet (150) is formed having a network layer header (152), including a destination address for routing a packet to a destination, a second header identifying a syntax and semantic by which a payload of the packet may be parsed in a predefined fashion (156), and a payload (158) containing a command to be executed by each of one or more to-be-managed nodes (230) to which the packet is destined. The packet is transmitted a plural amount of times to a plurality of nodes, including the one or more to-be-managed nodes, but the command in the particular packet is executed only a single time. According to other techniques, the nodes (230) are divided into groups. In one technique, a unique identifier is assigned to each group and the packet containing the command contains the identifier. The packet is transmitted once but received by all nodes, including the group of nodes to which the same identifier was assigned. Only those nodes of the group with the same identifier execute the command. According to another embodiment, a manager node (212) maintains a list of the addresses of all nodes in a group and automatically transmits the packet once to each address, thereby enabling automatic communication of the same packet to multiple nodes.

Abstract: An SOFC structure having segmentation of the mixed layer on a cathode electrode to allow a higher fraction of ionic phase in a mixed layer, resulting in improved microstructure that provides higher specific surface area for electrochemical reaction. This is accomplished by using a mixed ionic and electronic conductor (MIEC) layer (14) over the segmented layer (116) that supplies electrons laterally and vertically through the thickness of the mixed layer. Adequate connectivity between the cathode current collector (130) and electrolyte (20) for electrons is established, assuring efficient charge transfer and improved activity of the electrocatalyst in the porous cathode. Cell resistance is reduced and power output is improved. Further, the invention can efficiently incorporate a variety of functional layers on the anode electrode to improve protection from poisons and certain fuel mixtures that degrade cell performance, and can reduce stresses between fuel cell components while maintaining adequate connectivity with the anode current collector and electrolyte via an Ni-YSZ anode.

Abstract: Methods and devices for altering the power of a lens, such as an intraocular lens, are disclosed. In one method, the lens comprises a single polymer matrix containing crosslinkable pendant groups, wherein the polymer matrix increases in volume when crosslinked. The lens does not contain free monomer. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, crosslinking causes the exposed portion of the lens to increase in volume, causing an increase in the refractive index. In another method, the lens comprises a polymer matrix containing photobleachable chromophores. Upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation, photobleaching causes a decrease in refractive index in the exposed portion without any change in lens thickness. These methods avoid the need to wait for diffusion to occur to change the lens shape and avoid the need for a second exposure to radiation to lock in the changes to the lens.

Abstract: Spatial errors identifying differences between spatial co-ordinates of vertices of a mesh surface defined by mesh data and corresponding vertices in a mesh surface generated from an encoded representation of the mesh data are determined. Mesh data and texture co-ordinate data associating vertices of a mesh surface with locations in an image space of an image to be rendered onto the mesh surface are then processed to determine mapping between the co-ordinate space of the mesh data and the image space of an image to be rendered onto the mesh surface. Texture co-ordinate data for each vertex is then modified to associate a vertex with a location in image space which differs from the location identified by the unmodified texture co-ordinate data by an amount corresponding to the projection the spatial errors associated with the vertex to the image space. Modifying the texture co-ordinate data substantially eliminates errors of appearance arising due to approximations in an encoding process enabling the modified texture co-ordinate data to be truncated to achieve improved data compression without errors exceeding an acceptable threshold.

Abstract: SiC is a very stable substance, and it is difficult to control the condition of a SiC surface to be suitable for crystal growth in conventional Group III nitride crystal growing apparatuses. This problem is solved as follows. The surface of a SiC substrate 1 is rendered into a step-terrace structure by performing a heating process in an atmosphere of HCl gas. The surface of the SiC substrate 1 is then treated sequentially with aqua regia, hydrochloric acid, and hydrofluoric acid. A small amount of silicon oxide film formed on the surface of the SiC substrate 1 is etched so as to form a clean SiC surface 3 on the substrate surface. The SiC substrate 1 is then installed in a high-vacuum apparatus and the pressure inside is maintained at ultrahigh vacuum (such as 10 -6  to 10 -8  Pa). In the ultrahigh vacuum state, a process of irradiating the surface with a Ga atomic beam 5 at time t1 at temperature of 800°C or lower and performing a heating treatment at 800°C or higher is repeated at least once. The temperature is then set to the growth temperature of an AIN film, and the SiC substrate surface 3 is initially irradiated with A1 atoms 8a in ultrahigh vacuum state, followed by the feeding of N atoms 8b.
