Abstract: A method for determining the orientation of a borehole from measurements
of the gravity and magnetic field within the borehole. The hole azimuth is
obtained corrected for sources of permanent, induced and electrically caused
magnetic interference. Information-on these sources and on the earth's magnetic

no prior information is required. The method uses several survey measurements
to provide the required data for the correction, and provides quality assurance
indicators that do not depend on ad hoc rules.

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: In a distributed system, a method and apparatus for
automatically checking objects according to a specification
which includes public contracts and private constraints. Public
contracts are obeyed by both client and server, while private
constraints are obeyed by either client (500) or server (600), but for a
given private constraint, not by both. At each and every stage
of a client-to-server or server-to-client transaction or "call",
the objects or parameters related to call are automatically
checked to ensure a specification is met. A client-side stub (502,504,506,508) on
the client automatically generates and executes checking code to
check both private client-side constraints and public contracts
on the client (500) prior to network transfer to a server. The server (600)
has a server-side skeleton (602,604,606,608) which intercepts the call and
objects. The server-side skeleton (602,604,606,608) performs checking by code
automatically generated to check the public contracts if any,
with client (500) and any private server-side constraints. Once
checking is complete, the call is processed and a server (600)
"return" is the result. The return object is then transferred
across the network to the client (500). The client-side stub (502,504,506,508) then
performs automatic checking according to the specification of
the return object which may be different from the specification
checked for objects related to the call initially sent by the
client (500).
