Patent EP-1280084-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EGENDORF ANDREW
IPC: G07F19/00
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: An Internet billing method comprises establishing an agreement between an Internet access provider and a customer, and an agreement between the Internet access provider and a vendor, wherein the Internet access provider agrees with the customer and the vendor to bill the customer and remit to the vendor for products and services purchased over the Internet by the customer from the vendor. The provider creates access to the Internet for the customer. When the customer orders a product or service over the Internet from a vendor, transactional information transmitted between the customer and the vendor is also transmitted to the provider. The provider then bills the transaction amount to the customer and remits a portion of the transaction amount to the vendor, keeping the differential as a fee for providing the service. As a result of this method, there is no need for any customer account numbers or vendor account numbers to be transmitted over the Internet, thereby maintaining the security of that information.

Inventor: LEE JAE-WOOK
IPC: G11B20/18
Filed: 2002-11-26
Abstract: An adaptive equalizer (100) has an FIR filter (110) for generating an equalized
output signal by equalizing an RF input signal, a sign detector (122) for detecting a
sign of the output signal, an absolute value calculator (124) for calculating an
absolute value of the output signal,
a level error detection part (128) for calculating
an error by using a sign and an absolute value,
and a coefficient calculator (130) for
calculating coefficients of the FIR filter based on the error. The level error
detection part detects a detection level of the output signal, the detection level
which is one of reference values required by a channel characteristic model of
a decoder provided with the output signal, and calculates the error which is the
difference between the detection level and a real level of the output signal.
Since the sign and the value of the signal are used for calculating the error, the
reliability of the error calculation increases.

Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works, in which the owner of a digital work (101) attaches usage rights (102) to that work. Usage rights are granted by the "owner" of a digital work to "buyers" of the digital work. The usage rights define how a digital work may be used and further distributed by the buyer. Each right has associated with it certain optional specifications which outline the conditions and fees upon which the right may be exercised. Digital works are stored in a repository. A repository will process each request (103,104) to access a digital work by examining the corresponding usage rights (105). Digital work playback devices, coupled to the repository containing the work, are used to play, display or print the work. Access to digital works for the purposes of transporting between repositories (e.g. copying, borrowing or transfer) is carried out using a digital work transport protocol. Access to digital works for the purposes of replay by a digital work playback device(e.g. printing, displaying or executing) is carried out using a digital work playback protocol. Access is denied (106) or granted (107) depending whether the requesting repository has the required usage rights.

Abstract: To provide a vacuum pump used for semiconductor manufacturing,
which has improved reliability and safety and in which damages to
a pump casing, peripheral apparatuses, or the like are prevented
from occurring by preventing the occurrence of rotor breakage due
to corrosion. A balancer (20) is provided in the outer circumferential
surface of the rotor so as to face the inside of the gas passageway.
A balancer (20) main body is supported against the outer circumferential
surface of a rotor through a fragile portion that is weak with respect
to corrosive gasses, the fragile portion of the balancer (20) is damaged
by corrosion before any corrosive gas influence appears in rotor
blades or the rotor, and the balancer falls off, thus forcibly causing
an unbalanced state to appear in the rotor. The balancer (20) thus
possesses a function for balancing the rotor and a corrosion detecting
function. The unbalanced state of the rotor is then detected by
a sensor (30), and damages to the vacuum pump itself and to the peripheral
apparatuses can be prevented by stopping the pump.

Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing
refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about -40°C and a gas expander cycle to
provide refrigeration below about -100°C. Each of these two types of refrigerant
systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of
the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to
liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can
be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in
the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an
existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant
refrigeration system.

Abstract: A system for watermarking and distributing material includes a data processing
apparatus, which operates as a watermark encoder. The data processing apparatus is
operable to process an original material item to form a reduced-bandwidth-version of
the material item, marked with a code word from a predetermined set of code words.
The data processing apparatus is operable to form an impaired version of the material
item from which a marked representation of the original material item can be formed.
The impaired version is formed by subtracting the reduced-bandwidth-version of the
material item from a copy of the original material item. As such, the impaired version
can be mass distributed, but a representation of the original material item cannot be
formed without the reduced-bandwidth-version of the material item. By watermarking
the reduced-bandwidth-versions, a representation of the material item, formed by
combining one of the marked reduced-bandwidth-versions with the impaired material
item, can be uniquely identified. However, only a low bandwidth part of the material
item need be watermark encoded, which is more easily distributable to individual
recipients than watermarked copies of the original material item.
