Title: Systeme de gestion de copie multimedia

IPC: H04L9/00

Abstract: La reproduction d'un signal de données enregistré sur un support source (140) ou distribué via un réseau de télécommunications est commandée par l'insertion de données d'étiquette maîtresse (130) et de données d'étiquette de contrôle (160) dans le signal de données. Un lecteur-enregistreur (150) insère une génération supplémentaire d'informations d'étiquette de contrôle chaque fois qu'une copie du support est réalisée. Si le nombre de générations d'informations d'étiquettes de contrôle dépasse un chiffre seuil, la  reproduction du signal de données peut être inhibée. Par exemple, si le signal de données est un signal audio, le lecteur-enregistreur peut permettre la lecture du signal audio et sa transmission par les haut-parleurs sans permettre l'enregistrement. La lecture et l'enregistrement de signaux associés, qui accompagnent un signal audio, peuvent également être limités. Les données d'étiquette maîtresse (130) et les données d'étiquette de contrôle (160) peuvent être fournies sous forme de signaux à étalement de spectre dont la forme spectrale et la puissance sont ajustées en fonction du signal de données de façon qu'ils soient imperceptibles dans le signal de données.

Abstract: A variable valve timing mechanism is provided at the distal end of a camshaft 17 for changing a valve timing of an engine valve 19. A camshaft 17 is rotatably supported by a cylinder head 20 and bearing cap 35, which form a bearing. A pulley 26 is mounted on the camshaft 17, and is relatively rotatably with respect to the camshaft 17. A belt 27 connects the pulley 26 to a crankshaft 16 to transmit power from an engine to the pulley 26. The belt 27 applies tension to the pulley 26 and the camshaft 17 in a specific direction. A ring gear 33 is positioned between the camshaft 17 and the pulley 26. First and second hydraulic pressure chambers 58, 59 are defined at the ends of the ring gear 33. A first oil passage 60 is defined in the camshaft 17 and is connected to the first pressure chamber 58. A second oil passage 62 is defined in the camshaft 17, and is connected to the second pressure chamber 59. A pair of grooves 36, 70, 37, 71 extend along the inner circumference of the cylinder head 20. The grooves 36, 70, 37, 71 are wider in a load bearing portion of the journal. In another embodiment, the grooves 65, 66 do not extend into a non-load bearing portion of the bearing.

Abstract: An air moving device which achieves an improvement in the
P-Q characteristic and a reduction in noise by suppressing the
production of vortices. An annular wall (2) is constructed such
that it is spaced from blade tips. This annular wall is
formed of a plurality of annular plates (7 1 ,...7 5 )
and spacers with a
slit (6) defined between adjacent annular plates
(7 1 ,...7 5 ). The width of
the slits (6) is set such that as a fan (1) is rotated, air is drawn
in a laminar flow through said slits (6) to the inner periphery of
the annular wall (2). Thereby, it is possible to suppress the
separation of air flow on the suction side of blade surfaces
and the production of vortices, thereby to improve the air
moving state.

Abstract: Valved couplers 20 and gas processing
components particularly suitable for ultra-high
purity gas distribution for use in semiconductor
manufacturing. In the couplers, a valve
stem/bullnose 34 seals the aperture of the coupler
56 immediately adjacent the exterior of the coupler,
so that only a minimal amount of the wetted surface
of the coupler is exposed to the external
environment. A gas processing component (e.g., a
filter 120), or an entire integrated gas stick
assembly 12, may be sealed from the exterior
environment at both its inlet and outlet sides, by
these valved couplers. As a result, the entire
device can be purged after manufacture and left in a
controlled environment during shipment and
installation, reducing the need for purging after
installation.

Abstract: Carbon fibers are presented which can be constantly
fed and uniformly dispersed when mixed to a fiber-reinforced
resin composition. 
     Carbon fibers which are carbon fibers obtained by
bundling carbon fibers having a yield of at least 0.9
g/m, followed by cutting, and which are characterized in
that the following collapse initiating angle and funnel
drop time are at most 65° and at most 20 seconds,
respectively.
   (1) Collapse initiating angle
100 g of the carbon fibers are put into a glass Petri
dish having an outer diameter of 255 mm and a height of
60 mm, and a cover is put on the Petri dish. While the
outer peripheral surface of the Petri dish is positioned
below, the Petri dish is gently shaked so that the upper
face of the carbon fibers becomes horizontal, and when
the shape is regulated, the Petri dish is placed on a
horizontal table in that state. Then, the glass
container is rolled until the carbon fibers start to
collapse. The rolled angle at that time is measured.   (2) Funnel drop time
30 g of the carbon fibers are put into a powder
funnel made of polypropylene (upper diameter: 100 mm,
tube diameter: 25 mm, tube length: 24 mm) having its
outlet preliminarily closed, a load of about 25 g/cm 2  is
exerted for 10 seconds, and after removing the load, the 
outlet is opened. At that time, the time until the
entire amount of the carbon fibers have dropped from the
funnel, is measured. In a case where the entire amount
has not dropped even upon expiration of 30 seconds or
more, the measured value is taken as 30 seconds.
