Title: Electron beam plotter
Inventor: YAMAOKA NOBUKI
IPC: H01J37/30
Filed: 2003-02-03
Abstract: An electron beam plotter for plotting a pattern on the surface of a sample, includes an electron gun 41, an electron gun barrel 48, an electron beam ejection head section 40, an adjusting mechanism 57 and current amount measurement means 71,72. The electron gun 41 irradiates electron beams onto a surface of the sample 15. The electron beam ejection head section 40 is provided on an electron beam path from the electron gun to the sample. The electron beam ejection head section has a plurality of apertures 44a,44b, each made of conductive material. The adjusting mechanism 57 holds the plurality of apertures via insulators in a position-adjustable way and the current amount measurement means 71,72 measures the amount of current flowing across each of the plurality of apertures and the ground. This allows sequential determination on whether the apertures are correctly aligned and also allows for secure adjustment so as to prevent unintended cut off action of electron beam.

Title: Tactile card
Inventor: RANDALL MERVYN
IPC: B42D15/10
Filed: 2003-06-17
Abstract: A tactile transaction card having at least one readable medium, or indice or one writable medium or indice for storing information (magnetic strip 15) and having associated therewith at least two distinct tactile orientation means such as sets of notches 19,119, the arrangement of said orientation means being such that tactile detection by a user provides non-visual information of said card and readable medium or indice orientation relative to said user. Without visual aid it can be difficult to align a device or card correctly in relation to a card reader or writer to enable the readable or writable medium or indice to be written or read. Inclusion of at least two distinct tactile orientation means on a card allows a user who cannot perceive the orientation of the card to align the readable or writable indice correctly in relation to a machine reader or writer, by touch or feel. Other tactile orientation means are a raised projection (26, figure 2), a raised circular projection (34, figure 5) and a depressed circular indent (37, figure 6).

Title: Identifying special word usage in a document
Inventor: SIMSKE STEVEN J
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2004-04-29
Abstract: Automatically identifying potential novel or special word usage in a document (e.g. slang, code words, or jargon). The method comprises determining a part-of-speech assignment 14 for each word in the document using a first part-of-speech tagger, determining a part-of-speech assignment 16 for each word in the document using a second part-of-speech tagger different from the first part-of-speech tagger, and comparing the part-of-speech assignment 18 of the first and second part-of-speech taggers. A differential word set 18 is generated having words with different part-of speech assignments by the first and second taggers, which are candidates of words of novel usage. A subset of high interest words is determined 24 from the differential word set of a document set, using weighting algorithms. The resultant high interest word set may be used in a number of applications so that documents containing these special word usages may be identified and/or classified, new trends for word usage may be identified and tracked, and better machine text understanding is possible.

Title: Heterogeneous system configuration
Inventor: SCHMIDT DAVID
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2005-03-31
Abstract: A method of configuring a plurality of computer systems with a solution comprises mapping 412 physical identifiers of components of a system whose configuration is to be compared with a base system to logical identifiers of the components of that system, the mapping using a naming convention identifiable by a user so that components having similar capabilities and different physical locations can be compared to determine if they are equivalent devices. The logical identifiers of that system are then compared 420, 422 with those of a base or reference system. When there is a match, the logical identifiers of the system being compared are translated 430 to interface identifiers of that system. When there is no match, it is determined 432 how to map the logical identifiers of the system being compared, using a "best fit" approach. The base system can be used to map multiple systems.

Title: Tubular latch incorporating secondary spring means
Inventor: NAYLOR MARK
IPC: E05B3/06
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A latch bolt (18,19) is slidably mounted in a casing (10,12) with its bolt head (19) urged outwardly under the action of a first spring (22). It is retractable, against the action of the first spring (22), by a mechanism which includes a rotatable follower (24) having an aperture (25) to accommodate a door furniture spindle (not shown). A secondary spring (40) acts between the follower (24) on the one hand and the casing or a member fixed within the casing on the other hand to return the follower (24) to its initial position upon return of the latch bolt (18, 19) to its non-retracted position. However, a further secondary spring (42) is provided within the casing (10, 12) also acting between the follower (24) on the one hand and the casing or a member fixed within the casing on the other hand. In circumstances where the latch is mounted in an inverted condition in a door which opens at the opposite side, this further secondary spring (42) acts, in place of the first mentioned secondary spring (40), to return the follower (24) to its initial position upon return of the latch bolt to its non-retracted position . The further secondary spring (42) may also serve to limit movement of the follower (24) as it returns to its initial position under the action of the first secondary spring (40).

Title: Authentication of push-to-talk (PTT) communication terminal devices by Closed User Group (CUG) servers
Inventor: HASEGAWA NAOKI
IPC: H04W4/08
Filed: 2004-10-04
Abstract: A radio communications system comprises communication terminal devices for performing push-to-talk (PTT) communication, a server for processing radio communication between the terminal devices and Closed User Group (CUG) servers storing group information relating to a particular group of the PTT communication terminal devices. A communication terminal device acquires group information from a CUG server and transmits A2, to the server, a request for an audio information notification to be sent to a second communication terminal device in the acquired group. The server transmits A3 a request for authentication of the communication terminal device to the CUG server, based upon CUG identification in the group information sent with the request, and the CUG server determines whether or not information of the communication terminal device is stored in the group information. The CUG server sends A4 an authentication result back to the server, which then establishes A5 radio communication with the terminal devices in the acquired group and transmits A7 the audio information to the second terminal device.
