Abstract: A system and method for verifying sequential circuits. A
single pair of storage elements is selected from a single
sequential circuit using the selected pairs of storage elements.
A distinguishing sequence of test vectors is computed. Using the
computed distinguishing sequence of test vectors, the other
storage elements of the sequential circuits are distinguished.
Based on the storage elements distinguished in the circuits, a
correspondence between the storage elements of the circuits is
determined and thus, equivalence between the circuits is found
using combinational equivalence checking and the sequential
circuit is verified. Alternatively, by using Boolean decision
diagrams, the storage elements in the sequential circuit are
distinguished and likewise distinguishing groups of storage
elements are created. These distinguishing groups are further
refined by building new Boolean decision diagrams until no new
groupings are created and correspondence between the storage
elements of the circuits is determined.

Abstract: A system for a meta-browser includes a receiver, an output device for displaying a virtual unified browsing space, and a selector input device for navigating the space and making selections therein. The receiver is provided with the capability to receive information from multiple sources of different media types, including broadcast programming, additional information through the broadcast, electronic program guide information, and the Internet. The meta-browser presents personalized collections of information from multiple sources of different media types as different media collections in the unified browsing space, which can be easily and intuitively browsed. A user's browsing experience is further enhanced by personalized recommendations, which are generated based on a profile of the user's interests captured across multiple media sources. Collaborative filtering, which uses multiple user profiles to compute co-relations between the user's profile and others, is also used to make recommendations. The unified browsing space is also searchable.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de traitement thermique d'un boîtier anodique (60) d'une batterie zinc-air (10) dépolarisée, après que le boîtier a été formé, mais avant que la matière anodique (50) comprenant du zinc ne soit insérée dans le boîtier. Le boîtier anodique comprend une couche de cuivre sur sa surface intérieure. Le procédé consiste à traiter thermiquement le boîtier anodique en faisant passer un gaz à une température comprise entre 200 °C et 700 °C environ, de préférence entre 300 °C et 600 °C environ, de façon à ce qu'il entre en contact avec le boîtier, afin de former un boîtier anodique traité thermiquement, puis à refroidir le boîtier à la température ambiante. Le boîtier anodique traité thermiquement est mis à l'abri de l'air atmosphérique jusqu'à ce que la matière active anodique soit insérée dans le boîtier lors de l'assemblage de la batterie. Le procédé de traitement thermique permet de réduire sensiblement les dégagements gazeux lors de la décharge de la batterie et de son stockage et permet d'éviter de devoir ajouter du mercure à la matière anodique.

Abstract: In the present invention, a partly duplexed conversion table
is used as a conversion table for converting an M-bit based data
string directly into an N-bit based code string without using
margin bits. This conversion table is constituted by first and
second sub-tables including plural code groups, respectively.
The plural code groups include different codes for the same input
data. The second sub-table is a table which is partly duplexed
with the first sub-table and is produced by allocating different
codes to data from first input data to second input data in the
first sub-table. The first and second sub-tables are so designed
that code sets of the duplexed portions take variants of digital
sum variations which are opposite in sign. Codes are allocated
to all the code groups in the duplexed portions of the first and
second sub-tables with respect to input data sequentially from
a code having a maximum absolute value of variant of the digital
sum variation. Thus, according to the present invention, low
frequency components of modulated signals may be restricted
properly.

upper surface of the polishing pad, a substrate holding mechanism (6)
holding a substrate, a substrate rotating shaft (8) rotating the substrate

rotating the substrate axis about an eccentric axis (C). Angular velocity of
rotation of the substrate axis about the eccentric axis is set larger than
angular velocity of rotation of the substrate holding mechanism about the
substrate axis. Thus, contact area between a small area on the substrate
and the polishing pad is increased, bias wear of abrasive grains on the
polishing pad is prevented, clogging of the polishing pad is suppressed, and
new abrasive grains and new chemicals can be supplied with high efficiency
to each area of the substrate. Thus, polishing rate is improved.
