Inventor: ROMNEY GORDON
IPC: H04L9/32
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: The present invention consists of a method and apparatus for
authenticating an electronic document. In one embodiment of the invention,
a party wishing to digitally sign an electronic document (the "client") stores
the unsigned electronic document, and the client's public and private keys, on
transportable storage media such as a floppy disk. The client conveys the
storage media to an authorized electronic document authenticator. An
authorized electronic document authenticator is an individual or enterprise
that has access to the apparatus of the present invention or that has been
authorized to use the method of the present invention. The client presents
identity documents to the authenticator to verify the client's identity. The
client digitally signs the electronic document in the presence of the
authenticator. The authenticator verifies the digital signature using the public
key provided by the client. Having witnessed the client digitally signing the
electronic document using the client's private key, having verified that the
public key supplied to the authenticator by the client corresponds to the
private key used by the client to produce the digital signature, and having
verified the identity of the client using the identification documents provided
by the client and/or biometric measurements taken of the client, the
authenticator appends an "authenticator identification envelope" containing
a certification to that effect to the electronic document. In one embodiment of
the invention, the authenticator identification envelope includes digitally
recorded biometric data obtained from the client. The authenticator digitally
signs the resulting electronic document, creating an authenticated electronic
document. The authenticator transfers the completed, authenticated
electronic document onto transportable storage media and returns it to the
client.

Abstract: In an endoscopic apparatus (1), when the dynamic range
expansion on/off switch (34) is turned on, a CPU (35) changes
a switch (23) from one contact over to another. Red, green,
and blue digital signals sent from a knee and gamma circuit
(22) are output to respective dynamic range expanding
circuits (25R, 25G, 25B). Thus, the dynamic ranges for the
digital signals are expanded. On the other hand, the CPU (35)
changes another switch (31) from one contact over to the
other. A light adjustment signal output from an operational
amplifier (33) is then driven to a level causing a diaphragm
in a light source unit (7) to open further. Consequently, an
increased amount of illumination light is supplied to the
incident end of a light guide running through an endoscope
(2). Thus, when a dynamic range is expanded, a halation will
not occur in imaging of an object located at a near point.
Moreover, insufficiency in illumination light will not occur
in imaging of an object located at a far point. The dynamic
range can therefore be expanded efficiently. An endoscopic
image of the interior of a body cavity can be viewed with the
body cavity set to a desired brightness level at whichever of
points ranging from a near point to a far point the body
cavity is located.

Abstract: A reduced offset position transducer uses at least one
coupling loop (212,216) on a scale to inductively couple a
transmitter winding (222) on a read head (220) to one or
more receiver windings (224,226) on the read head. The
transmitter winding (222) generates at least one primary
magnetic field. The transmitter winding (222) is
inductively coupled to the first loop portions of the
coupling loops (212,216) by the primary magnetic field.
Second loop portions of the coupling loops (212,216)
generate secondary magnetic fields. Each receiver winding
(224,226) is inductively coupled to the second loop
portions of the coupling loops (212,216) by the secondary
magnetic fields. At least one of the transmitter winding
(222) or the receiver windings (224,226) is formed in a
periodic pattern complementary to the dimensions of the
coupling loops. Prescribed winding configurations are used
to reduce the effects of extraneous inductive coupling in
the device. Depending on the relative position between the
read head and the scale, the receiver windings inductively
couple to the second loop portions of the coupling loops to
various degrees. A compact, high accuracy, high resolution
inductive position sensor results. Low power operation is
possible.

Abstract: The motor structure, which has a laminated structure of
plural plates 1 and also has a stator pole assembly 10 formed with
a component mounting portion, comprises a synthetic resin layer
6 which encloses and covers the plural plates 1 while holding the
plates in a closely contacted state, overhang portions (8, 9)
integral with the synthetic resin layer 6 and which serve to not
only hold but also position motor components, and an insulating
film 7' which covers portions not coated with the synthetic resin.
While the synthetic resin layer is formed on the surface of the
lamination stack, pressure is applied to the laminated plates as
constituents of the stator pole assembly from both upper and
lower surfaces of the laminate. This application of pressure is
performed using plate pressing projections formed in the mold.

clamping component (42) coupled to the base member (62,

response to a first force applied in a first direction,
and the first cleat clamping component (30) moves
relative to the base member (62, 64) in response to a
second force applied in a second direction that is
different from the first direction. A resistance
mechanism (132, 136) applies a particular resistive
force to movement of the first cleat clamping component
(30) when the first cleat clamping component (30) moves
in response to the first force, but the resistance
mechanism (132, 136) applies a different resistive
force to movement of the first cleat clamping component
(30) when the first cleat clamping component (30) moves
in response to the second force.

Abstract: A connector has a coupling nut 4' rotatable on a body 1' and lockable by means of a
locking ring 10' mounted on the nut. When slid axially to its locking position, the locking
ring 10' engages splines 12' and 3' on both the nut 4' and the body 1' to prevent relative
rotation. A circular spring 20' carried in a groove 21' on the nut engages behind a vertical
wall 43 on the inner surface of the locking ring 10' to prevent the locking ring being
unlocked. The locking ring 10' is unlocked by pushing a release ring 30 axially into the
locking ring so that a ramp surface 33 on the release ring pushes the spring 20' in and allows
the locking ring to be slid back.

Abstract: A method of separating the detection of text/line
jaggedness via a resolution enhancement filter from the
actual operation of smoothing image jaggedness or flaws is
presented. The advantage of this system is that jaggedness
detection can be easily done via established resolution
enhancement techniques on a binary signal, but the
smoothing can operate on a full color 24 or 32 bit system.
This method also performs resolution enhancement or
smoothing operations on multi-bit pixel depth data wherein
separation is first conducted to detect image jaggedness
and, secondly, smoothing operations are performed. In one
embodiment of the invention, input data can be comprised of
a byte stream (11) connected to a mask FIFO (20) through an
ink filter (60), and to data FIFOs (21-24). Pre-filters in
this case are connected to additional FIFOs and a
resolution enhancement filter (30) to receive a jaggedness
detection signal. Processed data is then passed to a
buffer where the resolution enhancement filter provides a
signal to a halftoner (45) indicating a switch has occurred
in the halftone structure of the image. The halftoner
processes the data from buffer under control of the
resolution enhancement filter and eventually passes the
data to the IOT.
