Abstract: A method for replacing a defective block with a good block
in an optical disk allows data recording operations to be
effectively performed. The method temporarily stores data that
would have otherwise been recorded in a defective area of an
optical disc in a temporary buffer. The method then stores the
data in the temporary buffer in a spare area of the optical disc
after the normal data recording operation is completed, or if
the amount of data in the buffer exceeds a predetermined memory
capacity. The method can continuously and quickly perform a
general data recording operation, effectively avoid a system
load increase due to frequent track movements on an optical
disc, and appropriately record real-time data without the loss
of data.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for precisely detecting very small distances
between a measurement probe (128) and a surface, and more particularly to a
proximity sensor using a constant gas flow and sensing a mass flow rate
within a pneumatic bridge to detect very small distances. Within the apparatus
the use of a flow restrictor (120,122) and/or snubber (110) made of porous material and/or a
mass flow rate controller (106) reduces turbulence and acoustic noise
and thus enables detection of very small distances in the nanometer to sub-nanometer
range. An application in lithography is thus foreseen. In a further embodiment a
measurement channel of a proximity sensor is connected to multiple
measurement branches, thereby providing multiplexing of probes, used eg. for topography mapping.

Abstract: A communication apparatus and a communication method
prevent responses from being simultaneously received from
two or more communicating parties. A first NFC apparatus
transmits data for requesting IDs, and acquires IDs sent
from second and third NFC apparatuses in reply to the
request. After acquiring the IDs of the second and third
NFC apparatuses, the first NFC apparatus transmits data that
includes their IDs as the data for the second and third NFC
apparatuses. If the first NFC apparatus cannot properly
acquire the IDs of the second and third NFC apparatuses,
then it sends the data for requesting their IDs again. Upon
receipt of the request for the IDs, the second and third NFC
apparatuses generate their own IDs by using random numbers
and send the generated IDs. If the second and third NFC
apparatuses receive the request for their IDs again, then
they re-generate their own IDs by using random numbers, and
send the re-generated IDs again. The present invention can
be applied to, for example, an IC card system.

The colloidal particles are transferred into the solution of the polymer preferably by mixing the dispersion with the solution or by means of phase transfer. The membrane material is preferably obtained by removing the solvent by evaporation or by a suitable non-solvent. Besides the composite membrane materials and the preparation methods, the use of the above membrane materials is claimed as ionomeric membranes with high overall performance in high tempreature, especially hydrogen, and in indirect methanol fuel cells and with decreased methanol crossover in direct methanol fuel cells.
