Abstract: The present invention discloses a position detection device and
method for use in a plane surface to determine the position of a
capacitive coupling device. Two arrays of row and column conductive
wires form two layers on a substrate, said two layers are isolated by an
insulated layer; between each two row wires there is a common row wire;
between each two column wires there is a common column wire. Said common
row and common column wire are connected to a common row terminal and
common column terminal respectively. AC signal is applied to two
adjacent wires sequentially to determine point P is between row k and
row k+1. Then AC signal is applied to row k only, and then aplied to row
k+1 only, to determine point P is near row k or row k+1. Finally, apply
AC signal to common rows and then to all rows to determine point P is
closer to row wire or common wire. Then the above process (1) for the
columns. By combining the above processes the position in a
two-dimensional space is determined. This method increases the accuracy
of detection with less conductive row wires and column wires.

Abstract: An information recording medium for recording main
information and auxiliary information is provided. The
auxiliary information is recorded on the information
recording medium in a manner that edge positions of the pits
or the recording marks indicating the main information are
shifted either in a phase advancing direction or in a phase
delaying direction along the track direction. A
predetermined frequency is used to determine whether the
edge position is shifted in the phase advancing direction
or in the phase delaying direction in order to record the
auxiliary information. The predetermined frequency is
substantially consistently lower than 1/2 of a reference
frequency of a recording clock for creating the pits or the
recording marks and is higher than a response frequency of
a PLL for generating a reproduction clock for reproducing
the main information.

Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works. The present invention
allows the owner of a digital work to attach usage rights (1450) to their work. The usage rights
define how the individual digital work may be used and distributed (1451). Instances of usage
rights are defined using a flexible and extensible usage rights grammar. Conceptually, a right
in the usage rights grammar is a label associated with a predetermined behavior and conditions
to exercising the right. The behavior of a usage right is embodied in a predetermined set
(1452) of usage transactions steps. The usage transaction steps further check all conditions
(1453-1457) which must be satisfied before the right may be exercised. These usage transaction
steps define a protocol for requesting the exercise of a right and the carrying out of a right.

Abstract: Rails (10,12) are welded end to end by a friction-welding
process analogous to forging. After cutting off the ends
of the rails (10,12) to form a gap, the rails are
secured in alignment. A disc (24) of steel compatible
with that of the rails is rotated at high speed and
gradually introduced into the gap between the ends of the
rails (10,12), from above. Friction causes the temperature to
rise to above red hot and the disc shears (or is caused
to shear) when the temperature gets sufficiently hot.
The rotation of the disc (24) stops, while the rail (10,12) ends
and disc (24) are forced together while the joint welds and
cools. Preferably the rails (10,12) are urged together with
jacks (18) while the rotating disc (24) is between then, and
after the rotation stops, to ensure tension in the rails
(10,12) and to ensure forging occurs. The excess disc (24)
material is then cut away, and the weld area is ground
smooth. A weld of good metallurgical quality is thereby
achieved.

Abstract: A laser structure is provided with two current confining layers of a material
that is subject to oxidation in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The laser
structure is shaped to expose edges of the current confining layers to permit
the edges to be exposed to the oxidizing agent. The current confining layers
are oxidized selectively to create electrically resistive material at the
oxidized portions (100, 104) and by the oxidized and electrically resistive
portions in order to direct current from one electrical contact pad (14,26) by
passing through a preslected portion of an active region (20) of the laser.
The laser structure can be a vertical cavity surface emitting laser. The
device achieves the current confining and directing function without the
need to use ion bombardment or implantation to provide the current
confining structure within the body of the laser.

Abstract: A fluidized bed (6) furnace (4) holds inert particles with a density and grading exceeding that of the substrate. Compressed air (16) is injected (14) into the bed, fluidizing and mixing the particles. The bed is held at 650degreesC to burn the organic particles, whilst the substrate is fed in. Flue gases (26) from the bed are filtered (8) (cyclones), recovering the filtration substrate particles. The substrate is introduced into a furnace zone with an overall downward flow of particles. It is introduced at the edge of the bed, below its upper surface (6a). It enters at close to three quarters of the bed height. Fuel gas (18) is also injected (20). The furnace burner (22) is above the bed. Grading of the inert particles of the bed is 5-50 times that of the filtration substrate particles. Temperature in the furnace at the upper surface of the fluidized bed, exceeds 850degreesC. Oxygen content of gases from the bed is at least 6%, on a dry basis. The feed system (2) is thermally-insulated from the furnace. Substrate particles are filtered (cyclones) in two successive stages. The particles from filtration are recovered in accordance with their grading.
