Abstract: An intended image data structure (202) is
assumed to have a color information storing region (203)
and a pixel information storing region (206) as its
components. First, consider that the color information
storing region within the image data structure is divided
into a plurality of subregions (401, 402), and a
corresponding bit value (501) is defined for each of the
subregions. Next, an index number stored for each of
pixels within the pixel information storing region is
changed to an index number (502) belonging to a subregion
corresponding to a bit value of information to be embedded.
In this way, one bit or more of information can be embedded
for each pixel. Thus, a large amount of information can
be embedded into a small-size image composed of simple
shapes and having a small number of colors without
degrading the image quality, and the information can be
extracted from the image in which it has been embedded.

Abstract: A pneumatic tyre comprises a pair of axially spaced
bead portions (4) adapted for a 15-degree-taper rim,
a bead core (5) disposed in each bead portion (4),
and a carcass (6) turned up around the bead core (5).
The bead core (5) is made of a single bead wire
wound into a substantially polygonal cross sectional
shape so that windings of the bead wire form
radially piled-up wire arrays (L) which are inclined
at an angle α of from 5 to 25 degrees with respect
to the tyre axial direction (BL). The number (n) of
windings of each wire array (L) gradually increases
from a radially innermost wire array (L1) to a
maximum wire array (LX) of which the number of
windings (n-max) is maximum so that the polygonal
cross sectional shape has a substantially
trapezoidal region as a radially inner part. The
width (W1) of the radially innermost wire array (L1)
is in a range of from 0.4 to 0.7 times the width
(W2) of the maximum wire array. The height (H) of 
the wire arrays measured from the radially innermost
wire array (L1) to a radially outermost wire array
(Lm) is in a range of from 0.8 to 2.0 times the
width (W1) of the radially innermost wire array
(L1).

Abstract: In a rear holder-attached connector (1), a
relatively-thick protective rib (10) with a width
(B) projects outwardly from opposite sides of a
housing (2), and is disposed between upper and
lower terminal receiving chambers (3). This width
(B) is larger than a width of rear holders (20a,
20b), and this rib (10) protects the rear holders
(20a, 20b) so that these rear holders,
provisionally retained on the housing (2) within a
metal-mold assembly, will not be discharged from
the metal-mold assembly to drop, and will not be
disengaged from the housing even upon contact with
another housing. The provision of the protective
rib (10) also serves to provide a good flow of a
resin poured from the rear side of the housing (2)
during the molding operation, and therefore thin
partition walls, forming the terminal receiving
chambers (3), can be positively molded, thereby
enhancing the yield of the molded housings.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for prioritizing the use of
multifunctional printing system's basic processing
resources to allow a high priority job to gain immediate
access to a shared resource. The printing system employs
a controller with an improved job contention manager (JCM).
A plurality of basic resources of the printing system are
provided with a queue. One or more job services, at
desired times, provides a first signal to the JCM to carry
out a sub-job of a given job. The signal for each of the
sub-jobs includes information about the respective sub-job
and its priority. Responsive to the signal from the job
service the JCM adds a corresponding basic resource sub-job
to the queues of each basic resource which the added sub-job
will require to perform the sub-job. The resources are
reassigned by the JCM according to the priority of the
added sub-job in the queues. If the added sub-job is the
highest priority sub-job in the queues then responsive to
the reassignment of the basic resources processing of the
sub-jobs is initiated.

Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a nitride system III-V compound layer
which improves the quality and facilitates the manufacturing process and a
method of manufacturing a substrate employing the method of manufacturing a
nitride system III-V compound layer. A first growth layer (31) is grown on a
growth base (10) at a growth rate, in a vertical direction to the growth surface,
higher than 10µm/h. Subsequently, a second growth layer (32) is grown at a
growth rate, in a vertical direction to the growth surface, lower than 10µm/h.
The first growth layer (31) grown at the higher growth rate has a rough surface.
However, the second growth layer (32) is grown at the lower growth rate than that
used for growing the first growth layer (31), so that depressions of the surface of
the first growth layer (31) are filled and thus the surface of the second growth
layer (32) is flattened. Further, growth takes place laterally so as to fill the
depressions of the surface of the first growth layer (31). Thus, dislocation
extending from the first growth layer (31) bends laterally and density of
dislocation propagating to the surface of the second growth layer (32) is greatly
lowered.

Abstract: A system, process and computer readable medium for providing purchasing incentives to a plurality of retailers from a central clearing location. The plurality of retailers transmit customer identifiers and, optionally, descriptions of customer purchases to a central incentive system via a communications system. The central incentive system determines purchasing incentives based on the customer identifiers and stored information and then transmits the purchasing incentives that have been associated with the customer identifiers to the originating retail store via the communications system. The Point of Sale system in the retail store determines if the customer qualifies for an incentive and will transmit data defining applied incentives to the central incentive system. The central incentive system may transfer funds, which cover the cost of the incentive, from an account of the incentive's sponsor to an account belonging to the retailer providing the incentive. Alternative embodiments will determine qualification for incentives and apply them at the central incentive system. One embodiment will locate a central incentive system at a financial services provider and use existing communications from retailers to the financial services provider to implement the communications system.
