Abstract: A method and system for managing accounts that control access to resources of different providers. The account management system allows providers to use a common logon procedure through an account management server. The account management system dynamically creates accounts when users request to access resources. To access to a resource, a user provides their credentials (   e.g.    , user identifier and password) through a certain location (   e.g.    , client computer) and identifies the resource (   e.g.    , application). The account management system determines whether an account has already been created for those credentials. If not, the account management system authenticates the user, creates a new account for those credentials (   i.e.    , registration), and associates the identified resource with the account.

Abstract: A printer is provided which is capable of shortening time required to complete overlay
printing. The printer includes a job controlling section to divide received data into a printer
language-dependent portion being dependent on a printer language and print job information
being not dependent on a printer language, a form controlling section to produce form bit-mapped
data based on form information, and a bit-mapped controlling section to produce bit-mapped
data representing non-form based on a result from analysis of a printer language-dependent
portion and to perform overlay printing on a form and a non-form by overlaying
bit-mapped data on form bit-mapped data. Since control on overlay printing is performed in
accordance with form information in printing job information, the printer can be free from
constraint of a printer language.

Abstract: A laser device employs a laser slab having an ionic layer and a nonionic layer,
joined through an optical-quality interface. The laser slab has a trapezoidal cross-section
in a direction perpendicular to the optical-quality interface. Thermal
conductivity away from the ionic layer is enhanced through the thinness of the ionic
layer and through the use of a heatsink attached to the ionic layer. Optical power input
through the nonionic layer and into the ionic layer is further increased through the use
of the trapezoidal cross section.

Abstract: A new synchronous Partial Response Maximum Likelihood (PRML) servo is
provided for a high track-per-inch disk-drive system. To increase the data capacity in
hard disk drives (HDD), one can shorten the servo format and/or increase the track
density. The new servo system has circuits that allow a high-performance and accurate
system for positioning the read-write heads. The major circuits include burst
demodulation, Viterbi detection, timing synchronization, and spin-up search. A highly
linear discrete-fourier-transform (DFT) burst-demodulation circuit can demodulate
high-density and low-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) position bursts. The Viterbi detection
circuit includes a sync-mark detector and a Viterbi detector that are matched to at least
two sets of Gray code ( e.g., 1/4 rate and 4/12 rate) and pruned accordingly. The timing
synchronization circuit includes phase restart and interpolating timing recovery (ITR)
circuits to implement a fully digital timing recovery. The spin-up search circuit may
include a robust multistage search circuit that detects a preamble and/or a DC field to
search for an initial servo sector with a low error rate during spin up. In one example,
the servo system samples each dibit 4 times throughout the entire servo sector uses
PR4 equalization. The relatively low number of samples required for the system allows
the servo format density to be near the channel bandwidth while increasing the SNR
performance.

electrolyte coating is on the sensing surface and then
again after the electrolyte coating is removed.

Abstract: In the present invention a twin MONOS metal bit line array is read and
programmed using a three dimensional programming method with X, Y and Z
dimensions. The word line address is the X address. The control gate line address
is a function of the X and Z addresses, and the bit line address is a function of the
Y and Z addresses. Because the bit lines and the control gate lines of the memory
array are orthogonal a single cell can be erased with an adjacent memory, having
the same selected bit and control gate lines, being inhibited from erase by
application of the proper voltages to unselected word, control gate and bit lines.

Abstract: A system reads an identifier from a hand of cards to identify the cards. For example, the system can read an identifier from a pair of cards forming the initial hand in blackjack, where the one card is face up and the other card is face down. The system determines the value of a hand of cards form the read identifiers. For example, the system can determine a value of an initial hand of two cards in blackjack, while only one card is face up. The system can inform a dealer of the value, or status based on value, of the hand. The system can determine whether cards forming a hand of cards are authenticate by validating the cards based on the read identifier. The system can determine if the cards forming the hand of cards are in an expected sequence based on a knowledge of the initial sequence of cards in a deck.
