Abstract: Unique encoding of each of a substantial number of distribution video copies of a program such as a motion picture is produced by altering the images slightly at several pre-selected locations in the program in a uniquely coded pattern. Suspected counterfeits can be compared with an unaltered master video to determine the encoded number for the copy which was counterfeited to enable tracking the source of the counterfeit. Preferably, each frame of several whole scenes is altered at each location so as to make the alterations largely undetectable by counterfeiters but easily detected by comparison with an unaltered master video. Artifacts are inserted in patterns representing a unique number for the program. These supplement the encoding by alteration of images and gives added means to aid in tracing counterfeit copies.

Abstract: A superheater in a power plant that superheats steam to operation con-ditions exceeding an operating limit of an as-sociated steam-producing boiler. The super--heater combusts oxygen and fuel with cooled recycled combustion gas to produce a CO2--rich combustion product gas stream at a fixed temperature. The combustion gas is used as the heat transfer fluid in the superheater's heat exchanger. The CO2-rich flue gas stream allows for efficient capture of sub-stantially pure CO2. The superheater may be retrofitted to an existing power plant as a separate component, external to the boiler.  The plant may thus have its electrical power output increased, while its overall CO2 emis-sions per nit of generated power is decreased, even when inexpensive, readily-available fossil fuels are used as the primary fuel for filing the boiler and/or the superheater.

Abstract: To achieve a support for sitting or lying individuals who have difficulty in moving, the problems associated with this, such as decubitus, may be remedied by a support device according to the invention, in which a large number of cylinders (4) are arranged, each having a piston and a piston rod of its own which carries a pressure plate (3). When liquid is discharged and liquid is simultaneously supplied to an adjacent cylinder (4), the blood (9) will flow directly from the one pressure plate (B) to the adjacent pressure plate (A) and is thereby conveyed through the shortest possible path in the body (8). This pattern is repeated for all the pressure plates, and this provides an unprecedentedly effective flow of blood to remedy the distress which is associated with a more or less permanent sitting or lying posture.
