Abstract: In a method for implementing traceable electronic cash, 
a user US sends a bank BK a product N of prime numbers P and 
Q, a prime number L and his real name ID U , and the bank BK 
generates a pseudonym I corresponding to the real name ID U  
and keeps the correspondence between the real name ID U  and 
the pseudonym I secret. The bank BK uses a signature 
function  Ω = D eB (N,L,I)  to attach a signature to information 
composed of the above-mentioned N, L and I and sends the 
user US the signed information Ω as information containing a 
license. The user US authentication information X from the 
N and a random number R and sends the bank BK information Z 
obtained by performing blind signature preprocessing for 
information (X,B) with a function F eC  and has the information 
Z signed by the bank BK with a signature function D eC (Z) to 
obtain electronic cash C. When the user US abuses the 
electronic cash C, the bank BK follows a court order to 
reveal the correspondence between the real name ID U  and 
pseudo name of the user US and trace the electronic cash 
spent.

Abstract: In this invention, when a command indicating movement to a land or groove is output while a beam condensed by an objective lens tracks a groove or land, the polarity is inverted, and a jump pulse is generated. Tracking servo control is stopped during generation of the jump pulse, thereby changing the tracking position from the groove or land to the land to groove. With this operation, the tracking position can be accurately changed from the groove or land to the land or groove for an optical disk (53) having concentrical or spiral grooves and lands as recording tracks. Also in this invention, when a switching position is detected while the beam condensed by the objective lens tracks the groove or land, the polarity is inverted. At the same time, tracking servo control is stopped to change the tracking position from the groove or land to the land or groove. With this operation, the tracking position can be accurately changed from the groove or land to the land or groove in an optical disk (54) in which lands and grooves are alternately formed in units of rounds and linked together.

Abstract: A multi-layer pipe has an innermost layer formed of a butene polymer composition. At least one other layer is formed of a polyolefin resin composition comprising (A) 95-5 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin, (B) 5-95 parts by weight of a filler, and (C) 0.1-10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of components (A) and (B) combined of a modified polyolefin resin. This multi-layer pipe undergoes minimal elongation by heat so that it is free from troubles by thermal deformation even when high temperature fluid is passed therethrough, has high rigidity, and is thus suitable as plumbing for cold and hot water.

Abstract: A process for positioning a mask (M) relative to a workpiece (W) which can be used for step and repeat exposure. A device for executing the process is also provided. The device includes a reflective component (4a) positioned on a workpiece carrier (4) in a position removed from the workpiece attachment site. Actinic light from an exposure light irradiation device (1) is projected onto the mask and alignment marks (MAM) provided on the mask are projected onto the reflective component. The alignment mark images are detected, their relative positions are stored, and emission of the actinic light terminated. The workpiece carrier, on which a workpiece is placed, is moved into a position in which the mask alignment marks are projected onto the workpiece. Furthermore, non-actinic light is emitted onto the alignment marks (WAM) of the workpiece, the workpiece alignment marks are detected and their relative positions are determined. Then the workpiece and/or the mask are/is moved such that the mask and workpiece alignment marks come to rest on top of one another.

Abstract: The sections of hose comprise one or more layers of paper, these being erected at the end from the flat-folded position to form a square base. The side portions so formed are folded so as to overlap, and are glued together. After coating with plastics, these are heated and pressed together to glue them to each other. The plastics, particularly in sheet-form, can be applied to the entire outside surfaces of the hose-sections. These can be transported with their erected ends in the sideways direction, the areas to be glued together being pulled over heated plates or blades. To fold the side-sections inwards a fixed heated straight-edge can be used, with fixed guiding and pressure bars above it.

Abstract: A communication device locates a wireless service provider in a multi-service provider environment using a frequency band search schedule. The frequency band search schedule has a first or home band and a several other frequency bands in a predetermined order. The order of the frequency bands may be programmed by the user or by a home service provider over the air. The communication device searches for an acceptable service provider by examining the home band and then the other bands listed in the frequency band search schedule. The bands are examined in the order specified by the frequency band search schedule. An acceptable service provider is identified by comparing the identity of a service provider specified by an identifier received from a band being examined with a list of acceptable service providers.

Abstract: A fire detection system provides multiple levels of signal processing so as to minimize the effects of noise from various sources. In a first level of processing any DC bias in signals received from detectors is removed. In a second level of processing, signal values from current sample times for a given detector are compared to one or more prior sample values from that detector for purposes of removing large transient pulses due to dust particles and the like. In a third level of processing, high frequency noise, perhaps from electrical sources, is filtered from the representation of the signal. Finally, the fully processed signal value is compared to one or more threshold values so as to make a determination as to the presence or absence of a pre-alarm or a fire condition.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for publishing and receiving events to a network (120). A plurality of "publisher" entities publish information and a plurality of "subscriber" entities request and use the information. Publishers (102, 110, 116) and subscribers (104, 112, 118) are connected to each other through a network (120). The network (120) is a "store and forward" network whose routing is "content-based." The basic quanta of information is called an "event." Publishers (102, 110, 116) publish events and subscribers (104, 112, 118) subscribe to events that match criteria defined by the subscriber (104, 112, 118). Publication and subscription are performed asynchronously. Publishers (102, 110, 116) and subscribers (104, 112, 118) do not have direct knowledge of each other. The system (100) receives a published event from a publisher (102, 110, 116) and routes the event to all appropriate subscribers (104, 112, 118). Each subscriber (104, 112, 118) is guaranteed to receive all events published on the system (100) if, and only if, they match the subscription criteria specified by the subscriber. A legacy data base can be added to the network by way of a data base connector, which can be a publisher, a subscriber, or both.

plurality of photovoltaic elements formed on the first

formed on the photovoltaic element set, wherein the

element is arranged. 
     A second solar cell module includes at least a

the base material, a photovoltaic element set formed on
the first insulating material and including a plurality
of photovoltaic elements and a wiring material for
electrically connecting the photovoltaic elements
formed on the first insulating material, and a second
insulating material formed on the photovoltaic element
set, wherein the solar cell module has a bent portion
in a portion where the wiring material is arranged. 
     The base material has an L or W shape, and so an
optimum raised angle can be freely designed by taking
account of the place and the gradient of installation.
This increases the amount of power generation. At the
same time, this increases the heat collection
efficiency and particularly helps recover the optical
deterioration of a non-single-crystal semiconductor. 
By incorporating the solar cell module with this shape
into a heat collecting panel, a hybrid roof panel which
generates power and simultaneously effectively uses
heat is realized.
