Abstract: La présente invention concerne un système de radiothérapie ionisante intravasculaire comprenant un dispositif à rayonnement et un fil-guide équipé de marqueurs radio-opaques de façon à favoriser un repositionnement précis de la radiosource le long du site à traiter. Les marqueurs radio-opaques sont séparés les uns des autres d'une longueur L qui correspond à la distance entre 50% des points dose dans les régions de décroissance de la dose. Cela permet un chevauchement partiel des doses lorsque la radiosource est disposée en tandem contre chaque marqueur radio-opaque. De préférence, le chevauchement ne concerne que les régions de décroissance, ce qui permet une exposition plus uniforme et plus complète au rayonnement sur toute la longueur du site à traiter.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'attribution d'une autorisation d'un dispositif à clé et à verrou comprenant les étapes suivantes : un premier dispositif utilisateur (UD1) et un premier dispositif système (SD1) utilisés dans un premier niveau d'un système de verrou, tel qu'un fabricant, sont créés. Une première clé de chiffrement (clé1) est stockée dans le premier dispositif utilisateur et le premier dispositif système. Lorsqu'un dispositif utilisateur doit être envoyé vers un second niveau de système de verrou, tel qu'un serrurier, un procédé d'authentification est effectué entre le premier dispositif utilisateur et le premier dispositif système au moyen de la première clé de chiffrement stockée. Si le procédé d'authentification se déroule avec succès, une opération logicielle est effectuée par le premier dispositif système, par lequel la première clé de chiffrement stockée dans le premier dispositif utilisateur est remplacée par une seconde clé de chiffrement (clé2). Cette seconde clé de chiffrement est stockée dans un second système et les dispositifs utilisateur (SD2, UD2, UD3) utilisés dans le second niveau de système de verrou, rendant ainsi le premier dispositif utilisateur utilisable avec le second système et les dispositifs utilisateur. Ceci empêche l'utilisation non autorisée de clés et de verrous.

Abstract: A disc-shaped optical recording medium which prevents unauthorized copy to protect a digital content and a reproduction limit method thereof. There is provided a CD that can be reproduced by an ordinary audio CD player but cannot be read out by high-speed reproduction of a CD-ROM drive belonging to a computer. The CD (10) has a clam hole (14) formed at a position shifted from the center position with respect to the outer diameter of a disc substrate (12), so that the center of gravity of the disc substrate (12) is located at a position shifted from a rotation center of the clamp hole by a predetermined amount. Moreover, paint (16) is applied as an eccentric load to the label surface (10A) of the CD (10). Since the center of gravity and the rotation center of the CD (10) are eccentric, although it is possible to maintain stable rotation not affected by eccentricity at a low rotation speed, during a high-speed rotation, it is impossible to maintain stable rotation, disabling reproduction, which prevents unauthorized copy and protects a digital content.
