Abstract: A cooled rotor assembly for a gas turbine engine includes rotor blades (48) and a plurality of cover plates (86a) retained in the blade attachment slots (34) of a rotor disk (30). Each blade has a platform (46) with a trailing edge (58), and each cover plate includes at least one conduit (120, 126) for drawing leakage air from a plenum (102) in front of the disk and impinging that air against the platform trailing edges (58) to cool the trailing edges. In the preferred embodiment, each conduit (120) is defined by the rear face of a blade root (40) and a groove (122) cast into the cover plate. The invention makes productive use of leakage air by using that air to cool the platform trailing edges rather than allowing it to flow unbeneficially into the engine gaspath (24) in the vicinity of the platform leading edges (56).

Abstract: This invention relates to an electron tube which stabilizes the orbits of electrons accelerated and focused by an electron lens and has a structure for effectively suppressing noise generated due to discharge. This electron tube has, at two ends of an insulating container, a cathode electrode (3) and an anode electrode (6) which constitute the electron lens. Particularly, in the electron tube, one end of the cathode electrode (3) and a photocathode (16) are supported by a conductive member (2,4) arranged at one end of the insulating container (5), and the cathode electrode is electrically connected to the photocathode. The cathode electrode (3) partially extends to a stem (10) along the inner wall (502) of the insulating container (5) and is tapered toward the stem so that the distal end portion of the cathode electrode is separated from the inner wall of the insulating container. Therefore, the electron tube realizes, regardless of the size of the insulating container, a structure for preventing the insulating container from being charged and suppressing discharge followed by light emission between the cathode electrode and the insulating container.

Abstract: Provided is a superior portable information processing apparatus,
having a detachable liquid crystal display panel/input tablet, whereof
the liquid crystal display panel/input tablet can be detached from the
apparatus even when the main body is powered on, i.e., is being operated.
The portable information processing apparatus comprises: support means
for detachably supporting a liquid crystal display panel on a main body;
detection means for detecting detachment/attachment of the liquid crystal
display panel; and first and second connectors for providing a connection
for video signal lines and a power line that connect the liquid crystal
display panel and the main body. When the liquid crystal display panel
is detached from the main body, the first and the second connectors can
communicate with each other via a cable. When the detection means
detects that the liquid crystal display panel has been detached, the
output of video signals from the main body to the display panel is
disabled, and then the power supply to the liquid crystal display panel
is halted (local suspend). As a result, the disorderly open state of the
signal output line and the power line to the display panel can be
avoided, and the deterioration of hardware can be prevented. In parallel
to the local suspend operation, the main body of the apparatus saves data
required for the resumption of a task, and halts the operation of the
entire system (system suspend). As a result of the system suspend
function, a state of a processed application can be stored immediately
before the liquid crystal display panel was removed, and when the display
panel is reattached, the halted application is smoothly resumed.

Abstract: A digital camera having a camera body and a lens assembly
within an imaging unit which is rotatably connected to the
camera body. Rotation of the imaging unit containing the lens
assembly with respect to the position of the camera body
causes the flash within the camera body to follow the
direction at which the lens assembly is aimed. If the camera
has a self-portrait mode in which the lens assembly can be
aimed backwards at the user of the camera but the flash cannot
be aimed backwards due to constraints of the camera body or if
the flash cannot cover the complete angular range of the lens,
a mechanism is utilized to couple the movement of the lens and
the flash over a limited range of movement of the lens.
Springs, concentric gears attached by springs, or a clutch
mechanism may be utilized to selectively couple the flash with
the lens rotation. By separating the flash from the lens, the
red-eye phenomena will be reduced.

information from being copied illegally. 
     A hash function and a service
key are stored in advance in an EEPROM of a DVD player
serving as a source. In an EEPROM of a personal computer
(PC) serving as a sink, its ID and a
license key are stored beforehand. The DVD player requests
the PC to transmit the ID. The DVD player then applies the
hash function to data resulting from concatenation of the
ID with the service key to generate a license key (= hash
(ID ∥ service_key)). Subsequently, the DVD player
generates a source side common session key and encrypts the
session key by using the generated license key. Then, the
DVD player transmits the encrypted source side common
session key to the PC. The PC decrypts the encrypted
source side common session key by using the license key
stored in its EEPROM to produce a sink side common session
key which has a value equal to that of the source side
common session key.

Title: Vertical cavity surface-emitting laser with separate optical and current guides
Inventor: CHIROVSKY LEO MARIA
IPC: H01S5/183
Filed: 1998-12-11
Abstract: A VCSEL comprises separate optical and current guides that provide unique
forms of drive current and transverse mode confinement, respectively. In one
embodiment, the optical guide comprises of an intracavity high refractive index mesa
disposed transverse to the cavity resonator axis and a multi-layered dielectric (i.e., non-epitaxial)
mirror overlaying the mesa. In another embodiment, the current guide
comprises an annular first electrode which laterally surrounds the mesa but has an inside
diameter which is greater than that of an ion-implantation-defined current aperture. The
current guide causes current to flow laterally from the first electrode along a first path
segment which is essentially perpendicular to the resonator axis, then vertically from the
first segment along a second path segment essentially parallel to that axis, and finally
through the current aperture and the active region to a second electrode. The dielectric
mirror is deposited only after the formation of the guides in order to facilitate their
fabrication.
