Abstract: Disclosed is a method and device for controlling distribution and use of a digital work stored together with an attached usage right information on a record carrier. The attached usage right information is encrypted or verified by using a hidden information which is changed at every change of said usage right information. The hidden information may be an encryption key used for encrypting the usage right information, or a checksum of a data block containing the usage right information. Thus, a 'copy and restore attack' is not successful, since it will lead to a mismatch between the hidden information and the restored usage right information.

Abstract: The present invention is to accommodate a large number of users required in a digital radio communication system and to prevent communication quality from deteriorating. The present invention is to prevent the occurrence of a delay by adding a process for restricting packet assignment for a call having low communication quality. When the average DRC value is equal to or smaller than a threshold, assigned slots are thinned out to improve communication quality for radio terminals close to cell boundaries and to increase the number of radio terminals accommodated. As a method for thinning out assigned slots, packets received from an upper level unit of a radio base station are, for example, discarded before transmission as long as the lowest limit sound quality is maintained. With this operation, the lowest limit sound quality is ensured.

Abstract: An SOFC fuel cell stack system including means for recycling a portion of the SOFC anode tailgas into the inlet of a hydrocarbon reformer supplying reformate to the stack. Recycle means includes a pump. A first heat exchanger ahead of the pump cools the tail gas via heat exchange with incoming cathode air, allowing use of an inexpensive pump. To facilitate endothermic or steam reforming of hydrocarbons, CO 2 , and water in the later portions of the reformer, heat is added back into the tailgas recycle by installing a second heat exchanger or an electric heater downstream of the pump. Air and fuel being supplied to the reformer also are preheated, and reforming air flow may be increased to increase exothermic activity in the early portions of the reformer to permit recycling of large percentages of tailgas such that greater overall reformer efficiencies are achievable.
