Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetoresistance
device having a relatively high magnetoresistance
ratio, also enabling scale-down and low-current
driving, and may cause less deterioration of recording
storage performance. 
     It is a magnetoresistance device comprising a
substrate and a multi-layer film having a first
magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, a non-magnetic
layer, a third magnetic layer and a fourth magnetic
layer which are superposed on the substrate in this
order, and the first magnetic layer stands
exchange-coupled with the second magnetic layer, and
the third magnetic layer with the fourth magnetic
layer, and both the first magnetic layer and the fourth
magnetic layer have a magnetic anisotropy in the
film-plane normal direction.

Abstract: A distinctive optical signature permits a fluidic
medical diagnostic device to measure an analyte
concentration or a property of whole blood, particularly
the coagulation time, only after first insuring that a
whole blood sample has been introduced into the device.
A suitable device has at one end a sample port for
introducing a sample and at the other end a bladder for
drawing the sample to a measurement area. By requiring
a meter, used in conjunction with the device, to first
detect the distinctive optical signature, a sample is
drawn to the measurement area only if it is whole blood.
In that case, a channel carries the sample from the
sample port to the measurement area, and a stop
junction, between the measurement area and bladder,
halts the sample flow. The meter measures a physical
property of the blood sample - typically, optical
transmittance - after it has interacted with a reagent
in the measurement area.

Abstract: A method for using a Synchronization Interface in a computer system compliant with
a CORBA Object Transaction Service or a Java Transaction API (such as Java 2 Platform
Enterprise Edition Reference Implementation) to perform internal state clean up in containers
associated with a completed transaction. First, a synchronization object is registered for each
new transaction in a container with a Transaction Manager. The Transaction Manager detects
a completion of the transaction and then invokes an "after_completion" operation (method)
on the synchronization object. This notifies each container involved in the completed
transaction to perform internal memory space clean up. Thus, the method uses an existing
Synchronization Interface mechanism to perform internal memory state clean up in
containers, without adding additional communication mechanisms.

The method also includes the step of retrieving retail history information associated with the customer from a customer profile database. The method further includes the step of displaying item information associated with the item for purchase on a first portion of the display monitor in response to generation of the item-entered control signal. Moreover, the method includes the step of displaying a customer-specific retail message based on the retail history information on a second portion of the display monitor. The step of displaying the customer-specific retail message is performed contemporaneously with the step of displaying the item information associated with the item for purchase. A retail terminal is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bioabsorbable interference screw having a tapered profile which extends along substantially
the entire length of the screw. The tapered profile makes the screw easy to insert while providing
superior fixation resulting from an enlarged proximal end. Upon insertion, the screw engages cortical
bone at the back end of the bone tunnel and fills all but 5-10 mm. of the tunnel, thereby providing
increased fixation strength while also promoting fast healing. The screw includes a head provided with
a specially designed drive socket with radially extending slots at its outer end for receiving
corresponding protrusions on the shaft of screwdriver. The drive socket optimizes the torque capacity
of the screw. To maintain wall thickness, the socket has a taper corresponding to the tapered outer
profile of the screw. The taper of the socket also permits easy insertion of the tip and shaft of the driver
into the screw.

Abstract: In making use of an add/drop multiplexer for
demultiplexing or multiplexing signal light of a few
specific wavelengths from signal light subjected to optical
wavelength multiplexing, a fiber bragg grating (33-1,33-N) is excellent
for enhancing rejection of a leakage of a demultiplexed
light, but with respect to a high speed optical signal at
the demultiplexing or multiplexing, a waveform
deterioration occurs. When a dielectric multilayer film
filter is used for dealing with the high speed optical
signal, a plurality of filters are used to suppress a
coherent cross talk, resulting in an increase of loss of
pass-through light and an increase of costs. 
     For a filter portion of at least demultiplexing part (22-1),
a dielectric multilayer film filter (23-1,23-N) which is short in an
optical path and free from deterioration of a high speed
optical signal is used, and for demultiplexed light leakage
rejecting part between the demultiplexing part and the
multiplexing part, a fiber bragg grating (33-1,33-N) which is low in
loss of pass-through light, is low in cost and is excellent
in the rejection characteristics of filter light is used.

Abstract: In an adaptive array antenna receiving apparatus which is used in a CDMA communication system and which includes a predetermined number L (L is an integer greater than 1) of fingers, no correlation exists between respective fingers. An adaptive update algorithm of calculating an antenna weighting factor by the use of an N-order correlation matrix independently for the respective fingers is equivalent to an adaptive update algorithm of calculating an (N x L)-order correlation matrix. In the adaptive array antenna receiving apparatus, the antenna weighting factor is controlled by the use of the adaptive update algorithm independently for the respective fingers so that a mean square of a common error signal produced by a subtractor (8) after rake combination by a rake combining circuit (6) is minimized. In this manner, the amount of calculation in the adaptive update algorithm used in all MMSE control circuits is considerably reduced proportionally from (NL) 2  to N 2 L. As a consequence, the processing load upon the DSP can be decreased.
