Abstract: Digital watermarking of audio, image, video or multimedia data is achieved by inserting
the watermark into the perceptually significant components of a decomposition of the data
in a manner so as to be visually imperceptible. In a preferred method, a frequency spectral
image of the data, preferably a Fourier transform of the data, is obtained. A watermark is
inserted into perceptually significant components of the frequency spectral image. The
resultant watermarked spectral image is subjected to an inverse transform to produce
watermarked data. The watermark is extracted from watermarked data by first comparing
the watermarked data with the original data to obtain an extracted watermark. Then, the
original watermark, original data and the extracted watermark are compared to generate a
watermark which is analyzed for authenticity of the watermark.

Abstract: A method of forming a transistor is disclosed. Conventional
fabrication techniques direct an ion implantation beam toward a
substrate (11) upon which a gate stack (17) has already been formed.
If the gate stack is too low relative to the incident beam energy,
the dopant species may channel through the gate stack, adversely
affecting transistor performance. The present invention prevents
channeling through this gate by covering the gate with a protective
layer (35) before ion implantation. The protective layer (35) is
an oxide layer which is formed on both the gate stack (17) and the
substrate (11) but is thicker on the gate stack than on the
substrate.

Abstract: According to the present invention, when an air-conditioning
clutch (27) of a compressor is set on, even if an
improvement of a heating capacity by a viscous heater (4) is
required, a viscous clutch (7) is turned off not to transmit a
rotational driving force of an engine (E) to a rotor (53) of
the viscous heater, and further the rotational driving force of
the engine is transmitted to the compressor. In this way, a
torque applied to the engine E and a V-belt (6) can be reduced,
so that a fuel consumption ratio of the engine lowers and a
fuel economical performance improves. Further, because an
operation of the compressor is intermitted, it is possible to
remove a fog of a front windshield, so that a safety of the
vehicle travelling can be prevented from being deteriorated.

solution is controlled so that the flowing-down rate thereof
per unit length in curtain breadth is from 2.5 to 10
cc/cm/sec, and the web surface to be coated with the coating
solution is controlled so as to have a temperature between

Abstract: A recording head system for an ink jet
recording apparatus having a full-line recording
head. The recording head is divided into a
variable number of blocks. The recording ratio
of each block (that is, the ratio of the number
of ink ejecting elements to be driven in a block
in accordance with recording data to the total
number of the ink ejecting elements in the block)
is compared with a reference recording ratio.
When the recording ratio is greater than the
reference recording ratio, the interval between
the drive timing of a block and that of the next
block is lengthened, or vise versa. This is
performed by controlling the enable timing of
each block by D-flip-flops (22), AND gates (21,
102) and delay circuits (24). Unevenness of
recorded images resulting from the fluctuation in
periodic ink pressure can be ameliorated.
