Abstract: The invention provides a trusted agent for anonymous
voice communication using telephones. The trusted agent
includes an access network communications unit, a memory
device and a voice bridge processor coupled to the memory
device and the access network communications unit. The voice
bridge processor (308) receives information through the access
network communications unit from at least one user (102) and
connects the at least one user to a telephone network for
anonymous voice communication. The voice bridge processor
displays (S2000) to the at least one user a display panel (422) prompting
the at least one user to enter a telephone number and an
identification. The voice bridge processor searches the
memory device for an entry corresponding to the
identification entered by the at least one user. If the
entry corresponding to the identification is found, then the
voice bridge processor connects the at least one user with
another user identified with the identification entered by
the at least one user. If the identification entered by the
at least one user is not found, the voice bridge processor
creates an entry in the memory device corresponding to the at
least one user.

Abstract: Web pages and other Internet information
resources are retrieved from a one-way broadcast
signal such as a broadcast television signal. A
user selects from a range of available information,
including hypertext markup language (HTML) pages,
which is carried in the broadcast stream by invoking
a command which is defined according to a uniform
resource locator (URL) format. Table mapping data
is carried in the broadcast signal and provides a
broadcast address corresponding to the URL of the
user request signal for use in identifying a
location in the broadcast signal from which the
desired information can be retrieved. The broadcast
address may provide information regarding a
frequency, packet identifier, satellite,
transponder, cryptographic scheme, modulation
scheme, data rate, error correction scheme, page
number or other relevant criteria associated with
the broadcast signal which must be known to retrieve
the requested information. The system has the look

Abstract: A method for molding a thermoplastic resin by
filling a molten thermoplastic resin into a mold which
comprises carrying out the molding of the resin while
reducing the solidification temperature of the resin
surface which contacts with the mold during the step of
filling the resin. To this effect, a gas which has a high solubility
in the resin is present in the mold cavity and is absorbed in
the resin surface, thereby reducing its solidification temperature.
According to this molding method, the state of the mold surface
can be faithfully transferred to molded articles.

Abstract: An agent portion (AM) is provided between a job processing portion (JM)
for managing and controlling a job indicating the flow of a series of processes and
a data processing portion (DM) for practically processing data. The different
control processes of respective processing portions of the data processing portion
(DM) are performed by the agent portion (AM) constructed as a module different
from a module corresponding to the job processing portion (JM). The job
processing portion (JM) generates a job command independent of the processing
portions (DM1, DM2, DM3, DM4). The agent portion (AM) converts the job
command into a control command inherent in each of the processing portions
(DM1, DM2, DM3, DM4). A data processing apparatus is constructed as above
to reduce burdens on the functions of the job processing portion (JM), and to
eliminate the need to change the job processing portion (JM) if the data processing
portion (DM) is changed.

Abstract: In a fuel injection control system, a throttle
valve is provided on the intake air passage of a diesel
engine and an EGR control valve is provided for recycling
a part of the engine exhaust gas to the intake air system
of the engine. An engine control unit (ECU) controls the
intake air amount of the engine to a value corresponding
to the engine operating condition by adjusting the
throttle valve and the EGR control valve. Further, the
ECU detects the actual intake air amount by an airflow
meter disposed at the inlet of the intake air passage and
determines the maximum fuel injection amount based on the
engine speed and the actual intake air amount. The
maximum fuel injection amount is the maximum amount of
the fuel which does not generate the exhaust smoke. By
restricting the actual fuel injection amount so that the
actual fuel injection amount does not exceed the maximum
fuel injection amount, the generation of the exhaust
smoke is prevented in transient operating conditions of
the engine regardless of a delay in the response of the
EGR control valve.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a bonding substrate is
disclosed. An oxide film is formed on the surface of at
least one of two semiconductor substrates, and the two
substrates are brought into close contact with each other
via the oxide film. The substrates are heat-treated in an
oxidizing atmosphere in order to firmly join the substrates
together. Subsequently, an unjoined portion at the
periphery of a device-fabricating substrate is completely
removed, and the thickness of the device-fabricating
substrate is reduced to a desired thickness so as to yield a
thin film. The surface of the thin film is then etched
through vapor-phase etching in order to make the thickness
of the thin film uniform. In the method, the oxide film on
the unjoined portion of at least the support substrate is
removed before the surface of the thin film is subjected to
vapor-phase etching. The method prevents a groove from
being formed in the surface of the unjoined portion (terrace
portion) of the support substrate (base wafer) even when the
surface of the thin film undergoes vapor phase etching.

Abstract: In controlling the fluid pressure applied to a load
using a proportional fluid pressure control valve (1) or a
flow control valve (30) responsiveness of control is improved
in a pressure region where the consumption of fluid is
larger than in other regions. In this method, if there is
a pressure region where the consumption of fluid is
greater than in other regions, overshoot control is
carried out to increase fluid pressure in such a pressure
region by adding a predetermined pressure to a target
pressure for a predetermined time, or undershoot control
is carried out to reduce fluid pressure in such a
pressure region by subtracting a predetermined pressure
from a target pressure for a predetermined time. It is
thus possible to increase and reduce fluid pressure
quickly to a target pressure even in a pressure region
where the consumption of fluid is large, and thus to
improve responsiveness of control.
