Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of composite digital works. A digital
work is comprised of a description part (700) and a content part. The description part contains
control information for the composite digital work. The content part stores the actual digital
data comprising the composite digital work. The description part (700) is logically organized in
an acyclic structure, e.g. a tree structure. For a composite digital work each node of the acyclic
structure represents an individual digital work or some distribution interest in the composite
digital work. A node in the acyclic structure is comprised of an identifier (701) of the individual
work, usage rights (704) for the individual digital work and a pointer (705,706) to the digital
work. Composite digital works are stored in repositories. A repository has two primary
operating modes, a server mode and a requester mode. When operating in a server mode, the
repository is responding to requests to access digital works. When operating in requester
mode, the repository is requesting access to a digital work. A repository will process each
request to access a composite digital work by examining the usage rights for each individual
digital work found in the description part of the composite digital work.

Abstract: A tea making appliance 2 comprises a water heating
vessel 4 provided with a thick film heater 24 on its
base 20 and an infusion vessel 6 arranged thereon,
containing in use a dose of tea leaves. A tube 8 extends
down from the infusion vessel 6 into water heating
vessel 4. As water in the water heating vessel 4 is
heated, the vapour pressure in the vessel 4 increases,
with vapour escaping from the vessel 4 through a valve
unit 46. When the water begins to boil, a ball 50 in
the valve unit 46 is forced by the vapour pressure
against its seat 54 to close the valve, forcing heated
water to flow through tube 8 into the infusion vessel 6.
Once transfer of the water is complete, a control unit
72 operates to disconnect the power supply to the heater
24. The steam pressure in the water heating vessel 4
begins to fall, and valve 46 reopens, allowing infused
tea to flow back into the water heating vessel 4.

Abstract: A handle (30) operates an automotive door opening and closing mechanism, which has a lock cylinder (60) and key. The handle operation is via a lever (30) and rotation of the lock cylinder (60) action transfer to a pick-up (45). The pick-up (45) action is transferred to the lever (30) by a pushrod (50). The lever (30) has an adjustable bearing position (31, 11) which is determined by the pushrod (50) with respect to the lock cylinder (60) rotational position. The arrangement alters the lever operating ratios relative to a connector (40) to the lock.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a sterilized milk compensation comprising native gellan gum, wherein the native gellan gum has been pre-treated with a denaturing agent. The method comprises the step of pre-treating the native gellan gum with a denaturing agent such as a common oxidative agent or an alkaline caustic agent prior to mixing and sterilizing the native gellan in milk. Preferably, treatment with the denaturing agent results in reduction of para-cresol levels in the sterilized native gellan/milk composition to below 25 ppb after 12 months of storage, and most preferably, to levels where para-cresol is undetectable by taste. The present invention further relates to sterilized milk compositions and milk-based gellan food products.

Abstract: Device for enhancing cooling of electronic circuit components that is substantially or fully independent of orientation. A thin profile thermosyphon heat spreader mounted to an electronics package comprises a central evaporator in hydraulic communication with a peripheral condenser, both at least partially filled with liquid coolant. A very high effective thermal conductivity results. Performance is optimized by keeping the evaporator substantially full at all orientations while leaving a void for accumulation of vapor in the condenser. A cover plate and a parallel base plate of generally similar dimension form the evaporator and condenser. Optionally, an opening in the base plate is sealed against the electronics package and places the heat-dissipating component in direct contact with the liquid coolant. Alternatively, the base plate may be formed with the electronics package from a single piece of material. A boiling enhancement structure is provided in the evaporator to encourage vapor bubble nucleation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of reconstructing a high-resolution 3D image (G) of an examination zone of a patient from a 3D image data set (D) of the examination zone, the examination zone being subject to a periodic motion which is measured, in parallel with the acquisition of the 3D image data set (D), as a motion signal (E) which represents the periodic motion. In order to enable the formation of high-resolution 3D images having an enhanced image quality, the invention proposes a method of this kind which includes the following steps: a) reconstructing a number of low-resolution 3D images (I) from the 3D image data set (D), the low-resolution 3D images (I) being reconstructed from 3D image data of the 3D image data set (D) which has been acquired during different phases of motion of the periodic motion, b) determining motion information (B) of at least one sub-zone (A) of the examination zone during the different phases of motion by means of the low-resolution 3D images (I), c) selecting a temporal reconstruction window (T) in which the motion of the at least one sub-zone (A) is below a predetermined level, d) reconstructing a high-resolution sub-image (K) for the at least one sub-zone (A) from 3D image data (D) lying in the temporal reconstruction window (T) selected for the sub-zone (A), and e) forming the desired 3D image (G) from the at least one sub-image (K), the zones of the 3D image (G) which are not reconstructed as sub-images then being reconstructed from the 3D image data so as to be combined with the at least one sub-image (K).

Abstract: In a fuel system of an internal combustion engine, a
fuel pressure sensor is disposed on a high pressure fuel
pipe connecting common rail and a fuel injection valve.
An electronic control unit (ECU) of the engine calculates
the magnitude P of the fuel pressure fluctuation from the
fuel pressure detected by the pressure sensor when a
pilot fuel injection is executed. The ECU calculates the
actual amount Qpl of the pilot fuel injection from the
magnitude P and pressure Pc in the high pressure fuel
pipe based on the relationship between Qpl and p, Pc
determined beforehand by experiment. The ECU further
corrects the fuel injection period of the fuel injection
valve in such a manner that the difference dQpli between
the actual amount Qpl and a target amount Qplt of pilot
fuel injection becomes within an allowable range. Thus,
the fuel injection amount of the fuel injection valve
always agrees with the target fuel injection amount even
if a fuel injection characteristics have changed after
long period of operating the engine.
