Abstract: A view restrictor is employed to ensure that private information can only be viewed on an interactive display by a privileged user but not by non-privileged users. By detecting the location and orientation of the view restrictor on the display surface, a private portion of the display surface can be determined. The private portion is not visible to non-privileged users. The private information is then displayed to a privileged user at this private portion, and the view restrictor blocks non-privileged user(s) from viewing the private information. The interactive display detects removal of the view restrictor from the display surface, and interrupts display of the private information. In another embodiment, the private information is obfuscated so that it can be viewed only by a privileged viewer through a view revealer that includes a color filter. The private information may be either a graphic image or text.

Abstract: An electric-discharge-machining power supply device in which energy loss is hardly produced and a charge voltage of a capacitor is easily controlled. When a switching element SW1 is turned on, a capacitor C is charged via an inductor L. When the voltage Vc of the charged capacitor exceeds the voltage of direct-current power source E, a current is returned to the power source E via a diode D2. When the switching element SW1 is turned off, energy stored in the inductor L flows from the inductor L through the diode D2, the power source E and the diode D1, so that the voltage Vc of the capacitor C is kept at the power source voltage. When a switching element SW2 is turned on, the voltage of the capacitor is applied between an electrode and a workpiece. Since the charging circuit does not include a resistor and energy stored in the inductor L is returned to the direct-current power source E, no energy loss is produced. Further, the voltage Vc of the charged capacitor C can be controlled by adjusting the power source voltage.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved prosthetic stem (20) for implantation in a bone. Specifically, the present invention provides a prosthetic femoral stem (20) having a strengthening rib (40) protruding from the substrate (26) thereof and being flush with a porous coating (28) formed thereon. The strengthening rib (40) is advantageously positioned so as to increase the cross-sectional moment of inertia of the prosthetic femoral stem (20) and thereby decrease the stress on the anterio-lateral surface of the femoral stem (20). A protrusion (40) in accordance with the present invention may also be utilized with a prosthetic femoral stem (20) absent a porous coating. In such an embodiment, the height of the protrusion (40) is such that the protrusion (40) will be surrounded by the cement mantle formed when the prosthetic femoral component (20) is cemented in a femoral canal.

Abstract: An apparatus for automatic control of a friction clutch (1) in a vehicle, which clutch is designed to be disengaged and engaged by a clutch actuator (5) under automatic control. An initial partially engaged clutch stroke position (Q1) and an initial clutch stroke position (PI) at which fluid pressure in the clutch actuator reaches a prescribed value are detected to obtain a difference (R1) between said two clutch stroke positions prior to initiation of automatic clutch control. The friction clutch wears as it is used. Therefore, both of the partially engaged clutch stroke position and the clutch stroke position attaining the prescribed fluid pressure value change while the automatic clutch engagement/disengagement control is being performed. However, the difference between these two clutch stroke positions does not change. A current clutch stroke position attaining the predetermined fluid pressure is only detected during the automatic clutch control, and a current partially engaged clutch stroke position (Q2) is determined by adding the difference (R1) to the detected clutch stroke position (P2) .
