Abstract: An apparatus for embedding information comprises: a blocking step for dividing data to be
processed into blocks; an orthogonal transform step for obtaining coefficients by carrying out
orthogonal transformation for each block; an embedding coefficient selecting step for
determining coefficients in which the watermark-information will be embedded by using a
random sequence which is generated by initial value; an information embedding step for
sequentially embedding the watermark-information, which has arbitrary length of bits, by
quantizing value of said coefficients using a predetermined value for quantization; and an
inverse orthogonal transform step for carrying out inverse orthogonal transformation for
modified coefficients to form block in which the watermark-information is embedded, as well
as combining the divided blocks and reconstructing the original form.

Abstract: A printing device that produces printed pieces of paper having no blank is
provided, which can precisely position the print to contents on the back side of the
printing paper. A mark (36) is provided in a blank area (38) on the back side of
printing paper (3a). A sensor (7) senses the mark (36), whereby the position of a
regular-form print area (37) adjacent to the blank area (38) on the printing paper
(3a) can be recognized. A thermal head (1a) and a cutter (6) print the printing
paper (3a) and cuts the blank area (38) away on the basis of the sense output.
Accordingly, it is possible to produce a printed piece of paper having a desired
print on the front side and a regular-form print on the back side printed without
positional misalignment and without blank in the feed direction, with the mark (36)
removed therefrom.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a soft finish on a
fabric such as a suede tone, raised loops, broken loops or
fleeced and for providing a faded effect such as a washed or
faded denim. A fillet having a plurality of wires extending
therefrom is wound on a cylinder of a finishing machine. The
outer ends of the wires extending from the fillet are angled at
approximately 80° from vertical. The wires are covered with an
abrasive coating which is applied by an arc spray system. The
coating extends around the perimeter of the wire from at least
just below the bend of the wires and extending to the outer tip
of the wires. The fabric is driven over a nip roll that is
adjusted to bring the fabric in closer contact with the wires
on the cylinder which is rotating. An alternative embodiment
of accomplishing the same type of soft finish such as suede or
washed or faded denim finish is accomplished with multi rolls
(or kiss rolls) finish machinery using the coated wire fillet
on each roll. The wires of fillets for napping machines are
similarly covered with the abrasive coating for achieving a
more efficient operation on a napper finishing machine.

Abstract: In a heating furnace an object to be heated is
heated by means of a plurality of heating sources
(4,5,6,7). Heating conditions are set for the heating
sources respectively, and the object is heated. A
temperature of the heated object is then detected at a
plurality of detection points (13), and a relationship
between a variation in the heating conditions in one of
the heating sources and a variation in a detected
temperature at each of the detection points (13) of the
heated object is computed for each heating source.
Then, heating conditions in the heating source for
causing the detection point of the heated object to
have a target temperature are calculated based on the
computed relationship, and the heating sources are
controlled based on the calculated heating conditions. 
     In this way, a temperature distribution of an
object to be heated is measured only a required minimum
number of times and thermal analysis for the object is
performed, thereby optimally heating the object.

Abstract: A manually operable control device, such as a
joystick (10), includes a plurality of actuators (51,52,53) for operating
hydraulic valves of a machine. A handle (24,26,28) has a sphere (22) received
within a cavity formed between a pair of seat portions (20,34) which
are moveable with respect to each other. The handle (24,26,28) produces
movement of at least one of the plurality of actuators (51,52,53) when
the sphere (22) is pivoted within the cavity. An electromagnetic
coil (18) generates a magnetic field that causes the seat portions (20,34)
to be attracted toward each other which increases friction
between the sphere (22) and the seat (20,34). A control circuit applies
electric current to the electromagnetic coil (18) whenever the
machine is turned on and disconnects the electric current when
the machine is turned off. The friction between the sphere (22)
and the seat (20,34) holds the control device in an operating position
set by the machine operator and springs (64) return the control
device to a neutral position when the machine is turned off.

Abstract: Discrete anodes (7) and discrete emissive layers (15) are
formed for respective pixels, while a hole-transport layer (14),
an electron-transport layer (16), and a cathode (17) are formed
to extend over a plurality of pixels. Accordingly, a process of
etching-back the hole-transport layer (14) and the electron-transport
layer (16) is eliminated. Also, since partitions (68)
as conventionally provided are not necessary, the process of
forming the partitions can also be eliminated. The anode (7) and
the cathode(17) are separated by the hole-transport layer (14) and
the electron-transport layer (16), and are therefore not subject
to shorting, even though no partition (68) is employed. Further,
since the emissive layer (15) is larger than the anode (7), a leak
current generated at the ends of the anode and field concentration
can be prevented.

Abstract: Heavy density honeycomb structures which include alternating layers
of primary corrugated sheets (22) and bisector sheets (24) which are bonded together.
The primary corrugated sheets are offset so that the bisector sheets are
bonded to the corrugated sheet nodes (26,28) so that the upper and lower bonding
locations on each bisector sheet are displaced from each other. This
displacement provides flexibility regions in the bisector sheets which enhance
the formability of the heavy density honeycomb. The displaced node
configuration is useful for enhancing thermal formability of both metallic and
non-metallic honeycomb structures. The offset configuration is used with
both substantially flat bisector sheets and corrugated bisector sheets.

Abstract: The device incorporates its own transformer to provide a local low tension supply.  The electrical cut-out comprises a box (100) housing the cut-out mechanism, the box being made of metal and accommodating a voltage transformer (200). The metal box does not have right angle corners, but has cut off corners, giving rise to an octagonal horizontal section. The transformer within the box is a step-down transformer, changing from 20,000 volts to a low tension. This low tension is then used to operate an electronic cut-out management system. The line conductors (300) enter the box through insulating sleeves (360) made of a silicon material, with projecting fins (362). The cut-out box is sealed and may contain either a neutral gas, or an arc-extinguishing gas.
