Abstract: Multicast communication is performed, preferably in
IEEE1394 standard communication. A first comparator (45)
outputs 1 or 0 to an AND circuit (51) and to a transmission
and receiving section in accordance with the value of a bus
ID field extracted from a packet by a bus ID extraction
circuit (42). An address decoder (47) converts the value
of a physical ID field extracted by a physical ID
extraction circuit (43) to an address of a multicast
address control register (48). The multicast address
control register (48) outputs the value of a storage area
indicated by that address to the AND circuit (51). A
second comparator (49) outputs 1 or 0 to the AND circuit
(51) in accordance with the value of an offset address
field extracted by an offset-address extraction circuit
(44). The AND circuit (51) outputs the logical AND of all
the supplied values to the transmission and receiving
section. The transmission and receiving section receives
packets in accordance with the value from the AND circuit
(51) and the first comparator (45) of the determination
circuit.

Abstract: A coating fault locating technique transmits a base electric signal from a
power source to a buried metal pipe. A location of a coating fault in the buried
pipe is detected by detecting a gradient of a changing magnetic field between two
points spaced along the buried pipe. The gradient is detected based upon the
output differential of at least one pair of search coils. The gradient is caused by a
leakage of current that occurs at the coating fault. In particular, the at least one
pair of search coils are provided in a mobile unit that is located above ground. The
at least one pair of search coils are spaced apart from one another and have their
axes arranged so as to have a low sensitivity to a magnetic field generated by the
base electric signal running through the buried pipe. The at least one pair of coils
are spaced apart from each other such that a line drawn between midpoints of the
search coils' axes crosses a plane normal to the axis of the buried pipe. For
example, the at least one pair of search coils are spaced from each other
horizontally, with each coil arranged with its axis extending in a vertical plane.
The data detected by the search coils in the mobile unit can be transmitted to a
GPS system, which then generates a map identifying the locations of any detected
coating faults.

Abstract: A method is provided for retrieving Web content from a plurality of
Web servers for delivery to a Web client connectable to the World Wide
Web via a communication link 227. The Web client is preferably a data
processing system connectable to a television 104 or other conventional
monitor to provide low cost Internet access. The method begins by having
the user define a set of one or more servers from which content is
desired to be retrieved and stored in the cache. These servers are
preferably identified by a list of favorite Web sites. A test is then
made to determine whether a given download period has terminated 250.
Typically, this download period occurs during an "off" period, such as in
the middle of the night, to avoid traffic congestion at the Web server
sites. If the given download period has not terminated, a determination
is then made of an activity level for the communication link as content
is being downloaded to the cache from the one or more servers 254. If
the activity level for the communication link is less than a given
threshold level, additional requests for content are issued to the cache
260 according to a so-called "fairness policy" that ensures that content
from as many sites as possible is downloaded during the download period.

Abstract: A liquid fuel burner (10) is provided with a central fuel outlet (18) having a generally
divergent conical inner surface, formed of two contiguous divergent conical surfaces
(20a, 20b) of different angles of divergence, and a plurality of oxygen outlets (22)
shaped and positioned for creating a converging, rotating stream of oxygen which
intersects with any liquid fuel issuing from the fuel outlet (18). Such oxygen/fuel
interaction results in two zones of combustion and a recirculation effect which
assists in the complete or substantially complete combustion of undesirable exhaust
gas components. The oxygen and fuel are preferably supplied such that their
velocities are approximately equal at the point at which the two zones of combustion
meet.

Ces compositions comprennent un ingrédient qui prévient le photovieillissement causé par les rayonnements en doses érythémogènes minimales et en doses inférieures à celles-ci, tel qu'un rétinoïde, certains autres composés (tels qu'une N-acétylcystéine, un 2-furildioxime, et de la vitamine C) et, facultativement, d'autre inhibiteurs de métalloprotéases matricielles (MMP) tels que les tétracyclines et/ou les composés qui inhibent le métabolisme des rétinoïdes dont le médiateur est le cytochrome P-450, tels que le cétonazole et autres composés du type azole. Dans le procédé de la présente invention, on applique la composition entre 7 et 48 heures avant l'exposition au soleil en fonction des ingrédients utilisés dans la composition. Les composés qui préviennent l'érythème (rougissement de la peau, coup de soleil) ne protègent pas nécessairement contre une élévation des taux et de l'activité des MMP dont le médiateur sont les UV et, inversement, les composés qui préviennent une élévation des taux et de l'activité des MMP dont le médiateur sont les UV ne sont pas nécessairement efficaces contre l'érythème induit par les UV.

Abstract: A method (and system) for establishing and printing a medium print field begins
with the initiation (100) of a design software application which utilizes a display (14) for
representation of the medium and for displaying one or more component print fields on the
medium representation. Each of the component print fields can be modified (114) through
utilization of a preferences input routine which further comprises: a printer selection
option; a measurement scaling option; and, a return address selection option. The initiation
further includes selection (110) of a medium type and a set of characteristics for the
medium. The representation displayed on the screen can be modified (114) to the extent
of its component print fields which comprise: a return address block; a postal indicia; a
destination address block; and, a message block. Modifying the component print fields
comprises selecting a database to attach to the selected field before assigning a first file
from a related field of the database to the component print field. Once the field has been
established, the system operator can begin scrolling through the viewable field by utilizing
directional selection means to scroll from one file to another until selection of the
component print field for modification has been made. An attachable component print
field can also be selected. The method then confirms the modification and the attachment,
to establish a finished print field for printing to the selected medium.
