Patent EP-1928170-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MATSUDA TAKAHIRO
IPC: H04N21/442
Filed: 2007-08-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a program search apparatus (1) and method to automatically search for a recommended program that follows changes in a user's preferences. Recording operation processing (11) controls an operation panel whereby the user can perform recording operations, and whereby all recording operation events of the user are extracted. Record history record processing (12) accumulates all user operations relating to program recording in a storage apparatus as a recording history. Preference change analysis processing (18) extracts recorded programs in the most recent period from the recording history, obtains the weight of a word contained in the recorded program from an index generated from an EPG, adds the weight of the word to a preference in a period, and normalizes the preference in that period. The preference in programs for a period immediately preceding the most recent period (previous period) is normalized in the same manner, and a degree of similarity to the preference in the most recent period is calculated. Preference query generation processing (19) emphasizes (five-fold) the weight of the words contained in the recorded programs in the period (June) and generates a preference query (Fig. 7). The present invention provides a program search apparatus and method for searching for recommended programs with high accuracy and that follows changes in a user's preferences.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tool intended for chip removing machining and of the type that comprises a basic body (1) and an indexable cutting insert (2) that can be connected to the basic body via an interface comprising a primary connecting surface (7) in the basic body and a secondary connecting surface (11) in the cutting insert. Among two co-operating support flanks (24,25) included in the connecting surface of the basic body, one (25) is situated on a level above the other (24) in order to form a lateral support for the cutting insert. In the connecting surface (11) of the cutting insert, contact flanks (31,32) are included that, together with the clearance surface (12) of the cutting insert, form a V-shapedly converging wedge part (50) that can be applied in a seat (15) delimited by the support flanks (24,25), the contact flank being urged against the low-positioned support flank (24) of the basic body, while an upper part of the clearance surface (12) of the cutting insert is urged against the high-positioned support flank (25). By means of the high-positioned support flank (25), large cutting forces can be carried in a dominant line of action, the interface in other respects efficiently counteracting such tendencies to dislodging/turning of the cutting insert that are caused by more moderate forces in other lines of action.

Abstract: The present invention relates to efficient recovery of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) data following handover. The present invention discloses a method and system for the UE to perform a serial of actions in order to reduce the latency and potentially prevent loss of PDU transmission during the serving HS-DSCH cell change procedure. A new criterion is introduced for UE generation of the status report of RLC PDU. The UE generates status report of the PDUs as soon as possible following notification of the HS-DSCH cell change indicated by the RRC procedure to more efficiently recover source Node B buffered data. PDU status may be signaled for each AM RLC instance associated with the HS-DSCH transport channel. Furthermore, upon Inter Node B serving HS-DSCH cell change the SRNC may wait for PDU status report before initiating transmission of new data in target cell.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method that uses digital signature technology to authenticate the contents of one or more manifests located on a storage device. Each manifest contains a list of file records, where each record contains the name of a file stored on the storage device, and a signature value derived from the contents of the file. At boot time, the gaming machine first authenticates the contents of the manifest and then authenticates the contents of the files using the signature value stored in the manifest. Files are verified using the signature, as they are needed, during the boot up of the operating system and throughout normal operation. This method reduces the boot time of the gaming machine and eliminates the need to check digital signatures for each individual file or over the entire contents of a non-secure media. 
     Similarly, a method of adding authentication ability to legacy software components without necessarily altering the legacy software components is disclosed.

Abstract: The multi-plate clutch (1) includes a clutch outer (9); a clutch inner (12, 13) which is disposed at the inner side of the clutch outer (9), and which transmits a rotational driving force from the clutch outer (9) to a transmission shaft (2) by means of clutch discs (14, 15). The clutch discs (14, 15) are disposed between the clutch outer (9) and the clutch inner (12, 13), and move in an axial direction of the transmission shaft (2) so as to permit and cut off the transmission of the rotational driving force. A first biasing means (26) exerts a clamping force on the clutch discs (14, 15) and a cam mechanism (16, 17, 18) is disposed at the inner side of the clutch outer (9), and assists, in accordance with the rotational driving force from a crankshaft, the clamping force exerted by the first biasing means (26) on the clutch discs (14, 15). 
     The multi-plate clutch (1) thus provided includes a second biasing means (27) which generates a biasing force in such a direction as to separate the clutch discs (14, 15) away from one another, and which thereby weakens the clamping force exerted by the first biasing means (26) on the clutch discs (14, 15). The cam mechanism (16, 17, 18) exerts, on the second biasing means (27), a force against the biasing force of the second biasing means (27) in accordance with the rotational driving force from the crankshaft.
