Patent EP-1293865-A2 (EP)
Inventor: STEFIK MARK J
IPC: G06Q30/04
Filed: 1995-11-23
Abstract: A system for controlling use and distribution of digital works. The present invention
allows the owner of a digital work to attach usage rights (1450) to their work. The usage rights
define how the individual digital work may be used and distributed (1451). Instances of usage
rights are defined using a flexible and extensible usage rights grammar. Conceptually, a right
in the usage rights grammar is a label associated with a predetermined behavior and conditions
to exercising the right. The behavior of a usage right is embodied in a predetermined set
(1452) of usage transactions steps. The usage transaction steps further check all conditions
(1453-1457) which must be satisfied before the right may be exercised. These usage transaction
steps define a protocol for requesting the exercise of a right and the carrying out of a right.

Abstract: A system for automatically retrieving and reporting "message count"
information to an individual that has multiple voice message mailboxes uses a
database and associated speech recognition unit. The system launches phone calls to
each of the user's voice mailboxes and the speech unit "listens" to the initial response
message to capture the count information usually contained in the beginning of the
reply. The system then collects the separate counts associated with each mailbox and
sends a report of the counts to the user. The system may use telephone connections or
data connections to communicate with the user.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of
producing a pattern-formed structure, comprising the
processes of: preparing a substrate for a pattern-formed
structure having a characteristic-modifiable layer
whose characteristic at a surface thereof can be modified
by the action of photocatalyst; preparing a
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate having a
photocatalyst-containing layer formed on a base material,
the photocatalyst-containing layer containing
photocatalyst; arranging the substrate for a
pattern-formed structure and the
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate such that
the characteristic-modifiable layer faces the
photocatalyst-containing layer with a clearance of no
larger than 200 µm therebetween; and irradiating energy
to the characteristic-modifiable layer from a
predetermined direction, and modifying characteristic
of a surface of the characteristic-modifiable layer,
thereby forming a pattern at the
characteristic-modifiable layer. According to this
method, a highly precise pattern can be formed without
necessity to carry out any post-treatment after exposure.
Further, there is no concern that the pattern-formed
structure itself deteriorates because the produced
pattern-formed structure is free of the photocatalyst.

Abstract: A plurality of binary images are obtained from
one form image by binarizing the form image by using
a plurality of binarizing threshold values for
improving a recognition rate of the search form
irrespective of a state of the inputted form image,
and format data are generated respectively from the
plurality of binary images. If the inputted form
image is a binary image, after the binary image has
been converted into a multi-valued image by a
vignetting filter, a plurality of binary images are
obtained from one form image by executing the
binarizing processing by use of the plurality of
binarizing threshold values respectively, thereby
generating the format data respectively from the
plurality of binary images.

Abstract: In a shoe press belt, in which the nip zone (N) is
narrower than the shoe width (S), the shearing force which
normally acts on the belt at the outer boundary of the nip
zone (N) is made either weak or non-existent by forming the
outer portions (Y) of the belt of less hardness than the inner,
or central, portion (K) of the belt, so that the less hard
portions (Y) can be positioned directly opposite the outer
boundaries of the nip zone (N). Alternatively, the outer
portions (Y) of the belt can be made thinner than the central
portion (K) of the belt and the thinner portions positioned
directly opposite to the nip zone (N) boundaries. The shearing
force applied to the belt at the nip ends of the roll is
reduced or eliminated, cracking resulting from the shear
force is reduced or avoided, and a belt having improved
durability results.

Abstract: DRAM memory cell is made by forming an initial single crystal substrate having a trench capacitor that forms a crystal lattice discontinuity, amorphizing the lattice around periphery of a recess formed at the discontinuity, depositing amorphous material the same as that of initial substrate on obtained structure, thermally annealing, and forming an access transistor in contact with the trench. Fabrication of an integrated circuit comprising a semiconductor substrate (SB) supporting a DRAM memory cell comprising an access transistor (T) and a storage capacitor (TRC) comprises: (a) Producing an initial substrate having a local trench capacitor containing a polycrystalline filling material that emerges from the surface of the initial substrate and forms a discontinuity of the crystal lattice; (b) Forming a recess in the initial substrate at the level of the trench; (c) Amorphizing, locally and self-aligned on the trench, the single crystal lattice of the substrate at the periphery of the recess and the part of the filling material that emerges from the trench; (d) Depositing on the obtained structure a layer of amorphous material having the same chemical composition as that of the initial substrate; (e) Thermally annealing the obtained structure, in order to recrystallize the amorphous material so that it becomes continuous with the single crystal lattice of the initial substrate; and (f) Epitaxially growing an upper layer of the substrate, in and on which is produced an access transistor (T) whose source (S) or drain (D) region contacts the trench capacitor forming the storage capacitor (TRC) of the DRAM memory cell. The initial substrate production stage (a) involves successively depositing on the initial substrate a first layer of a first material and a second layer of a second material, and etching a trench, which is subsequently filled with a filling material. The recess forming stage (b) involves performing selective etching with respect to the second layer, the first layer and an upper part of the filling material of the trench, so as to form lateral cavities and a recess at the level of the single crystal discontinuity, and removing the second layer. The amorphization stage (c) involves localized ion implantation around the recess by using a mask. Either before or after stage (e), the surface of the structure is planarized, preferably by chemical-mechanical polishing. An Independent claim is given for an integrated circuit fabricated by the above process and supporting a DRAM memory cell comprising a transistor (T) and a storage capacitor (TRC).

Abstract: A method for grinding the tooth flanges of gear wheels has a processor control which first positions the shaped grinding partway into the gap between two teeth. The speed of the wheel is reduced and the gear wheel is slowly rotated in each direction in turn to determine the spacing to each flange. If both flanges are not reached in a set displacement the wheel is inserted further into the gap and the process is repeated. When the relative positions of the flanges have been mapped the processor control resets the speed of the wheel to a working level and the grinding process is initiated, either as a simple one step process, with a curved grinding profile, or via a rolling alignment action using a straight grinding profile.

Abstract: An ultra high speed Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) flip-flop is provided and
a method of operating the same. The ECL flip-flop provides for clock levels that operate
at logic levels above the data levels. Since the clock operates at logic levels above the
data, the clock experiences level shifts that are less than the level shifts of the data.
Therefore, the clock will provide a higher fidelity signal relative to the conventional clock
signal. The ECL flip-flop can operate at significantly higher data rates than conventional
flip-flop circuitry.
