Patent EP-1300748-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BRYANT JOHN W
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2002-09-23
Abstract: This invention is a method and system for the management, access
and payment for use of copyrighted electronic media. Original electronic media is
steganographically tagged with a copyright identifier prior to being registered in
an electronic media registry. Upon registration, a unique media identifier is
provided by the system. The media is then stored on a networked database. Basic
licensing terms are then created and also stored in a networked database.
Derivative content is created from the original media and steganographically
tagged with the appropriate media identifier. The derivative content is
subsequently published electronically and can be used in conjunction with the
networked system to identify the copyright owner, obtain the original electronic
media or obtain some form of output via enabled service providers.

IPC: H03K5/08
Filed: 2002-01-28
Abstract: A receiver circuit (31-34) has a sampling circuit (411,412), a buffer circuit (420), a determining circuit (430), and a buffer control circuit. The sampling circuit (411,412) samples an input signal, and the buffer circuit (420) buffers an output of the sampling circuit. The determining circuit (430) determines an output of the buffer circuit, and the buffer control circuit keeps a small input signal dependency of the output of the buffer circuit until carrying out the sampling. Consequently, inter symbol interference caused by characteristics of a transmission path which poses a problem for receiving a high-speed signal can be reduced, and therefore the high-speed received signal can be determined with a higher accuracy.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making an active optical device for coupling to optical fibers.
Arrays of contacts are formed on the rear face of a substrate, which is preferably
transparent, at precisely dcfincd locations. Components are then flip-chip bonded onto
the substrate using a solder alignment technique to attach the components to said
substrate in precisely predetermined locations determined by the arrays of contacts. At
least one of the components is a light emitter or receiver so that it can be optically
coupled through the transparent substrate to an external light guide on the front face of
the substrate. Preferably, a guide frame for positioning guide pins is bonded to the
substrate also using a solder alignment technique.

Abstract: A high efficiency electrosurgical ablator which is subjected to a fast
and slight oscillatory motion during resection of tissue. The
electrosurgical ablator is positioned in the proximity of the tissue to be
treated in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid. A high
frequency voltage is applied to the electrode of the ablator, and the
ablator is subjected to a vibratory motion created by, for example, a
mechanical or electromechanical oscillator or a piezoelectric element. The
vibratory motion permits more tissue to become available in the
destructive, sparking zone, thereby increasing the efficiency of operation.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flat panel display and
a method of manufacturing the same in which the throughput of
polycrystallization can be improved in polycrystallizing an
amorphous silicon layer formed on a substrate using a low
temperature polysilicon manufacturing process. Four gate bus
lines (Lg1,Lg2,Lg3,Lg4) are concentrated in the vicinity of a
predetermined range (X) indicated by the vertical arrow. The
range (X) resides in the vicinity of the boundary between
pixels in the second row (P21,P22,P23,P24) and pixels in the third row (P31,P32,P33,P34)
and substantially equally extends across those groups of
pixels.
The TFTs (TFT11 to TFT44), which are connected to any of the four gate
bus lines (Lg1,Lg2,Lg3,Lg4), are also formed in the range (X). The TFTs
(TFT11 to TFT44) are used as switching elements for the pixels (P11 to
P44). For example, the pixel electrode (Pe) of each pixel in the first
column (P11,P21,P31,P41) is connected to the source electrode of the
corresponding TFT (TFT11 to TFT41).

Abstract: In a microcomputer 10 including an output port 20 for
outputting digital signals and an AD conversion register 18
for converting an analog voltage inputted to an AD input port
16 to a digital signal, the output port 20 and the AD input
port 16 are directly connected. The output port 20 is allowed
to selectively output H of a power source potential and L of
a ground potential. The AD conversion register 18 is judged
as being failed when any one of predetermined high order bits
of the AD conversion register 18 is not 1 at the H output, or
when any of one of the predetermined high order bits is not
0 at the L output. The digital conversion value of this AD
conversion register 18 is not used. Thereby,
existence/absence of failure of the AD conversion register is
detected without using 2 channels for the AD input port.

Abstract: The present invention provides a storage system capable of having a large-scale configuration for maintaining a write access response speed and reliability upon an occurrence of a failed cache and its control method. Plural clusters that control a disk drive connected thereto and have a cache memory are connected to one another through a cross coupling network, and write data in the cache memory of the clusters is mutually made redundant in the cache memories in two clusters that jointly use the same disk drive. When a failure occurs in the cache memory, the cluster that uses the disk drive jointly with the cluster having the cache memory in which the failure occurs performs processing for getting access to the disk drive operated by the cluster having the cache memory in which the failure occurs, and the other normally-operated cluster is operated to only make redundant the write data in the cache memory in its cluster.

Abstract: A modem (10) for transmitting a discrete multitone modulated (DMT) signal over a communications channel (H) is disclosed. In the encoding of an input bitstream, unloaded subchannels in the DMT spectrum are assigned signal values so that a trailing portion of each symbol of the resulting datastream is forced to a known value, for example zero. The known-valued trailing portion of each symbol provides the effect of a cyclic prefix, without necessitating the prepending of an actual cyclic prefix and incurring the corresponding data rate loss; alternatively, the effect of a cyclic prefix can be augmented by the forcing of the trailing portion of the blocks to known values.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless
communication apparatus that allows miniaturization of
the wireless communication apparatus as a whole and
improvement of characteristics of an antenna device. A
notch portion is formed in a shield case formed of a
conductive material that covers a radio-frequency
wireless communication circuit provided on a printed
wiring board so as to house the radio-frequency wireless
communication circuit within the shield case. By feeding
power to the notch portion, the shield case is operated
as a slot antenna. At the same time, the shield case
blocks undesired electromagnetic waves emitted from the
radio-frequency wireless communication circuit.
Alternatively, a notch antenna is formed by opening one
end of the notch portion formed in the shield case. By
thus making the shield case function as electromagnetic
wave shielding member and also function as the slot
antenna or the notch antenna, the wireless communication
apparatus as a whole is miniaturized.
