Abstract: The present invention addresses the problems
associated with lead migration, patient movement or
position, histological changes, neural plasticity or
disease progression. The present invention discloses
techniques for implanting a lead having therapy delivery
elements, such as electrodes or drug delivery ports,
within a vertebral or cranial bone so as to maintain
these elements in a fixed position relative to a desired
treatment site. The therapy delivery elements may
thereafter be adjusted in situ with a position control
mechanism and/or a position controller to improve the
desired treatment therapy. The present invention also
discloses techniques for non-invasively positioning and
re-positioning therapy delivery elements after implant
to provide electrical stimulation and/or drug infusion
to a precise target. A position control mechanism
and/or a position controller are provided for adjusting
in situ the position of the therapy delivery elements
relative to the targeted tissue of interest. The
therapy delivery elements may be positioned laterally in
any direction relative to the targeted treatment site or
toward or away from the targeted treatment site. A
control system may be provided for open- or closed-loop
feedback control of the position of the therapy delivery
elements as well as other aspects of the treatment
therapy.

Abstract: A steering device for a vehicle wherein the movement of a steering actuator
(2) is transmitted to the wheels (4) of a vehicle in such a manner that the
steering angle changes in accordance with this movement, without the operating
member (1) being coupled mechanically to the vehicle wheels (4). A behaviour
index value corresponding to change in the behaviour of the vehicle due to
change in the steering angle is determined, and a target behaviour index value
corresponding to the amount of operation of the operating member (1) is
calculated. A steering angle correction value corresponding to the differential
between the target behaviour index value and the determined behaviour index
value is summed with a steering angle set value corresponding to the target
behaviour index value to give a target steering angle. The steering actuator (2)
is controlled in such a manner that the steering angle corresponds to the target
steering angle.

of pulses, relative to rising and falling edges of a mark,
wherein the timing data includes a first pulse, a multi-pulse
train, a last pulse and a cooling pulse, and the
starting and ending positions of the pulses are varied for
various optical recording media. The timing data is

erase power control signal, a peak power control signal
and a cooling power control signal are generated (120) in
synchronism with an input nonreturn to zero inverted
(NRZI) signal, based on the timing data for each optical
recording medium. The recording apparatus can store write
pulses, which are adaptive to various optical recording
media, in the form of timing data, and generate (106) base
signals based on the timing data. Also, the write pulse
control signals can be generated (120) by the base

Abstract: A method is provided for driving a plasma display
panel (1) that includes first and second display
electrodes (X, Y) for generating surface discharge and
address electrodes (A) that cross the display
electrodes (X, Y) via a dielectric layer. In the
preparation process of the addressing for forming a
charge distribution corresponding to the display
contents, a charge forming step and a charge adjusting
step are performed. The charge forming step generates
wall voltage having the same polarity at the same kind
of interelectrode of all cells constituting the screen,
for three kinds of interelectrodes, an interelectrode
XY between the display electrodes, an interelectrode XA
between the first display electrodes, an interelectrode
XA between the first display electrode and the address
electrode, and an interelectrode YA between the second
display electrode and the address electrode. The
charge adjusting step decreases the wall voltage by
applying an increasing voltage that increases
continuously or step by step. 
     In this way, a plasma display panel that can
enlarge the voltage margin and can realize a stable
display can be provided.

Abstract: A digital data storage system in the form of a mass storage subsystem in which information
is stored on one or more disk storage units, with a storage element constituting a track on a disk
storage device and each track storing a plurality of records. Each track in each disk storage device
of the digital data storage system is associated with a descriptor. When the control device retrieves
the contents of a record, it can process the contents to generate a check value and compare the
generated check value with the check value for the record as stored in the descriptor associated with
the track. If they compare appropriately, the control device can determine that the record that was
retrieved was, in fact, the record that was to be retrieved. On the other hand, if they do not compare
appropriately, the control device can determine that the record that was retrieved was not the proper
record. If the contents of the record are updated, the control device can update the check value in
the descriptor to reflect the update of the record.
