Abstract: A method for controlling access to digital information is performed based on a plurality of decryption keys sent by the information provider. A first type of decryption key instructs (406, 410) a user's host system to reproduce the digital information in accordance with a first level of reproduction quality degradation. Additional keys may specify other degradation levels. The quality of the digital information may be degraded (314, 406, 410) based on a time condition or a use condition. Alternatively, only a portion of the information may be made viewable by a user.  In order to obtain full and unrestricted access, the user must obtain a type (310) of decryption key from the provider which removes all previous limitations on reproduction quality degradation. Preferably, the digital information is sent with a media player application program embedded with an initial decryption key. The program may include tamper-resistant features which provide a safeguard against hackers or other forms of unauthorized access. A business method uses a pricing structure which makes the decryption keys available for different prices.

Abstract: Verfahren zur Messung des Objektabstands von Objekten werden verstärkt in Hinderniswarnsystemen für Kraftfahrzeuge eingesetzt, um die Fahrer der Kraftfahr­zeuge vor Gefahrenquellen auf der Fahrbahn zu warnen. Es wäre sinnvoll, in einem derartigen System auch die Relativgeschwindigkeit der sich dem Kraftfahrzeug nä­hernden Objekte zu berücksichtigen. Das neue Verfahren soll die Ermittlung der Relativgeschwindigkeit eines Objekts auf einfache Weise ermöglichen und genaue Meßergebnisse liefern. Beim neuen Meßverfahren wird der Objektabstand zyklisch jeweils nach Ablauf einer vorgegebenen Zyklusperiode ermittelt. Ferner wird die Anzahl der Zyklen er­mittelt wird, innerhalb derer der Objektabstand sich soweit ändert, daß ein vorgege­benes Abstandsband vollständig durchlaufen wird. Die Relativgeschwindigkeit des Objekts wird dann aus der Differenz zwischen dem vor dem Eintritt in das Abstands­band ermittelten Objektabstand und dem nach dem Austritt aus dem Abstandsband ermittelten Objektabstand und aus der ermittelten Anzahl von Zyklen berechnet.

Abstract: An anchoring device for a corrosion-protected tension member includes an anchor body, which is provided with bores for the passage of the tension elements. Sealing discs, which can be compressed by means of a pressure plate and threaded bolts, are provided on a face of the anchor body and lie opposite a downstream face. A perforated disc, which is enclosed by two supporting discs, is located downstream of the sealing discs and the pressure plate. The perforated disc acts as a spacer for the tension elements and is fixed between lugs that are opposite an anchor tube and that is connected to the anchor body. The locking of the perforated disc enables the position of the tension elements to remain parallel, even when the sealing discs are compressed to activate the seal. If individual tension elements have to be replaced, the loosening of the threaded bolts allows the sealing discs to "breathe" and to return to their original position.

Abstract: A method and corresponding codec for (channel) encoding speech or other data bits for transmission via a wireless communication channel, the method providing unequal error protection (UEP) using only a single encoder, and including: a step (51e) of determining how many bits to puncture in each of typically two protection classes (C<A#191 C?B#191) so as to achieve either a predetermined or iterated desired level of error protection; and a step (52) of identifying which bits to puncture for each class so as to provide relatively strong and uniform protection for all bits in the first class (C?A#191), but protection that decreases in the same manner as the subjective importance decreases from the beginning to the end of the other classes. The method also accounts for so-called soft puncturing by modulators transmitting multiple bits per symbol with weaker protection for some of the bits of each symbol.
