Abstract: A header object for a data file is comprised of sub-objects which specify properties of the
data stream and contains information needed to properly verify and interpret the information
within the data object. In order to allow the protection of any set of sub-objects without
requiring that the sub-objects follow any specific ordering, a new sub-object is introduced which
includes region specifiers identifying regions within sub-objects and verification information for
those regions. This new sub-object in the header object allows the modification of non-protected
regions and reorganization of sub-objects in a header without invalidating verification
information. 
     For example, one data stream format is the Advanced Streaming Format (ASF),
which is an extensible file format designed to store coordinate multimedia data.

A second set of permanent magnets (32) are arranged on a rotor (40,41,43), stationary pole pieces (36) are positioned between the first set of permanent magnets (30) and the second set of permanent magnets (32) to interfere with the first magnetic field. Rotation of the rotor (16) relative to the pole pieces (36) produces a second magnetic field which rotates the second set of permanent magnets (32). A stator (42) has windings (46) to transduce a changing second magnetic field produced by the rotation of the second set of permanent magnets (32) into an electrical voltage. The electrical machine is useful for a wind turbine generator. Alternatively the arrangement may be modified to produce an electrical motor.

Abstract: A mask function that replaces at least part of information, such as video data, audio data, and sub-picture data, with invalid data is provided in an information recording/reproducing apparatus. In one example application a personal computer (PC) and the information recording/reproducing apparatus are provided with an arrangement of features which encrypt the information at a sending end, the information is then exchanged between the sending end and a receiving end, and decrypted at the receiving end. Authentication is performed between the PC and the information recording/reproducing apparatus. If the authentication succeeds, then the information is transferred from one end where the information is encrypted to the other end where the information is decrypted. However if the authentication fails, the information recording/reproducing apparatus applies the mask function to the information when read from a storage medium or to the information to be written and transferred from the PC to the storage medium.

Abstract: Multi-band single-carrier modulation. A novel approach is presented by which interference compensation may be performed for signals received by a piconet operable device. The piconet operable device may be implemented within a region that includes two or more SOPs (Simultaneously Operating Piconets). Estimation of the level and location of interference is performed and the input to a decoder (within the piconet operable device) is selectively weighted to ensure that the effect of any existent interference within the signal received by the piconet operable device is minimized. Different interference levels are dealt with differently. For one example, portions of the received signal having undergone a large amount of interference may be simply treated as erasures with respect to the input the decoder. For another example, portions of the received signal having undergone some smaller degree of interference, but some interference nonetheless, may be de-weighted before being provided to the decoder.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine control method, wherein satisfactory restartability has not been obtained so far because the timing of opening an exhaust valve (9) of a cylinder (4) under expansion stroke is adjusted for improvement of startability and a valve adjusting mechanism (12, 28) is always controlled in the same manner regardless of the engine status at start. In the invention, control is performed to adjust the timing of closing an intake valve (8) so that an effective compression ratio of a cylinder (4) under compression stroke reduces. Also, the effective compression ratio of the compression stroke cylinder is decided based on a piston position at engine restart. By varying the intake valve closing timing in the expansion stroke cylinder to reduce the effective compression ratio depending on the engine status at restart, it is possible to lessen a load imposed on a starter (15) when the engine (1) is restarted, and to improve startability without complicating the engine system.

Abstract: An analyzing method and system includes projecting light onto a specimen, detecting an optical spectrum from the specimen, dividing the detected optical spectrum by a predetermined time interval, applying a weighting vector and a gain and offset vector to the divided spectra to generate a resolution vector, quantizing an analog signal of the resolution vector to a digital signal, and applying a synthesis vector to the quantized spectra to restore the quantized spectra to a size of the optical spectrum. A spectrum having a large amplitude difference is temporally divided and is analyzed by applying different resolutions to individual time intervals. Spectral portions of the spectrum having relatively small peak amplitudes are selected as a region of interest (ROI) to be modified.
