Abstract: A rotational actuator for the interior of an adjustable vehicle suspension damper device comprises a cylindrical permanent magnet stator (21,22) and a cylindrical armature (40). The armature includes a shaftless winding (42) on a non-magnetic armature frame (41), the armature frame extending axially beyond the winding at each end, with output-engaging means (48,49) at one end and an opening (45) between that end and the winding projecting radially inwardly across the axis of the armature. A first shaft (44) coaxial with the armature is anchored in the one axial end of the armature frame and rotatably supported in a first axial support (23). A second axial support (30) in the stator projects into the opening of the armature frame across the armature axis and supports a second shaft (50) coaxial with the armature and extending across the opening of the second axial end of the armature frame, whereby the armature is supported at each axial end close to the winding and core, and the radial size of the actuator is minimized.Rotational limit stops (52,53;55,56) may be formed on a bridge portion (46) of the armature adjacent the radially inwardly projecting opening and on the second axial support. An additional intermediate stop may comprise flat surfaces (60,61) on the armature and on a stationary U-shaped spring (63); alternatively, output ratchet apparatus may be provided.

Abstract: The invention provides a software asset protection mechanism which is based on the separation of the software to be protected from the right to execute that software. Protected software can only be executed on composite computing systems in which a physically and logically secure coprocessor (15) is associated with a host computer (10). The software to be protected is broken down into a protected (encrypted) portion FILE2 EAK and an (optical) unprotected or plain text portion FILE 2 PLAIN. The software is distributed by any conventional software distribution mechanism (for example a floppy disk) including the files already identified along with an encrypted software decryption key FILE1. The coprocessor is capable of decrypting the software decryption key so it can thereafter decrypt the software, for execution purposes. However, the coprocessor will not perform these functions unless and until the user's right to execute is evidenced by presentation of a physically secure token (20). The physically secure token provides to the coprocessor token data in plain text form (the physical security or the plain text token data is provided by the cartridge within which token data is stored). The physical properties of that cartridge taken together with the correspondence between the token data provided by the cartridge and the encrypted token data evidence the user's right to execute.

Abstract: A structure for stabilising a slope is disclosed, which uses precast concrete members. An independent structure is constructed by charging a cement-containing hardenable member into a space between precast concrete members provided on the slope. First, four pairs of precast concrete side plates (3) are arranged in the form of a cross such that the side plates of each pair are parallel and the height thereof reduces gradually from the centre of the cross toward the free end. A PC steel material (7) is stretched between opposed precast concrete end plates each provided between the free ends of the side plates of each pair, and is given prestress to make the entire structure integral. A cement-containing hardenable material is then charged into a space between the pair side plates, and the structure is secured to the slant natural ground with an anchor. A plurality of the structures as above are arranged on the sloping natural ground. Since the precast concrete members are used, the operation is facilitated. Since the structure is an integrated structure having the shape of a cross, structural calculations can be simplified.
