Abstract: A curved ultrasonic waveguide, as used in an ultrasonic surgical
instrument, comprises two curved half-wave sections, having similar vibratory motion
at their respective distal tips, which are integrally or compressively joined at the distal
tips to create a single waveguide with a sharper bend radius than is conventionally
possible. The resulting waveguide does not produce parasitic motion or generate
excessive heat at the input or output portions of the waveguide.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory is disclosed, the memory
comprising memory cells each comprising a transistor
having a control gate and a floating gate. During a
period in which data write to a memory cell is
performed, a positive voltage (a voltage
substantially 1/2 the power supply voltage or more,
and lower than the power supply voltage) is supplied
to a memory cell source line (ARVSS) for supplying a
reference potential to the memory cell. Even if a
bit line (BL1-BL4) and the memory cell source line
(ARVSS) are short-circuited, the potential of a node
in a latch buffer unit is maintained at least during
a period in which this node and the bit line are
electrically connected. Since this makes it possible
to determine that a program operation is normally
performed and to complete a program verify operation,
a defect caused by the short circuit between the bit
line (BL1-BL4) and the memory cell source line
(ARVSS) can be repaired by using a redundancy circuit.

Abstract: The invention provides a pattern matching technique based on the
symmetrical construction of the code structures representing the matching
expression and the filter to be matched. The method of the invention is for
determining whether a computer-storable expression matches a filter. A first
code structure representing the expression is evaluated for determining a
value of the expression. A second code structure representing the filter is
analyzed for determining the characteristics of the filter. Then, the value is
filtered according to the filter characteristics. The first code structure is
constructed from a plurality of first programming language code structure
elements and the second code structure is constructed from a plurality of
second programming language code structure elements. Each second
structure element corresponds to one of the first structure elements. This
symmetrical construction of both code structures enables an arbitrary level of
structural complexity. The matching operation may be invoked explicitly.

Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft die Erzeugung von Bilddaten, wobei eine Szene mit einem Detektor (1) gescant wird, der eine Vielzahl von Sensorelementen zur Erzeugung von Bildsignalen aufweist. Für die Sensorelemente wird jeweils ein Gesamtwert gebildet (Einheit 12), der eine Gesamtheit von aus dem Sensorelement gewonnenen Bildssignalen repräsentiert, sodass ein Gesamtwerte-Profil zumindest über einen Teil der gescanten Szene erhalten wird. Aus den Gesamtwerten benachbarter Sensorelemente wird ermittelt, ob Unterschiede dieser Gesamtwerte ein vorgegebenes Größenkriterium erfüllen, welches auf Inhomogenitäten in Signalempfindlichkeiten dieser Sensorelemente hindeutet (Einheit 14). Die Bildsignale werden bei Erfüllung des Größenkriteriums derart korrigiert (Einheit 15), dass das Größenkriterium nicht mehr erfüllt ist. Aus den korrigierten Bildsignalen oder aus den Bildsignalen, die das Größenkriterium nicht erfüllen, werden die Bilddaten erzeugt und auf einem Bildschirm (4) dargestellt.

Abstract: A method for optimizing drilling fluid hydraulics when drilling a well bore (10) is
disclosed. The drilling fluid is supplied by a surface pump (22) through a drill
string (16) to a drill bit (18). The method has the step of adjusting the flow rate of a

that the drilling fluid hydraulics are optimized for a given drilling condition.
In order for the flow through all the devices (26) in the drill string (16) to also be
optimized, the flow through the devices (26) is adjusted, thereby setting the
pressure drop and the fluid flow rate through each device (26). As required for

directory spaces are embodied as directory servers, services or similar components of
computer operating systems. In some embodiments, dissimilar protective transformations
include differing hashes (or encryption) techniques or facilities employed by products
available from Sun Microsystems, Inc., on the one hand, and Microsoft Corporation on
another. The mechanism is responsive to a change in the second store, invalidating a
corresponding entry in the first store. Upon receipt, by the first store, of an authentication
request that includes a credential and which corresponds to the invalidated entry, the method
chains the authentication request to the second store. If the authentication at the second

Abstract: There is provided an acoustic sound reproducing apparatus for a first
audio signal and having an input terminal for receiving a second audio signal, a
selector switch and at least one loudspeaker. The at least one loudspeaker is driven
by an output signal from one of the first or second audio signal through the selector
switch. As a result, the acoustic sound reproducing apparatus, and the apparatus
providing the second audio signal, can commonly use a single loudspeaker or set of
loudspeakers. When the external audio signal is selected, the internal loudspeaker(s)
becomes part of the external loudspeaker arrangement for a surround sound system.
When more than one loudspeaker is used, the loudspeakers are connected to each
other in series when they are connected to be driven by the external second audio
input signal instead of each being driven by their respective amplifiers. This permits
the loudspeakers to be driven by an external amplifier having a higher power output
than the internal power amplifier so that the loudspeakers will not be damaged when
driven by a higher power external amplifier.
