Abstract: The present invention relates to magnetic or magnetoresistive random access memories (MRAMs). The present invention provides an array with magnetoresistive memory cells arranged in logically organized rows and columns, each memory cell including a magnetoresistive element (32A, 32B). The matrix comprises a set of column lines (34), a column line (34) being a continuous conductive strip which is magnetically couplable to the magnetoresistive element (32A, 32B) of each of the memory cells of a column. A column line (34) is shared by two adjacent columns, the shared column line (34) having an area which extends over substantially the magnetoresistive elements of the two adjacent columns sharing that column line. According to the present invention, the array furthermore comprises at least one supplementary column line (36A, 36B) per column for generating a localized magnetic field in the magnetoresistive elements (32A, 32B) of one of the adjacent columns sharing the column line (34). It is an advantage of the present invention that a higher density of the memory cells can be obtained, thus reducing space required to make a MRAM memory.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the automatic composition of media articles is disclosed. Previous attempts to do this have involved the manual production of a detailed framework listing the types of media elements that might be inserted into the slots specified in that framework and the subsequent selection of media elements for those slots. The present invention improves upon this by associating metadata (51) with the media elements in a content store, which metadata includes relationship data indicating how what is portrayed by that media element relates to what is portrayed by one or more other media elements. Because relationship metadata is included media articles can be generated automatically with the need for the production of a detailed framework describing that media article.

Abstract: Disclosed is a friction stir welding technique which
avoids occurrence of a dent, in a joining region, extending to
a level beneath the joined surfaces. At end portions of the
frame members (50, 60) to be joined, at the joining region, thickened
parts which project toward the rotary body joining tool (70) are
provided. Two adjoining thickened parts, of adjacent members
to be joined, can form a trapezoid shape. The rotary body
joining tool has a small-diameter tip portion and a larger
diameter portion. The rotary body joining tool is inserted in
the thickened parts. In a state where the rotary body joining
tool has been inserted small-diameter tip end first, to a
level where the larger diameter portion of the rotary body
joining tool overlaps the thickened part but does not extend
below the upper surface of the non-thickened surfaces of the
members joined, the rotary body is rotated and moved along the
joining region. Even when a gap exists between two thickened
parts, a desirable joining can be carried out. After the
joining, the remaining parts of the thickened parts can be
machined so as to form a smooth surface.

Abstract: The principles of the present invention provides for using directional antennas
to mitigate the effects of interference in a wireless network. An antenna device
includes an omni-directional antenna (206) and at least one directional antenna (207). Each
directional antenna (e.g., an electronically steered phased array antenna) can have one
or more feeds for directing beams at wireless devices. The antenna device utilizes the
omni-directional antenna to send and receive control data that facilitates locating
wireless devices (227,228,238,248) and determining when a wireless device is to send program data to or
receive program data from the antenna device. The antenna device utilizes directional
antennas to send program data to and receive program data from wireless devices.
Since directional antennas use directional beams, directional antennas can be tuned
channels with reduced interference based on the location of wireless devices relative
to the antenna device.

Abstract: The brush bristle groups are carried by separate segments(6) with gaps(16) between them on the brush head. A soft elastic layer(10) connects the segments to a holding rib(12) of the brush head connected to a handle. The supporting face of the holding rib(12) is identical to the surface of the brush head and the rib itself may have reduced thickness compared to the handle. The combination of the holding rib and soft elastic layer(10) has the same thickness as the brush neck close to the head. Several bristle carrying segments(6) may be arranged in the brush head length direction and/or in breadth direction behind one another and at a distance from each other. The soft elastic material layer extends to the underside of the bristle carrier segments. Holding rib, soft material layer and bristle carrying segments all cover the same area as the bristle head and form a three layer component. In one design the holding rib has one or more openings which extend to the underside of the brush head and are filled up with the material of the soft elastic layer. A central opening may accommodate all segments. Each segment carries between one and five bristle bundles. Bundles are fixed by embedding their melted ends in the segment material. An independent claim is included for a process for manufacturing the claimed brush, in particular a toothbrush, in which the handle and holding rib on one hand and the bristle segment or segments on the other hand are produced as separate injection moldings and a soft elastic layer is injected between the holding rib and segment to join them together.
