Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of recording
thumbnail pictures for recorded still pictures onto a
recording medium. The present method records onto a recording
medium a thumbnail in a thumbnail management file that
accommodates all thumbnails, wherein the thumbnail is
associated with a still picture, a mark or a menu item, and
writes link information to link the recorded thumbnail with an
associated still picture, mark, or menu item. Through the
recorded thumbnails in association with still pictures, marks,
and/or menu items, a user is able to find easily a desired
still picture or a still-picture section.

Abstract: Apparatus for the gravity-cast, bottom-fill, "lost foam" casting of
metal castings, including a fugitive, pyrolizable pattern (for forming a
casting cavity), and a hollow sprue (for conducting melt to the casting cavity)
embedded in a bed of loose sand. The sprue is free from pyrolyzable foam
and conducts melt from above the pattern to a gating system supplying melt
to the pattern. The sprue is constructed so as to cause the melt to approach
the gating system from beneath and keep any pyrolysis products from
entering the sprue.

Patent EP-1406222-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MORIOKA MASASHI
IPC: G06Q50/26
Filed: 2003-10-01
Abstract: Service procedures and/ or message formats such as encryption
and attachment of a digital signature are properly used according to an
available amount of money defined in a certificate of service, network
environments such as intensity of security, transmission band and
locations of communication paths and operation policy, whereby the
system enables to shorten service providing time, to adjust the intensity
of security and to reduce the amount of information transmitted through
the information network. It is preferable to encrypt a part of the
information or to attach a digital signature to the part of the information,
instead of encrypting all information or attaching the digital signature to
all information. Consequently, encryption of only the important portion
of the information can be available. It is further preferable to store a part
of the information into a storage device, instead of containing a part of the
information into the body of the message to be sent, and to contain
information of the location in the storage device into the body of the
message to be sent. As a result, the amount of information transmitted
through the information network can be reduced. This technique is
particularly effective for an attachment of low usage information.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air intake control device for an internal combustion engine, wherein an air passage 2 is provided with an air passage groove 5 that supplies a required volume of air to the side downstream from the fully closed position of a valve body 3 for control purposes. Further, a taper is formed in such a way that a predetermined volume of air can be supplied, even if positional variations have occurred to the valve body 3. This arrangement allows the volume of air required for the traveling of a car to be supplied, without increasing the number of parts, even if the valve body 3 has stuck downstream from the controlled area. This arrangement also permits a stable supply of air flow at the idle position of the valve body 3.

Abstract: An apparatus for correcting limb alignment in a unicondylar knee
arthroplasty and linking the distal femoral cut and the proximal tibial cut. Alignment rods are
connected to a spacing apparatus to facilitate correction of limb alignment. The alignment
rods are positioned along the mechanical axis of the femur and the tibia and the knee joint is
positioned to correct alignment. A spacing apparatus is positioned in the relevant knee
compartment and utilized to hold the knee in position to correct limb alignment. The spacing
apparatus includes a femoral cut slot through which the distal femoral cut is made and further
includes tibial affixment apertures through which a headless securing device can be
positioned to secure the spacing apparatus to the tibia. After the distal femoral resection is
complete, the spacing apparatus is removed, with the headless securing devices remaining
positioned in the tibia. The headless securing devices are used as a reference for securing a
tibial cut block to the tibia for making the proximal tibial resection. With the mechanism of
the present invention, the knee can be placed in flexion when making the proximal tibial cut
and the distal femoral cut is linked to the proximal tibial cut.

Title: Retail store performance optimization system
Inventor: BAYDAR CEM M
IPC: G06Q30/00
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: A retail store performance optimization system has a simulator and an optimization system. The simulator provides individual discounts and determines the retail store performance in relation to the individual discounts. The individual discounts are responsive to input parameters such as price variables, customer models, and user inputs. Product price variables include purchasing costs, inventory costs, and replenishment rates. Customer models represent customer shopping behaviors. User inputs include a store strategy providing the relative importance of profits, sales volume, and customer loyalty. The optimization or individual discount system uses a modified simulated annealing operation to determine the optimal or better individual discounts for each customer that optimize store performance. The modified simulated annealing operation provides individual discounts in response to an objective function and customer models. The objective function is a mathematical representation of the retail store strategy for optimizing performance.
