Abstract: A method for determining authenticity of an optical medium comprising modifying the optical medium, the optical medium including a first layer adjacent a data layer, the modifying the optical medium comprising selecting a region of the data layer to be distorted and prior to a reading operation of the medium, distorting the region of the data layer, the distorted region extending in a direction along a track of the data layer; performing a reading operation of the optical medium, the distorted region modifying the reading operation of data stored in the data layer corresponding to the distorted region, such that when data stored in the data layer corresponding to the distorted region is read, a measurable change in system performance of the reading operation results and the ability to perform the reading operation in the distorted region is maintained, the distorted region maintaining its optical characteristics following irradiation of the distorted region during the reading operation; detecting the measurable change in system performance; and authenticating the optical medium based on the measurable change in the system performance.

Abstract: An implantable dual chamber stimulation device provides a novel
detection scheme for automatically detecting atrial capture and
performing an atrial pacing threshold assessment. The stimulation device
preferably waits until the patient is at or near rest and monitors the
patient's P-wave activity to determine an detection window where a next
P-wave is expected to occur. The stimulation device then delivers an
atrial pulse prior to the next detection window, and monitors the window
to determine whether a P-wave occurs therein. If a P-wave does not
occur, then atrial capture is present, while occurrence of a P-wave
indicates absence of atrial capture. If atrial capture is absent; the
stimulation device automatically determines an appropriate atrial pacing
threshold by monitoring the detection window while adjusting the
stimulation pulse energy level. Advantageously, the present invention
further employs a "bottom-up" adjusting scheme which starts at a low
energy level, below the expected atrial pacing threshold, and increases
the energy level until atrial capture is detected, thus saving energy and
further avoiding corruption by large polarization signals. The latter feature
is compatible with the present detection scheme and conventional evoked
response detection schemes. The new atrial pacing threshold is then set
at the atrial pulse level at which atrial capture was effectuated plus a
predetermined safety margin.

Abstract: A method and system for obtaining a network address stored in a peripheral
device, and accessing a remote device at the network address to obtain information
related to the peripheral device. When the peripheral device is connected to a host
computer, the stored network address is read by the host computer. The network
address is preferably determined by the host computer when a peripheral device, such
as a USB device, is initially connected to the host device, or when the host device
with a newly connected USB is energized. The network address is then used by the
host device to communicate with a remote device so that information pertaining to the
peripheral device, such as a device driver for the peripheral device, can be accessed
by the host device at the remote device. In addition, the host device can download or
automatically execute a program stored at the remote device, download and install an
application program relating to use of the peripheral device, display a Web page that
includes information pertinent to the peripheral device, download documentation for
the peripheral device, access help information, download and install firmware into the
peripheral device and/or access other material related to the peripheral device.
Access of the remote device can be fully automated or can optionally be implemented
only with the permission of the user.

Abstract: This invention is designed to encode the image area
information of a multilevel image within a target size
without re-inputting the information. For this purpose,
from the multilevel image data input from the input unit
(101), an image area information generating unit (1701)
generates, for each pixel, image area information
constituted by an image area component indicating whether
the pixel exists in a character line drawing area or
halftone area and an image area component indicating
whether the pixel is chromatic or achromatic. A lossless
encoding unit (1705) encodes this information on a block
basis, and stores the resultant information in a third
memory (1709). An encoding control unit (1713) monitors
an amount of code. Upon determining that the amount of code
exceeds a target amount, the encoding control unit causes
the lossless encoding unit (1705) to perform encoding upon
changing image area components, of subsequently input image
area components, which coincide with a condition. The
codes that have already been stored in the third memory
(1709) are temporarily decoded by a lossless code
re-encoding unit (1715), and the above image area
components are changed. The resultant data is then
re-encoded and stored in the third memory (1709).
