Abstract: In the process of embedding watermark information in one-dimensional source data, first spread one-dimensional data x(t) is generated by subjecting one-dimensional source data s(t) to spectrum-spreading operation using a PN sequence g(t). This first spread one-dimensional data x(t) then undergoes a modified discrete cosine transformation. A specific frequency component value of the MDCT coefficients is modulated to provide association with the watermark information. The modulated frequency component then undergoes inverse transformation to generate second spread one-dimensional data x'(t). Then, using the same PN sequence in the spreading, the second spread one-dimensional data is subjected to spectrum-despreading to produce digitally watermarked one-dimensional data in which watermark data has been embedded. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor hetereostructure radiation detector for wavelengths in the infrared spectral range. The semiconductor heterostructure radiation detector is provided with an active layer composed of a multiplicity of periodically recurring single-layer systems each provided with a potential well structure having at least one quantum well with subbands (quantum well), the so-called excitation zone, which is connected on one side to a tunnel barrier zone, whose potential adjacent to the excitation zone is higher than the band-edge energy of a drift zone adjoining on the other side of the potential-well structure. The invention is characterized in that said drift zone is adjacent to a trap zone which is provided with at least one quantum-well structure containing subbands and is connected to the tunnel barrier zone of another single-layer system immediately adjacent in periodic sequence comprising an excitation zone, a drift zone, trap zone and a tunnel barrier zone, that the energy levels of said subbands of said quantum-well structures inside said excitation zone and said trap zone as well as the thickness of said tunnel barrier zone are set in such a manner that there is sufficient tunneling probability for the charge carriers to tunnel from the trap zone through the tunnel barrier zone into the excitation zone.

Abstract: A custom made liquid crystal display is formed from a pre-manufactured liquid crystal display (10) by removing an excess region (23). The driver card (20) is cut along the line X-X and the excess TABs are disconnected from the conductive layer (18). Optionally, a narrow strip is removed from each of the polarising substrates (15, 16) between the lines (22, 25) to expose their associated glass plates (12, 13). A groove (32 - see Figure 10) is then cut into the exposed surface of each of the glass plates (12, 13) along the line X-X. Each glass plate (12, 13) is then fractured along the base of its groove (32) so that the excess region (23) is detached from the operative region (24). The cut edges of the glass plates (12, 13) are then sealed by applying a bead of ultra-violet curing adhesive. The processes of removing an excess region (23) by cutting the glass plates (12, 13) with a laser or by freezing the liquid crystal between the glass plates (12, 13) and machining through the glass plates (12, 13) are also described.

Abstract: Methods of forming power semiconductor devices having merged split-well body regions include the steps of forming a semiconductor substrate containing a drift region of first conductivity type (e.g., N-type) therein extending to a first face thereof. First and second split-well body regions of second conductivity type (e.g., P-type) may also be formed at spaced locations in the drift region. First and second source regions of first conductivity type are also formed in the first and second split-well body regions, respectively. A central body/contact region of second conductivity type is also formed in the drift region, at a location intermediate the first and second split-well body regions. The central body/contact region preferably forms non-rectifying junctions with the first and second split-well body regions and a P-N rectifying junction with the drift region at a central junction depth which is less than the maximum well junction depths of the split-well body regions. First and second insulated gate electrodes may also be formed on the first face, opposite respective portions of the first and second split-well regions. Proper choice of drift region resistivity and implant conditions can be used to form preferred dumbbell-shaped body region and move the location of breakdown within the device to a location which facilitates decoupling of device characteristics. A drift region extension of relatively high conductivity can also be provided along the bottom of the central body region to further limit the degree of coupling between device characteristics.

Abstract: A method and system for transferring information using an encryption mode indicator (EMI). The present invention provides several secure information communication modes in which data (e.g., representing an audio/visual work) can be transmitted from a source device to a sink device (receiving station) in a number of secure modes. In one secure mode, EMI mode A, the information of the transmission is not allowed to be copied as a whole work; this is the highest level of copy protection. In second secure mode, EMI mode B, the information of the transmission is allowed to be copied once and once only by the sink device. In a third transmission mode, no encryption is used and free copying is available.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for selectively applying electrical energy to a target location within the gastrointestinal tract, such as the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). In one aspect of the invention, high frequency voltage is applied between the electrode terminal(s) and one or more return electrode(s) to remove a small tissue segment, channel or hole from the region near or in the LES to shrink the turbinates and prevent swelling, due to the formation of scar tissue as the wound heals. The high frequency voltage may be selected to effect a small amount of thermal damage to the walls of the channel or hole to facilitate the formation of scar tissue without extending this thermal damage beyond the immediate region of the target site. In another aspect, the high frequency voltage is selected to contract collagen fibers within the LES to improve its tone, thereby reducing the frequency of reflux.
