Abstract: A method and apparatus for crushing and sorting cans
to collect waste cans in an optimal weight-to-volume ratio.
The can crushing and sorting method adapted to crush and
sort cans by use of a can crushing device, into which the
cans are sequentially supplied, involves an object
determining step for determining, by a proximity sensor (124)
installed at a can supply unit (120), whether or not an object is
supplied, and then whether or not the supplied object is a
can or a foreign matter, a can supplying step for if it is
determined that the supplied object is a can, opening an
opening/closing plate (122) installed at the can supply unit,
thereby supplying the can into a crushing/sorting/discharging
unit (30), and a can crushing/sorting/discharging
step for crushing the supplied can by a crushing plate (35)
installed in the crushing/sorting/discharging unit (30), sorting
the crushed can using an electromagnetic force applied to
the crushing plate by electromagnets (34) mounted to the crushing
plate (35), in accordance with the material of the can, and then
discharging the sorted can.

Abstract: In a content distribution system, a recording-management system makes a storing section of a first terminal device store a predetermined content stored in a content-storing section of a distribution device obligatorily. Under this condition, when a second terminal device requests the recording management system to distribute the predetermined content, the recording management system transmits the address identifying the first terminal device that stores the predetermined content to the second terminal device. The content stored in the first terminal device is transmitted and received between the second terminal device and the first terminal device having the received address through a user network to obtain the predetermined content. Thus, the content requested by a given terminal device can be distributed to the terminal device that has made the request without increasing the scale of the distribution device.

Abstract: A mobile station supporting selective transmit diversity (STD) efficiently
transmits forward channel status information to a base station in a 1xEV-DV
mobile communication system. The mobile station receives signals transmitted
from the base station through a plurality of transmission antennas, measures
signal strengths of the received signals, compares the measured signal strengths
after compensating for a transmission power difference between the transmission
antennas, and selects a transmission antenna having the highest signal strength.
The mobile station transmits forward channel status information indicating
measured signal strength for a signal transmitted from the selected transmission
antenna to the base station along with antenna selection information indicating
the selected transmission antenna. The forward channel status information
includes absolute status information representing measured signal strength for a
transmission antenna selected at a current time interval, or relative status
information representing a result obtained by comparing the measured signal
strength for the transmission antenna selected at the current time interval with
measured signal strength for a transmission antenna selected at a previous time
interval.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the authoritativeness of a document based on textual, non-topical cues. The authoritativeness of a document is determined by evaluating a set of document content features contained within each document to determine a set of document content feature values, processing the set of document content feature values through a trained document textual authority model, and determining a textual authoritativeness value and/or textual authority class for each document evaluated using the predictive models included in the trained document textual authority model. Estimates of a document's textual authoritativeness value and/or textual authority class can be used to re-rank documents previously retrieved by a search, to expand and improve document query searches, to provide a more complete and robust determination of a document's authoritativeness, and to improve the aggregation of rank-ordered lists with numerically-ordered lists.

Abstract: If a CRL is cached for an increased speed of a
certificate validation process, when a certification
authority issues a CRL in an urgent situation, the accuracy
of the certificate validation result cannot be secured
because the cached CRL is not the latest one. This problem
is solved as follows. When it issues a CRL, the
certification authority sends a CRL issuance notification to
certificate validation servers. The certificate validation
servers that received the CRL issuance notification cache
the latest CRL. Thus, the accuracy of the certificate
validation result can be secured.
