Systems and methods for navigating hypermedia using multiple coordinated input/output device sets. Disclosed systems and methods allow a user and/or an author to control what resources are presented on which device sets (whether they are integrated or not), and provide for coordinating browsing activities to enable such a user interface to be employed across multiple independent systems. Disclosed systems and methods also support new and enriched aspects and applications of hypermedia browsing and related business activities.

Disclosed is an ultrasonic surgical instrument that combines end-effector geometry to best affect the multiple functions of a shears-type configuration. The shape of the blade is characterized by a radiused cut offset by some distance to form a curved geometry. The cut creates a curved surface with multiple asymmetries causing multiple imbalances within the blade. Imbalance due to the curve of the instrument is corrected by a non-functional asymmetry proximal to the functional asymmetry. Imbalance due to the asymmetric cross-section of the blade is corrected by the appropriate selection of the volume and location of material removed from a functional asymmetry. The shape of the blade in one embodiment of the present invention is characterized by two radiused cuts offset by some distance to form a curved and potentially tapered geometry. These two cuts create curved surfaces including a concave surface and a convex surface. The length of the radiused cuts affects, in part, the acoustic balancing of the transverse motion induced by the curved shape.

A nitride semiconductor light-emitting device has an active layer of a single-quantum well structure or multi-quantum well made of a nitride semiconductor containing indium and gallium. A first p-type clad layer made of a p-type nitride semiconductor containing aluminum and gallium is provided in contact with one surface of the active layer. A second p-type clad layer made of a p-type nitride semiconductor containing aluminum and gallium is provided on the first p-type clad layer. The second p-type clad layer has a larger band gap than that of the first p-type clad layer. An n-type semiconductor layer is provided in contact with the other surface of the active layer.

Disclosed is an abrasive sheet (10) having an abrasive particle (13) layer formed on a surface of a thin flexible resin film (11). The abrasive sheet (10) is produced by the steps of: preparing a releasable film; forming a thin flexible resin film (11) layer on a release agent applied surface of said releasable film; forming an abrasive particle (13) layer on an upper surface of said resin film (11) layer; thereafter, removing said resin film (11) having said abrasive particle (13) layer formed thereon from said releasable film; and cutting said resin film (11) having said abrasive particle (13) layer formed thereon into any suitable size. The abrasive sheet (10) can provide higher polishing power during the polishing operation, but it polishes a surface while tracing or following any orange peel on the surface. Therefore, the abrasive sheet (10) is effective for use as the polishing tool that can replace with the fine compound buffing process currently utilized in the automobile repairing industry.

A solution of an organic compound containing at least a polymer is treated by adding an amount of water to said solution, distilling the organic compound to recover the organic compound, and optionally incinerating the remained aqueous solution containing the polymer.

A wet type clutch friction plate having a friction member (21) connected to one or both side surfaces of a core plate (20) and formed with a number of oil grooves (22) establishing communication between the inner and outer peripheral edges of the friction member (21), wherein the plurality of oil grooves (22) having a discharge angle (β) for discharging oil from the inner to outer peripheral sides of a friction plate (15) during rotation of the latter and a plurality of oil grooves (22) having an inflow angle (α) for drawing oil from the outer to inner peripheral sides of the friction plate (15) alternate with each other at substantially equispaced intervals. Thus, it is possible to stabilize the friction characteristics during transition of clutch connection and to reduce a dragging phenomenon due to oil viscosity resistance during clutch-off.

3-N-(L-Aspartyl)amino-1-fenchyl-2-butanol or 3-N-(L-­aspartyl)amino-4-fenchyl-2-butanol are of the formula:
 wherein R₁ is a methyl group and R₂ is a homofenchyl group, or R₁ is homofenchyl and R₂ is methyl. Synthesis is by converting 1 -fenchone to fenchylalde­hyde, which is converted by one of two routes to one of the two isomers of fenchylamino alcohol, and the isomer is reacted with monobenzyl-L-aspartate having a protective group (e.g. carbonbenzoxy), and the protective group is then removed. The compounds have excellent sweetness characteristics and are useful as a sweetener which has good stability in acidic aqueous solutions.
