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.

Method and Apparatus for Browsing Using Alternative Linkbases

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.

The purpose of the invention is to more effectively utilize an
operation unit provided with an operation axis as an input unit of an
entertainment unit. To achieve this goal an entertainment unit which receives input
information from an operation unit calculates a displacement value with
respect to the rotation movement of the operation axis around a
predetermined standard axis based on the position information of the
operation axis included in the input information from the above described
operation unit and based on the displacement value the display condition
of the object is changed. According to anther mode of the present invention, the first
parameter is set based on the tilt angle of the above described operation
axis by the act of the user which tilts the operation axis of the operation
unit and the second parameter is set according to the rotation angle or
rotation angular velocity of the above described operation axis by the act
of the user which rotates the operation axis of the object to the right or to
the left. Then an evaluation value for the operation object can be set
based on the set values of the first and the second parameters. In this
case where either one of the set values of the first and the second
parameters exceeds a predetermined value the evaluation value of the
player character may be changed or, for example, clearing may occur.
