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.

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.

Module substrates each having the functions of input, power supply, and output/communication corresponding to the required model are attached to a base substrate having shared bus wiring. Thus, amain CPU of an input module can discriminate the respective module substrates to perform the control operation corresponding to the model, thereby sharing the module substrates among different models.

A ceramic shaped body-positioning system which can accurately position even a thin-walled ceramic honeycomb shaped body without occurring deformations, cracks and breakages of the ceramic shaped bodies and which is particularly suitable for positioning odd-shaped products is provided. A positioning system 1 for a ceramic shaped body 2 is used for positioning the ceramic shaped body 2 to accurately convey the ceramic shaped body 2 to the next step. The positioning system 1 comprises a centering table 3 for placing the ceramic shaped body 2, a plurality of chucking unit 4-1 each consisting of a chucking body 5-1 and a pair of ceramic shaped body-pushing members 5-1a and 5-lb provided in the chucking body, and a drive unit 6 for moving the chucking unit 4-1 toward/away from the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table 3. The plurality of chucking units 4-1 and 4-2 are simultaneously moved toward the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table 3 while controlling positions and speeds of the chucking units 4-1 and 4-2, thereby adjusting the position of the ceramic shaped body 2 on the centering table without giving a shock on the ceramic shaped body
