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.

A storage system including a plurality of interrelated storage devices enabling recovery and a guaranteed response time. When a data request comes from a host computer, and when the number of failed disk devices shows a change in a device state management table, a determination is made as to how many of the disk devices need be read. Such a determination is based on an actual reading redundancy that indicates how many of the disk devices are allowed to be in failure, at the time of data reading, for data recovery. The actual reading redundancy is the sum of the number of failed disk devices and a predetermined reading redundancy, which indicates how many of the disk devices are yet allowed to be fail whilst enabling data recovery. Then, the thus determined number of disk devices are selected in accordance with a selection factor, and a selection result is written into a read disk management table. Then, a reading process is executed with respect to the target disk devices written in the table.

Disclosed is a thin film-forming apparatus comprising
a coating liquid feed means 6 for feeding a thin film-forming
coating liquid onto a surface of a transfer roll 2,
a transfer means 4 including the transfer roll 2 a surface
of which is coated with the thin film-forming coating
liquid fed from the coating liquid feed means to form a
transfer thin film 8, and a substrate conveying means 16
for continuously conveying a substrate 9 under the transfer
roll, a surface of said substrate 9 being to be provided
with a thin film, wherein the transfer means is so
fabricated that the transfer roll surface having the
transfer thin film thereon is closely contacted with the
surface of the substrate conveyed by the substrate
conveying means, to transfer the transfer thin film formed
on the transfer roll surface to the substrate surface.
Also disclosed is a thin film-forming method using the thin
film-forming apparatus.
