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 composite oxide includes CeO 2 , ZrO 2 and a metallic oxide being
free from reacting with CeO 2 and ZrO 2 at 700 °C or more, preferably at
900 °C or more and further preferably at 1,000 °C or more. The composite
oxide has a regulatory oriented phase, such as a pyrochlore phase, etc.,
in which at least a part of Ce cations and Zr cations are oriented
regularly. The composite oxide makes a catalytic support. The CeO 2 -ZrO 2 
composite oxide and the reaction-free metallic oxide make barriers each
other which suppress the granular growth when the composite oxide is
subjected to high-temperature heat in a reducing heat treatment to form
the regulatory oriented phase. The regulatory oriented phase improves
the oxygen storage-and-release capability of the catalytic support.
Thus, it is possible to simultaneously attain a large a specific surface
area and a high oxygen storage-and-release capability.
