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 vibrator (10) comprises a regular triangular prism-shaped vibrating body (12). On centers of three side faces of the vibrating body (12), piezoelectric elements (14a, 14b, 14c) are formed, respectively. Two piezoelectric elements (14a, 14b) are used for driving and detecting. The other piezoelectric element (14c) is used for feedback. By trimming a ledge-line portion (12a) of the vibrating body (12), a resonance frequency on driving side is controlled. By trimming ledge-line portions (12b, 12c) of the vibrating body (12), two resonance frequencies on detecting side are controlled.

For each teaching image, a plurality of patterns of color pickup regions each include a first region (73) for picking up a color of a first part and a second region (74) for picking up a color of a second part are set, a color of each pixel in the first region (73) and a color of each pixel in the second region (74) are mapped as a target point and an exclusion point, respectively to a color space for each of the patterns of the color pickup regions, a degree in separation between a target point distribution and an exclusion point distribution in the color space is calculated for each of the patterns of the color pickup regions, a pattern of a color pickup region having a maximum degree in separation is selected, a color range which divides the color space and has the largest difference between the number of target points and the number of exclusion points in the selected pattern therein is found, and the found color range is set as a color condition used for a board inspecting process.

A software operation monitoring apparatus for monitoring an operation of software under execution, including: a policy information storing unit configured to store policy information for distinguishing a monitoring target operation and out-of-monitoring operation of software; an execution history recording unit configured to record an execution history of the software; a first analysis unit configured to detect the monitoring target operation from the operation of the software under execution based on the policy information; and a second analysis unit configured to analyze the execution history recorded in the execution history recording unit for the operation detected by the first analysis unit, and determine an existence of a gap of the software from a normal operation.

A remaining power amount recognition circuit (20) arranged in an encapsulated endoscope (2) recognizes a remaining power amount of an in-examiner introduction device (encapsulated endoscope (2)). The information on the remaining power amount is superposed on a transmission signal and transmitted from an RF transmission unit (15) of the encapsulated endoscope (2) to a reception device (3) of outside the examinee. A remaining power amount detection circuit (48) arranged in an external device (32) of the reception device (3) detects the information on the remaining power amount and displays it on a display unit (51) arranged in the external device (32), so as to rapidly recognize the remaining power amount of the encapsulated endoscope (2).
