摘要:
Distribution of content stored on read only media, and a system and method by which a consumer who purchased content stored on read only media implements a process in the field by which they alter the storage media and verifiably disable at least a portion of the stored content in support of a transaction. A system and tools are used by the consumer to identify, authenticate, disable, and confirm disablement in exchange for compensation, the acquisition of new usage rights to content, or the ability to restore access to or copy content to new media. The process may be conducted by the consumer in the field without assistance and or visual inspection, or be partially conducted in conjunction with an authorized intermediary. Furthermore, the process may restore access to content stored on new media without the need to transfer copies of content.

A clutch mechanism for use with a carrier of a linear drive device includes a housing, a first gear, and a first clutch arrangement. The first gear coupled to the housing and has gear teeth to engage a threaded shaft of a linear drive device. Rotation of the shaft causes the housing to move along the shaft in a first mode of operation. The first clutch arrangement prevents substantial rotation of the first gear. The first gear permits rotation of the first gear with respect to the housing. The housing can be manually moved along a length of the shaft, in a second mode of operation, by exerting a force on the housing. The rotational force applied to the first gear through the interaction of the threaded shaft and the gear teeth exceeds the first threshold.

A pharmaceutical tablet consists of a substrate containing a medicament and may be covered with a coating, said coating including a pigment comprising a natural water insoluble edible powder dyed with an edible natural dye. The pigment for coloring the tablet, or other pharmaceutical products, as well as food and cosmetics, is made by suspending a natural water insoluble edible powdered substrate in an aqueous vehicle and dyeing the suspended powdered substrate with an edible natural dye. The liquid is removed to obtain the dry pigment powder of the invention which then can be suspended in a suspending medium and used for coating products to be colored such as food, drug and cosmetic products.

The present invention is a telescopic drive device of a device for holding a surgical instrument. The telescopic drive device includes a support; a first telescopic stage carried by the support; a first telescopic stage carried by the support, the first telescopic stage being able to perform a first motion with respect to the support; a second telescopic stage, which is able to perform a second motion with respect to the first telescopic stage; and a drive system, which is operable to drive the first and second motions. The first telescopic element performs the first motion and the second telescopic element simultaneously performs the second motion. The telescopic drive is operable to support a further device and to move the further device such that the movement is centered around a point or wherein each of the telescopic elements is arcuate.

A toilet comprising a bowl sized to contain a fluid and a valve movable between an open position in which a liquid is delivered to the bowl and a closed position in which the liquid does not flow to the bowl. A sensor is operable to sense a liquid level within the bowl and an actuator is movable between a flush position and an idle position. A controller is operable to move the valve to the open position in response to movement of the actuator to the flush position and a liquid level within the bowl below a predetermined level.

A receiver for a mobile telephone system operating in a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) system, includes a gain control circuit coupled to receive an input signal, the circuit being switchable under the control of digital control signals between three gain or attenuation levels. An equalizer is coupled to receive the output signal from the gain control circuit. A signal strength unit determines the value of the received signals and provides the digital control signals so as to set the gain or attenuation level constant for a time slot of the TDMA system. The signal strength unit records the determined signal value so as to set the level of said gain control circuit prior to a predetermined time slot based upon measurements made during a preceding time period.
