摘要： A system and method for time-shifting a live broadcast, and facilitating the purchase of live or time-shifted broadcast content. The device records broadcast content being listened to by user, which gives the user the option to replay content. The device and method also provides a preview service that allows the user to experience fresh media content on a regular basis, even where a live signal is not available. The broadcast source broadcasts new content on a regular basis to avoid providing users with stale content. The user identifies content using the device and data is stored that corresponds to the identified content. The broadcast source or a third-party content provider uses the corresponding data to provide the identified content to the user. In addition to audio content, the device also provides and facilitates the acquisition of video, graphics, text or any other media content.

摘要： A radio receiver and method of controlling the same are provided for use in a digital digital audio radio services system. An improved user interface takes advantage of ancillary data transmitted with a digital broadcast signal to contemporaneously display song titles, artist names, channels categories, and other information on said radio receiver, and to allow a user to select channels based on the ancillary data.

摘要： An ion beam deposition target source consisting of a removable, centrally located inner insert surrounded by an outer region. The insert can be removed and replaced when eroded, while the outer region of the target source not eroded by the ion beam remains in place attached to a backing plate. The inner insert and the outer region are joined to each other by an interface comprising an interlocking lip or grove structure located on opposing mating surfaces on the inner insert and outer region, thereby forming the deposition target source when these components are united. The deposition target source can be attached by a bonding layer to a backing plate which is installed into an ion beam deposition machine.

摘要： Disclosed in this specification is a process for refurbishing a spent sputtering target. The process includes the step of applying sufficient heat and axial force to the filled sputtering target to hot press the filled sputtering target such that the powdered metal fuses with the un-sputtered metal, producing a refurbished target. The process may be used to refurbish precious metal targets, such as ruthenium targets.
