Abstract: A font generation apparatus includes: a basic font storage section storing a font character of a basic font for generating a font character; a feature parameter storage section storing a feature parameter expressing a feature of the font character; a genetic algorithm processing section generating plural new feature parameters by performing genetic algorithm processing on the feature parameter; a font generation section generating new font characters by deforming the font character of the basic font based on the plural generated feature parameters; and a display unit displaying the generated new font characters. The genetic algorithm processing section determines the feature parameter according to the preferences of a user based on a font character selected by the user from among the new font characters displayed on the display unit. The font generation section creates a font based on the determined feature parameter according to the preferences of the user.

Abstract: A method for improving or eliminating second harmonic and higher even order distortion terms and balance of fundamental signals in push-pull amplifiers and other differential circuits is disclosed. A common-mode (CM) signal is generated as a sum of two complementary (out of phase) signals in a summation network. The CM signal contains even order distortion terms only, while the fundamental signal and odd order distortion terms are canceled, thus providing a correction signal that can be used to reduce even order distortion terms, by injecting the correction signal, with proper phase and amplitude, into suitable circuit nodes. For feedback, the correction signal is injected at the input of the amplifiers, for feed-forward, it's injected at the output. The correction signal can be amplified to higher levels and injected into the circuit, without affecting gain of fundamental signals; and can result in significant even order distortion improvements, and improved balance of complementary fundamental signals.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the protection of germinating seed from pesticide, wherein seed-containing pellets and pesticide-containing pellets are sown separately but simultaneously. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the pesticide-containing pellets have substantially the same shape and diameter as the seed-containg pellets, and the pesticide-containing pellets comprise the exact dosis of pesticide that is sufficient for one seed germ. Generally, the pellets with pesticide have a diameter ranging from 0,5–5.

Abstract: In order to be able to identify television or video images (V1,V2) as identical, predeterminable parameters (H1, H2) of the images (V1, V2) to be tested are compared with each other. Images whose parameters, preferably the average brightness (H1, H2), fall within a predeterminable tolerance range, are identified as identical images. Thus, e.g. in a television reception equipment, particularly a mobile one, the images of all receivable transmitters are tested. Images identified as identical are allocated to the same transmitters or the same programs, the channels of which are stored as alternative channels. When there is bad reception or bad image quality an alternative channel is switched to.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer game, which, when operating on a computer enables a user, via a user's interface, to perform one or more tasks within a virtual environment, the virtual environment comprising a virtual three dimensional dental image of at least one tooth and the tasks performed by the user leading to the improvement of a certain virtual condition associated with said at least one tooth. The three dimensional dental image employed in the computer game is preferably based on or derived from a real life dental environment. The invention further relates to a storage medium for storing data representation of the above computer game and to a method of playing the computer game of the present invention using a computer.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus for preparing sterilizing water, which comprises an electrolyzer wherein an anode chamber (10) and a cathode chamber (20) partitioned by an ion exchange membrane (40) form a unit cell (A), being alternately arranged and successively equipped with close relation; water inlets (61, 62) and water outlets (71, 72) are provided on the end plate (60, 70) at both ends of the electrolyzer; said anode chamber (10) and cathode chamber (20) having circulative openings at the vicinity of each edge at both sides centered from anode plate (11) and cathode plate (21), of which two circulative openings of diagonal direction among them have plural passages of fan-shape, in order for water introduced through the openings to pass through the passages to rapidly go through each electrode; and a gap-control gasket (30) and a gasket for preventing leakage of electrolyte (31) having plural horizontal members are provided at the center to form an anode reaction chamber (13) and a cathode r

Abstract: A filling level sensor comprises a tunable electrical resonant circuit, a mechanical oscillator that can be excited to resonance oscillation by the resonant circuit, and a control circuit for tuning the resonant circuit to a resonance frequency of the mechanical oscillator. A device for comparing the amplitude of the mechanical oscillator with a minimum value ascertains a malfunction of the mechanical oscillator if its amplitude falls below the minimum value.

Abstract: A system and method which allows third-parties to monitor company inventory via the Internet and World Wide Web (“web”) and automatically order needed items. The present invention also provides a forum through which resellers and customers may directly interact to resell surplus and used equipment. The present invention may also allow a third party to act as a broker, thereby assuring that both the equipment purchased is actually delivered, and that the seller is properly compensated.

Abstract: A method for preventing to form a spacer undercut in SEG preclean process is provided. This present invention utilizes HFEG solution to etch the first spacer and the second spacer simultaneously, which can prevent from producing a spacer undercut, meanwhile; a native oxide layer upon a surface of a semiconductor substrate is removed. Hence, the clean surface on the semiconductor substrate is obtained. This method includes the steps as follows: Firstly, the native oxide layer upon the surface of the semiconductor substrate is removed by DHF (HF in deionized water) solution. Then, etching the first spacer and the second spacer at the same time by HFEG (HF diluted by ethylene glycol) solution. Also, the native oxide upon the semiconductor substrate is removed. Therefore, it obtains the clean semiconductor surface without a serious spacer undercut.
