  • Publication number: 20100229663
    Abstract: An adjustable head tool (AHT) is configured for positioning a free motion headform (FMH) having a regulated FMH backoff requirement prior to an impact between the FMH and a target surface having a target point. The AHT has a built-in or a variable backoff angle relative to the position of the target point, and includes a cranial portion and an adjustable facial template. The cranial portion encloses a linkage assembly, and the facial template has one or more facial features. A rotary dial translates the facial template with respect to the cranial portion to maintain the regulated FMH backoff requirement. The cranial portion includes a forehead impact zone having a first set of demarcations, and the rotary dial has a second set of demarcations corresponding to the first set of demarcations. The dial is set so the second set of demarcations matches the first set during positioning of the AHT.

  • Publication number: 20100235161
    Abstract: A simultaneous interpretation system includes headsets for inputting and outputting voice, and a portable terminal for receiving an original language voice speech signal to be interpreted that is output from the first headset. The portable terminal outputs an interpreted voice speech signal based on the original language voice speech signal that has been interpreted into a different language to the second headset. The portable terminal either performs the interpretation or accesses an interpretation server to provide the second headset with the interpreted voice speech signal. Hence, the simultaneous interpretation is carried out using the short-range communication between the users by medium of the single portable terminal and thus more efficient and unrestricted conversation is realized.

  • Publication number: 20100232215
    Abstract: The free layer in a magneto-resistive memory element is stabilized through being pinned by an antiferromagnetic layer. A control valve layer provides exchange coupling between this antiferromagnetic layer and the free layer. When writing data into the free layer, the control valve layer is heated above its curie point thereby temporarily uncoupling the free layer from said antiferromagnetic layer. Once the control valve cools, the free layer magnetization is once again pinned by the antiferromagnetic layer.
