A system for calculating mask data to create a desired layout pattern on a wafer reads all or a portion of a desired layout pattern. Mask data having pixels with transmission values is defined along with corresponding optimal mask data pixel transmission values. An objective function is defined that compares image intensities as would be generated on a wafer with an optimal image intensity at a point corresponding to a pixel. The objective function is minimized to determine the transmission values of the mask pixels that will reproduce the desired layout pattern on a wafer.

The invention provides a novel solid pharmaceutical dosage form which includes an opiate, an opiate antagonist admixed with the analgetic (opiate agonist) and an amount of a hydrocolloid containing excipient which is effective to form a non-injectable slurry when the dosage form is contacted with water. In addition the dosage form contains pure naloxone in enteric coated form which is designed to release in the colon to prevent or relieve constipation. Thus the formulation, because of the enteric coated naloxone and the hydrocolloid excipient(s), has reduced side effects as compared with formulations which do not contain these features.

The present invention provides a configuration for preventing each entity code stored in information recording media from being leaked. Authoring studio code (ASC) and disc manufacturer code (DMC) are encrypted without failure and the encrypted codes are stored in information recording media. The data setting location in program map table (PMT) is controlled such that these entity codes will not overlap the seed area that provides key generating information, so that, if the packet storing the program map table storing authoring studio code (ASC) and disc manufacturer code (DMC) is set to an arbitrary position in a content packet sequence, these entity codes will not overlap the seed area that is non-encrypted data, thereby preventing these entity codes from being leaked outside.

Techniques are able to lock and unlock and integrated circuit (IC) based device by encrypting/decrypting a bus on the device. The bus may be a system bus for the IC, a bus within the IC, or an external input/output bus. A shared secret protocol is used between an IC designer and a fabrication facility building the IC. The IC at the fabrication facility scrambles the bus on the IC using an encryption key generated from unique identification data received from the IC designer. With the IC bus locked by the encryption key, only the IC designer may be able to determine and communicate the appropriate activation key required to unlock (e.g., unscramble) the bus and thus make the integrated circuit usable.
