The present invention provides a content locating method and a content delivery network node. In this case, the content locating method provided by the present invention comprises: receiving by a first content delivery network CDN node a service request sent by a service control function entity or an IPTV service control function entity, wherein this service request carries a content identifier which is used to indicate requesting content corresponding to this content identifier; if the first CDN node cannot provide the content service requested by the service request, then the first CDN node sends an inquiry request to a CDN global controller so as to acquire the information about a second CDN node which can provide the content service requested by the service request and request the second CDN node to provide the content service. By way of the present invention, the pressure of the CDN global controller can be reduced and the processing delay of CDN can be shortened.

In evaporative deposition method, vaporized deposition material is supplied to a nozzle and is held by the nozzle because of temperature decrease thereof. Then, the deposition material is vaporized by heating the nozzle, thereby forming a thin film of the material on a substrate. A evaporative deposition apparatus includes a nozzle for holding deposition material. The apparatus also includes a temperature adjuster for heating and cooling the nozzle and a supplier, communicating with the nozzle, for supplying the vaporized deposition material to the nozzle. A method for forming a pattern of deposition material includes: preparing an evaporative deposition-material plate including a thin film of deposition material formed on one principal surface of a light-transmitting plate; moving the evaporative deposition-material plate within a plane parallel to a substrate; and irradiating the evaporative deposition-material plate with a laser beam incident on the other principal surface of the plate.

A data communication system is so adapted that even if E-mail received by a mobile telephone has an image file attached thereto, the image represented by the image file can be displayed. An E-mail file is received by a mobile telephone and text represented by text data contained in the file is displayed on the display screen of the mobile telephone. When a received E-mail file has an image file attachment, the portable telephone interrogates a digital still camera as to whether the camera is capable of displaying the image contained in this image file. When the camera is capable of displaying the image, the image file is transmitted to the camera. The image represented by the image file is then displayed on the display screen of the camera.

The present invention includes methods and apparatus therefrom for preparing thin films of doped semiconductors for radiation detector and photovoltaic applications, and particularly method and apparatus that increase dopants of alkali metals in Group IBIIIAVIA layers. In a particular aspect, the present invention includes a method of preparing a doped Group IBIIIAVIA absorber layer for a solar cell, with the absorber layer being formed by reaction, with a Group VIA material, of a metallic stack with a plurality of layers, in which each layer contains a concentration of an alkali metal selected from the group of Na, K and Li.

A silicon-containing insulation film is formed on a substrate by plasma reaction using a reaction gas including (i) a source gas comprising a silicon-containing hydrocarbon compound containing multiple cross-linkable groups, (ii) a cross-linking gas, and (iii) an inert gas, into a reaction chamber where a substrate is placed. The insulation film is then exposed to electron beam radiation, thereby increasing mechanical strength of the film without substantial alternation of its dielectric constant.

A method for generating electrical energy from a first motion having a low and/or variable frequency is provided. The method including: transferring the first motion to a first device; and intermittently transferring the first motion from the first device to a second device operating at a frequency which is higher and/or more constant that the first motion.

A method for generating digital rights The invention is used for solving the problem that in the prior art, the plaintext information of a work is uploaded to a block chain for preservation so as to realize copyright storage of the work, thereby causing high construction cost of a digital copyright storage system on the one hand, and unfriendly uploading of the plaintext information on the other hand to paid works on the other hand. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining relevant information of the work, wherein, the work-related information includes author information and work information; performing hashing operation on the work-related information to obtain a hash value of the work-related information; acquiring a unique identification code generated for the work; the hashvalue of the work-related information and the unique identification code are uploaded to the digital rights server, so that the digital rights server stores the hash value in the copyright block chaindatabase as the digital rights of the work. The present application also discloses a digital copyright generating apparatus.

The present invention provides an information processing device includes: a biometrics device, an interface control unit for controlling the biometrics device, a first storage unit for concealing a user identifier and user authentication information, a second storage unit for storing a program executed by the information processing device, and a processor for releasing the concealment of the first storage unit based on the program stored in the second storage unit and acquiring biometrics information inputted from the biometrics device, so as to compare it with the user authentication information. Thus, it is possible to prevent lowering of user-friendliness and increase of the cost when using an external authentication device in a laptop type personal computer and to provide an authentication control configuration and an authentication procedure optimal for an information processing device such as a laptop type personal computer.

A wireless adapter and method for providing a wireless connection to at least one wired security device includes at least one combined data/power physical port to which the wired security device connects. A power supply module receives power from an external power source and a power injector provides power to the combined data/power physical port to thereby power the wired security device. In this way, the wireless adapter supplies both power and data connection at the same physical port/jack of the wired security devices, such as IP security cameras, via an interface cable from the wireless adapter. This configuration has advantages in lowering the manufacturing costs of the cameras and reducing installation costs. Furthermore, the same standard camera can be used for both standard wired connections and wireless connections.
