A method and apparatus for the transmission and reception of broadcasted instrumental music, vocal music, and speech using digital techniques. The data is structured in a manner similar to the current standards for MIDI data. Transmitters broadcast the data to receivers which contain internal sound generators or an interface to external sound generators that create sounds in response to the data. The invention includes transmission of multiple audio data signals for several languages on a conventional radio and television carrier through the use of low bandwidth data. Error detection and correction data is included within the transmitted data. The receiver has various error compensating mechanisms to overcome errors in data that cannot be corrected using the error correcting data that the transmitter sent. The data encodes for elemental vocal sounds and music.

A prosthetic limb has an outer surface that is a mirror image of an intact limb or a generic limb design. The intact limb is scanned and the surface data is manipulated to create a virtual mirror image. If generic data is used, the intact leg can be measured and the generic surface can be adjusted so the prosthetic limb appears similar to the intact limb. The end of the amputated limb is also measured to obtain socket data. A knee and foot are incorporated to form a virtual prosthetic limb represented by design data. The design data for the virtual prosthetic limb is forwarded to a rapid prototyping machine that fabricates the entire leg simultaneously. Once completed, the prosthetic limb is shipped to the patient.

A voltage for reference at a voltage level higher than a target value is produced from a constant current provided from a constant current generating circuit, and is subjected to resistance division by a resistance division circuit to produce a reference voltage at the target level, and then a final reference voltage is produced by a voltage follower. An internal voltage generating circuit thus provided can generate the reference voltage having the desired voltage level with high accuracy as well as an internal voltage based on the reference voltage by controlling temperature characteristic even with a low power supply voltage.

The invention discloses a bow-type cultivation trunk molding method of lythraceae lagerstroemia trunks. The method mainly includes the following steps: (1) designing trunk molds, deconstructing the molds into single-plant technical atlases, and selecting a planting bed for cultivating nursery-grown plants; (2) manufacturing and installing a supporting net frame in the planting bed; (3) manufacturing and installing a bow-shaped cultivation trunk molding ladder frame on the supporting frame; (4) carrying out bud fixing and bud picking on the nursery-grown plants; (5) binding and fixing twigs on the bow-shaped cultivation trunk molding ladder frame; (6) unbinding and exchanging binding objects which are not beneficial for trunk growth; (7) carrying out multi-point nurse grafts on the bow-shaped trunks according to molding design; and (8) cultivating in a healing mode, constructing crowns, the trunks and branches, and forming the target molds. The bow-type cultivation trunk molding method of the lythraceae lagerstroemia trunks is creative. Moreover, the nurse grafts can be carried out on single plants of the certain number to obtain the molded trunks, molding time is shortened, and characters, patterns or three-dimensional bodies can also be molded on planes or curved surfaces of the trunks.

The forming process of a thin film pattern of the invention can be a process of forming a thin film pattern by arranging a functional liquid on a substrate P. The process can include a bank forming step to set up banks protrudingly on the substrate corresponding to the thin film pattern, a repellent liquefaction step of imparting a liquid repellent property to the bank by CF₄ plasma processing, and a material arranging step of arranging the functional liquid between the banks imparted with the liquid repellent property.

The present invention relates to a laser guided and powered directed energy weapon that combines two different lasers to accurately and efficiently deliver a high energy electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to a target at long range. The method uses a high energy laser pulse with relatively long pulse duration focused in air to create a plasma ball which emits an intense EMP. Typically the long pulse duration of high energy lasers would severely limit focal accuracy and effective range because of air pressure variations and pollutants in the atmosphere. However the present invention uses a second ultrafast laser to create a long thin optical plasma filament between the variable location of the plasma ball and the target to act as a stable electrical connection or conducting wire. Consequently EMP can be efficiently channeled to the target via the optical filament, thereby dramatically increasing potential accuracy, range and energy delivery efficiency.

An optical waveguide element capable of being coupled with optical fibers at high coupling efficiency is to be provided. Also an optical waveguide element manufacturing method permitting accurate production of such optical waveguide elements is to be provided. The optical waveguide element is provided with a buffer layer formed over a monocrystalline substrate and an optical waveguide layer formed over the buffer layer, and a recess is formed in the buffer layer along the lengthwise direction of the monocrystalline substrate. The optical waveguide layer is provided to fit into this recess to form a channel optical waveguide. Over the upper face of the optical waveguide layer on the light incidence side and the light emission side, a cladding layer whose refractive index is smaller than that of the optical waveguide layer and whose thickness increases towards the end face(s) in a flared shape is provided in the same width as that of the monocrystalline substrate. By providing the cladding layer whose refractive index is smaller than that of the optical waveguide layer, it is made possible to expand the mode field diameter and substantially reduce the coupling loss between the optical fiber and the optical waveguide element. Further by increasing the thickness of the cladding layer in a flared shape toward the end face(s), it is made possible to gradually compress the mode field diameter and to reduce the optical propagation loss within the optical waveguide.
