The current invention is an intracardiac pressure guided pacemaker. It has a sensor in pacemaker lead to sense intracardiac pressure, which is used to find the best pacing location in the cardiac chamber and to adjust the timing of pacing signal. It will optimize pacing location and pacing timing and, therefore, optimize resychronization of the contraction of myocardium and interaction between different cardiac chambers. This will improve cardiac function at the same working condition without increase in oxygen demand from myocardium. The pacemaker has a computer program, which, based on intracardiac pressure, can adjust pacing parameters of the pacemaker to optimize resynchronization of the myocardium and interaction between different cardiac chambers automatically at different heart rate and in certain time interval specified by care provider. This also can be achieved by using an interrogator manually. The pacemaker can also store profiles of pacing parameter and intracardiac pressure, which can be retrieved for review to help optimize cardiac performance.

The present invention discloses a method for implementing access restriction of mobile networks. The method includes the following steps: a Mobile Station (MS) inquiring a list of forbidden Public Land Mobile Networks (PLMNs) and access technology identifiers, which is saved by itself, when selecting a PLMN network; the MS determining whether the selected PLMN network and the access technology exist in the list of forbidden PLMNs and access technology identifiers, if they exist, the MS will not send a Location Updating Request to a Mobile Switching Center / Serving GPRS Support Node (MSC / SGSN); otherwise, the MS will send the Location Updating Request to the MSC / SGSN in order to access to the network. The present invention makes it possible to implement the access restrictions upon different types of access networks using different restriction rules. Furthermore, during the process of implementing the access restriction, the modification to the existing networks and user terminals is very small, the method is easy to implement and can well satisfy demands on the access restriction of operators.

A weather radar system has bright band detection and compensation. The weather radar system determines that high reflectivity in weather is a bright band and reduces an encoded return level from the bright band to compensate for it on a display. The weather radar system detects the presence of the bright band using an inference system that uses outside air temperature, aircraft altitude, and an assumed lapse rate to estimate the bright band location relative to the aircraft and uses antenna elevation to estimate bright band range to reduce the encoded radar return level on the display. The weather radar system may also detect the presence of the bright band using a detection system that uses radar estimates from normal reflectivity scan operation of the system. The weather radar system may also use an active detection process separate from a normal radar sampling process to detect the bright band.

A method of forming an improved Schottky diode structure as part of an integrated circuit fabrication process that includes the introduction of a selectable concentration of dopant into the surface of an epitaxial layer so as to form a barrier-modifying surface dopant layer. The epitaxial layer forms the cathode of the Schottky diode and a metal-silicide layer on the surface of the epitaxial layer forms the diode junction. The surface dopant layer positioned between the cathode and the diode junction is designed to raise or lower the barrier height between those two regions either to reduce the threshold turn-on potential of the diode, or to reduce the reverse leakage current of the transistor. The particular dopant conductivity used to form the surface dopant layer is dependent upon the conductivity of the epitaxial layer and the type of metal used to form the metal-silicide junction.

Access to memory address space is controlled by memory access control circuitry using access control data. The ability to change the access control data is controlled by domain control circuitry. Whether or not an instruction stored within a particular domain, being a set of memory addresses, is able to modify the access control data is dependent upon the domain concerned. Thus, the ability to change access control data can be restricted to instructions stored within particular defined locations within the memory address space thereby enhancing security. This capability allows systems to be provided in which call forwarding to an operating system can be enforced via call forwarding code and where trusted regions of the memory address space can be established into which a secure operating system may write data with increased confidence that that data will only be accessible by trusted software executing under control of a non-secure operating system.

Current methods of embedding hidden data in an image inevitably distort the original image by noise. This distortion cannot generally be removed completely because of quantization, bit-replacement, or truncation at the grayscales 0 and 255. The distortion, though often small, may make the original image unacceptable for medical applications, or for military and law enforcement applications where an image must be inspected under unusual viewing conditions (e.g., after filtering or extreme zoom). The present invention provides high-capacity embedding of data that is lossless (or distortion-free) because, after embedded information is extracted from a cover image, we revert to an exact copy of the original image before the embedding took place. This new technique is a powerful tool for a variety of tasks, including lossless robust watermarking, lossless authentication with fragile watermarks, and steganalysis. The technique is applicable to raw, uncompressed formats (e.g., BMP, PCX, PGM, RAS, etc.), lossy image formats (JPEG, JPEG2000, wavelet), and palette formats (GIF, PNG).
