A referral management computer system implements a Web server supporting client browsers that display Web pages having embedded, executable referral content elements executable on user computer systems. Execution of a referral content element observes first predetermined browser actions relative to the embedding Web page and provides first data reflective of the first predetermined browser actions to the referral management computer system independent of user interface actions invoked by a user of the client browser.

The referral content element also observes a second predetermined browser action relative to the embedding Web page provides second data reflective of the second predetermined browser action to said referral management computer system in direct response to the invocation of said second predetermined browser action by said user, wherein the referral content element is further executable to rewrite the embedding Web page to retrieve predetermined content from the referral management computer system for the rendering into the embedding Web page relative to the referral content element, and wherein selection of said predetermined content and timing of retrieval is determined by said referral management computer system.

In order to enhance the usability of a write-once recording medium, the recording medium is provided with an ordinary recording/reproduction area, an alternate area, a first alternate-address management information area and a second alternate-address management information area. In addition, written/unwritten state indication information is recorded in a predetermined area. The second alternate-address management information area is an area allowing alternate-address management information recorded therein to be renewed by adding alternate-address management information to the area. Alternate-address management information recorded in the second alternate-address management information area includes information recorded in a first information format and information recorded in a second information format. The first information format shows an alternate source address and an alternate destination address for each data unit. On the other hand, the second information format shows an alternate source address and an alternate destination address for a group of a plurality of physically continuous data units. The second information format is used as a format for effectively carrying out an alternate-address process on such a group of data units. All alternate-address management information is recorded in the first alternate-address management information area in the first information format.

The floor management unit receives points related to an authenticated person from the point data management unit and enables the game machine for the authenticated person.

A service control element stores a user filter criterion. When it receives a session request identifying the user, it checks whether the session request matches the user filter criterion, and outputs the session request to a defined service platform when the session request matches the user filter criterion. The element is arranged to retrieve, before forwarding the request to the service platform, a capability information element that indicates the dynamic capability of a user to utilize the service provided by the service platform. If the information element indicates that the user is not capable to utilize the service provided by the service platform, the session is terminated. Incoming messages can be appropriately managed already in the network element responsible for service control, and thus additional load and unnecessary charging considerations can be avoided.

A method for detecting SOC and SOH of a storage battery includes: calculating an SOC value of the storage battery with use of an SOC calculation unit based on a measured voltage value or a measured current value of the storage battery and calculating an SOH value of the storage battery with use of an SOH calculation unit based on the SOC value; further calculating a new SOC value with use of the SOC calculation unit based on the SOH value and calculating a new SOH value with use of the SOH calculation unit based on the new SOC value, these further calculations of SOC value and SOH value being repeated a prescribed n times of at least one so as to obtain an nth calculated SOC value and an nth calculated SOH value; outputting the nth calculated SOH value as an SOH output value and outputting the nth calculated SOH value as an SOC output value; and storing the SOH output value into a memory.

One or more rights objects (RO) files may be used for storing RO's preferably in the protected area available only to authenticated users. A RO navigation file is stored preferably in an unprotected public area containing status bits, where each status bit identifies whether a location in a RO file contains a valid RO or not. Preferably, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the location for a RO in a RO file and a location in the RO navigation file for the status bit which identifies whether its corresponding location in the RO file contains a valid RO or not. Whether a particular location in a RO file contains a valid RO or not can be found by checking its corresponding status bit in the RO navigation file. By finding out whether a particular location in a RO file contains a valid RO or not in this manner, it is possible to delete ROs without having to go through an authentication process. The process of finding an empty slot in the RO file for storing a new RO is also simplified. This greatly increases the efficiency of RO management. A similar system may be used for management of content encryption/encryption keys for protecting content files.

A medication dispensing apparatus that can be actuated with a small force to deliver a precise dose. The apparatus includes a fluid container having an injection chamber and a storage chamber in fluid flow communication. A first plunger is movable to alter the volume of the injection chamber, and a second plunger is movable to alter the volume of the storage chamber. The injection chamber has a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-section area of the storage chamber. During dose setting, a drive assembly drivingly connected to the plungers shifts the plungers different distances so as to reduce the volume of the storage chamber while simultaneously increasing the volume of the injection chamber a similar amount. After dose setting, an actuator is movable with a small force to shift the first plunger to reduce the volume of the injection chamber to force medicine through an outlet of the fluid container.
