the luminance of the light emitted from the organic
electroluminescent device. In an organic
electroluminescent apparatus and a display device in which
the organic electroluminescent device is provided, there
is provided frequency modulation means for modulating the
frequency of electricity and supplying electricity to the

Abstract: A fingerprint input apparatus includes a
prism, a light source, a pinhole, and an imaging plane.
The prism is placed such that a surface in one direction
serves as a fingerprint collection surface. The light
source irradiates light on the fingerprint collection
surface through the prism. The pinhole is set in the
path of light which is reflected by the pattern surface
of a finger placed on the fingerprint collection surface
and emerges from the prism. The light emerging from the
prism and passing through the pinhole is formed into an
image on the imaging plane. When the prism is
substituted by air, an optical fingerprint collection
surface equivalent to the fingerprint collection surface
is set to be substantially parallel to the imaging
plane.

Abstract: A communication switching system has a plurality of switch nodes each
of which is responsive to a failure of the primary signaling channel (421) providing
the common signaling channel in a facility access service (FAS) group to
immediately switch to the secondary signaling channel (420) of the FAS group. This
switching occurs quickly so that no calls are dropped within the FAS group. Any
logical links being communicated on the primary signling channel are transferred to
the secondary signaling channel with no data packets being irreplaceably lost. A
first physical object (412) is established to control a physical protocol on the primary
signaling channel, and a second physical object (417) is established to control the
physical protocol on the secondary signaling channel. A single software object (400)
is established to always control the first layer of software protocol on the common
signaling channel whether that is the primary or secondary signaling channel. When
failure of the primary signaling channel is detected, information for the common
signaling channel is routed from the second physical object to the software object,
thereby preserving the common signaling channel.

Abstract: A combined range laser scanner and method for
electro-optically reading indicia such as bar codes having
parts of different light reflectivity which utilizes two
laser diode optical illumination systems optimally focused
for different working ranges. A first laser illumination
system is optimized for contact operation and has a range
extending to approximately two feet. The second laser
illumination system is optimized for longer range scanning
from approximately two to seventeen feet, and the two laser
scanning systems are integrated into one combined range
laser scanner. The combined range laser scanner
incorporates therein logic circuitry which enables either
laser illumination system as required fro the particular
scanning application. Depending upon which laser
illumination system is selected, the laser spot speed (e.g.
amplitude of the drive signal for the scanning motor) is
controlled to limit the frequency of received light signals
to that of standard signal processing and decoding circuits.
Scanning is achieved with a common oscillating mirror
element driven by a scanning motor, and the amplitude of the
applied scanning motor driving signal is greater for the
first laser illumination system optimized for contact or
short range operation and less for the second laser
illumination system for longer range scanning.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of controlling NO x  emissions from
a glass melting process in which combustion fuel produces exhaust gas in
a melting furnace (10) including NO x  compounds. Furnace exhaust gas
passes from the melting furnace (10) through a regenerator (20, 22) to a
zone downstream from the regenerator (20, 22). Ammonia is injected into
the furnace exhaust gas at the downstream zone while the furnace exhaust
gas is within a desired temperature range to reduce the amount of NO x 
compounds. Additional gas is introduced into the furnace exhaust gas as
it moves from the regenerator (20, 22) to the downstream zone whenever
the furnace exhaust gas has a temperature which is outside the desired
temperature range at the downstream zone so as to modify the furnace
exhaust gas temperature such that the furnace exhaust gas is within the
desired temperature range when furnace exhaust gas reaches to the
downstream zone. In one particular embodiment of the invention, the
additional gas is the exhaust from an excess air burner (64) which is
injected into the furnace exhaust gas at a temperature such that the
furnace exhaust gas and the injected gas have a combined temperature
between 870° to 1090°C at the downstream zone.

Abstract: By the side of a powdery or granular material stacked in a
conical pile on a horizontal surface, a sensor (16) that
emits sensor light and, by receiving light reflected from a
spot illuminated by the sensor light, detects the distance
to the pile of the powdery or granular material is placed
with the optical axis of the sensor light horizontal. While
the sensor (16) is moved in a horizontal direction
perpendicular to the optical axis of the sensor light, the
distance to each of a plurality of measurement points
arranged horizontally at regular intervals along a line
that runs on said pile of the powdery or granular material
so as to face the movement path of the sensor. This step is
performed every time the sensor (16) is moved vertically a
predetermined distance at a time. In each session of the
step, a point is extracted that is closest to the sensor,
and a function describing a straight line approximating the
curve through all of the thus extracted points is
determined by the least-squares method. Then, the angle of
this straight line with respect to a horizontal plane is
determined.

Abstract: In a CDMA receiver, signals from a number of correlatively spaced
apart antennas are respectively multiplied by weight coefficients and
summed together to produce a weighted sum signal, which is separated into
multipath components of a transmitted signal. The multipath components
are despread with a chip sequence, producing despread signals at symbol
intervals. Demodulators estimate channel responses of propagation paths
from the despread signals and multiply the despread signals by the
estimated channel responses to produce demodulated signals, which are
summed and a threshold decision is made on the sum of the demodulated
signals to produce a decision output. Error detection circuitry multiplies
the decision output by the estimated channel responses to produce a
number of multiplied decision outputs, and detects differences between the
multiplied decision outputs and the despread signals to produce a number
of error signals, which are combined together. Weight control circuitry is
responsive to the combined error signals for updating the weight
coefficients.
