Abstract: A forms based browser interface system for configuring and administering a network server from a remote location. Using forms, such as hyper-text markup language forms, the system provides a graphical user interface that allows a novice user, unaware of the platform, architecture or even operating system of the network server, to transact administrative tasks on the network server. An interfacing computer, at which the novice user performs administrative tasks upon the network server, is connected to the network server via network connections. The interfacing computer is equipped with a browser program that can display and interact with the forms created by the network server. The forms allow the user to select among various administrative tasks to be performed on the server. The forms also allow the user to input parameters for administration of the server such as new account names when adding new accounts for the server. Once the form input is submitted over the network connections to the network server, scripts within the server pass this information as parameters to appropriate software that complete the execution of the task and may signal to the user at the interfacing computer, through messages on the forms, success or failure thereof.

Abstract: An optical device is disclosed wherein a first GRIN lens and a second GRIN lens having
their optical axes offset. The first GRIN lens has one or more input ports at an input end.
The second GRIN lens is disposed to receive light from the first GRIN lens. A reflecting
surface is coated onto a second end face of the second GRIN lens or alternatively is
disposed adjacent to the second end face and positioned to reflect an input beam of light
launched into the input end face of the first GRIN lens. The reflective surface is at a
location where light incident upon it to be returned to the first GRIN lens is collimated.
By placing a filter and third GRIN lens between the first and second lenses double
filtering may be achieved at the pass band or pass wavelength of the filter. Furthermore,
the more simple arrangement including only first and second lenses provides a means of
directing light into and out of the device at different angles or directions with respect to
the optical axis of the first lens.

Abstract: First FET power transistors (61, 62, 63) of first
power amplifying parts (11, 12, 13) and second FET power
transistors (65, 66, 67) of second power amplifying parts (15,
16, 17) form current paths from a DC power source (50) to
three-phase windings. Three-phase first amplified current
signals (F1, F2, F3) varying smoothly in rising and falling
slopes are supplied to conduction control terminal sides of the
first power amplifying parts (11, 12, 13). Three-phase second
amplified current signals (H1, H2, H3) varying smoothly in
rising and falling slopes are supplied to conduction control
terminal sides of the second power amplifying parts (15, 16,
17). A switching control part (21, 22) performs simultaneous
on-off switching of the conduction control terminal sides of
the first power amplifying parts (11, 12, 13), thereby causing
first FET power transistors (61, 62, 63) of the first power
amplifying parts (11, 12, 13) to perform high-frequency on-off
switching. As a result, three-phase drive currents to the
windings vary smoothly, thereby reducing motor vibration. And
also, power loss of the FET power transistors is reduced
remarkably, thereby improving power efficiency of a motor.

embedded within the application. The method begins with the instantiation
(52) of the mailpiece object which establishes (54) a programming interface
for the object. The properties of the mailpiece object are then established
(56) by: placing (58) a set of object methods; a set of mailpiece production
functionalities (60); and, a set of data tables (62) within the mailpiece object
by utilizing the programming interface. A human interface (64) is next
established and placed (66) within the mailpiece object by utilizing the
programming interface. The mailpiece object is then embedded (68) within a
software application; and the embedded mailpiece object is utilized to
produce a mailpiece under direction of the software application. Once
embedded in the one or more software applications selected by the data
processing system and the system user, the embedded mailpiece object
becomes an OLE enabled OCX and, the OCX further includes a set of pre-determined
mailpiece production functions and a property setting comprising
