gas includes mixing a feedstock gas and a flue gas so as to
obtain a mixed gas. The mixed gas is supplied to at least
one pair of reforming reactors, each reactor having a
process and fuel side and a combustion side. Each pair of
reactors is arranged in parallel on the process and fuel
side, and in series on the combustion side. A flame temperature

Abstract: An aqueous local anesthetic solution having a pH of 6.5-8.5, which
contains a local anesthetic included in cyclodextrin or a derivative
thereof in a concentration of the local anesthetic of not less than
0.02%, a method for improving solubility of local anesthetic in water
at a pH of 6.5-8.5, comprising including the local anesthetic in
cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof, a local anesthetic agent
comprising an inclusion compound of local anesthetic in cyclodextrin or
a derivative thereof, a method for decreasing neurotoxicity of local
anesthetic agent, comprising including the local anesthetic in
cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof, and an inclusion compound of
local anesthetic in cyclodextrin or a derivative thereof. The local
anesthetic agent and aqueous local anesthetic solution of the present
invention have decreased neurotoxicity, so that the duration of
anesthesia can be controlled clinically safely by reducing/increasing
its concentration or dose. In particular, the aqueous local anesthetic
solution can be used at a pH near that of a living body. Thus, it can
be used even when living tissue has an acidic pH. Moreover, the pain
caused by local acidosis at an injection site by a conventional local
anesthetic dissolved in an acidic solution can be reduced.

Abstract: A throttle air inlet for a pneumatic tool which includes a swivel air inlet bushing for
rotatably attaching the pneumatic tool to a pressurized air supply hose. The air inlet bushing
includes a first groove, formed on an exterior surface of the bushing, which rotatably mates with a

Abstract: A large area solid state x-ray detector employs a

discharged by exposure to x-ray. Ghost images resulting
from release of charge trapped in photodiodes during prior
exposures are eliminated by adjusting (46) the biasing (V b ) during a

increased to decrease the recharge time or reversed in
polarity to evenly discharge the diodes or decreased to
preserve the offset so that it may be removed from
subsequent images by image processing.

Abstract: The method and apparatus of the present invention provide for automatic
recognition of fingerprint images. In an acquisition mode, subsets of the
feature points for a given fingerprint image are generated in a
deterministic fashion. One or more of the subsets of feature points for
the given fingerprint image is selected. For each selected subset, a key
is generated that characterizes the fingerprint in the vicinity of the
selected subset. A multi-map entry corresponding to the selected subset
of feature points is stored and labelled with the corresponding key. In
the recognition mode, a query fingerprint image is supplied to the
system. The processing of the acquisition mode is repeated in order to
generate a plurality of keys associated with a plurality of subsets of
feature points of the query fingerprint image. For each key generated in
the recognition mode, all entries in the multi-map that are associated
with this key are retrieved. For each item retrieved, a hypothesized
match between the query fingerprint image and the reference fingerprint
image is constructed. Hypothesized matches are accumulated in a vote
table. This list of hypotheses and scores stored in the vote table are
preferably used to determine whether a match to the query fingerprint
image is stored by the system.

Abstract: Disclosed is a display device comprising an optical
waveguide plate (12) for introducing light (10) radiated
from a light source (200) thereinto, in which the display
gradation is controlled by changing the entering amount (t)
into an evanescent region (120) existing around the back
surface of the optical waveguide plate (12). In the present
invention, an actuator element (14) is provided, which makes
bending displacement in a direction to make approach to the
optical waveguide plate (12) in accordance with voltage
application to a pair of electrodes (28a, 28b). A plate
member (32a) of a displacement-transmitting section (32) for
determining the picture element area is provided on the
actuator element (14). The entering amount (t) of the plate
member (32a) into the evanescent region (120) is changed by
controlling voltage application to the actuator element (14)
so that display gradation of the picture element
corresponding to the actuator element (14) is controlled.
Accordingly, the time required to perform row scanning is
drastically shortened, and it is possible to easily deal
with high quality image display.

Abstract: The method involves first performing measurements on a real vehicle to gain measurement values relating to the vehicle performance. A continuous check is made to determine whether prescribed trigger conditions, i.e. constellations of specific measurement values are fulfilled. If these conditions are met at least an assessment parameter (Dr) is calculated, which expresses the driveability of the vehicle, from one or more measurements based on a preset function and recording the assessment parameter. The function to derive the assessment value can be generated by statistical means from evidence provided by test personnel regarding the driveability and performance of the vehicle.

Abstract: An interface between two clock domains transfers data between the two clock domains without corruption or loss of data being transferred. Each clock domain has a respective clock. A synchronization circuit ensures that the two clocks have a fixed frequency ratio A:B and produces two synchronization signals which identify initial cycles of the clocks in underlying cycles of A and B clock cycles of the two clocks respectively. A data signal is registered in a plurality of registers in the first clock domain. Each register outputs a specific output signal, one of which is selected by a multiplexer in the second clock domain, to be output to an output register. The output register then outputs the data in synchronism with the second clock. Selection of the clock cycles in which reading and writing of a register takes place is controlled by the synchronization signals, so that there is a minimum delay between reading and writing even when there is a skew between the two clocks.
