Abstract: The present subject matter includes a method of focusing of an optical imaging apparatus. The method comprises causing illumination of an object using an illuminating beam to thereby cause generation of a scattered beam. A first set of luminous parameters are derived from a first detected position of a luminous representation formed by the scattered beam from the object. The illumination-beam is focused upon the object by triggering a movement of the object along an optical-axis in a first direction, the first direction being based a numerical-representation of the first set of luminous parameters. A second set of luminous parameters are derived from a second detected position of the luminous-representation of the object, the second detected position being related to the first detected position and the movement of the object. The focusing of the illumination beam is ceased based at-least on a numerical-representation of the second set of luminous parameters.

Abstract: A polar-substance-permselective membrane includes a porous support and an active-membrane material. The active-membrane material fills the pores of the porous support to render the support substantially impermeable to non-polar gases at a moderate pressure gradient (e.g., at least 70 kPa) when the hydrophilic active-membrane material is wet. In a particular embodiment the membrane is water-permselective and the active-membrane material is hydrophilic. Water-recovery system and processes utilizing these water-permselective membranes can be used to selectively remove water from hot gas streams at the feed side, and collect water at the permeate side with extremely high energy efficiency. The membrane is particularly useful for in-situ extraction of water molecules directly from hot exhaust streams. The produced steam, or steam and air mixtures can be used as a feedstock in the process of converting liquid hydrocarbons into hydrogen-rich gas streams.

Abstract: Provided is an RED eyelet performing non-contact identification function. The RFID eyelet includes an eyelet washer and eyelet base composed of nonconductive material, and an RED module is interposed between the eyelet washer and eyelet base. The RFID eyelet contains the RFID module in nonconductive material, thereby performing smooth electromagnetic wave communication without disturbance, and the eyelet base is simply coupled. with the eyelet washer by using a slanted projection formed in the eyelet base and a locker formed in the eyelet washer. Also, the RED module can be easily installed by using an internal flange or external flange formed in the inside of the eyelet base or eyelet washer, thereby having a merit of mass production.

Abstract: A heat curing device includes supports positioned in a chamber to support a substrate, the supports having sections, and protrusion structures formed on the sections of the supports to contact a dummy area of the substrate, wherein the supports may be rotated with respect to a horizontal axis. The sections of the supports may have a polygonal structure with the protrusion structures are formed on the polygonal sections of the supports, so that a plurality of protrusion structure patterns can be formed on one support. Since the supports are rotatable, the protrusion structure patterns supporting a substrate may be readily changed.

Abstract: An apparatus for fabricating a flat panel display device includes a substrate on which a picture display section is formed and a stage on which the substrate is loaded. A dispenser applies a sealant along an outer line of the picture display section in the substrate. A light detector emits light toward the sealant and detects the amount of reflected light in real-time. A controller detects broken lines in the sealant in accordance with a signal supplied from the light detector and controls the dispenser so as to re-apply the sealant to spaces in the broken line in which the sealant is not present.

The routing protocol is a new model which is made considering a battery efficiency so that an AODV protocol, which is widely used because of its simplified and reliable algorithm, can be matched to a sensor condition. An energy information of a node is contained in the RREQ message of the AODV, thereby allowing the neighboring nodes and the nodes on the path to know their energy states.

The call transfer method includes: receiving a call from an external telephone; determining whether a caller of the external telephone is a valid user; receiving a call forwarding telephone number from the caller; and outputting a call transfer request signal and the received call forwarding telephone number to a switching system.

Abstract: A method for handoff between packet data serving nodes (PDSNs) The method for handoff between packet data serving nodes (PDSNs) provides packet services to a mobile node. A new PDSN receives subscriber information of a mobile node from at least one or more old PDSNs forming a communications network. The new PDSN recognizes the mobile node moving into a concerned area of the new PDSN and then transmits recognition information on the mobile node to an old PDSN to which the mobile node was connected. All received information on the mobile node is transmitted by the old PDSN based on the recognition information. A communication channel is established with the mobile node based on the received information. In the method, handoff is performed without reestablishing PPP. Accordingly, handoff between PDSNs can be performed faster, reducing the time needed for establishing a PPP session with a terminal and for terminating a previously set up PPP session.
