  • Publication number: 20070196003
    Abstract: An optical fingerprint input device by where a mark identification is attached to one surface of a prism and reflected by light beams coming from an external light source to be incident on a lens such that erroneous recognition caused by a fingerprint afterimage of water, sweat or oil remaining on the fingerprint contact surface of the prism can be prevented to improve the security of the device, and a visual advertisement can be additionally obtained when a mark identification logo for advertisement is attached on one surface of the prism.

  • Publication number: 20070189588
    Abstract: An optical fingerprint image input device for a mobile apparatus includes: a plate-shaped fingerprint contact member; a distortion correcting member for correcting distortions; light sources disposed at both sides of the fingerprint contact member, other than an inclined surface or a back light source in a liquid crystal display element; focusing means disposed at an inclined surface side of the distortion correcting member; and an image sensor. In other words, the fingerprint contact member and the distortion correcting member having respective set-up inclined angles are disposed to discern sweat, water or oil and to correct a trapezoidal distortion which is a disadvantage that occurs when a thin fingerprint contact medium is used, and to form a lens system comprised of a cylindrical lens and a spherical lens for adjustment of a ratio of transversal to longitudinal widths of an image.

  • Publication number: 20050275293
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for integrating a linear motion guide and a linear induction motor that can commonly employ a stationary member between the linear induction motor and the linear motion guide so that a complicated connection structure between a conventional linear motion guide and a conventional linear induction motor can be removed. In the system, a stationary unit interconnects a stationary member of the linear motion guide and a stationary member of the linear induction motor, and a movable unit interconnects a movable member of the linear motion guide and a movable member of the linear induction motor. As an existing linear transport device requiring both the linear induction motor and the linear motion guide can be simplified, an installation space of the device can be reduced, device manufacturing and maintenance costs can be reduced, and clean straight-line transport can be implemented.

  • Publication number: 20050062347
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system for integrating a linear motion guide and a reluctance-type linear motor that can commonly employ a stationary member between the reluctance-type linear motor and the linear motion guide while removing a complicated connection structure between a conventional linear motion guide and a conventional linear motor for obtaining linear motion. In the system, a stationary unit interconnects a stationary member of the linear motion guide and a stationary member of the reluctance-type linear motor, and a movable unit interconnects a movable member of the linear motion guide and at least one movable member of the reluctance-type linear motor. Therefore, a structure of a linear transport device requiring both the linear motor and the linear motion guide is simplified, and cost is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20050025115
    Abstract: A method of communicating a variable length mobile network code (MNC) from a mobile communications network to a mobile station is provided. The method comprises transmitting a message comprising at least one of a first field and a second field, wherein the first field indicates whether the MNC is greater than a fixed length (2 digits). The first field further indicates whether the second field is included in the message.

  • Publication number: 20050009504
    Abstract: A method for identifying a mobile communications device in a mobile communications network is provided. The method comprises determining an identifier for a mobile communications device, the identifier comprising at least one of a first field, a second field, and a third field; including in the first field a mobile country code (MCC) for identifying a country to which the mobile communications device belongs; including in the second field a mobile network code (MNC) for identifying a network to which the mobile communications device belongs in the country; including in the third field a mobile station identification number (MSIN) for identifying the mobile communications device in the network; and including padding values in the third field, when the length of the MSIN is less than the length of the third field.
