Abstract: In a method of manufacturing an organic thin-film electroluminescent device, a plurality of thin-film luminescent portions are arranged with fine pitches on a substrate. Each of the luminescent portions is formed by organic electroluminescent material or electrode material. A mask pattern is arranged on a pattern mask moving stage which finely moves in a predetermined direction. The substrate is arranged on a substrate moving stage. The substrate is opposed against the pattern mask with a predetermined pitch. An initial positioning alignment between the substrate and the pattern mask is performed by adjusting the substrate moving stage. The luminescent material is vaporized onto a surface of the substrate through the pattern mask. The luminescent material is vaporized on the surface of the substrate after moving the pattern mask onto a non-vaporizing portion of the surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A greensheet comprising an inorganic pigment and an inorganic matrix component is applied to a surface of a glass substrate and fired for fixing. The formed shading film has a portion whose thickness is 90% or more of the maximum thickness of the shading film within the range of 0.5 mm from an edge of the shading film. Thus, a shading film that has distinct end faces and has an excellent thickness uniformity can be formed with a good positional accuracy. Therefore, a lamp having a highly precise light distribution property can be obtained. In addition, a lamp having such a property can be obtained with a few steps and at a low cost.

Abstract: An IC card (107) sends its identification code in units of one bit in response to a question from a controller (103). The controller sends back to the IC card the received one bit of the identification code. The IC card compares the received and sent bits. If both are equal, the IC card sends the next one bit to the controller and if not, refrains from sending the next one bit. Thus, even when the number of IC cards which are to be identified and the number of IC cards which send their identification codes are simultaneously large, a reduction in the identification efficiency is suppressed to within a small value.

Abstract: A wheel rim displacement measuring apparatus which measures radial and axial displacements of a rim wall on the basis of a nut seat pitch circle. A wheel to be measured is mounted on a lower head on the basis of a hub hole center and rotated about an axis of the lower head. An upper spindle which is horizontally displaceable relative to the lower head is adjusted in position so as to align with a nut seat pitch circle center of the wheel and is rotated about the axis of the lower head. A Fourier analysis is carried on a wave of the displacements of the upper spindle so that an eccentricity amount of the nut seat pitch circle center from the hub hole center of the wheel can be calculated from the first harmonic. In a computer, a wave of the displacements of the rim wall measured on the basis of the hub hole center is amended in calculation to a wave of the displacements of the rim wall from a true circle having a center at the nut seat pitch circle using the first harmonic wave.

Abstract: An oscillator circuit suitable for use in a local oscillator of a tuner of a television receiver set. A feedback circuit comprised of a feedback capacitor (17) is connected between a junction of a tuning diode (10) and a correcting capacitor (11) connected in series therewith and the emitter of an oscillation transistor (1). Oscillation voltage developing across the correcting capacitor is fedback to the emitter of the oscillation transistor through the feedback capacitor. When the tuning diode is conditioned to have a large capacitance value, a large oscillation voltage is fedback to the transistor through the feedback capacitor whereas when the tuning diode is conditioned to have a small capacitance value, a small oscillation voltage is fedback to the transistor through the feedback capacitor. The oscillator circuit continues to oscillate stably over a wide frequency range whenever the tuning diode changes from the small capacitance value to the large capacitance value or vice versa.
