Abstract: An optical sensing apparatus for use in a ring laser interferometer measuring a physical quantity of an object includes a ring laser cavity formed by several internal mirrors, of which at least two internal mirrors are partly light-transmitting. The ring laser cavity generates two laser beams of an identical wavelength, the two laser beams propagating in counter direction to each other in the ring laser cavity. External mirrors are disposed at a distance from the ring laser cavity, whereby portions of the two laser beams, which pass through the internal mirrors and travel on optical paths toward the external mirrors, are reflected back into the ring laser cavity. The apparatus further includes at least one platform for mounting the external mirrors.

Abstract: A method of automatically generating IPv6 unicast addresses in IPv6-based next-generation Internet communication environments using a telephone number of a E.164 format allocated to a telephone terminal, and a method of looking up 32-bit IPv4 addresses or 128-bit IPv6 addresses, which are previously allocated to name addresses consisted of E. 164 telephone numbers, from a DNS. An automatic creation relates to a method in which an Internet host as a sender of an IP packet creates an IP address and a search from the DNS indicates a process of looking up an IP address of a receiver. The method automatically generates an IP address of a sender based on a telephone number and a search of an IP address of a receiver using DNS.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and method for supporting a fast hand-off in internet protocol networks and simplify a micro-mobility management, and a computer-readable medium storing a program for implementing the above method therein. The system includes a gateway for managing interfacing with Internet and location information of a mobile host; a plurality of base stations with a hierarchical architecture, which has a switching function and connects the gateway with the mobile host; and a database for storing the location information of the mobile host. The gateway interfacing with Internet manages the database for storing the location information of the mobile host, and adds additional header data to packet data received for the data transmission to the mobile host, wherein the additional header data represents the location information of the mobile host.

Abstract: A disposable protective sleeve used for covering laryngoscope handles that is integrally formed of a flexible material. The sheath defines a hollow cavity adapted to enclose a laryngoscope handle. After use, the sleeve is disposed of and the laryngoscope handle is covered with a new sleeve before being used again.

Abstract: A high fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio signal recording/playback apparatus in which a Hi-Fi audio signal is recorded/reproduced using video heads without an extra Hi-Fi audio head. In the Hi-Fi audio signal recording/playback apparatus, the Hi-Fi audio signal is recorded and reproduced together with the video signal using the same 2-channel head and the same pre-amplifier, without an extra head and pre-amplifier for only a Hi-Fi audio signal, thereby markedly lowering the manufacturing cost.

Abstract: There are disclosed foot measurement systems and methods to scan someone's foot from the bottom and/or oblique topside directions for generating pixel data for the foot shape, and then to calculate and obtain main foot-dimensions and other information required for last design (for example, shoes design) using the generated pixel data. The foot measurement system comprises foot data generating means for generating pixel data for foot shape and transmitting them to the exterior, the pixel data being obtained by emitting light to a foot placed on a substrate and analyzing information of the reflected light; and image treatment means for generating foot image through analyzing the pixel data transmitted from the foot data generating means with line-scan algorithm and/or stereo vision algorithm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatic loading of a sleeve on a device testing apparatus, for automatic lining up and loading of a sleeve having a device held therein on a device testing apparatus for carrying out device test, including a sloped loading plate for putting sleeves each having devices held therein thereon, vertical fixation plates at both sides of the sloped loading plate, carrier means fitted so as to be in contact with a lower edge of the sloped loading plate, for holding the sleeves put on, and slid down to the lower edge of, the sloped loading part, and transporting to a loading part in the device testing apparatus one by one in succession, driver means fitted to the fixation plate for driving the carrier means, and return means for, when a plurality of sleeves on the sloped loading plate are loaded on, and transported by the step, returning the sleeves back to the sloped loading plate again, leaving only one of the sleeves.

Abstract: An artificial fingernail, fingernail kit and a method of applying the artificial fingernails to natural nails. The artificial fingernail comprises a nail body made from transparent plastic and having a nail bed portion and a nail tip portion. The nail bed portion corresponds in size and shape to the nail bed of a natural fingernail and is applied over a natural fingernail. The nail tip portion contains opaque decorations that obscure a natural nail tip when the artificial fingernail is applied over a natural fingernail. The artificial fingernail is applied to the natural nail with a translucent pink adhesive. This way, the artificial fingernail has the color and appearance of a natural fingernail. This is especially important when doing a french manicure.

Abstract: A method for generating a numeric or alpha-numeric identifier representative of a chemical structure having at least two atoms connected by a bond includes the step of assigning a numerical value to each atom and a numerical bond value to each bond. The method updates the numerical values for each atom based on the current values assigned to each atom and the numerical bond value. After the numerical values for each atom have been updated the method calculates a numeric or alpha-numeric identifier for the chemical structure.

Abstract: An absorption type continuous neutral density filter controls an intensity distribution of a light beam from a laser to provide the intensity distribution of the light beam desired by an user. In the filter, the intensity distribution of the light beam is controlled by adjusting absorption of the light beam by the varying thickness of medium of the filter. This control of the distribution of the light intensity is accomplished by predefining the variance of thickness of the filter to a form required by the user. As a result, the continuous neutral density filter can be easily fabricated.
