A driving method of the present invention is adapted to a plasma display panel which includes first and second electrodes formed on a substrate, third electrodes formed in a direction intersecting the first and second electrodes, and a dielectric layer covering the first and second electrodes. The driving method includes the steps of generating an address discharge between the first and the third electrode to select a predetermined cell and sustain discharges between the first and the second electrode to produce light for display, and controlling the plasma display panel such that the discharge intensity of a sustain discharge in which the second electrode serves as the anode is smaller than the discharge intensity of a sustain discharge in which the first electrode serves as the anode.

Methods and associated systems for enterprise-wide issuance of identification cards. A single enterprise server component and a plurality of card issuance machine controller components are distributed over an enterprise network. Each card machine controller component controls one or more devices for the production of identification cards including, for example, embossed and / or digitally encoded information. The single enterprise server component acts as a server to route the card issuance requests to the proper card machine controller component on behalf of client programs at each location used to request the production of an identification card. The enterprise server component further provides enhanced security and encryption to provide requisite security in the exchange of sensitive information in the production of such identification cards. An administrative component, which can be used anywhere on the network, provides centralized management of common data used by the server, card machine controllers and client programs in the production of identification cards. The administrative component also provides for centralized administration of the plurality of PCs, card issuance machines and software components to permit easy re-assignment of future production requests for purposes of management and / or for end user convenience.

A heat dissipation system includes a computer case has a base plate and a back plate perpendicularly to the base plate, a heat sink, a first fan and an air duct. The heat sink is positioned in the computer case in contact with a first heat source. The first heat source and the back plate define a first air channel therebetween. The first fan is positioned in the computer case adjacent to a first side of the heat sink. The first fan is configured to generate airflow through the heat sink in such a manner that airflow flows from the computer case outside is sucked into the computer case via the first air inlet and the first air channel. The air duct is positioned in the computer case adjacent to a second side of the heat sink. The heat sink heats the airflow from the first fan. The warm airflow heated by the heat sink is then blown out of the computer case by the first fan via the air duct.

The computerized method and apparatus for mobile device interactivity includes hosting a network application on a server. The method and apparatus further includes receiving, at the application on the server, an event message from a mobile application executing on a mobile device, the application having executable code embedded therein for communicating with the network information for presenting a user interface for the network application on the mobile device, the event message reporting an action taken via the user interface. The method and apparatus further including executing application logic within the network application to generate data values based on the action reported in the event message and mobile device information and sending to the mobile device an update message with at least some of the generated data values and instructions for use by the executable code to present the data values within the user interface at the mobile device.

A master cylinder device includes: a first pressurizing piston including a main body portion which defines a first pressurizing chamber for pressurizing a brake fluid, and a flange portion which is formed around an outer circumference of the main body portion and in front of which there is defined an opposing chamber; and an input piston which can be shrunk by operating a brake pedal. The master cylinder device further includes an electromagnetic open / close valve for making the opposing chamber and the inter-piston chamber communicate with a reservoir, and an electromagnetic open / close valve for prohibiting the shrink of the input piston. The master cylinder device with such a structure allows a pressurization of the brake fluid depending on an operation force in a state in which the shrink of the input piston is prohibited.

The power transmission apparatus may include a control device to carry out idling stop control in such a manner that, when it is detected that an operating means is not operated for a predetermined time or more, an engine is stopped, and a clutch is disconnected, and the supply of the electric power from a battery to a motor generator is interrupted, and when it is detected that the operating means is operated afterwards, the engine is started by a cell motor, and the supply of the electric power from the battery to the motor generator is permitted, and the clutch is connected after the number of revolutions Ne of the engine reaches a predetermined value or more, and the supply of the electric power from the battery to the motor generator is interrupted.
