Abstract: A computer system having an operating environment configured for enabling boot up in a relatively short time is disclosed. A hard disk is utilized to store a boot file. A run process list registers a process to be run during boot up. When the computer system is being booted up, if the run process list registers a process to load the boot file, a process control unit does not control a process management unit, so that the process is run as usual. If the process is not registered, the process management unit suspends the process. When the suspended process is called by another process later, the process control unit makes the process resumed on demand.

Abstract: Computer programs, methods and systems for managing a setting information database of a computer system are described. The computer system includes an original setting information database and an administrative database which store setting information of the system. Each time a write request to write data to the setting information database is received from a requester, a write processing portion writes the requested data to the administrative database. When a read processing portion receives a read request to read data from the setting information database, if the data is included in the administrative database, the read processing portion passes the data from the administrative database to the program that issued the read request. An editing portion cleans up the administrative database using a white list to ensure that only a trusted program can write data.

Abstract: A mold-in fastening member which is composed of a strip of substrate, engaging elements formed on one surface of the substrate, and an elastomer layer completely surrounding the engaging elements, the substrate having slits or notches which extend from a widthwise central portion of the substrate to a widthwise end portion of the substrate. The mold-in fastening member bends in conformity with a two- or three-dimensionally complicated shape of a molded article. The mold-in fastening member prevents the surface having the engaging elements from being covered with a foamable liquid molding resin during a mold-in process, thereby preventing the engaging elements from losing the engaging function.

Abstract: A fundus camera includes an optical path splitting unit arranged between a focusing unit and an imaging unit. The splitting unit has characteristics adapted to reflect light of a visible light region and to transmit near-infrared light. The splitting unit retreats from an optical path when a still fundus image is photographed. A quick-return mirror having such characteristics is used as the splitting unit. When near-infrared illumination light having a wavelength of about 850 nm is used, such light can be incident upon the imaging unit without loss of the amount of light. Visible light output from an internal fixation target is projected onto a subject's eye. A cornea diaphragm and a crystalline lens diaphragm are used for observing a fundus with invisible light. Each of the cornea diaphragm and crystalline lens diaphragm can be changed to another one having a different diameter.

Abstract: In a photographing optical system, an autofluorescence barrier filter having a characteristic of transmitting a light having an autofluorescence wavelength and a near-infrared wavelength, and a near-infrared light cut-off filter having a characteristic of transmitting the visible light and blocking the near-infrared light are disposed to be replaceable. In the case of observing a fundus, the fluorescence barrier filter is inserted into an optical path in an observation photographing optical system, so that observation can be performed by using a near-infrared illuminating light. In the case of autofluorescence photographing, the photographing can be performed without filter switching. In the case of color photographing, at the time of observation, the observation is performed using the fluorescence barrier filter, and at the time of photographing, the photographing can be performed using the replaced infrared light cut-off filter.
