Abstract: In a surface light source device frame, an amount of light that leaks from an outer peripheral surface of the frame can be decreased while a decrease in luminance is suppressed in an emission surface. The frame includes a rectangular frame main body made of a black resin and an auxiliary member made of a white resin. In inner peripheral surfaces of both lateral sides of the frame main body, fitting portions are provided in an end portion on a side farther away from the light source in the frame main body in order to fit the leg portions. The auxiliary member is attached to the inner peripheral surface on the side farther away from the light source in the frame main body while the leg portions are fitted in the fitting portions.

Abstract: Light that leaks from an outer peripheral surface of a lightguide plate can be reflected and returned to the lightguide plate by a frame, and light that is transmitted through the frame to leak out can be reduced. A reflecting sheet is disposed in a lower surface of the frame, and the lightguide plate and the light source are accommodated in the frame. The frame is formed such that an outer peripheral surface of a rectangular-frame-shaped inside frame portion made of a white resin is covered with a rectangular-frame-shaped outside frame portion made of a black resin. The inside frame portion and the outside frame portion are integrally molded by a two-color molding method.

Abstract: A time clock 10, capable of outputting a datum to an USB memory 100 connected thereto, includes a controller authenticating whether or not the USB memory 100 is valid an external apparatus as an output destination to which the datum is output, and determining whether or not the datum is output on the basis of the authentication result. Further, the controller 25 authenticates an external apparatus on the basis of an authentication datum stored in the USB memory 100. The controller 25 performs the authentication on the basis of an identification datum of the time clock and an identification datum included in the authentication datum stored in the external apparatus.

Abstract: An optical film thickness measuring device, enabling direct measurement of a film thickness of a product in real time accurately without a monitor substrate, includes: a projector, a light receiver, inner beam splitters disposed in a base substrate holder to reflect a measurement beam to a base substrate, an inner optical reflector that totally reflects a measurement beam from the closest inner beam splitter, external beam splitters the measurement beam from the inner beam splitters toward the light receiver, and an outer optical reflector that reflects the measurement beam from the optical reflector toward the light receiver. The measurement beam reflected by the inner beam splitters and the inner optical reflector is passed through the base substrate and then reflected by the external beam splitters and the outer optical reflector to be guided to the light receiver, so that the measurement beam is received by the light receiver.

Abstract: A start date and an end date of a daylight saving time input by a user is stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (41). The radio-controlled adjustment section (20) generates a time to adjust the time which the clocking unit (10) is clocking, by daylight saving time information and a standard time received via an antenna (AT) and a reception circuit (21), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit (10) by use of the generated time. Here, the daylight saving time determination unit (42) references to the daylight saving time period stored in the daylight saving time information storage unit (41), and adjusts the time of the clocking unit (10) so that the time becomes one which corresponds to the user-set daylight saving time.
