Abstract: A system and a process for access controlling the agent execution, based on thread history (tracing) information, in an environment in which plural agents are run simultaneously, to protect the agent environment and the agents operating in the agent environment. When an agent 130 operating on an agent environment 140 requests execution of method to be a disclosed to another agent, the agent information 123 for the agent 130 and the agent environment information on the agent environment 140 are stored in a method execution request message, by agent environment information management means 172 and by agent environment information management means 173, respectively, whilst thread visit history information 125 on the thread of the method is stored in the thread visit history management means 174. Method transmission means 180 transmits the method to an agent environment of the method requestor. The method reception means of the agent environment of the requester receives the message.

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a blade for cutting a copper foil being capable of further decreasing the amount of slivers generated at the time of processing, e.g., cutting, punching, and perforating a copper foil and also capable of making the size of the slivers smaller. To achieve the purpose, a disk-like blade to be employed for a copper foil-slitting apparatus is coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) or diamond-like carbon soft (DLC-soft) on at least a part to be brought into contact with a copper foil at the time of cutting. The coating reduces the unevenness of a blade surface, thereby providing a face being scarcely scratched with the copper foil. Subsequently, the amount of the slivers generated is remarkably decreased and the cutting property is improved.

Abstract: The purpose is to provide a cathode electrode for manufacturing an electrodeposited copper foil which is possible to be continuously and stably usable for a long duration of 3000 hours or longer to subsequently lessen the frequency of maintenance work execution as low as possible and to contribute to lower the running cost of the electrodeposited copper foil manufacture. As the means for achieving the purpose, a cathode electrode made of a titanium material is employed for obtaining an electrodeposited copper foil using an electrolytic copper solution and the titanium material having 7.0 or higher crystal grain size number and 35 ppm or lower initial hydrogen content is used for manufacturing the cathode electrode for manufacturing an electrodeposited copper foil. Further, also provided is a manufacturing method of the titanium material to be employed for the cathode electrode made of a titanium material.

Abstract: A remote access managing means of a module manages each of an object that references an outside object and an object that is referenced from the outside by adding a reference weight to each object. In other words, the remote access managing means stores a reference weight according to the type of communication message in the object information of communication messages for dealing with outside modules. For example, an additional reference weight that is set by a reference weight. managing means is stored in an execution request message to an outside object. A heap memory managing means reclaims memory regions of unnecessary objects in the heap memory regions in accordance with the reference weight that is set through the exchange of this type of messages.
