Abstract: An optical connector cleaner comprising a supply reel, a take-up reel, a case, an operation lever, a take-up mechanism, and a holding member. The supply reel stores a cleaning cloth member having one end side wounded thereon. The take-up reel takes up the other end side of the cleaning cloth member. The case has a connector connection portion on which the cleaning cloth member is exposed. The operation lever that has an operation portion projecting from the case and is swingably supported. The take-up mechanism rotates the take-up reel in a take-up direction by a predetermined angle when the operation lever swings. The holding member holds an optical connector on the connector connection portion in a state in which a coupling face of the optical connector is pressed against the cleaning cloth member exposed to the connector connection portion.

Abstract: A spread spectrum modulation unit (12) performs spread spectrum clocking processing for a basic clock signal (BC) synchronized with the carrier frequency or its harmonic frequency of image information leaked from an unwanted electromagnetic wave. A modulation pattern generation unit (13) generates and outputs, as a modulation pattern signal (MP), a PN code having sign bit data synchronized with each pulse of the obtained spread spectrum clock signal SC. In addition, the modulation pattern generation unit (13) resets the repetition period of the PN code based on a horizontal sync signal (H). A modulated clock generation unit (14) modulates the spread spectrum clock signal (SC) in accordance with the modulation pattern signal (MP). The obtained modulated clock signal (MC) is amplified, generating a leakage prevention signal (JC). A leakage prevention signal containing a sideband component of a satisfactory level can be generated, obtaining a useful leakage prevention effect.

Abstract: An optical connector cleaning tool includes a holder, cleaner, and cap. The holder includes, a cylindrical slider, a cylindrical body which is rotatable and movable in the axial direction with respect to the slider, and a slider return spring which biases the body forward to return the slider to the initial position. The slider has a pair of elastic pieces having guide projections. In the outer circumferential surface of the body, spiral grooves with which the guide projections engage are formed within the angular range of 360°. When the slider moves forward, the body rotates by the cam action of the guide projections and spiral grooves. The cleaner includes, a cleaning thread accommodated in a rotary pod, a supply reel, a take-up reel, and a cleaning pin, and is connected to the body.

Abstract: The present invention provides a washing method for a device substrate, capable of sufficiently removing a resist attached to a device substrate, particularly a resist attached to fine pore portions of a pattern having a large aspect ratio. A method for washing a device substrate, which comprises a washing step of removing a resist attached to a device substrate by means of a solvent, wherein the solvent is a composition comprising at least one fluorinated compound selected from the group consisting of a hydrofluoroether, a hydrofluorocarbon and a perfluorocarbon, and a fluorinated alcohol.

Abstract: A user sends a request signal to a delivery management server 60 by utilizing a mobile station 10 in response to a broadcast service provided by a broadcast station 70. The request signal includes a music song ID of music song data segments which the user wants to be delivered and also an address of the destination to which the music song data segments be delivered. Upon the receipt of the request signal, the delivery management server 60 returns, in the case of unpopular songs, the music song data segments and a decrypting key for decrypting the data segments, and on the other hand, it returns, in the case of popular songs, only the decrypting key to the mobile station 10 or a STB 40.

Abstract: Program guide information of the program to be broadcast by the broadcast station 1 is reserved in the EPG server 15 of the center station 11. The EPG server 15 retrieves for each user, the program satisfying the conditions such as the category of the program registered in the personal information database 16, and then transmits the guide information of the retrieved programs to the portable telephone 14 of a user who has set the conditions, via the communication network 10. Thereby, even if the user is outside the home, if there is a program satisfying the conditions specified by the user, the user can obtain the information concerning the program by utilizing the portable telephone 14. Then, the user can instruct, with reference to the obtained program information, a recording operation from the portable telephone 14 to the VTR 6 in the home 12.
