Abstract: The present invention provides a function of enabling common carriers to easily perform the customization of restriction information and restriction guidance, in which an AS apparatus, upon receipt of a connection start request from a terminal through an MGW apparatus, confirms whether or not a restriction state is in effect, and when no restriction is in effect, performs connection to the terminal, and when restriction is in-effect, acquires a restriction class Key to transmit a signal, to which the aforementioned acquired restriction class Key has been added, to the MGW apparatus; and the MGW apparatus, upon receipt of the signal, acquires a restriction class Key to edit and transmit to the aforementioned terminal, a restriction guidance signal which indicates the restriction content by using the data associated with the restriction class Key.

Abstract: The uppermost surface of a color filter to be used for a solid-state image pickup apparatus is forcibly oxidized to secure the ratio of the O=C—O bonds relative to the C—C bonds to not lower than a predetermined value so as to prevent cut pieces of Si and other metal foreign objects from re-adhering to the uppermost surface.

Abstract: A server delivers new software to each of clients through the network. After delivering new software, the server sends a notification of switchover from old software to new software to each of the clients through the network. Each client loads the new software having been received on a memory. Receiving the notification from the server, each client switches the old software to the new software. The switchover operation at client is carried out in short time by rewriting address on memory without suspension of a service. In case of canceling the update, the reversion operation from new software to old software is carried out in an analogous way to the switchover operation.

Abstract: A rotor blade for a helicopter having: a main blade with a blade root attached to a rotor shaft of the helicopter; and a small blade attached to a blade tip part of the main blade, wherein a tip part of the small blade is rectangular form in its plane shape, and has a leading edge continuous with a leading edge of the main blade and a chord length shorter than a chord length of the main blade.

Abstract: The video retrieving method provides a video retrieval man-machine interface which visually specifies a desired video out of many stored videos by using previously linked picture data corresponding to the videos. Also, a video reproduction operating man-machine interface visually designates the position of reproduction out of the picture group indicative of the contents. The video retrieving method employs video data, character information linked to the video data, picture data linked to the videos, and time information corresponding to the picture data in the video data. The character information is composed of a title of each video and a creation date thereof. The picture data include, as retrieval information, one picture data representing the content of the relevant video (one picture expressing the video, i.e., a leaflet or the like), and a plurality of picture data adapted to grasp the contents of the entire video.

Abstract: A method and apparatus in which a succession of continuous films each composed of a support film, a photosensitive resin layer and a cover film laminated one above another are joined end to end and fed continuously while allowing the cover film to be separated. While the trailing end of a preceding continuous film is held by suction on a first suction device, the leading end of a succeeding continuous film drawn out from a succeeding film supply roll is bonded to a part of the adhesive surface of an adhesive single coated tape previously held by suction on a second suction device, and the remaining part of the adhesive surface of the adhesive single coated tape is forced against the trailing end of the preceding continuous film being held on the first suction device to thereby join the leading end and the trailing end via the adhesive single coated tape without forming an overlap.

The conveyor further includes a device for moving the right and left centerer at a prescribed speed in a direction transverse to the direction of conveyance of the base plate. The moving device moves the centerers at the prescribed speed to such a position that the distance between the right and left centerers is slightly larger than a width of the base plate. The moving device thereafter moves the right and left centerers toward the base plate at a speed lower than the prescribed speed, such that the base plate is centered.
