Abstract: A user clicks on a link on a third-party Web site from his computer in order to utilize a third-party application with a Web service with which the user has an account. The application contacts the Web service and requests permissions from the user's account. The Web service sends the request to the user's computer asking to grant these permissions to the application. A software module on the user's computer intercepts this request, retrieves a user profile for this Web service, and compares the permissions requested with the permissions allowed from the profile. If any requested permissions are not allowed then the module automatically denies granting permissions and the user is not presented with an option of granting the request. A warning screen may be displayed. If all requested permissions are allowed then the request is presented to the user. A profile may apply to more than one Web service.

Abstract: A wire electric discharge machining program is analyzed and a target shape for a workpiece is created. Multiple amounts of adjustment by which the amount of wire radius compensation for a wire electrode is adjusted are set. One or more desired ones are selected from the amounts of adjustment, and the amount of wire radius compensation is calculated by adding the selected amount(s) of adjustment to the amount of wire radius compensation. A machining route which is offset from the created target shape by the calculated amount of wire radius compensation is created.

The infrared ray having advanced toward the flat face of the outgoing-side end portion 202 is reflected by the inclined face 23. The infrared ray reflected by the inclined face 23 is refracted by the side face of the light guide rod 20 and irradiated, thereby being irradiated while being expanded toward the outgoing-side end portion 202. Hence, a bar speaker 1 can irradiate the infrared ray in a wide range beyond the width of the housing 10 thereof.
