Abstract: This invention provides a pulse shaping technique that can yield a pulsed laser having a smaller energy fluctuation than that of a conventional pulse shaping technique using one or two non-linear optical crystals. A pulse shaping device includes: a non-linear optical crystal group including at least three non-linear optical crystals arranged side by side on an optical path of an input pulsed laser.

Abstract: An RRH includes an extracting unit, an urgent information processing unit, an inserting unit, and a transmitting unit. The extracting unit extracts a resource block, from among resource blocks included in a signal received from a terminal device, that is previously allocated for transmission of urgent information. When the urgent information is included in the resource block extracted by the extracting unit, the urgent information processing unit creates report information including the urgent information that is included in the resource block extracted by the extracting unit. The inserting unit inserts the report information including the urgent information created by the urgent information processing unit into the resource block that is previously allocated for a report of the urgent information.

Abstract: A base station device receives a signal for connection establishment between a terminal device and the base station device from the terminal device and performs a series of processes for the connection establishment. A reception unit receives the signal for the connection establishment transmitted from the terminal device. When predetermined information is stored in the signal for the connection establishment received by the reception unit, an emergency-information processing unit acquires the predetermined information. A transmission unit transmits a notification signal including the predetermined information acquired by the emergency-information processing unit to another terminal device other than the terminal device.

Abstract: In the improved method for increasing the contrast of a high-intensity laser, signal light outputted from a laser oscillator, a preamplifier or the like is amplified by OPCPA which is excited by pump light having a short pulse width comparable to that of the signal light, thereby producing an extremely high contrast.

Abstract: An apparatus that supports determination by a user of optimal insurance to avoid unnecessary insurance coverage and excessive insurance premium for an insured object. Expected insurance compensation, which is money expected to be paid for the insured object from other insurance when an insured incident occurs, is calculated by referring to other insurance relative to the insured object. A setting unit sets a premium for insurance sought for the insured object using the calculated expected-insurance-money value. A user is provided with insurance premium that is determined based upon quantitative consideration of other insurance coverage.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a user in determining insurance to compensate for damage to an object of the insurance. A compensation-request-acquiring unit acquires compensation request information that has a correlation with an expectation of the user for compensation for damage caused on the insured object. A premium-distribution unit distributes premium for the insured object using the compensation request information acquired by the compensation-request-acquiring unit.
