Abstract: An incident event cause identification system includes a device log information holding unit that holds log information of a target device, a causality graph holding unit that holds a causality graph in which a relationship between an incident event and a cause thereof is associated, and an incident detection processing unit that detects an incident in the target device. A necessary log information determination processing unit extracts a causality graph of an associated type for the detected incident event and determines device log information necessary for cause identification on the basis of the extracted causality graph. A necessary log information collection processing unit collects the device log information determined by the necessary log information determination processing unit, and a cause analysis processing unit identifies a cause of the incident event by using the device log information collected by the necessary log information collection processing unit and the causality graph.

A positioning means includes spring pieces each having an abutting slope, and edges. Four spring pieces are formed in the second optical block such that their abutting slopes are disposed at four corners of the second optical block. Positioning is implemented when the abutting slopes meet the edges of the first optical block. Another positioning means includes a depressed part and a guide slope formed in one of the two optical blocks and a raised part formed in the other optical block.
