Abstract: A device search is executed using a first network protocol capable of searching for a device in a first subnet including an information processing apparatus and a second subnet not including the information processing apparatus (a first search). A device search is executed using a second network protocol capable of searching for a device in only the first subnet among the first subnet and the second subnet (a second search). According to whether or not a selected device selected by a user among one or a plurality of devices detected by the first search is detected by the second search, a communication port for the selected device is determined.

Abstract: A polishing tool includes a polishing surface having a spherical zone shape and having a plurality of non-contact portions provided from an inner edge to an outer edge of the polishing surface so as not to contact with a workpiece. The plurality of non-contact portions is a plurality of grooves whose widths in a circumferential direction increase from the inner edge toward the outer edge. A polishing method using the polishing tool includes: rotating the polishing tool about the central axis of rotation; and simultaneously with rotating the polishing tool, swinging relatively at least one of the workpiece and the polishing tool with a predetermined swing width, around a position where a line passing through a center of the workpiece and intersecting with the central axis of rotation passes through a center in a width direction of a spherical zone of the polishing surface, thereby polishing the workpiece.

Abstract: The sound output setting system for information processing terminals is provided, capable of outputting a desired call progress tone from a terminal to be heard by the user easily with simple configuration. The system includes a SIP server and information processing terminals connected via a LAN using SIP. The SIP server has a tone management table for defining and recording types of sounds output by the information processing terminals in association with their identification codes, and an audio file storage region for recording audio files corresponding to the identification codes. The information processing terminal has a client application unit, which acquires a management table from the tone management table and an audio file from the audio file storage region at a predetermined time, and compares them with recorded data in its own tone management table region and audio file storage region to update the recorded data.

Abstract: A movable contact point board provided with contact points is urged in a direction of being away from stationary contact points by return springs each having the same size and the same characteristic, and is arranged as opposed to the stationary contact points. Return springs have the respective ends for supporting locations in the movable contact point board which are away from each other as having the contact points in the movable contact point board therebetween and support heights of the return springs at the stationary side differ with each other by D. When a plunger equipped with a holding portion having a flat surface as a bottom surface presses the movable contact point board, the contact point in the movable contact point board gets in contact with the stationary contact point at an inclined posture.

Abstract: A movable contact board is engaged to a detent plate and the movable contact board is provided with a plurality of support portions, for example, four legs for supporting a stationary contact board and, on the other hand, the stationary contact board is provided with a plurality of guide grooves for reciprocally guiding the four support portions (legs) in the movable contact board along the rotational direction. Further, the plurality of the support portions (leg) are configured of the support portions, for example, four legs extending generally vertically from the movable contact board so as to straddle stationary contact points and bending portions provided in the four respective legs to penetrate through the pair of the guide grooves in the stationary contact board for supporting the stationary contact board from the backside. Thereby, an inhibitor switch preferable in view of reduction in the number of components and reduction in a plastic amount can be provided.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a storage unit configured to store a device driver and an operating system, and a deletion unit configured to delete the device driver, wherein the deletion unit issues a command before deleting the device driver to deactivate a software instance associated with a device corresponding to the device driver.

Abstract: An optical device includes first and second laminated films of alternate layers of optical thin films of high refractivity material and low refractivity material, and having an optical film thicknesses of “a” and “b” respectively; wherein b>a, and an optical plate on which the first laminated film and the second laminated film are formed in sequence from at least one primary surface of the optical plate, wherein a third laminated film comprised of a lamination of optical thin films of high refractivity material and low refractivity material and having an optical film thickness “c” is interposed between the first laminated film and the second laminated film, wherein b>c>a. As a result, an optical device which has spectral characteristics where ripple in the opaque zone which blocks infrared light is suppressed, can be obtained.
