Abstract: An organism information authenticating apparatus has an organism information forming unit which forms organism information and a target processing unit which executes a target process regarding authentication by using the organism information. When the target processing unit instructs activation, the organism information forming unit notifies the target processing unit of information for the target process. Processing information necessary for the target process is obtained. A processing procedure for the target process is decided. Quality of the organism information is discriminated. Re-forming of the organism information is instructed until the organism information which satisfies predetermined quality is formed. The target process is executed by using such organism information. The processing information is held and when the re-forming is instructed, new organism information is re-formed on the basis of the organism. The target processing unit is notified of the re-formed organism information.

Abstract: In order to receive satellite broadcasting (BS and CS) and terrestrial broadcasting (VHF and UHF), complicated wiring is required in a personal residence for transmitting broadcasting signals to a plurality of TV receivers while new distributors must be additionally set for installing additional TV receivers in a condominium previously provided with distributors limiting the number of settable TV receivers. The inventive millimeter wave communication system forms power supply paths by simply connecting a BS/CS antenna with a millimeter wave transmitter and connecting an electronic apparatus such as a TV receiver with a millimeter wave receiver through connectors or the like while transmitting/receiving broadcasting signals by millimeter wave radio communication without employing wires such as coaxial cables indoors.

Abstract: An optical multiplexing apparatus converts input signals from multiple channels to an optical signal including optical pulses multiplexed on the time axis, transmits the optical signal, and controls the average power of the transmitted optical signal so as to maintain constant transmission quality even if the input signal on one or more channels is lost. For example, the average power may be held at a target value that varies according to the combined duty cycle of the multiplexed optical pulses. Alternatively, the average optical power may be held constant and dummy signals may be inserted to replace lost input signals, or to fill idle channels until signal input begins.
