Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an encrypting unit that encrypts a value to be kept secret with a predetermined cipher key. The information processing apparatus includes a converting unit that converts, when the value to be kept secret is an initial value written at the time of initialization of a storage device in which a value encrypted by the encrypting unit is stored, the value encrypted by the encrypting unit into a value which is reversibly convertible and is independent of the cipher key used by the encrypting unit. The information processing apparatus includes a storing unit that stores the value converted by the converting unit in the storage device.

Abstract: A novel means by which HCMV infection can be detected with a high sensitivity and whose practicality is high is disclosed. The present inventors synthesized as many as 15 kinds of HCMV proteins in their full length forms, and intensively studied their reactivities with sera from HCMV-infected patients to find that all the infected patients can be detected without fail when using the pp28 full length protein as an antigen. The pp28 full length protein can be synthesized and purified as a recombinant protein in a large scale by using Escherichia coli, and can be commercially used as an antigen for HCMV tests.

Abstract: A monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes SARS virus is provided, and an immunoassay, immunoassay reagent and immunoassay device for detecting the SARS virus using the monoclonal antibody are disclosed. The monoclonal antibody according to the present invention is a monoclonal antibody against a nucleoprotein of a corona virus causing severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Abstract: An optical power monitor having a reduced number of component parts, easy to assemble, capable of facilitating positioning for achieving improved optical coupling, and having a reduced size and a reduced manufacturing cost. A pigtail fiber in which the center axis of an optical fiber is shifted from the center axis of the columnar capillary by 0.020 to 0.150 mm is used. The pigtail fiber and a photo diode are provided in a cylindrical tube with the pigtail fiber center axis and the photo diode center axis aligned with each other. The pigtail fiber and the photo diode can be adjusted to the optimum position in the cylindrical tube by adjustment in the longitudinal direction, thus advantageously simplifying the adjustment process in comparison with that in the conventional optical power monitor in which adjustments by movement in the radial direction, movement in the longitudinal direction and rotation about the center axis are made.

Abstract: A drive preserves a default input password. When there is no password input from the user, the default input password is regarded as a user input password and is compared and collated with a password for access protection, thereby controlling the access protection. In this instance, if the default input password and the password for access protection have the same value, a collation coincidence is obtained. The drive permits the access without needing a password input of the user.

Abstract: A data protection method is used for protecting data recorded on a removable storage medium, such as an optical magnetic disk. The method includes the steps of authorizing to read and access a part of a directory area on a storage medium without specifying a password given to the removable storage medium. When accessing the removable storage medium, a user is required to input a password, the inputted password is compared with a predetermined password, and if not coincident, access is inhibited, and further, if coincident, it is permitted to access only one part of an area of the removable storage medium.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for protecting data on a storage medium by encrypting the data to be recorded on the storage medium with a password. This method comprises a step of, generating, for changing key data on each memory unit by one password, the key data, thereafter encrypting the key data with the password and writing the encrypted data to the storage medium, and a step of encrypting the data with the key data and encrypted data to the storage medium. The method further comprises a step of reading the encrypted key data from the storage medium, a step of decoding the encrypted key data with the password, and a step of decoding the data on the storage medium with the decoded key data. The encryption is done by using the key data generated separately from the password, and it is therefore feasible to prevent the password from being analyzed by decoding a cipher text.

Abstract: A motor cycle incorporates a sensor detecting a condition of the tire, such as, for example, tire pressure. A transmitter transmits the tire condition and a receiver receives the tire condition. An indicator indicates the tire condition. A battery supplies electric power to an engine of the motorcycle, the receiver and the indicator. A control device controls the power supply to the engine, the receiver and the indicator from the battery. A main switch assembly and an activating switch, which activates the receiver and the indicator, are interposed between the battery and the control device. The control device allows power supply to the engine, the receiver and the indicator when the main switch assembly is turned on. The control device also allows power supply to the receiver and the indicator when the activating switch is turned on. In some arrangements, the activating switch is automatically turned on when another sensor detects a condition change of a frame assembly of the motorcycle.
