Abstract: A cathode ray tube has, on an external surface of a face-panel, an anti-reflection film in which a layer mainly consisting of SiO2 is laminated on a transparent conductive layer that includes at least one of colored ITO and colored ATO, and a coloring matter that has a color that is a complementary color with respect to the colors of ITO and/or ATO. As the colored ITO and/or colored ATO, one that has a particle diameter of from 10 to 500 nm is employed. In addition, as the coloring matter, a dyestuff that has the maximum absorption in the wavelength range of 550 to 600 nm or the like is employed. Value of surface resistance of the anti-reflection film is preferable to be 1×106 &OHgr;/sq or less. A cathode ray tube having such an anti-reflection film can prevent effectively AEF from occurring and realize an improved contrast and comfortable body color.

Abstract: An inventory information collecting unit automatically collects inventory information including inventory information regarding software installed in each of a plurality of computers within an organization. A usage-state information collecting unit updates a software license usage number which represents the number of software licenses used in each section of the organization. When the sum of the software license usage numbers of the respective sections of the organization exceeds a software license holding number which represents the number of software licenses owned by the organization, a license purchasing unit generates a purchase transaction for purchasing software licenses, the number of which is equal to the difference between the sum and the software license holding number and transfers a purchase expense to relevant sections.

Abstract: A NOx reduction system includes a NOx catalytic converter mounted in an exhaust passage of an engine, such as a diesel engine, and an air supply passage that communicates with a portion of the exhaust passage located upstream of the NOx catalytic converter. The air supply passage supplies the exhaust passage with a mixture of air and cracked gas obtained by spraying fuel into the air and heating it up to 350-450° C. for partial oxidation thereof. With the mixture added to the exhaust gas, NOx contained in the exhaust gas can be effectively removed due to the NOx reducing capability of the cracked gas.
