Abstract: The present invention provides an information processing device for estimating usage of contents and properly limiting functions realized through use of the contents in accordance with the estimation. Usage of contents is estimated by determining in which of cache memory means and content storage means the contents are stored. When the contents are processed or executed, it is determined whether to limit functions realized through processing or execution of the contents, on the basis of the estimated usage of the contents and function limit information showing a rule regarding limits on functions realized through processing or execution. On the basis of the determination, the functions realized through processing or execution of the contents are limited.

Abstract: The present invention provides a means for determining authenticity of a combination of files which are downloaded to a mobile station, and which are related to one another. To achieve the stated object, in a system according to the present invention, mobile station 16, which is capable of running a Java-APP, receives an ADF from CP server device 12. Then mobile station 16 receives a SDF from trusted server device 18, which is identified by data contained in the ADF. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of certificate data contained in the ADF, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the certificate data and a hash value of the certificate data which is contained in the SDF are identical to each other. Next, mobile station 16 receives a JAR file from CP server device 12. Mobile station 16 calculates a hash value of the JAR file, and verifies whether the calculated hash value of the JAR file and a hash value of the JAR file contained in the ADF are identical to each other.

Abstract: The present invention provides a means for reflecting modifications made in a server to data with regard to a scope of rights, which are granted to an application program operable in a communication device such as a mobile station, on data stored in the communication device. To achieve the aim, in a system according to the present invention, Java-AP software is provided to a mobile station by transmitting an ADF, a SDF and a JAR file from servers to the mobile station in that order. The SDF is a file containing data indicating restrictions of behavior of a Java-AP in a mobile station. The SDF also contains data indicating a validity state of the SDF, namely ‘valid’ or ‘invalid’, which is managed by management server device 18. Before a mobile station runs a Java-APP which is installed in the mobile station, the mobile station accesses management server device 18 and checks whether a SDF corresponding to the Java-APP is valid.

Abstract: A measuring instrument that includes a tube 21 having a female thread 211 and a spindle 3 having a lead screw 31 screwing with the female thread 211 and capable of being advanced and retracted in an axial direction along with rotation around the axial center, and measures dimensions etc. of a workpiece according to displacement in an axial direction of the spindle 3 based on a rotation amount of the spindle 3. According to this measuring instrument, a pitch P of the lead screw 31 is twice as large or more than the difference between an external diameter R and a core diameter r thereof, and the difference between the external diameter R and the core diameter r is one-fifth or less of the external diameter R. Because of the lead screw 31 with the large pitch, the spindle 3 can be moved at high speed, thus enhancing operational performance of the measuring instrument.

Abstract: A stator (42) is hooked in a frame body (10) away with a prespecified space from a spindle (2), so that it is not necessary to fix the stator with a screw. The stator (42), therefore, can easily be mounted, and further as it is not necessary to provide a screw hole in the frame body (10), so that the need for waterproofing processing associated with a screw hole is eliminated. Further the stator (42) is hooked in a protrusion (53) of an electronic unit (50) inside the frame body (10) away with a prespecified space from the spindle (2), so that a rotation thereof in the peripheral direction of the spindle due to play and rattle is small and a measurement error can be suppressed.

Abstract: Provided is a measuring device 1 for measuring the size of an object comprising a body 2, and a spindle 3 which is screwed into the body 2 and axially advances and retracts by screwing with respect to the body 2, the measurement being based on the axial displacement of the spindle 3 effected by the revolution of the spindle, wherein the spindle is screwed into the body 2 via a multiple-start thread 31. Therefore, it is possible to displace the spindle 3 at a high speed, which improves the operability of the measuring device.

Abstract: A mobile phone compares a URL of a provider of an original Java application (JavaAP) with a URL of a provider of a destination JavaAP, to determine whether a FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the URLs are identical. Only if the FQDNs are identical, the mobile phone permits the destination JavaAP to use data relating to the original JavaAP. In this way, appropriate management of transferring data from an application to another will be effected, thereby improving data security against an unauthorized application.
