A processor with a personal verification function has a mouse used by a hand to operate a terminal (personal computer or personal computer main body) and being able to output a photographic blood vessel image obtained by photographing a blood vessel image of the palm of the hand, and a verifying unit carrying out personal verification at a desired time on the basis of the photographic blood vessel image outputted from the mouse and a registration blood vessel image. The mouse has a radiating unit radiating near-infrared light toward the palm of the hand, and a photographing unit photographing the photographic blood vessel image with reflected light from the palm of the hand. The processor with a personal verification function and an operating device make possible personal authentication and personal identification at any time, and are operable within a saved-space without placing a burden on the user.

An image forming apparatus causes an illuminating unit and an imaging unit to equally split a predetermined exposure time into a plurality of split exposure times, and acquire an image with illumination and an image without illumination in each of the split exposure time. A luminance difference image for a particular split exposure time is calculated by subtracting the image without illumination from the image with illumination of the exposure time. The luminance difference images of all the split exposure times are integrated.

A falling-time measuring unit acquires information indicating whether a magnetic disk drive is falling, from a fall sensor at a predetermined sampling cycle, and measures a falling time based on the acquired information. A threshold changing unit counts number of times the measured falling time exceeds a predetermined fall-determination threshold within a predetermined time, and extends the fall-determination threshold when the counted number of times exceeds a predetermined maximum number of times. A head retracting unit retracts the head to the retraction position when the measured falling time exceeds the extended fall-determination threshold.
摘要:
A fall sensor detects a fall of a storage device. A first moving unit moves the head to a predetermined position on a storage medium when a falling time exceeds a first threshold. A second moving unit retracts the head from the predetermined position to a ramp when the falling time exceeds a second threshold.
摘要:
A sample-information extracting unit acquires a fall signal indicating whether a storage device is falling, conducts a sampling in response to the fall signal, and sequentially extracts sample information including either one of first information indicating a falling state and second information indicating a non-falling state. A retraction determining unit determines whether to retract the head, based on features of an array of the extracted sample information.

The present invention has been made to provide a technique capable of easily preventing the third party from misusing the data related to an individual physical feature in the case where individual authentication is performed based on the physical feature. An individual authentication system that authenticates an individual based on his or her physical feature comprises an authentication information acquisition section that acquires, at the time of authentication of an individual, information related to a state in which predetermined processing has applied to predetermined physical feature of the individual as authentication information for authentication determination; a registration information acquisition section that acquires the previously registered information related to a state in which predetermined processing has applied to predetermined individual physical feature as registration information for authentication; and an authentication determination section that determines authentication of the authentication information acquired by the authentication information acquisition section based on the registration information acquired by the registration information acquisition section.

In accordance with input user ID, a personal template fetcher reads biometric feature data and biometric shape data from a template storage. A verification area finder determines a verification area that matches a detection area of a verification sensor within an area of biometric features. A guide information generator combines the verification area with a contour shape reconstructed from the biometric shape data, received from the personal template fetcher, to generate a guide pattern. A guide information presenter presents the generated guide pattern to the user. A verification sensor extracts biometric feature information from an input image of biometric features and converts it into numeric data to obtain biometric feature data. A biometric feature verifier then verifies the biometric feature data obtained by the verification sensor in comparison with the biometric feature data received from the personal template fetcher in the verification area received from the verification area finder.

A common-mode choke coil includes a core, external electrodes, a pair of wires, and a top plate. The core includes a winding core portion and a pair of flanges at both ends of the winding core portion. The upper surface of the winding core portion and the upper surfaces of the flanges are covered with a metal film. The external electrodes are provided on lower portions of the flanges. A pair of wires are wound on the winding core portion of the core, and the ends of the wires are connected to the external electrodes. The top plate is bonded to the upper surfaces of the flanges preferably via an adhesive.
