An optical transmitting apparatus is configured such that K pieces of output ports of optical path switching units whose input port is connected to k-th input transmission path are connected to first to K-th output transmission paths except for the k-th output transmission path and to the k-th input port of a dropping unit, and the optical path switching units and the dropping unit outputs light of wavelength which is part or all of WDM light received from said input port from a specific output port, and can output light having a wavelength different from that of the light output from said specific output port from an output port different from said specific output port. Accordingly, while largely reducing the number of optical fiber patch cords necessary in an optical transmitting apparatus and largely reducing the number of spare ports, the flexible expansion of apparatus function can be realized.

In a chromatic dispersion and dispersion slope compensating apparatus according to the present invention, a WDM light which has been angularly dispersed to a first direction by a VIPA plate, is angularly dispersed to a second direction vertical to the first direction by a diffraction grating, and optical signals of respective wavelengths output from the diffraction grating are reflected by any one of a plurality of three-dimensional mirrors having reflective surfaces of curved shapes different from each other, to be returned to the VIPA plate. Thus, with a simple control mechanism in which the plurality of three-dimensional mirrors are moved to only the second direction, an apparatus capable of variably compensating for the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope independent of each other can be provided.

A method of delivering content data is provided that makes content data able to be reproduced at a user terminal by delivering content key data necessary to decrypt the content data. Specifically, portable storage media storing in advance the content data encrypted with the content key data is connected to the user terminal having a unique terminal ID. User key data that is provided with a predetermined expiration date and is necessary to encrypt the content key data is transmitted from a server to the user terminal. The user key data is stored in an internal memory in the user terminal in such a way that the user key data is unable to be read out of the internal memory. The content key data necessary to decrypt the content data stored in the portable storage media is encrypted with the user key data, and the encrypted content key data is stored in the user terminal or the portable storage media.

One aspect of the present invention is to provide a login system and method which can be easily applied to corporate members, and which can prevent unauthorized use even if authentication information is copied. Because of a configuration in which login is carried out by using service right data for each medium identifier of a secure storage medium, unless a dishonest person uses the secure storage medium, it is impossible to log in even if the dishonest person copies authentication information. Further, provided that the secure storage medium is distributed to every signal person belonging to a corporate body, it can be applied to corporate users in the same way as individual users.

An optical pickup apparatus for an information reproducing apparatus is adapted to reproduce one of at least first and second type optical record media which is loaded on the information reproducing apparatus. The first and second type optical record media have distances from surfaces to information record planes different from each other. The optical pickup apparatus is provided with: a light emission device for emitting a reading light; an objective lens for focusing the emitted reading light onto the information record plane of the loaded one of the first and second type optical record media such that a focus condition of the focused reading light is optimum with respect to the first type optical record medium; a correction device for correcting a spherical aberration of the focused reading light with respect to the second type optical record medium due to a difference in the distances from the surfaces to the information record planes between the first and second type optical record media when the second type optical record medium is loaded; and a light receiving device for receiving a reflection light of the focused reading light from the information record plane of the loaded one of the first and second optical record media.
摘要:
A method of forming an organic thin film includes developing organic molecules having a hydrophilic portion and a hydrophobic portion on a water surface, and compressing the organic molecules thereby to form a monomolecular layer of a predetermined surface pressure. The monomolecular layer is brought into contact with a given substrate. Then, the substrate to which the monomolecular layer is adhered, is pulled at such a rate that the surface pressure is not substantially lowered, thus transferring the monomolecular layer onto the substrate.

An elliptical paraboloid, which is a basic surface, has an elliptical section when it is cut by a plane perpendicular to its optical axis, and has a parabolic section when it is cut by a plane including its optical axis. A light source is arranged on the optical axis. A cross sectional curve obtained when a reflecting surface is cut by a plane perpendicular to its optical axis is expressed by a finite-order vector algebraic expression by specifying its end point positions and coefficient vectors. As a result, the reflecting surface is formed as a free surface deviating from the basic surface. Operations for controlling the surface, which are important in forming a cutline, are an operation of making the tangential vector at the end point of the cross sectional curve orthogonal to the position vector, and an operation of twisting the surface. By these operations the light-distribution control is performed so that longitudinally extending peripheries of respective filament images can be flush with one another. Finally, a sharp cutline is formed which is specific to a low beam.

The indium compound is indium hydroxide or indium sulfide prepared by neutralizing an aqueous solution of an indium salt. The surfactant has a hydrophilic part of a polyethylene oxide and an oleophilic part of a fluoroalkyl group. The zinc alloy contains a proper amount of at least one of the group of indium, lead, bismuth, lithium, calcium and aluminum. The indium hydroxide or indium sulfide is present in an amount of 0.005 to 0.5 wt % and the surfactant in an amount of 0.001 to 0.1 wt %, based on the weight of the zinc alloy, respectively. Furthermore, the indium hydroxide and indium sulfide in a powder form contain 60 wt % or more of particles having a particle size of 0.5 to 8 .mu.m. The indium hydroxide has a weight loss of 18 to 30 wt % when thermally decomposed at up to 900.degree. C. and a powdery X-ray diffraction pattern having peaks at 4.71.+-.0.10 .ANG., 3.98.+-.0.02 .ANG., 3.57.+-.0.10 .ANG. and 2.66.+-.0.02 .ANG..
