摘要:
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.

A falling-time measuring unit measures time for which a fall of a storage device is consecutively detected by a fall detecting sensor. A head-position detecting unit detects a position of the head on a storage medium at a time of starting measuring the time. A moving-time calculating unit calculates necessary time for moving the head from the detected position to a destination position. A first-threshold determining unit determines whether the measured time exceeds a threshold calculated by a threshold calculating unit. A head-movement processing unit moves the head to the destination position when it is determined that the measured time exceeds the first threshold.

A retraction control unit controls a retraction of a head of a storage device to a retraction position apart from a ramp by a predetermined distance. When the head is retracted from the retraction position to the ramp, a speed control unit controls a speed of the head to ascend the ramp to be constant by outputting a preset control signal.

A head retracting apparatus retracts a head on a storage medium upon detecting a fall. A counter-value calculating unit calculates a counter value that changes with an increase of a falling time and an increase of a non-falling time. A retraction determining unit determines whether to retract the head, based on the calculated counter value.

A movement controlling unit performs movement control of a head toward a target track on a magnetic disk medium driving a head actuator, and a position controlling unit performs position control of the head actuator in accordance with proportional integral calculations such that a deviation of a head position relative to a track center is eliminated when the moving head arrives at the target track. A gain retaining unit retains an integral gain of the proportional integral calculations in an increased state during a predetermined retention time from the start of the position control, and a gain switching unit switches the increased integral gain smoothly to the original integral gain when the retention time has elapsed.

A method, apparatus, and computer program product for transacting a product purchase by a user. The product purchase is processed by a purchase server that recorded a unique user identification and is connected to an information providing server and a client (connected to the user) via a network. The purchase server: receives (from the information providing server) purchase data including purchase identity information including a description of a product selected by the user for purchase; receives (from the client) redirect data comprising purchase identity information describing the selected product; sends (to the client) a request for the unique user identification; receives (from the client) identification data pertaining to the user; authenticates the received identification data pertaining to the user; and validates purchase identity information in the received redirect data. The purchase identity information in both the purchase data and the redirect data does not include the unique user identification.

An apparatus for acquiring an internal-structure image of an object from a plurality of images of the object photographed by a photographing unit includes a control unit that controls the photographing unit to obtain the images under different photographing conditions; and an extracting unit that extracts a portion common to the images as the internal-structure image.
摘要:
Worm gear mechanism includes a driving worm, a torque delivering worm wheel meshing with the worm, and an auxiliary worm wheel superimposed on the torque delivering worm wheel. The auxiliary worm wheel has a pitch diameter greater than that of the torque delivering worm wheel. The auxiliary worm wheel is biased against the driving worm wheel via a biasing member in the form of a leaf spring.

In order to provide an individual identification device for enabling good blood-vessel imaging even in a noncontact way and using an identifying method suitable for noncontact imaging, the device comprises an imaging device for imaging blood vessels of a hand of the user in a noncontact way including a position/direction/shape instructing unit for instructing the user to hold up his hand, one or more irradiating units for irradiating the hand with near infrared radiation, and one or more imaging units for producing an image by near infrared radiation; a blood-vessel image extracting unit for extracting the blood-vessel image from the produced image; a blood-vessel image storage unit for storing the hand blood-vessel image of each user; and an identifying unit for identifying the user by comparing the extracted blood-vessel image with the registered blood-vessel image.
摘要:
A data input/output control apparatus and a storage device accessing method are provided wherein multiple information is simultaneously supplied to multiple users. Multiple information to be supplied to users is stored distributedly in a plurality of storage devices. A slot allocating unit determines the number S of slots such that the value S is prime to the number D of storage devices, and groups time zones in which data is read from or written into the storage devices to S slots in access order. On receiving an access demand from a user, the slot allocating unit allocates slots to the user. When writing data into a specific storage device, an access control unit writes data into the specific storage device by using a specific slot for accessing the specific storage device, from among the slots allocated to the user, and a slot which is D-1 slots before the specific slot. Consequently, a plurality of groups (dependence rings) of mutually dependent slots are formed.
