An optical element having a high capture efficiency and rim intensity is provided. The optical element includes a central axis, a first curved surface extending in the transverse direction with respect to the central axis, a second curved surface extending in the transverse direction with respect to the central axis, and a peripheral surface extending between the first curved surface and the second curved surface. Light is refracted from the time light is incident on the first curved surface to the time the light is emitted from the second curved surface. Thereby, a light intensity distribution of the light emitted from the second curved surface and a light intensity distribution of the light incident on the first curved surface are different from each other, and a rim intensity improvement rate R, which is a rate of the rim intensity of the emitted light with respect to the rim intensity of the incident light is 1.07 or more and 1.5 or less, in which the rim intensity represents a ratio of the central intensity to the peripheral intensity.

An optical lens includes a hologram, a refractive lens, and a phase level difference. The hologram has a sawtooth shape grating having a sawtooth shape in cross-section, and generates +2nd-order diffracted light most strongly with respect to blue light and +1st-order diffracted light most strongly with respect to red light, by setting a height of the sawtooth shape grating. The +2nd-order diffracted light of blue light is condensed through a substrate with a thickness t1, and the +1st-diffracted light of red light is condensed through a substrate with a thickness t2 (t1

Coma of an objective lens occurs depending on the lens-forming condition when plural disks of different substrate thickness are recorded and reproduced. An objective lens according to this invention is not influenced by the coma even if the thickness of the substrates is changed. For this purpose, a diffraction grating whose aberration is corrected is formed on the first side of an aspheric objective lens. Due to this correction, light beams having different diffraction orders, e.g. 0th order diffracted light and +1st order diffracted light, are focused respectively on two kinds of substrates of different thickness. The whole objective lens is tilted to correct its axial coma, and the tilt angle is predetermined to be substantially identical with respect to plural substrates which are different in thickness.

A three-dimensional modeling apparatus includes a stage, a head, a movement mechanism, and a control unit. The head supplies a process liquid that is one of a solution and a dispersion liquid onto the stage to cause a material that constitutes a three-dimensional object to be precipitated out of the process liquid by evaporating one of a solvent and a dispersion medium therefrom. The movement mechanism relatively moves the head and the stage. The control unit controls a drive of the movement mechanism to form the three-dimensional object.

An objective lens element that can suppress occurrence of an aberration is disclosed. Sawtooth-like diffraction structures having different height and cycles (pitches) are provided on an inner part R21 and an outer part R22, respectively. A curved surface M211 extending at an intermediate level of recesses and projections of the sawtooth-like diffraction structure provided on the inner part R21, and a curved surface M212 extending at an intermediate level of recesses and projections of the sawtooth-like diffraction structure provided on the outer part R22 are smoothly connected to each other. Even when wavelength of the light source and/or the environmental temperature change, a phase shift does not occur between the inner part R21 and the outer part R22, and a decrease in diffraction efficiency and occurrence of an aberration can be suppressed.

An optical synthetic resin composed of: a synthetic resin; and fine particles dispersed in the synthetic resin at a ratio of 0.1 vol % or more to 50 vol % or less, each having a maximum length of 1 nm or more to 30 nm or less, in which part of surfaces of the fine particles are modified with functional groups which themselves repel each other, and a distance between two arbitrary adjacent fine particles among the fine particles is in a range of 0.1 nm or more to 500 nm or less. The two arbitrary adjacent fine particles attract each other with an intermolecular force, thereby making it possible to provide an optical composite deviating from an additivity range.

An optical element which has optical steps each providing a phase difference to transmitted light and has low light amount loss and a high efficiency is provided. The optical element includes a symmetry axis, a plurality of optically functional surfaces which are ring-shaped regions around the symmetry axis, and a plurality of wall regions connecting the optically functional surfaces to each other. The optically functional surfaces and the wall regions constitute the optical steps. On a cross-section taken by, as a cutting plane, a plane including the symmetry axis, the contour line of each wall region is substantially parallel to a light beam which is incident on the optically functional surface on the outer side and passes near the wall region. The maximum value of the angle between the symmetry axis and the light beam passing near the wall region is equal to or more than 25 degrees.

In a combination of control signals on data signals and the data signals where the combination contains data signals to be assigned respectively to a plurality of streams, a control unit assigns a control signal contained in a leading combination and assigns a data signal, contained in the leading combination, to a position posterior to the assigned control signal. The control unit appends a known signal to at least one of the remaining combinations and then assigns sequentially the remaining combinations to a position posterior to the assigned data signal so as to generate packet signals.

A charging system provided for vehicles prevents theft of a charging cable, insertion of foreign matter into a vehicle-side receptacle, or tampering when an onboard battery usable for running power is charged from a household power supply. A cable connector of the charging cable is opposed to the vehicle-side receptacle in a connecting part to prepare for charging. When a PHV is exited, a switching command switching from an unlocked state of a door locking mechanism to a locked state is inputted to a PHV ECU responsive to an inputting manipulation performed on a key or door key sensor. The PHV ECU allows the door locking mechanism to switch from the unlocked state to the locked state. The PHV ECU allows locking mechanisms to switch from the unlocked states to the locked states in the manner interlocked with the switching action of the door locking mechanism.
