Abstract: An optical system (1,2) has an optical functional surface including
a common region (A) used for conducting information recording
and/or reproducing for both of a first optical information
recording medium and a second optical information recording
medium. The common region (A) comprises a refractive surface (A,1) of
an imaginary basic aspherical surface and an optical path
difference providing structure (A,2) in which plural ring-shapes
zones are separated around the center of an optical axis and
neighboring ring-shaped zones are displaced to each other in
a direction of an optical axis so as to cause an optical path
difference obtained by multiplying a predetermined wavelength
λs (λ1 < λs < λ2) with almost an integer. The refractive
surface (1) of the imaginary basic aspherical surface is
structured such that a spherical aberration becomes under connected on
the first information recording medium and a spherical
aberration becomes over connected on the second information recording
medium.

Abstract: A system and method for securing transactional data communicated over a
wireless network in a retail store by obfuscating transactional messages in
a traffic flow. The system includes a load balancer (20) coupled to a
host (18) and a plurality of terminals (14a-14n) connected to the host
through a wireless network. The load balancer determines idle periods of
time of the communication.
If this time is greater than a threshold, a bogus transactional
request message is sent to one or more terminals. Accordingly bogus transactional
messages with false customer, account, and transactional data
are transmitted by the terminals to the host until a
timer expires or a real transaction commences.
Real and false transactional messages are also
encrypted to increase processing time for the messages by eavesdroppers.

Abstract: Provided are apparatus and method for enabling duplex communication by
generating an optical millimeter signal in a hybrid fiber-radio system. Instead of a
high-frequency local oscillator, a non-data mode signal among the signals that are
generated by applying intense light emitted from a master laser to a slave laser so as
to lock the signal of the slave laser and then shifting the signal using an intermediate
frequency (IF) local oscillator is diplexed in a remote base station so as to be reused
as a signal source of uplink signal transmission. When an optical millimeter/micro
wave is transmitted in a fiber-radio transmission system, a satellite side mode among
signals generated using two lasers and a cheap IF local oscillator is diplexed and is
then converted into an upstream signal, and duplex communication can be
accomplished by using the upstream signal. By using a diplexer instead of
expensive high-frequency mixer or local oscillator, an economical effect can be
achieved.

Abstract: A Factorized Power Architecture ("FPA") method and apparatus for supplying power
to highly transient loads such as microprocessors includes a front end power regulator
("PRM) which provides a controlled DC bus voltage which is converted to the desired load
voltage using a DC voltage transformation module ("VTM") at the point of load. The VTM
converts the DC bus voltage to the DC voltage required by the load using a fixed
transformation ratio K=V out /V in  where V in  > V out  and with a low output resistance. The
response time of the VTM, T VTM  is less than the response time of the PRM, T PRM . A first
capacitance, C 1 , across the load is made large enough to support the microprocessor current
requirement within a time scale, T 1 , which is preferably greater than or equal to the
characteristic open-loop response time of the VTM by itself, T VTM . A second capacitance,
C 2 , at the input of the VTM is made large enough to support the microprocessor current
requirement within a time scale, T 2 , which is preferably greater than or equal to the closed-loop
response time of the front end power regulator, T PRM . Feedback may be provided from
a feedback controller at the point of load to the front end or to upstream, on-board power
regulator modules ("PRMs") to achieve precise regulation. The VTM may convert power bidirectionally
to return power to the bus during a "load dump." Energy storage at the input to
the VTM is greater than energy storage at the load.

Abstract: Provided is an actuator for use in a pickup device, which can improve the
quality of the pickup device by reducing a lens distortion even when the frequency of an
electromagnetic drive rises beyond a servo band and causes resonance of a lens holder.
An adhesive layer (11) is formed between an outer peripheral portion (6A) of an
objective lens (6) and a lens holder (4). This adhesive layer (11) has a sufficient
thickness dimension enough to absorb deformation of the lens holder (4) even when the
lens holder (4) is deformed due to resonance. Even when the frequency at which an
electromagnetic drive (9) operates rises beyond the servo band and causes resonance of
the lens holder (4), the adhesive layer (11) functions as a buffer so that deformation of
the lens holder (4) is less transmitted to the objective lens (6).

Abstract: A computer network has storage devices organized into X levels and storing element-group information. To determine whether an element is a member of any target groups, each target group is validated by searching the storage devices to find a target group item and, if found, placing the target group in a validated target bin (V). Also, , the element is validated by searching the storage devices to find an element item, and if found, determining from the item all groups that the element is listed as being a member of and placing such member-of groups in a search bin (S). If (S) intersects (V), the element is a member of a target group. If not, all groups in (S) are moved to a queue (Q1) corresponding to the storage device at level 1 and an iterative process searches for a membership path from the element to any target group.
