Abstract: An evaluation of an optical system with respect to visual acuity is appropriately performed, with a chromatic aberration of magnification of the optical system being taken into consideration.  A performance of the optical system is evaluated based on a correlation between a visual acuity when looking through the optical system and the chromatic aberration of magnification of the optical system, the correlation being a proportional relation such that, when the visual acuity is expressed by a logarithmic visual acuity, the logarithmic visual acuity deteriorates substantially in proportion to the chromatic aberration of magnification, or on a correlation between the visual acuity and an optical value regarding the chromatic aberration of magnification which is substantially equivalent to the correlation.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for managing an IP address assigned to a Mobile Node. In one embodiment, the Mobile Node appends an extension to the registration request that is sent to its Home Agent, which indicates that the Mobile Node requests use of the IP address previously assigned to the Mobile Node for an additional period of time. When the Home Agent receives the registration request, it indicates whether a lease on the IP address previously assigned to the Mobile Node has been granted by the Home Agent for an additional period of time. In another embodiment, the Home Agent sends a first control message to determine whether the Mobile Node continues to use the IP address. The Home Agent then determines whether a second control message has been received in order to ascertain whether the Mobile Node continues to use the IP address previously assigned to the Mobile Node. The present invention is preferably performed when a Mobile Node returns to its home network, thereby enabling the Mobile Node to retain the IP address assigned to it.
