The present invention is intended to provide an image pickup device-equipped rear view mirror with improved image pickup performance, glare prevention and appearance (design) in addition to improved performance as a vehicle mirror. A mirror element is formed by forming a reflecting film consisting of high refractive index material films and a low refractive index material film on a back surface of a transparent glass substrate. The integrating sphere reflectance of the mirror element in the visible range is 40% to 60% and the near-infrared transmittance is no less than 70% for the whole or part of the band belonging to the near-infrared range within the entire sensitive wavelength range of the near-infrared camera. A black mask member is attached to an entire back surface of the reflecting film. The near-infrared camera is arranged behind the black mask member. The region corresponding to the area for the image-pickup by the near-infrared camera within the entire region of the black mask member is formed of a visible-light absorption and near-infrared transmission filter. The near-infrared transmittance of the visible-light absorption and near-infrared transmission filter is no less than 70% for the whole or part of the band belonging to the near-infrared range within the entire sensitive wavelength range of the near-infrared camera.

Executable software sent from an application service provider to a client computer can be arranged as a bundle of executable code blocks that are used during initialization of a group of applications (at least one initialization block from each application being included in the bundle). The bundle can include code for applications that are subscribed to by a user as well as for applications not subscribed to. As the subscribed applications are executed, usage data sent to a server may be monitored to determine unsubscribed applications that may be of interest to the user. Subscription offers may be automatically generated and sent to the user in response to processing of the usage data. Transmission efficiency of the code blocks may be improved by exchanging identification codes between the server and client to determine code blocks already present at the client.

An apparatus is provided which integrates sensor functionality with an active matrix display such as an AMLCD. A conventional active matrix 6 of LCD pixels 10 is provided with standard display source and gate drivers 4 and 5. The display source driver 4 supplies data signals for generating the required pixel response to column electrodes 12 which are also connected to an output arrangement 19 including sense amplifiers 20. During a display phase of operation, the AMLCD operates conventionally with the matrix 6 being refreshed a row at a time and frame by frame. Between frames, the sense amplifiers 20 are enabled and the matrix 6 is again scanned by the gate driver 5. The characteristics of each pixel represent an external stimulus which is sensed by the relevant sense amplifier 20 and supplied at an output 23 of the arrangement.

A telecommunications mesh network includes a plurality of nodes each interconnected by an edge. A traffic demand is received having a working path with a link of edges interconnecting a source node with a destination node. The telecommunications mesh network has one or more pre-cross-connected trails associated therewith that are subdivided into one or more subtrails. Subtrails that do not meet pre-determined conditions are discarded. A logical graph representation of the telecommunications mesh network is created from subtrails that have not been discarded. Unused, shortcut, and rival edges are inserted into the logical graph. A shortest admissible protection path from the source node to the destination node is identified from the logical graph.

The complete vertical inversion of a combination of the resin layer 2 and resin layer 3 in (a) is (b). Accordingly, (a) and (b) have the same optical characteristics. Between the resin layer 2 and resin layer 3, the resin layer that is sandwiched between the substrate 1 and the uppermost resin layer (i.e., the resin layer 2 in (a) and the resin layer 3 in (b)) does not have its surface directly contacting the outside air, but the uppermost resin layer (i.e., the resin layer 3 in (a) and the resin layer 2 in (b)) has its surface contacting the outside air. Accordingly, after comparing the resin in the resin layer 2 and the resin in the resin layer 3 in terms of environmental durability, if the environmental durability of the resin in the resin layer 2 is superior to the environmental durability of the resin in the resin layer 3, the construction shown in (b) may be adopted, and if the environmental durability of the resin in the resin layer 3 is superior to the environmental durability of the resin in the resin layer 2, then the construction shown in (a) may be adopted.
