Method and apparatus for implementing multipurpose monitoring system

Method for the monitoring of an environment, by procuring, adjourning and storing in a memory, files representing the background space. Programs for processing data obtained from the observation of objects are defined and stored in a memory, for identifying the objects and for determining whether they are dangerous. Parameters, according to which the observation of the controlled space is effected, are determined and stored. Photographic observation of the controlled space or sections thereof, is performed according to the aforesaid observation parameters. The digital data representing these photographs are processed to determine whether possible dangerous objects have been detected, and if so, these objects are classified according to the stored danger parameters.

Photosensitive member cartridge and developer cartridge for use in an image-forming apparatus

A photosensitive member cartridge, having a photosensitive drum, is provided with guide grooves formed in opposite side walls of the photosensitive member cartridge. The guide grooves extend in an accurate shape from an upwardly open accommodating portion to a vicinity of a shaft of the photosensitive drum. A shaft of a developing roller has protruded opposite end portions that protrude outward from opposite sides of a case of a developer cartridge. The protruded end portions of the developing roller shaft are provided with bearings. When the developer cartridge is inserted into the accommodating portion toward the photosensitive drum, the guide grooves support and guide the bearings on the end portions of the developing roller shaft, so that the developer cartridge becomes properly set in the accommodating portion. An inverted triangular-shaped action-receiving portion, protruding from the outer surface of one of the opposite sides of the developer cartridge, is restrained from above by a lower contact portion of a lock lever that is disposed in the accommodating portion.

Access privilege transferring method

Disclosed herein is an access privilege transferring method for safely transmitting privilege information about each object between subjects (users) over an object space in which service objects are scattered. User information and secret information of clients are shared between the clients and servers. A client that transfers privilege information generates privilege information weakened in its own contents of privilege. Further, the client applies a one-way function or an encryption function to a bit string obtained by joining the generated privilege information and the secret information to each other, thereby generating protected privilege information with which a third party who does not know the secret information is not capable of tampering. Utilizing the protected privilege information makes it possible to safely transfer access privileges. Further, the server analyzes the protected privilege information by using the secret information to thereby make it possible to safely confirm whether a client that makes an object request is authorized.
