Battery

Based on information that is transmitted to a UPS communication part by UPSs connected to an information processing apparatus, a UPS monitoring part monitors the states of the UPSs. A UPS control part employs the monitoring results to generate control information for controlling the state of at least one of the UPSs, and permits the UPS communication part to transmit the control information to the UPS that is to be controlled. The present invention can be applied for a computer having a redundant power supply function.

A red LED which emits red light and a green LED which emits green light are provided as light sources to emit detection beams onto a fingerprint collation surface. With a finger tip pressed against the fingerprint collation surface, only the red LED is enabled to emit light and reflected light from that surface at this time is input to an image pickup unit, thereby providing a first image. Likewise, only the green LED is enabled to emit light, thereby providing a second image. A difference between intensity levels of reflected light according to the undulations of the fingerprint is determined as a first differential contrast for the first image or second differential contrast for the second image. When the absolute value of a difference between the two differential contrasts is greater than a threshold value, the finger tip is determined as a genuine living finger tip.

A method and apparatus for a cable connection system is provided. The connection system includes a cable termination coupled to the end of a cable. The cable termination includes a body and two substantially circular pivots, and a cable input in the body of the cable termination for receiving the cable. The cable termination is designed to fit rotatable into a device having a mating housing. The device includes a groove on both sides of the mating housing, for fitting the cable in either direction, such that the cable termination may be rotated into the mating housing in either direction.
