There is provided an optical disc drive that can guide the center of an optical disc to the position of a spindle motor, while allowing the number of components to be reduced. A base frame includes a stopper portion that comes into contact with an outer edge of the optical disc having reached the position of a spindle motor and that restricts backward movement of the optical disc. A switch arm includes a contact portion located on a side opposite to the stopper portion across the optical disc having reached the position of the spindle motor, and the switch arm uses the contact portion to push the optical disc toward the stopper portion.

A sheet bodyincludes first and second sheetsandthat transmit infrared radiation. A rear face of the first sheetis opposed to a front face of the second sheet. An information code is marked on a front or rear face of the second sheetby using an infrared absorbing material. The rear face of the first sheetand the front face of the second sheetare stuck together with a highly infrared transmitting adhesive. The front face of the first sheetis marked with a pattern using an infrared transmitting material that is visible when visible radiation is irradiated onto the pattern.

A mobile communication terminalA, in a process of acquiring assistance information in advance for using for a GPS position measuring at step Smakes a judgment of whether or not the assistance information is to be acquired, prior to the GPS position measuring command by a user. When a result of this judgment is affirmative, the terminalA transmits an assistance information request to a position measuring assistance serverWhen the assistance information is returned from the position measuring assistance serverin response to this the assistance information request, in the cellular phoneA, the assistance information is received and stored, and then prepared for a command for position measuring by the user, for which possibility of being made is higher in a short period. As a result, it is possible to perform quickly the position measuring of a current location of the mobile communication terminal.

A method for correcting reference position information is provided. A reference position information correction judging sectionof an assistance serversaves location information in a location information storage and saving section, and judges whether to perform a correction of reference position information. The location information corresponds to a location of a cellular phonein a range cell. Next, a reference position information correcting sectioncalculates a corrected reference positionbased on the location information for the range cellstored in the location information storage and saving section. The corrected reference positionis sent to a database sectionfrom the reference position information correcting section, and is set as the reference position information of the range cell

When a user of a mobile communication terminal makes a request for a position-measuring of a current location, at step S, a position-measuring method determining section checks a position-measuring method specified. When the method specified is a 'cell ID position-measuring', and it is performed, when the method specified is a 'base station radio waves position-measuring'; a base station radio waves position-measuring is performed, when the method specified is a &#x201c;GPS position-measuring&#x201d; or a &#x201c;not specified&#x201d;, at step S, a judgment of whether an area in which the mobile communication terminal exist is an area suitable for data communication is made. When the judgment is negative, an autonomous GPS position-measuring is performed. When the judgment is affirmative, an assisted GPS position-measuring is performed. In this case, when the assisted GPS position-measuring has failed, in process to deal with failure of assisted GPS position-measuring at step S, in a case of predetermined conditions, further the autonomous GPS position-measuring or a supplementary cell ID position-measuring is performed.

A holder is rotatably connected to a body . A scribe tool is attached to one end of the holder . A plate spring is fixed to the body , and a receiving plate is fixed to the holder . A piezo-actuator is interposed between the plate spring and the receiving plate . One end of a plate spring having a small spring constant is fixed to the holder . The body is provided with an adjustment screw . When a lower end part of the adjustment screw is protruded, the lower end part presses the plate spring for flexure, thereby generating a resilient force to the plate spring . By this, a rotational force is given to the holder and thus a pressing load directing toward a workpiece is given to the scribe tool
