A communication controller performs route control in a communication system comprising a specific network, a first network configured to accommodate a specific device connected to the specific network, a second network provided between the specific network and the first network, and a filter configured to restrict communication according to a predetermined condition. The communication controller device includes: a route-setting device which controls the path such that a first path of the branched path is set as a path leading to a predetermined address space including an address of the specific device via the filter, and a second path of the branched path is set as a path leading to the first network in which the predetermined address space is excluded from an address space of the first network.

Communication path control method, communication path control device, and communication path control program that divide a path leading to a network that accommodates a specific device into a path that passes through a filter device and a path that does not pass through a filter device

A texture processing for imparting a magnetic orientation in the circumferential direction is applied to a substrate so as to impart a magnetic anisotropy to the magnetic disk in the circumferential direction. An underlying film, a magnetic recording film, a protective film, and a lubricating film are laminated one upon the other on the surface of the substrate. The surface of the magnetic disk has a value of the contact ratio [BH 1.0 nm] falling within a range of 7% to 15% in a region having a height not smaller than 1.0 nm, based on the height at which the contact ratio in the bearing curve of a surface roughness is 50%.

An antistatic agent comprising a water-soluble electroconductive polymer comprising at least a repeating unit having a sulfo group-containing isothianaphthenylene structure; a method for suppressing electrification of an article during the production or use of the article by forming an electroconductive film comprising the water-soluble electroconductive polymer on the article; an article of which electrification is suppressed by having an electroconductive film comprising the water-soluble conductive polymer on the article; and a method for observing or inspecting an article with suppressing electrification thereof during irradiation with charged particle beams by forming an electroconductive film comprising the water-soluble electroconductive polymer on the article. The electroconductive film retains the electrification-suppressing effect and removability stably even when subjected to a heat treatment or left to stand for a long period of time. The antistatic agent can be formulated into a film-forming antistatic composition which can be used at any pH value from acidic to basic and which is excellent in storage stability.
