Abstract:
An image processing apparatus includes circuitry that converts user voices that are input into a string of characters reflecting a statement made with the user voices, retrieves one or more items of information related to the string, stores the information being retrieved associated with identification information indicating a retrieval time when the information is retrieved, draws a graphical image including the information being stored on a projection target image to be projected by a projector, and controls the projector to project the projection target image including the graphical image, the graphical image having a size that is determined in accordance with the identification information associated with the information included in the graphical image being projected.
Abstract:
Components that demonstrate an α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and hyperglycemic inhibitory activity have clearly been provided from among the components included in Yacon. The present inventors found that as a result of screening for a strong anti-oxidant component in a Yacon aerial portion extract, an antioxidant activity was converged in a DIAION HP-20 column chromatography 50% methanol-eluted fraction of hot water extract. Thus, since a previously unidentified high-content component was confirmed, the present inventors conducted purification thereof, and thereby separated TCAA. As a result, this TCAA was found to be the component that demonstrates the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity and hyperglycemic inhibitory activity.
Abstract:
A recording medium comprising a recording area, the recording area includes a first area and a second area, the first area includes a frame area, the frame area includes an area in which a second synchronization code sequence and at least a portion of data are to be recorded, and the second area includes an area of linking frames in which a third synchronization code sequence and a fourth synchronization code sequence are to be recorded.
Abstract:
A recordable dual-layer optical disc which allows precise recording learning on both layers. A first information recording layer located further from the light incidence side includes a read-only control data area, a first test area, and a second test area. A second information layer located closer to the light incidence side includes a third test area located at a position opposite to the control data area, and a fourth test area located at a position opposite to the second test area.
Abstract:
A multi-layered information recording medium comprising a plurality of recording layers, a user data area for recording user data, provided in at least two of the plurality of recording layers, and a defect list storing area for storing a defect list. When at least one defective area is detected in the user data area, the defect list is used to manage the at least one defective area.
Abstract:
A multi-layered information recording medium including a plurality of recording layers, the multi-layered information recording medium comprising: a user data area for recording user data; and a plurality of spare areas including at least one replacement region, wherein when the user data area includes at least one defect region, the at least one replacement region may be used in place of the at least one defect region, wherein a first spare area of the plurality of spare areas is positioned so as to be contiguous to a first user data area of a first recording layer, a second spare area of the plurality of spare areas is positioned so as to be contiguous to a second user data area of a second recording layer, and the first spare area and the second spare area are positioned approximately at the same radial position on the multi-layered information recording medium.
Abstract:
An optical recording medium that allows information to be recorded and played back properly, even when a type of recording medium in which information is recorded to grooves is used along with a type of recording medium in which information is recorded to lands, as well as a method for recording and playback with this medium. Recording track information is recorded in advance, indicating whether information is to be recorded in the grooves or the lands, whichever of the grooves and lands is best suited to the recording of information is selected on the basis of the recording track information that is read out, and the recording or playback of information is performed.
