Abstract: Disclosed herein is a network evaluating apparatus including: an acquisition section acquiring a plurality of packets each of which includes an identification value indicating an order in accordance with which data is transmitted from a transmission source, the plurality of packets being received one by one; and an evaluation section, in a case where the identification value included in a first packet as any one of the plurality of received packets indicates that the first packet is transmitted before a second packet received before the first packet, increasing an evaluation value indicating instability of a transmission and reception path.

Abstract: A transmission control device includes a delaying section and a transmitting section. When an application program calls a connect function, the delaying section delays transmission of a synchronize packet in response to the calling of the connect function. Upon calling of a transmit function by the application program while the transmission of the synchronise packet is being delayed, the transmitting section transmits the synchronise packet including transmission target data in response to the calling of the transmit function.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a plurality of wind pressure sensors that detect wind pressures, and a control unit that controls a predetermined process to be performed according to difference of the wind pressures detected by the plurality of wind pressure sensors.

Abstract: A power supply control apparatus includes an opening/closing unit that is used for starting or stopping power supply to an electric device, a reception unit configured to receive power-supply-control information that is transmitted from the electric device, and a control unit configured to control the opening/closing unit based on the power-supply-control information that is received by the reception unit.

Abstract: There is disclosed an error correcting apparatus comprising a storage medium read control section for reading out a data set from an optical disk such as a CD-ROM which stores therein at least one data set consisting of data of a predetermined length and error correcting codes for correcting errors within the data, and for detecting whether or not the data set read out from the optical disk contains one or more errors, a temporary buffer connected to the storage medium read control section for temporarily storing the data obtained by the storage medium read control section, a central processing section connected to the storage medium read control section and the temporary buffer for controlling them and for carrying out error correction with respect to the data set stored in the temporary buffer.
