Abstract: The present technology relates to a sound processing apparatus and a sound processing system for enabling more stable localization of a sound image. A virtual speaker is assumed to exist on the lower side among the sides of a tetragon having its corners formed with four speakers surrounding a target sound image position on a spherical plane. Three-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the virtual speaker and the two speakers located at the upper right and the upper left, to calculate gains of the two speakers at the upper right and the upper left and the virtual speaker, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the target sound image position. Further, two-dimensional VBAP is performed with respect to the lower right and lower left speakers, to calculate gains of the lower right and lower left speakers, the gains being to be used for fixing a sound image at the position of the virtual speaker.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus and method, and a program that enable more efficient edit. The information processing apparatus includes a control unit that selects and groups a plurality of objects existing in a predetermined space, and changes the positions of the plurality of the objects while maintaining the relative positional relationship of the plurality of the grouped objects in the space. The present technology can be applied to information processing apparatuses.

Abstract: A stretchable high density woven fabric showing a cover factor of from 1,800 to 2,540 and stretchability in terms of a stretch ratio of from 5 to 20% in the warp or weft direction and having a poly(trimethylene terephthalate) fiber at least in the direction in which the woven fabric shows stretchability. The high density woven fabric shows good stretchability and water resistance (water pressure resistance), produces less rustling when contacted with woven fabrics, and provides an excellent soft and comfortable feeling, and it is therefore appropriate for sportswear, outerwear, and the like.

Abstract: The invention provides dyed yarn characterized by comprising dyed polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber, having an elastic recovery of 60% or greater under 10% elongation, and having a boiling water shrinkage of no greater than 4%. The dyed yarn of the invention has excellent stretchability and dimensional stability as well as a soft feel, and is therefore suitable for use in fabrics.

Abstract: To provide a method for sizing polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber yarns and a warp beam improved in mutual stickiness of the yarns and excellent in weavability, The sizing method according to the present invention is characterized in that the yarns are dried while controlling a stretch ratio S (%) between a squeeze roll and a drying cylinder in a range from −9 to −3% or from −1 to +4%. From the sized yarns thus obtained, a warp beam is formed at a winding tension in a range from 0.09 to 0.22 cN/dtex to have hardness in a range from 65 to 90 degrees.

Abstract: The invention provides false twisted yarn of a polyester composite fiber characterized in that the fiber is composed of single-filaments which are laminated with two types of polyester components in a side-by-side or eccentrical core/sheath fashion, at least one of the two polyester components is poly(trimethylene terephthalate), the difference in intrinsic viscosity between the two polyester components is 0.05-0.9 (dl/g), and the false twisted yarn has latent crimpability and has at least 50% stretching elongation of developed crimps prior to boiling water treatment.
