Abstract: A wearable device enables a user to switch the device to another state while the user is pointing a finger at an object at a distant position. A wearable camera that a user wears on a finger includes a release switch configured to switch to another state in response to an operation of the user, who is pointing an index finger at an object, with a thumb that is different from the index finger. Such switching of the release with the thumb enables the user to shoot an image of an object at a distant position.

Abstract: An information processing device, an information processing method, and a program are provided. The information processing device includes a virtual object control unit that generates a control parameter that controls display of a first virtual object corresponding to a first real object and a second virtual object corresponding to a second real object on the basis of first posture information indicating a posture of the first real object and second posture information indicating a posture of the second real object, and a determination unit that makes a determination related to contact between the first virtual object and the second virtual object. The virtual object control unit generates the control parameter on the further basis of a result of the determination.

Abstract: A disassembling apparatus that shatters an object by means of pulsed discharge includes a container that can be filled with a liquid, an anode that is disposed within the container, a cathode that is disposed such that the object can be placed so as to straddle the anode and the cathode, object scattering prevention means that encloses an object disassembling region above the anode and the cathode, and a pulsed power supply that applies a high voltage pulse between the anode and the cathode.

Abstract: A data determination apparatus includes: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to: calculate a difference in signal values between each combination of neighboring pixels among a plurality of pixels forming image data of a barcode; compare a sum of a plurality of the differences with a reference value; and detect, based on a result of the comparing, a pixel at a boundary position at which a signal value of the pixel is switched from one of a first value and a second value to a remaining one of the first value and the second value among the plurality of pixels forming the image data.

Abstract: An objective is to improve the spinnability and the productivity and increase the tensile strength of a polyester fiber containing polyhydroxyalkanoate. Disclosed is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester fiber containing a polyhydroxyalkanoate, a nucleating agent, and a lubricant, wherein the nucleating agent contains pentaerythritol, and the lubricant contains at least one of behenic amide, stearic acid amide, erucamide, oleic amide, and a combination thereof.

Abstract: A motor-driven compressor includes an electric motor, a housing including a tubular bearing holder, and plastic members. Each of the plastic members includes a connecting passage. The electric motor includes a stator including a stator core and coils. The coils include a coil end. The connecting passage has opposite ends in the axial direction, each of the opposite ends including an opening so that two spaces defined by the stator core in the housing are connected to each other through the connecting passage. The bearing holder is at least partially opposed to one of the openings of the connecting passage and disposed at an inner side of the coil end in the radial direction.

Abstract: The virtual shape of knit product comprising plural parts and mutually divided in the knit data is simulated. The connection information regarding how said parts are mutually connected is obtained based upon the knit data or the pattern data of the knit product, and the plural parts are mutually based upon the obtained connection information. The virtual shape of the knit product is deformed by deforming the plural parts according to the forces acting on the plural parts. At least one of the plural parts is stretched automatically or according to at least an instruction by a user, and then, the virtual shape of the knit product is re-deformed to a natural shape by re-deforming the plural parts according to the forces acting on the plural parts. Then, stitches are allocated within the plural parts, and the allocation of the stitches is smoothed within the plural parts.
