Abstract: A data processing apparatus selects content to be provided as a stimulus. The data processing apparatus includes a selecting part that selects the first content to be provided to a user as a stimulus from a plurality of pieces of content, and an acquiring part that acquires sleep data indicating sleep quality of the user provided with the first content selected by the selecting part. The selecting part selects the second content having an attribute different from that of the first content on the basis of a relationship between an attribute of a stimulus that the first content provides to the user, and sleep quality indicated by sleep data.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes first and second inspection mark regions having the same pattern including a plurality of overlay inspection marks, a first element region having a portion overlapping with the first inspection mark region, and a second element region having a portion overlapping with the second inspection mark region. The first and second element regions are adjacent to each other and have different areas. The first element region includes a first pattern aligned with a plurality of first overlay inspection marks. The second element region includes a second pattern aligned with a plurality of second overlay inspection marks.

Abstract: An ultrasonic flaw detector for performing flaw detection of a circumferential defect on a surface of a steel pipe is configured such that only a surface wave probe configured to transmit a surface wave to the surface of the steel pipe is provided as a probe for transmitting an ultrasonic wave to the steel pipe and a position of the surface wave probe is fixed in a state where a surface wave transmission direction of the surface wave probe is in parallel with a pipe axis direction of the steel pipe.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technique of manufacturing an adhesive tape roll by which cut lines for cutting an adhesive tape can be regularly formed at a constant position. Provided are a winding roller (32) that winds the adhesive tape (2) fed out from a mother roll (31) and a cut-lines formation roller (33) that is provided between the mother roll (31) and the winding roller (32) and forms the cut lines (4) in the adhesive tape (2) at a predetermined interval. The winding roller (32) and the cut-lines formation roller (33) are rotated in synchronization with each other via predetermined gears (40).

Abstract: A canopy for a paraglider or a parachute. The canopy including upper and lower sides and a plurality of ribs extending between the sides and made of a mesh cloth. The upper and lower sides and the ribs define a plurality of cells which are arranged adjacent one another. Each of the cells has an opening at a front end thereof for introducing air into the canopy. The mesh cloth of the ribs includes large and small apertures disposed therein. According to one embodiment, either the large or the small apertures are arranged in matrix-like groups which are separated from one another by the other of the large and small apertures. According to another embodiment, the large and small apertures are disposed in groups which are arranged parallel to one another in the vertical direction.

Abstract: This invention discloses an emergency shaft seal device wherein a packing ring of elastic material the inside diameter of which is larger than the outside diameter of a rotatable shaft is received in an annular groove along the periphery of the rotatable shaft to be free and not in contact with the rotatable shaft, and in the event of abnormal condition of a main shaft seal device used under the normal conditions, the packing ring is deformed by the pressure of a pressurized fluid applied to the outer periphery of the packing ring to be equally pressed to the periphery of the rotatable shaft so that the sealing is performed by the packing ring in place of main shaft seal.

Abstract: A transparent detergent bar possessing good foaming power and detergency in hard water is formulated consisting essentially of at least one salt of a N-long chain acyl-optically active acidic amino acid neutralized with a basic amino acid in the ratio of 1 mol of the former to 1 to 2 mols of the latter and water in the range of 5 to 35% based on the weight of the bar apart from water. Other adjuvents may be present.
