Abstract: The invention provides a method of producing a solid material, and the method includes: applying a light coloring substance to at least one of an inner surface of a die bore, an upper end surface of a lower punch, and a lower end surface of an upper punch; filling a powdery material in the die bore; compression molding the powdery material filled in the die bore with use of the upper punch and the lower punch; and irradiating with light a molded product obtained by the compression molding to color the molded product.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, method and computer-readable medium that generates a plurality of movement trace tracks based on stored position information, generates a content track based on acquired content information, generates a track list by combining the plurality of movement trace tracks and the content track, and outputs the track list.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus, method, and recording medium which acquire movement trace information and automatically determine a division point for dividing the movement trace information based on an analysis result of the movement trace information. Optionally a movement trace track is generated from the movement trace. Various criteria used for how the division points are generated include using distance and time; altitudes; repeated track; mode of transportation; and lapse of data, for example.

Abstract: A navigation device, method and computer program storage device cooperate to seamlessly provide electronic navigational assistance, despite the user electing to use different modes to transportation, such as motored vehicle, by foot, or by bicycle, for example during a single trip. In addition to prospective (forward looking) navigation assistance, retrospective assistance is offered as well by the device collecting and storing actual traversal path of the device even when multiple modes of transportation are used in a single trip.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a communication system including a signal output apparatus for outputting a stream signal, and first and second communication apparatuses for performing wireless communication. The first communication apparatus includes, a communication processing section configured to perform wireless communication of the stream signal over a stream line with the second communication apparatus, a signal input section configured to input the stream signal outputted from the signal output apparatus, a voltage detection section configured to detect a voltage at the signal output apparatus, and a control section configured to perform a streaming process of transmitting the stream signal inputted from the signal output apparatus via the signal input section to the second communication apparatus over the stream line, and also perform operation control based on a result of the detection by the voltage detection section.

Abstract: Described is an image data reproduction apparatus including a reproduction section for reproducing image data from a recording medium. A display section shows the image data. An operation section gives a command for switching the display from a one frame image data display to a list image display. A control section executes list image display on the display section in response to the detection of an operation by the operation section when one piece of image data generated from the recording medium is displayed on the display section. The control section also moves a selection display on the list image display in response to the detection of an operation of the operation section. A display control method is also described which includes the steps of: detecting an operation of the operation section; executing list image display by a display section; and moving the selection display on the list image display.
