Abstract: A support arm has an attachment hole formed thereon. The support arm has a first side wall and a second side wall both constituting edge of the attachment hole. An engaged convex portion is formed on the second side wall. The first side wall restricts a hook of the front panel from moving in a direction away from the second side wall toward the first wall. The first side wall is elastically deformable such that it swells in the direction.

Abstract: Active shutter 3D glasses with multiple optical detectors, such as photodiodes, are described that detect a frame rate of a 3D television or other 3D display by using independent component analysis. The detected frame rate is used to update a clock onboard the 3D glasses that times the active shutters, thereby synchronizing the shutters to the 3D display. A switch can reverse the shutters in case the left eye/right eye images are shown oppositely.

Abstract: Broadcast messages are efficiently directed to nodes of an overlay network. Broadcast messages include an End ID parameter specifying the range of key values for nodes that should receive the broadcast message. Each node of an overlay network maintains a list of finger nodes and their respective key values. Upon receiving a broadcast message, a node assigns a finger node a new End ID value based upon the End ID value of the broadcast message or the key value of an adjacent finger node. The node compares a finger node's new End ID value with the finger node's key value to determine whether to forward the broadcast message to that finger node. A broadcast message forwarded to a finger node includes an End ID parameter equal to the new End ID value determined for the finger node. Nodes can aggregate response messages from its finger nodes.

Abstract: To provide a controller stand device capable of stably standing any of two controllers having different thickness. A controller stand device has a pedestal having a support concave formed thereon, the support concave having a size large enough to accept the first controller inserted therein. The controller stand device has a support member to be pressed onto the external surface of the controller inserted in the support concave to thereby stand the controller. The support member is capable of moving between a first support position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the first controller when the first controller is inserted in the support concave and a second position in which the support member is pressed onto the external surface of the second controller when the second controller is inserted in the support concave.

Abstract: Based upon a detection voltage VL that develops between ISEN+ and ISEN? terminals, a current detection circuit detects a coil current IL that flows through an inductor. A measurement circuit is connected to an inductor, and measures an inductance value L and a DC resistance value RDC of the inductor in a calibration operation before normal operation of a DC/DC converter. Based upon the inductance value L and the DC resistance value RDC thus measured, the current detection circuit detects the coil current IL using the detection voltage VL.

Abstract: A first display control unit configured to display in a first display region a list of thumbnail images of image data on a display device. A direction receiving unit configured to acquire a selection by a user for the image data. A second display control unit configured to display a list of one or more thumbnail images of image data that have been selected by the user in a second display region, which is displayed simultaneously with but in a different region from the first display region on the display device where the thumbnail images to be displayed by the first display control unit are displayed. Herein, the first display control unit acquires the selection by the user from the direction receiving unit and displays, on the display device, the one or more thumbnail images of the image data that have been selected by the user and thumbnail images of the image data that have not been selected by the user, in different display modes.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for preparing to prefetch memory in 3D graphical shader programs. Based on the memory addresses of texels from a texture map that were previously read, a memory address of a to-be-read texel is estimated by using a first-order derivative of the memory address with respect to pixel distance. The estimated memory address is then prefetched for use when the pixel corresponding to the texel is rendered. Whether or not to perform the estimation of the texel memory address can be determined by whether the corresponding pixels are on the same, flat facet on a 3D model. Multiple directions on the facet can be used for memory address estimation as well as higher-order derivatives.

Abstract: In a data transfer system, when transferring data which has been transferred to a storage in a PC, to a mobile terminal connected to the PC, the PC acquires the file format of the data and the file format which can be processed by the mobile terminal and determines whether the conversion of the file format is necessary. When the conversion of the file format is necessary, the PC issues a request for a conversion to a format converter. The format converter acquires data from the PC and transfers the data back to the PC while performing conversion. The PC transfers the converted data to the mobile terminal.

Abstract: Provided is an information processing system capable of reflecting the relationship between users, which has been established by exchanging data between information processing terminals, to an information processing device. A first information processing terminal receives identification data which identifies a user who operates a second information processing terminal from the second information processing terminal. The first information processing terminal transmits, to an information processing device, identification data which identifies a user who operates the first information processing terminal and the identification data which identifies the user who operates the second information processing terminal in association with each other. The information processing device associates, based on the received identification data, the user who operates the first information processing terminal and the user who operates the second information processing terminal.

Abstract: A game device includes: a screen image generating unit that generates and displays an image of a golf course, a landing point control unit that displays a marker indicating a predicted landing point of a ball, and a shot control unit operative to control a shot. Upon receiving an input instruction for moving the position of the marker, the landing point control unit moves the position of the marker by, changing the azimuth angle of the marker in a continuous manner along with a movement of an indicated position and by changing the radius of the marker discretely, when the position of the marker is represented by a two-dimensional polar coordinate system of which the origin point is a current ball position.

Abstract: A color determination unit determines color information of a light-emitting body of an input device. A transmitter unit communicates the determined color information to the input device. A recording unit records a history of the color information determined by the color determination unit. A color candidate determination unit determines one or more candidates of emitted color of the light-emitting body, using the color information recorded in the recording unit. An acknowledging unit acknowledges from the user a command to determine a candidate of emitted light, and the color determination unit determines the color information of the light-emitting body accordingly.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems, are described for tracking a video game player's head under different ambient lighting conditions and switching between tracking techniques as lighting conditions change.
