Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a storage unit, a cutting-out unit, and a display controller. The storage unit is configured to store an image of fluorescence emitted from an observation target area of a living body in a recording medium as a fluorescence image of the observation target area, the image of fluorescence being captured with a first definition, the image of fluorescence being obtained by applying excitation light to the observation target area to which a fluorescent reagent is added in advance. The cutting-out unit is configured to cause a user to select at least a partial area of the fluorescence image and to cut out the selected area as a fluorescence image of a ROI area. The display controller is configured to cause a display unit to display the fluorescence image of a ROI area with a second definition that is lower than the first definition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an optical receiver including: a light receiving element configured to have an anode and a cathode and generate a photocurrent dependent on received signal light; a current-voltage conversion circuit configured to be connected to the anode of the light receiving element and convert the photocurrent to a voltage signal; and a capacitive passive element configured to have a first electrode and a second electrode. The cathode of the light receiving element is connected to the first electrode of the capacitive passive element, and the second electrode of the capacitive passive element is connected to a reference potential of the current-voltage conversion circuit and the second electrode is not coupled to objects other than a reference potential terminal of the current-voltage conversion circuit.

Abstract: A common-key blockcipher processing structure that makes analysis of key more difficult and enhances security and implementation efficiency is realized. In a key scheduling part in an encryption processing apparatus that performs common-key blockcipher processing, a secret key is input to an encryption function including a round function employed in an encryption processing part to generate an intermediate key, and the result of performing bijective transformation based on the intermediate key, the secret key, and the like and the result of performing an exclusive-OR operation on the bijective-transformed data are applied to round keys. With this structure, generation of round keys based on the intermediate key generated using the encryption function whose security has been ensured is performed, thereby making it possible to make analysis of the keys more difficult. The structure of the key scheduling part can be simplified, thereby making it possible to improve the implementation efficiency.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes: a program distribution schedule information receiver configured to receive program distribution schedule information; a program-associated information acquirer configured to acquire, for each program listed in the program distribution schedule information, information for identifying content associated with the program and program-associated information including information for identifying a recording media to which the content is recorded; and a display controller configured to control displaying of a program guide by allocating a GUI (Graphical User Interface) for controlling a command for reproducing the content corresponding to the program into each display box of the program on the basis of the received program distribution schedule information and the acquired program-associated information.

Abstract: A clock signal generator can prevent unnecessary power consumption and can lower the power consumption of a system or a chip as a whole. A clock generator has a plurality of multipliers having variable multiplying factors and multiplying a single input reference clock signal by a designated multiplying factor. A plurality of frequency dividers have variable divide factors and divide a clock signal by a designated dividing factor. A clock selector selects a clock signal which has a required frequency according to a status signal STS from each of the functional locks from among the clock signals having a plurality of frequencies generated by the clock generator. The clock selectors stops the operation of the multipliers or the frequency dividers which are generating unused frequencies by switching clock signals.

Abstract: A blasting machining apparatus for blasting a workpiece by using fine abrasive particles. The blasting machining apparatus includes a first arm for supplying the workpiece onto a table provided in a blasting chamber and discharging the workpiece after being blasted out of the blasting chamber and a second arm for supplying the workpiece after being blasted and discharged out of the blasting chamber into a washing unit and discharging the work after being washed out of the washing unit. The first arm and the second arm are independent of each other. Accordingly, after washing the workpiece, washer liquid attached to the second arm does not fall into the blasting chamber, thereby ensuring stable blasting of the workpiece in the blasting chamber.
