Abstract: A video distribution system is provided with (i) a server that distributes a video including an animation of a character object generated based on motion of an actor and (ii) an information processing terminal in which an application for viewing the video is implemented and used by a viewing user who views the video. The server generates video data related to a video including the character object and a particular object that changes a display mode a plurality of times. The particular object is displayed in the video in a plurality of different display modes. The server transmits the video data to the information processing terminal, receives information about the activity of the viewing user from the information processing terminal, and changes the display mode of the particular object displayed in the video according to the activity of the viewing user.

Abstract: A file management apparatus displays an icon of a file where a shortcut on a cloud storage refers to the file within the cloud storage. A file management apparatus which is connected to a cloud storage on a cloud network via a network and which displays content of a folder within the cloud storage, displays an icon for directly opening a second file or a second folder in a first display region of the file management apparatus for showing content of a first folder in a case where a shortcut file stored in the first folder within the cloud storage is a shortcut file which refers to the second file or the second folder existing outside the first folder, and in which a link to the second file or the second folder is set as a link to a website.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to make confirmation of setting of a file folder on a cloud storage possible through more simple operation. A settings information display apparatus which displays settings information regarding a file folder stored in a cloud storage on a cloud network detects that the file folder in the cloud storage, which is displayed in a first display region of the settings information display apparatus, is selected, displays data stored in the selected file folder in a second display region of the settings information display apparatus and an icon, or the like, for displaying settings information regarding the selected file folder by being triggered by the detection, and displays the settings information regarding the selected file folder in a third display region of the settings information display apparatus by being triggered by the icon, or the like, being operated.

Abstract: An administrative server interconnects user terminals through the communication network and transmits voice and/or text information submitted and received between the user terminals to a storage device. The server records in the storage device the voice and/or text information together with identification information of the user terminals that have submitted said voice and/or text information. The server retrieves words that disobey morals in the voice and/or text information recorded in the storage device. The server records disobedient data which indicates disobedience in morals in registration data of the user who submitted the voice and/or text information retrieved by the retrieval and presents the disobedient voice and/or text information and the identification information of the user at the submitting side to an administrator control table of the administrative server.

Abstract: Movable reinforcing panels (31) are respectively formed with a plurality of serially-combined panel members (31a) disposed along bending lines of opening door panels (13, 14). The panel members (31a) are coupled together deformably with a ranging portion (33) for partially coupling together the end edge portions of the adjoining panel members (31a) and fitted to a fixing bracket (26) via coupling members (32). When an air bag starting to inflate presses any one of the panel members (31a) of the movable reinforcing panels (31) upward after an air bag system is operated, regions corresponding to the movable reinforcing panels (31) of the door panels (13, 14) are deformed outward. Thus, tear seams (15, 16) situated closest to the deformed regions are first caused to partially rupture and then these tear seams (15, 16) are totally ruptured.

Abstract: Movable reinforcing panels 31 are respectively formed with a plurality of serially-combined panel members 31a disposed along bending lines of opening door panels 13 and 14. The panel members 31a are coupled together deformably with a ranging portion 33 for partially coupling together the end edge portions of the adjoining panel members 31a and fitted to a fixing bracket 26 via coupling members 32. When an air bag starting to inflate presses anyone of the panel members 31a of the movable reinforcing panels 31 upward after an air bag system is operated, regions corresponding to the movable reinforcing panels 31 of the door panels 13 and 14 are deformed outward. Thus, tear seams 15 and 16 situated closest to the deformed regions are first caused to partially rupture and then these tear seams 15 and 16 are totally ruptured.

Abstract: The present method is to produce an active material powder formed of a spinel oxide containing lithium or a layer-structured oxide containing lithium for a lithium secondary battery which is uniform in composition, fine in particle size and free of oxygen defects, and which is unlikely to cause capacity deterioration resulted from repetitive charge/discharge cycles at a high current density.A suspension 1 prepared by suspending an ingredient of the active material powder in a combustible liquid or an emulsion prepared by emulsifying a solution of the ingredient in the combustible liquid is sprayed in a droplet state 15 together with an oxygenic gas 2. The combustible liquid contained in the droplet 15 is burned to have the ingredient therein reacted and to evaporate the solvent. As a result, active material powder 4 formed of the spinel oxide containing lithium is obtained.

Abstract: Modified TCF in which one or more amino-acid residues of the wild type TCF responsible for glycosylation are substituted or deleted so that at least one N-linked oligosaccharide chain is removed. The modified TCFs have a longer biological half-lives without loss of their biological activities. The modified TCFs are therapeutically important as agents for liver diseases or as anti-cancer drugs.
