Abstract: An aluminum alloy brazing sheet including a core material, a sacrificial material provided on one surface of the core material, a brazing filler material provided on the other surface side of the core material, and an intermediate layer provided between the core material and the brazing filler material. The core material contains Si: 0.30 to 1.00 mass %, Mn: 0.50 to 2.00 mass %, Cu: 0.60 to 1.20 mass %, Mg: 0.05 to 0.80 mass %, and Al. The sacrificial material contains Si: 0.10 to 1.20 mass %, Zn: 2.00 to 7.00 mass %, Mn: 0.40 mass % or less, and Al. The intermediate layer contains Si: 0.05 to 1.20 mass %, Mn: 0.50 to 2.00 mass %, Cu: 0.10 to 1.20 mass %, and Al.

Abstract: The information processing apparatus includes a pointing stick which is disposed on a keyboard, has an operable stick and is possible to detect a displacement in an installation plane direction of the stick and a displacement in a direction which is vertical to the installation plane and a main control unit which displays a predetermined menu screen on a display unit in a case where the pointing stick detects a specific operation which includes the displacement of the stick in the vertical direction.

Abstract: A general-purpose computer cross-authenticates an external storage medium which is detachably loaded in the general-purpose computer, directly storing copyrighted data from its internal storage means into the loaded external storage medium. An HDD, an internal storage means of the general-purpose computer, holds such data protected by copyright as music data. A memory card driver directly cross-authenticates a memory card, which is an external storage medium, and, upon successful cross-authentication, controls the memory card so that it stores the data from the HDD.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus having a processor is disclosed. The apparatus includes power monitoring means for monitoring power consumed by the information processing apparatus. The power monitoring means further outputs a power limit request demanding a limit to the power when the power being monitored exceeds a predetermined threshold. The apparatus also includes first setting means for setting a first control for limiting an availability factor of the processor as a limit to the power when the power monitoring means outputs the power limit request; second setting means for setting a second control for limiting the availability factor of the processor as a limit to the power when the power monitoring means outputs the power limit request; first controlling means for executing the first control set by the first setting means; and second controlling means for executing the second control set by the second setting means.
