Abstract: A data recording/reproducing device for recording data on a recordable area of a recording medium in an arbitrary recording unit, includes a control unit that controls the operation of the data recording/reproducing device. The control unit designates a recording unit where data on the recordable area is not recorded as a non-use area, determines whether data has been recorded, or unrecorded in the recording unit on the recordable area, determines the recording unit designated as the non-use area to have been recorded, and records data in the recording unit determined to be unrecorded when data is recorded on the recording medium, under the control.

Abstract: A press machine includes a lifting mechanism that selectively lowers and lifts a die on a movable side. The lifting mechanism includes a motor driven lifting unit using a servomotor as a drive source thereof, and a hydraulically driven lifting unit using a hydraulic actuator as a drive source thereof. The lifting mechanism is controlled so as to enable the motor driven lifting unit to move the die on the movable side from a standby position to a drive system changeover position immediately before a press start position at which the die on the movable side starts contacting a workpiece to be processed and so as to enable the hydraulically driven lifting unit to move the die on the movable side from the drive system changeover position to a top dead center position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to recording and reproducing methods, recording and reproducing apparatuses, and a recording medium. In conventional techniques, even when recorded program contents are 3D-(stereoscopic view)-corresponding contents or non-3D-corresponding contents, there has been no means to easily distinguish the difference therebetween. Furthermore, there has been a problem that a virtual play list in which 3D contents and non-3D contents are mixed is unintentionally generated. In the present invention, the above described problems are solved by recording a 3D flag in a play list file. Furthermore, upon generation of a virtual play list, the set value of the recorded 3D flag is obtained, and whether 3D contents and non-3D contents are mixed or not is checked, thereby solving the problems.

Abstract: Signals outputted from an I/O buffer with a parallel drive configuration are stabilized for reliability enhancement. Each I/O cell has a complementary I/O cell that outputs one output signal as a complementary signal made up of a non-inverted signal and an inverted signal. Two I/O cells are coupled in parallel. Output portions of first inverters are coupled together through a first wiring; and output portions of second inverters are coupled together through a second wiring. The first wiring is formed on the lower side of the I/O cells so that it is astride the two I/O cells, and the second wiring is formed above the first wiring so that it is astride the two I/O cells. The wirings are laid out so that the wiring length of the first wiring and the wiring length of the second wiring are substantially equal to each other.
