Abstract: A display control apparatus for controlling display of a display device that a user can wear acquires speech collected by a plurality of microphones, estimates a sound-arrival direction of the acquired speech, and generates a text image corresponding to the acquired speech. The display control apparatus determines an adjustment amount of a display position of the text image on the display unit of the display device based on a detection result of at least one of an operation by the user and a state of the display device. Then, the display control apparatus displays the generated text image at a display position in the display unit, the display position being determined in accordance with the estimated sound-arrival direction and the determined adjustment amount.

Abstract: A display control apparatus for controlling display of a display device acquires speech collected by a plurality of microphones and estimates a sound-arrival direction of the acquired speech. Then, the display control apparatus causes a text image corresponding to the acquired speech to be displayed in a predetermined text display area in a display unit of the display device, and causes a symbol image associated with the text image to be displayed at a display position in the display unit, the display position corresponding to the estimated sound-arrival direction.

Abstract: To provide a pharmaceutical composition comprising a ceramide-related substance having little adverse side effects as an active ingredient by using a raw material that is highly safe to a human body and is inexpensive. A pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one sphingoglycolipid derivative that is produced from a beer waste and is represented by the formula below as an active ingredient: wherein R3 represents H or OH; R4 is as defined by (a) or (b) (a) when R3 is H, R4 represents (CH2)13CH3 or (CH2)6CH?CHCH2CH?CH(CH2)4CH3; and (b) when R3 is OH, R4 represents (CH2)yCH3 (where Y represents an integer of 13 to 21) or (CH2)Z1CH?CH(CH2)Z2CH3 (where Z1 and Z2 independently represent 0 or a natural number, provided that Z1+Z2=19).

Abstract: A conveying method for conveying green tires from storing devices, disposed near building machines, to curing machines and attaching them to the curing machines is disclosed wherein a green tire delivery demand signal is emitted, from a specific curing machine among a plurality of curing machines, to a control system which stores the corresponding relationships between the respective storing devices and the respective curing machines and the quantities and kinds of green tires stored in the storing devices. The control system which receives this demand signal sends a signal, indicating the curing machine which has emitted the demand signal and the corresponding specific storing device, to an automatic truck supporting and carrying thereon a mechanism which is capable of withdrawing a green tire from the storing device, having it suspended thereon, and loading it onto the curing machine.
