Abstract: A nickel alloy having superior surface properties by controlling the composition of non-metallic inclusions that affect surface properties, and a method for producing the same. A nickel alloy includes: all by mass %, Ni: 99.0% or more, C: 0.020% or less, Si: 0.01 to 0.3%, Mn: 0.3% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Cu: 0.2% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.1%, Fe: 0.4% or less, O: 0.0001 to 0.0050% or less, Mg: 0.001 to 0.030%, Ca: 0.0001 to 0.0050%, B: 0.0001 to 0.01%, and the balance of inevitable impurities; the alloy including non-metallic inclusions, in which the non-metallic inclusions include one or more of MgO, CaO, CaO—Al2O3-based oxides, CaO—SiO2-based oxides, CaO—MgO-based oxides, and MgO·Al2O3, the MgO·Al2O3 has a number ratio of number 50% or less with respect to all oxide-based, non-metallic inclusions.

Abstract: A state information acquisition unit acquires state information indicating a state of a body, an information search unit searches for information on the state information from a content information storage unit that stores text information regarding broadcast content, and an output unit outputs information searched for by the information search unit.

Abstract: [Object] To make it possible to remotely check a condition of a monitored person in detail without using monitoring sensors. [Solution] In a user condition checking system 1, a connection terminal device 30 is connected to a television device 10 operated by a user, so as to enable communication with a server device 2. The communication terminal device 3 acquires a user operation state output from the television device 10. Upon acquisition of the user operation state, the communication terminal device 30 outputs, to the television device 10, screen information corresponding to a question screen or the like to be displayed on the television device 10. The communication terminal device 30 acquires a user's answering state for the displayed question screen or the like and transmits the user's answering state to the server device 2. In this way, the server device 2 can check the condition of the monitored person in detail.

Abstract: In order to remotely confirm a state of monitored person without using monitoring sensors, a user state confirmation system (1) communicatively connects a television device (10) (with communication function) used by the user on a day-to-day basis, to a server device (2) providing a watching service. Based on a power-on operation by the user, the television device (10) transmits the power-on information to the server device (2), and the server device (2) stores the received power-on information together with date and time of the reception. Further, based on the power-on operation, the television device (10) displays a question page, and transmits information indicating the answer from the user to the server device (2), and the server device (2) stores the information indicating the answer from the user together with the date and time of reception. The state of monitored person can be confirmed by referring to various types of information stored in the server device (2).

Abstract: A television (100) includes: a receiving section (202) for receiving additional information which is added to and transmitted along with a broadcast content; a processing section (222) for processing additional information so that a mobile device (120) can obtain information that is specific to unique information which the television (100) has; and a transmitting section (224) for transmitting processed additional information.
