Abstract: Provided is a sensor device including a sensor configured to output a vibration datum by detecting a change in a state of a vibration in a first object when a second object touches the first object, a holding section configured to hold, at a portion of the first object which is different from a portion where the second object touches, the sensor in a state where the vibration in the first object is transmitted, and a communication section configured to transmit the single vibration datum detected by the sensor to an analyzing device which identifies a touch position where the second object touches the first object by analyzing the vibration datum.

Abstract: An information processing system includes processing circuitry that is configured to receive input data from a shock sensor which outputs data based on a shock on the shock sensor, and identify a target segment of time-series data that is output from a motion sensor that senses a motion of an object. The target segment includes a pre-shock portion that occurs before the shock event and a post-shock portion that occurs after the shock event, the shock event is recognized based on the data from the shock sensor.

Abstract: The present technique relates particularly to an information processing device, an information processing method, and a program which can improve sleep efficiency. The information processing device according to one aspect of the present technique has: an acquisition unit which acquires information which indicates an action schedule of a user; and a first determination unit which determines whether the user needs to wake up or sleep, and determines the degree of necessity of waking up when determining that the user needs to wake up and the degree of necessity of sleeping when determining the user needs to sleep, according to the action schedule of the user. The present technique is applicable to a mobile device such as a mobile telephone, a PDA and a digital camera.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer are provided for improving a quality of the semiconductor wafer, and further, for improving a quality of a semiconductor device manufactured by using the semiconductor wafer, by preventing warping from being generated at a stage of a placing step, at the time of performing heat treatment to a semiconductor wafer substrate. The placing process is performed by a placing means so that a time when a temperature difference between a wafer front surface temperature and a wafer rear surface temperature becomes maximum, and a time when warping is generated in the wafer are prior to a time when the wafer is brought into contact with lift pins or a susceptor (i.e., a time after the temperature is at an upper limit value of an infrared temperature region at 600° C.), and the lift pins are brought into contact with the wafer rear surface.

The adsorbent material consists of a porous carrier material such as crosslinked polyacrylate resin beads and a crystalline hydrous zirconium oxide impregnating the pores of the carrier in the monoclinic or cubic crystal form.

Abstract: The tape printing apparatus 1 can perform recording on the large-width or small-width recording medium D2 or D1, furthermore, on the test recording medium D3 in accordance with the recording data. The control unit CP converts the data for the large-width recording medium to the test recording data able to be recorded on the test recording medium D3, and performs recording on the test recording medium D3 in accordance with the test recording data.

Abstract: An efficient method is proposed for the recovery of gold value contained in an aqueous solution even in a very low concentration of the ppb level. Namely, an aqueous acidic solution containing gold value in the form of complex gold anions, e.g., chloro complex anions of gold, is contacted with a solid ion exchanger which is prepared by the adsorption of a 2-hydroxyethyl tri(C.sub.8-12)alkyl ammonium halide on porous resin beads of a polymer of methacrylic acid ester so that the complex gold anions are adsorbed by the ion exchange reaction to form ion pairs with the quaternary ammonium cations. The thus adsorbed complex gold anions coupled with the quaternary ammonium cations can be eluted out of the adsorbent with an organic solvent such as alcohols and ketones in a quantitative yield of recovery.
