Abstract: In digital broadcast recording for automatically recording broadcasts on a channel selected from a plurality of digital broadcast programs on a recording medium, in accordance with a booking that is performed by specifying a time zone and giving a command to record a stream of broadcast contents on the user-selected channel during the time zone, the stream of broadcast contents on the channel is recorded, separated into a plurality of units for the programs broadcasted during the time zone. Thus, the recorded stream can be handled program by program in a later editing or playback operation, despite that it was recorded by booked recording for which only the time zone was specified, and thus the user-friendliness is improved.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a novel ?-conjugated polymer compound capable of expecting an application as a functional material having a solubility, a heat resistance, an electrochemical activity and a fluorescence, and a method for producing the same. A dihalide is represented by the following formula: (wherein R1 represents a halogen, R2 represents an alkyl group or a silyl group having a substituent, and R3 represents a hydrogen or an alkyl group).

Abstract: A method for producing a polymerized hydrocarbon includes a step of a dehalogenation of a halogenated hydrocarbon with a magnesium-diene complex. Low-molecular-weight compounds, such as dimers or trimers of hydrocarbon units, oligomers of hydrocarbon units, or polymers of hydrocarbon units can be produced by this method while generating significantly less odor.
