Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a first detector configured to detect an elapsed time after starting to shoot an image in a specific shooting mode for shooting the image by moving the imaging apparatus in a predetermined shooting direction, a second detector configured to detect amount of movement of the imaging apparatus, and a controller configured to control display of a display unit to display, in the specific shooting mode, a first indicator fixedly positioned on the display unit and a second indicator movably positioned on the display unit. The controller decides a first amount of movement in the predetermined shooting direction according to the detected elapsed time and a second amount of movement in an opposite direction according to the detected amount of movement of the imaging apparatus, and controls a display position of the second indicator based on the first and second amounts of movement.

Abstract: An object of a reproducing apparatus according to the present invention is to solve a problem in that, when video data and music data of BGM are played simultaneously as they are, one of them is finished while the other is still playing, and accordingly, this does not provide an effect of sufficiently satisfying the user even though the BGM is inserted. The reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes a recording medium capable of storing one or a plurality of video data, a network communication section for receiving, from a music server via a network, music-reproduction data having a reproduction time of almost the same length as a reproduction time of the video data stored in the recording medium, and a reproduction control section for simultaneously reproducing the music-reproduction data received by the network communication section and the video data stored in the recording medium.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing ferrite crystals such as single crystal bodies and polycrystal bodies with garnet structure is disclosed, which includes the steps of effecting a composition controlling for raw powders, forming raw powders, sintering formed bodies and effecting hot isostatic press treatment for sintered bodies. Also, a method of producing ferrite powders preferably used for the ferrite crystal manufacturing method mentioned above.The thus obtained ferrite crystal bodies with garnet structure show good magnetooptical properties such as light transmissivity, Faraday rotation angle and Verdet constant, and are preferably used for magnetooptical elements such as optical isolators and optical magnetic field sensors etc.

Abstract: A high sensitivity optomagnetical sensor comprising a light source, a magnetic field-detecting section, a light-receiving section for receiving light emitted from the light source through the magnetic field-detecting section, a measurement-controlling section for controlling the light source, the magnetic field-detecting section, and the light-receiving section, and for measuring an intensity of light received by the light-receiving section, and light transmission paths using optical fibers for optically connecting the light-source section and the magnetic field-detecting section and optically connecting the magnetic field-detecting section and the light-receiving section. The magnetic field-detecting section is constituted by a polarizer, an analyzer and a magnetooptical element arranged between the polarizer and the analyzer. A garnet type ferrite polycrystal is used as a magnetooptical element of the sensor. The ferrite polycrystal has a Verdet constant of not less than 1 deg/cm.
