Abstract: An information processing method for an information processing apparatus to process content data, including generating content data information associated with content data; and registering information associated with the content data generated in the content data information generation step, in an edit list indicating a result of editing of the content data. The apparatus makes it possible to manage a large number of image data in the form of an editing result and easily manage a large number of image data having complicated relationships. A clip data detector of an editing apparatus detects clip data including image data and audio data supplied from the outside. The clip data detector extracts meta data associated with detected clip data and supplies it to a sub clip processing unit. A sub clip information generator of the sub clip processing unit generates sub clip information based on the meta data and supplies the generated sub clip information to a sub clip information registration unit.

Abstract: Controlling for obtaining the aimed strip shape using a rolling mill provided with rolls, which are variable in amount of crown by feeding a pressurized oil in the inside. In addition, the rolling mill is provided with right and left pressing-down balancers and roll benders. The strip shape in the width direction of the strip is detected, the detected shape being approximated by a function including terms of the first, second, fourth, sixth or eighth power of a variable, which is a position or a distance in the width direction of the strip, the amount of pressing-down of the right and left pressing-down balancers being adjusted to coincide the term of the first power with the aimed value thereof, the amount of crown of the roll being adjusted to coincide the term of the second power with the aimed value thereof, and a roll bending force being adjusted to coincide the term of the fourth, sixth or eighth power with the aimed value thereof.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method of controlling mill-motor speed in a cold tandem mill. During unsteady phases of rolling operation such as threading, rolling speed acceleration and/or deceleration, and tail out with respect to the coil being rolled, mill motors are so controlled as not to perform drooping characteristic action except under certain specific conditions, and at threading phase in particular, motors in individual stands are so controlled as to revolve at a uniformly decreased speed, whereby final gauge control accuracy can be improved with respect to top and bottom end portions of the coil and such troubles as coil cut and the like can be effectively prevented.

Abstract: In a rolling mill for rolling a strip, a method for equalizing the thickness of the strip over the entire length thereof, in which a deviation in the thickness of the strip on the entrance side of the rolling mill is measured by sampling for each predetermined time period (.DELTA.t) which is equal to or smaller than 1/5 of the period of the cut-off frequency of a screw down position control device and/or a tension adjusting device of the rolling mill and is stored in a memory, and a control signal is generated using two or more of the stored measured sampled values for each time period .DELTA.t, whereby the screw down position control device and/or the tension adjustment device are controlled using the generated control signal.

Abstract: There is disclosed a method of controlling inter-stand tension in rolling mills in which a tension measuring device is provided on each stand. The tension measuring device comprises a pair of load sensing devices provided respectively at the entry and delivery sides of the roll stand. Difference between outputs from the pair of load sensing devices is used as an output value of the tension measuring device. First, while a workpiece is captured by the second stand but is not yet captured by the third stand and when the tension in the workpiece between the first and second stands is consistent with a desired value, the output value from the tension measuring device of the second stand is stored. After the workpiece has been captured by the third stand, the difference between the stored output value and the output value from the tension measuring device of the second stand is used as the measured value of tension.
