Abstract: Remote control data is securely transmitted to a device under control. A remote control device transmits an acknowledge request for A ch to the device under control (S21). When the device under control has assigned A ch as the reception channel, acknowledge ACK is received. A ch is assigned as the transmission channel (S23), and a command frame is transmitted through A ch (S24). When acknowledge ACK has not been received, an acknowledge request for B ch is transmitted to the device under control (S25). When the device under control has assigned B ch as the reception channel, acknowledge ACK is received. B ch is assigned as the transmission channel (S27), and a command frame is transmitted through B ch (S28). The remote control device can transmits a command through a channel through which the device under control can receive the command, so that secure remote control can be accomplished.

Abstract: As the results of mass sequencing of cDNA clones originating in barley varieties “H. spontaneum”, “Haruna Nijo” and “Akashinriki”, a large number of sites showing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among the varieties are found out. Because of involving nonsynonymous substitutions and likely relating to phenotypes inherent in respective varieties, these SNPs are usable for various purposes, for example, genetically distinguishing a variety, isolating a gene, producing/selecting a novel transformant and so on.

Abstract: In a digital platform apparatus of the present invention, a position of a camera mounted on a screen in a display unit is detected by a position detection unit, and image data is transferred from the camera via a communication unit in accordance with a predetermined instruction operation. The transferred image data is supplied from a control unit to a projector via a display control unit. When the image data is transferred, the transferred image is displayed on the screen from the projector. All image data recorded in the camera is displayed in a demagnified form in the vicinity of the camera, and when image data specified by a predetermined operation is transferred into a recording area, a demagnified image of the transferred image data is displayed in the vicinity of the recording area.

Abstract: A connector for a jack includes four contacts of first, second, third and fourth contacts each having a contact portion and a connection portion, and a housing, to exchange signals and to ascertain whether a plug connector has been inserted into the connector. The third contact substantially U-shaped in cross-section includes a contact piece having a first contact part adapted to contact the plug connector, and a spring piece having an elasticity facing to the contact piece and provided by forming a U-shaped slit in a part of the third contact at a location opposite to the contact piece. When the plug connector is inserted into the connector, the plug connector pushes the first contact part of the contact piece to cause the contact piece to be displaced to the spring piece so that the contact piece pushes the spring piece to cause the spring piece to be displaced toward the housing and at the same time the spring piece pushes the contact piece with each other with the aid of its elasticity.
