Abstract: A specific point detection system includes an imager that acquires an image of an object W, a first detector that detects, using a first detection model learned by machine learning, a burr B included in the object W by taking the image acquired by the imager as input, a three-dimensional scanner that acquires three-dimensional information on the object W including the burr B detected by the first detector, and a second detector that re-detects, using a second detection model learned by machine learning, the burr B by taking the three-dimensional information acquired by the three-dimensional scanner as input.

Abstract: A method for producing a compound represented by the formula (X): or a salt thereof and has a MALT1 inhibitory action, the said method containing a step for producing a compound a compound represented by the formula (B-2): or a salt thereof and being characterized by comprising crystallizing a salt of a compound represented by the formula (B-1) and an optically active organic acid. (In the formulae, each symbol is as defined in the specification.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a start-up process performed when information is read from a hybrid disc in which two or more recording layers of different formats are integrally formed, a recording layer is limited to a specific recording layer of the hybrid disc, settings in a start-up state are changed to make it possible to execute the start-up process to read information recorded on the limited recording layer, and in the changed start-up process, information is read from the specific layer of the hybrid disc by an interface conforming to ATAPI, and a start-up time required to display or reproduce a read output is reduced.

Abstract: A program controller decides extension of a broadcast time of the program content according to program information, calculates the total program time period including the extension time period, calculates an optimum recording rate from the total program time period and the recording capacity, sets the recording rate of new contents in an MPEG2 encoder, and sets the recording rate of rerecorded contents in a recompressing processor. The recompressing processor receives a playback stream from the already recorded contents through a media recording unit, recompresses it and creates a rerecording stream at a lowered recording rate. It also receives the new recording stream from the MPEG2 encoder. It sends these two recording streams alternately to the media-recording unit, thereby recording the rerecording stream and new recording stream alternately.

Abstract: Rotation of a capstan motor is detected by a frequency detector, and supplied to a CPU as a rotation detection signal CFG. The CPU derives a period of the rotation detection signal CFG, calculates an average rotational speed of the capstan motor on the basis of the derived period, derives an attenuation value of the rotational speed on the basis of the calculated average speed, and thereby sets a braking time interval. As a result, calculation of the braking time using a highly accurate zero point detection with a frequency detector of one system becomes possible. The apparatus scale can be reduced.
