Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a display which is capable of displaying a display area thereon, and the display area is associated with a running program and is either active or inactive. The information processing apparatus also comprises a first user interface to detect an event representing a request to adjust a sizing of content displayed within the display area, a second user interface to receive data indicating a position of a pointer when the first user interface detects the event, and a control unit configured to adjust the sizing of the content in response to detection of the event by the first user interface in the case that the pointer's position that the second user interface receives is in the display area, regardless of whether the display area is active or inactive.

Abstract: At a base station apparatus, known pilot signals for use in channel estimation are transmitted, and in addition thereto MCS pilot signals that are used to perform adaptive modulations respectively corresponding to a plurality of modulation schemes are multiplexed and output. A mobile station apparatus dispreads the respective MCS signals out of the multiplex signal, compares these to known symbols patterns, and sends the MCS pilot signals that show a matching relationship to the base station apparatus as a mobile station reception result. Upon receiving the mobile station reception result from the mobile station apparatus, the base station apparatus selects the modulation scheme of the optimum modulation level for the downlink signals. This configuration makes it possible to switch the modulation schemes in an accurate and simple way.

Abstract: An electromagnetic control valve has a passage for conducting fluid. An electromagnetic actuator generates an electromagnetic force. A main valve body opens and closes the passage in accordance with the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator. A bypass is formed in the main valve body. A sub valve body opens and closes the bypass in accordance with the electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator. The electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic actuator is adjusted such that the sub valve body is opened and closed while the main valve body closes the passage.

Abstract: To prevent deterioration of the reception characteristic of communication partner station without increasing the circuit scale of the radio apparatus. Amplitude of a transmission signal subjected to inverse equalization processing by an inverse equalization processor 104 that provides a characteristic, which is opposite to a distortion characteristic on the radio propagation path received at a signal receiving time, with respect to the transmission signal is controlled based on any one of a square sum of all tap coefficient values of a digital filter, which is a channel estimation value, a square root of square sum, or a sum of absolute values.
