Abstract: A polyarylate resin includes repeating units represented by formulas (1), (2), (3), and (4). A percentage of the number of repeats of the repeating unit represented by formula (3) relative to the total number of repeats of the respective repeating units represented by formulas (1) and (3) is greater than 0% and less than 20%. In formula (1), R1 and R2 each represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and X represents a divalent group represented by formula (X1) or (X2). In formula (2), W represents, a divalent group represented by formula (W1) or (W2).

Abstract: A formed body of Cu—Al—Mn-based shape-memory alloy may include a screw portion, wherein the screw portion is a form-rolled portion. A method for producing a formed body of Cu—Al—Mn-based shape-memory alloy may involve forming a screw portion having superelasticity by plastically working at least a portion of a material for the formed body with form-rolling in a state that a crystal structure is an A2-type structure and then, subjecting heat-treatment so as to convert the A2-type crystal structure into an L21-type crystal structure. The screw portion can be formed with good working property, and has excellent fatigue resistance and breaking resistance.

Abstract: A polyarylate resin includes repeating units represented by formulas (1), (2), and (4). The polyarylate resin further includes a repeating unit represented by formula (3) and a percentage of the number of repeats of the repeating unit represented by formula (3) relative to the total number of repeats of the respective repeating units represented by formulas (1) and (3) is greater than 0% and less than 50%. Or, the polyarylate resin does not include the repeating unit represented by formula (3). In formula (1), R1 and R2 each represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a methyl group and X represents a divalent group represented by formula (X1) or (X2). In formula (3), R5 and R6 each represent, independently of one another, a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.

Abstract: An information recording apparatus is provided with: a reserving device for specifying a channel, a recording start time point, and a recording end time point of a regular broadcast program which is regularly broadcasted (i.e.

Abstract: A data-related information acquiring device acquires data related information having a distribution information. The distribution is related to the distribution of data. A data identification device identifies first data of which first distribution time extends or contracts on the basis of the data related information and second data of which second distribution time is changed by the extension or contraction of the first distribution time of the first data. A distribution-state display controlling device controls display information, which suggests a change in each of the distribution times in addition to the distribution information of the first data and the second data.

Abstract: In a multilayer printed wiring board, a first electrode 20 and a second electrode 23 adjacent to said first electrode 20 are formed in an internal layer portion 11B of the waste substrate portion of the multilayer printed wiring board, and a first terminal portion electrically connected to the first electrode 20 and a second terminal portion electrically connected to the second electrode 23 are formed on an outer surface.

Abstract: When a request for retrieving digital content of a broadcast program, etc., recorded in a record section 5 is made through an operation section 11, information of an electronic program guide, etc., supplementary to the digital content is read from the record section 5 and is supplied to a video signal generation section 6. The video signal generation section 6 performs predetermined encode processing for the information of the electronic program guide, etc., and supplies to a monitor 8 for producing scroll display in the bottom portion of a display screen of the monitor 8 for use of retrieval, etc.

Abstract: A remote control apparatus is made up of a transceiver 1 for remotely controlling an electronic machine such as a television receiver 3 or a recorder 4 and a portable remote controller 2 for giving a remote control command to the transceiver 1. The transceiver 1 has section for extracting supplementary information of an electronic program guide, etc., from television broadcasts and the remote controller 2 has storage section for storing control information to remotely control electronic machines in such a manner that the control information can be updated and storage section for storing the supplementary information of an electronic program guide, etc., supplied from the transceiver 1 in such a manner that the supplementary information can be updated.
