Abstract: A video recording apparatus includes an illumination apparatus applying a modulated illumination light, a control apparatus controlling the illumination apparatus, an imaging apparatus imaging the illumination light and an object at the same time to generate video data; and a storage apparatus storing the video data generated by the imaging apparatus. The control apparatus generates encrypted data by using at least a portion of the video data imaged by the imaging apparatus and encryption information generated as information changing in accordance with a date and time and used for encryption and controls the illumination apparatus such that the illumination light is modulated by the generated encrypted data.

Abstract: A grafting apparatus includes plate-shaped grafting members each provided with, on a main surface on one side in a thickness direction thereof, at least one plant holder to hold a plant for grafting. The grafting apparatus includes a cutter and a joiner. The cutter is configured to cut a stem of the plant for grafting that is held by the at least one plant holder of each of the grafting members. The joiner is configured to mutually join at least parts of the grafting members, while the at least one plant holder holds a part of the plant for grafting that has been cut by the cutter, to thereby mutually join parts of the plants for grafting.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an input device mounted on a moving body, comprising: an input unit that accepts input information containing character strings and correction information containing one or more characters; a degree-of-similarity calculation unit that edits character strings of the input information using the one or more characters of the correction information, to calculate degrees of similarity between character strings of the input information before and after editing; and a correction processing unit that corrects a character string of the input information based on the degrees of similarity calculated by the degree-of-similarity calculation unit.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus accesses to a plurality of databases. The information processing apparatus accesses one of the plurality of databases, and based on an access result, accesses another one of the plurality of databases.

Abstract: A system for detecting a sound generation position includes three or more first sound acquisition units and a position detector. The three or more first sound acquisition units acquire a sound of a sound event generated around a first mobile object, and are disposed in positions spaced apart from each other in the mobile object, respectively. The position detector detects a direction or a position where the sound event occurs, based on the difference between acquisition times at which the sound is acquired at the three or more first sound acquisition units.

Abstract: A component that may not function properly when being removed from a case can be easily attached to the case and can be prevented from being removed from the case. When a substantially cylindrical inner tube is inserted into a case, a substantially cylindrical receiving part provided with claws is inserted along the inner tube, and the claws lock into the hole. When a filter element is inserted into the case, the inner tube is inserted along the inner peripheral surface of a filtration material, and an end member is inserted along a receiving part.

Abstract: There is provided an operation device including a main body that has a top surface on which an operation unit is provided, and an opening/closing member that is provided to be openable and closable with respect to the top surface of the main body, around a rotation axis positioned in an edge portion of a first side of the main body. When the opening/closing member is opened, the main body is pushed up by abutment of at least a part of the opening/closing member and a placement surface. A thickness of the main body is reduced from the first side toward a second side opposite to the first side.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a function expanding apparatus, including: a mounting base section adapted to receive an information processing apparatus placed thereon solely or together with a battery mounted on a bottom face of the information processing apparatus; and a first connector movable in response to presence or absence of the battery until the first connector is connected to the information processing apparatus.

Abstract: Disclosed is an upper nozzle/plate integral unit comprising an upper nozzle and an upper plate integrated together, which is capable of being easily split into the upper nozzle and the upper plate after use, while adequately maintaining a thickness of a joint between the upper nozzle and the upper plate during use. A metal casing 4 is bent inwardly along an outer peripheral surface of a lower end portion of an alumina carbon-based refractory body of the upper nozzle 1 to form a metal member. The metal member formed by bending the metal casing 4 inwardly has a length of 15 mm. A gap between the metal casing and the refractory body is filled with mortar having a thickness of about 0.5 mm. A recess 11 of the lower end portion of the upper nozzle 1 is fitted onto a raised portion 21 of the upper plate 2 through mortar, and the metal casing 4 of the upper nozzle 1 is in contact with a metal casing of the upper plate 2.
