Abstract: An apparatus, a content retrieval method and a program facilitate recognizing content details of a moving image by displaying a retrieval result for each of a plurality of images. A metadata extracting unit extracts metadata of a representative image from content supplied from a content input unit and stores the metadata in a metadata database. An image feature quantity extracting unit extracts image feature quantity from content and stores it in an image feature quantity database while extracting image feature quantity from a retrieval image. A retrieving unit compares the image feature quantity of the retrieval image with the image feature quantity stored in the image feature quantity database and specifies a still image which is similar to the retrieval image. An output unit reads metadata of the content, generates display data necessary for performing timeline displaying, and generates display data for displaying a retrieval result on a timeline.

Abstract: A management information generating method wherein logical and physical block addresses (BAs) of continuous addresses are associated with each other in the BA translation table. When a logical block is constructed, a value is set for a maximum number of allowable defective physical blocks. A logical block having fewer defects than the set number is set usable, and a logical block having more defects than the set number is set unusable. System logical block construction is performed to preferentially select physical blocks from a plane list including a large number of usable blocks to equalize the number of usable blocks in each plane list. It is determined whether the number of free blocks is insufficient on the basis of a first management unit and whether the storage area for the indicated capacity can be reserved on the basis of the management unit different from the first unit.

Abstract: In an image display apparatus, a protruding portion is fixed to a chassis on a back side Z2 of a planar member and protrudes towards the planar member. The protruding portion has one or more first protruding members and one or more second protruding members and defines a small allowance region and a large allowance region for the planar member. In the small allowance region, an amount of displacement of the planar member towards the chassis side is regulated at most to a first predetermined value by the one or more first protruding members. In the large allowance region, an amount of displacement of the planar member towards the chassis side is regulated at most to a second predetermined value larger than the first predetermined value by the one or more second protruding member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a FAST (Flexible Accelerated STOP TetO-knockin) system, an efficient method for manipulating gene expression in vivo to rapidly screen animal models of disease. This invention further discloses a single gene targeting event yielding 2 distinct knockin mice—STOP-tetO and tetO knockin—which permit generation of multiple strains with variable expression patterns: 1) knockout, 2) Cre-mediated rescue; 3) tTA-mediated misexpression; 4) tTA-mediated overexpression; and 5) tTS-mediated conditional knockout/knockdown. Using the FAST system, multiple gain- and loss-of-function strains can therefore be generated on a timescale not previously achievable. These strains can then be screened for clinically-relevant abnormalities. The flexibility and broad applicability of the FAST system is demonstrated by targeting several genes encoding proteins implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders: Mlc1, Neuroligin 3, the serotonin 1A receptor, and the serotonin 1B receptor.
