Abstract: An image processing apparatus provided with a display unit for displaying an operation picture, showing control indicia (e.g., icons) corresponding to multiple image processing functions, is operated to display the operation picture on an external display device. The operator selects one of the indicia shown on the external display device by operating an input device, such as touch screen of the apparatus or a remote control, to indicate the position of the desired one of the indicia. The operator can thereby quickly and reliably select an image processing function to be executed, without any need to view an operation picture on the display unit when making the selection.

Abstract: A pneumatic tire (10) is provided with turbulence generating projections (100) extending in a tire radial direction and arranged in the tire side portion (30) located between the tread (20) and beads. If the length of each turbulence generating projection (100) in the radial direction of the tire is L, the Young's modulus of the material which forms the turbulence generating projection (100) is E, and the second moment of area of a cross section of the turbulence generating projection (100) taken perpendicularly to the extending direction of the projection is I, the turbulence generating projections (100) satisfy the relationship of L2?3.5×E×I. The configuration assures the effect of heat dissipation of the tire side portion and minimizes deformation of the turbulence generating projections caused by oil flying from the outside.

Abstract: An image playback apparatus and in image recording apparatus are designed to permit image playback from a selected position in an image file recorded to a directly accessible memory, such as a magnetic disk. During recording of an image file, the user can designate one or more candidate playback start positions in the file, and corresponding pointers are stored as part of the image file. When the file is to be played back, the playback apparatus accesses the pointer(s) and allows the user to select playback from the corresponding position(s) in the image file. Also the playback apparatus can rewrite pointers in an image file, whereby the user can designate candidate starting positions for future playback of the file.
