Abstract: A video content creating apparatus includes a computer. The computer registers photographic image data input from a photographic input device and meta-information set in relation to the data in a database. After retrieving photographs based on the meta-information, the apparatus selects the photographs to be used for a reminiscence video and decides the reproduction order of the photographs. After registering a BGM playlist, the apparatus reproduces the photographs and BGM for creating the reminiscence video. If there are any regions, the apparatus displays the regions on a monitor while aligning them in sequence according to the meta-information on them. Upon completion of generation (rendering) of a series of reminiscence video contents, the apparatus creates the reminiscence video by saving the rendering results in Flash movie format, for example.

Abstract: A method of formation of a coating film on the surface of a cylindrical base material such as a piston wherein a waste of the lubricant coating solution is prevented and a lubrication action is maintained. A cylindrical base material is rotably supported horizontally on a rotating support device and in rotation, a coating solution is supplied to a coating surface, and a coating film is coated on the surface of the cylindrical base material. A coating former equipped with a blade is inclined at an angle of 20° to 80° with respect to a tangential direction of rotation, the blade is separated from the coating surface by exactly a coating layer thickness, and further the cylindrical base material is rotated by ¼ of a turn or more.

Abstract: There is disclosed a tongue depressor which has a light function to visually examine or clean the inside of a mouth easily and effectively, and which can be operated even by one hand, and light deep teeth or a throat part without any reductions in the amount of a light. Because of a structure in which a hole is bored in the main body of the tongue depressor, and a lighting fixture such as a commercially available penlight can be inserted/pulled out, two functions, i.e., a tongue depressor and lighting, can be provided. A shape is simple, fabrication costs are low, and sanitary supervision is easy. Since the tongue depressor can be operated by one hand, mouth cleaning can be carried out by the other hand.
