Abstract: An antibacterial member that maintains a high antibacterial property and a high osteoconductive property for a long duration is provided. The antibacterial member includes a DLC film (F-DLC film) 40 containing fluorine at least partially or entirely on an outermost surface of a base material 10. The F-DLC film has an element ratio (F/(F+C)) of 17% to 72% and a nanoindentation hardness of 2,000 MPa to 16,000 MPa. This maintains wear resistance and close contact, and obtains an antibacterial member that maintains a high antibacterial property and a high osteoconductive property for a long duration. The F-DLC film does not necessarily need to cover the entire outermost surface of the base material but may be disposed in a mottled pattern.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information processing apparatus connectable to a client terminal comprises a storage, acquisition module, read module, and control module. The storage stores energy-consumption setting information of the client terminal in association with information relating to the client terminal. The acquisition module acquires client terminal information from the client terminal. The read module reads the information relating to the client terminal from the storage based on the acquired client terminal information, and to read the energy-consumption setting information in association with the information relating to the client terminal. The control module delivers the read energy-consumption setting information to the client terminal in order to carry out an energy consumption control for the client terminal.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus comprises a wireless communication unit which discovers wireless devices existing in surroundings, and a display unit which displays a list of wireless devices discovered by the wireless communication unit as selectable objects in which display icons of the objects are based on radio intensities of the discovered wireless devices.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus of this invention is capable of performing wireless communication complying with, for example, Bluetooth(R), searches for wireless devices existing nearby, and displays a screen for selecting members to be summoned to a conference from the devices searched for. Then, objects representing the members selected on the screen and an object representing the present apparatus are arranged at equal intervals on a circle to cause these objects to be regarded as attendees sitting at a round table in the conference room. According to an operation performed on a displayed object (for example, the icon of a file to be transferred is dragged and dropped on the object of a destination member), data transmission and reception to and from each member is performed.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a network device configured to be connectable to a network. The apparatus further includes a first display control unit which displays a connection diagram showing a connection between the network device and the network on a display device of the information processing apparatus, a diagnosis unit which performs a diagnosis of a network connection of the network device, a second display control unit which displays a portion of the network connection where a problem of the network connection is detected by the diagnosis on the connection diagram, and a third display control unit which displays a message to indicate a solution to the detected problem on the display device.

Abstract: An apparatus performs a wireless communication. The apparatus includes a wireless communication device, a location selecting unit for selecting one from among a plurality of locations that are predetermined to perform the wireless communication, and an operating environment setting unit for setting an operating environment for the wireless communication in a mode in which the wireless communication device does not respond to a device discovery request transmitted from a remote device, based on the selected location.
