Abstract: A control method outputs audio indicating content of an operation of a transmission device connected to a reception device. The control method includes accepting the operation of the transmission device, generating operation data indicating the content of the operation by the transmission device, transmitting the operation data from the transmission device to the reception device, generating audio data indicating the content of the operation based on the operation data by the reception device, and outputting the audio indicated by the audio data by the reception device.

Abstract: A control device includes a communication component and a controller. The communication component transmits and receives control signal to and from an external device. The controller determines whether or not to output audio signal corresponding to control information included in the control signal based on attribute information included in the control signal.

Abstract: An optical disk apparatus includes a data conversion unit that converts input video data into record data, a data record unit that temporarily stores the record data in buffer memory and writes on to an optical disk while maintaining data continuity, and a control unit that controls the data record unit and the data conversion unit. The control unit acquires free space of the buffer memory in a reference data unit smaller than a video object unit when the video data is converted into record data in the video object unit, instructs to divide the record data into the reference data units and to store in the buffer memory based on the acquired free space, to convert the video data into record data when the record data is stored, and to divide termination processing data in to the reference data units and to store when a record stop instruction is input.

Abstract: After a recording process is started, encoded data of one VOBU, for example, is stored in a buffer memory 32, and then it is read from the buffer memory 32 and is then written to an optical disc 1. If a write error occurs during the writing, an error occurrence sector address is set as a next write sector address. When the next write sector address is different from a next writable sector address, two ECC blocks are added to the next write sector address, and, after the two ECC blocks are rewritten to invalid sectors, at the time of resumption of writing, a memory address too is set back to a memory address at the time of occurrence of a write error. After a memory address is set back in such a manner as described above, when the number of continuous errors is less than a predetermined number, the encoded data is recorded from a resume write sector address.

Abstract: An optical disk apparatus includes an information readout unit that reads out information recorded on an optical disk while seeking, a storage unit that temporarily stores the information read out, and a control unit that performs readout and seek controls for the information readout unit and performs readout and writing controls for the storage unit. When a readout error detection signal is inputted during reading out the information, the control unit seeks from a retry address preceding an error-detected address by a predetermined amount, and subsequently, when the readout error detection signal for the same address is inputted, seeks from a retry address further preceding the immediately preceding retry address by a predetermined amount. When the readout error detection signal is inputted on performing retry seek actions predetermined times, the control unit seeks from a head address of a video object unit preceding the error-detected address by a predetermined amount.

Abstract: A process for producing a metal vacuum bottle composed of internal and external shells made of metal, said process comprising the steps of brazing the seamed portion formed between said two shells through a vacuum heating treatment for an assembly of the vacuum bottle accommodating a getter to be sealed therewithin, and of enhancing the vacuum degree between said shell by maintaining the temperature of activating the getter for a certain period of time.
