Abstract: There is a provided manufacturing process management support device that has an input means for inputting information indicative of the fact that work related to a manufacturing process is performed, and is capable of increasing the reliability of result information. A handy terminal 10 is used to input relevant information at the start of work for adjusting a machine that processes a processing target, at the completion of such adjustment work, and at the completion of processing work. The results of these inputs are supplied to a support tool execution server 50 through a factory result collection PC 20 and a progress server 30. The support tool execution server 50 calculates the percentage of inputs actually made and causes a display 52 to display the calculated percentage, thereby making it viewable by factory workers.

Abstract: An emission signal visualization device includes a front video camera for photographing a measured object from the front, a signal detecting sensor for detecting an emission signal generated from the measured object, a lateral video camera for photographing the signal detecting sensor from a lateral, a spectrum analyzer, and an analyzing body unit, and records and analyzes the state of the spatial distribution of signals detected by the signal detecting sensor.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments described herein, there is provided an apparatus which comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform certain steps. Firstly, the apparatus is caused to present, in response to detection of first touch signalling on a particular portion of a touch-sensitive display, a magnified view of at least that particular portion of the touch-sensitive display and an indicator positioned corresponding to the detected position of the first touch signalling. Secondly, the apparatus is caused to, upon release of the first touch signalling, maintain the magnified view of that particular portion and the positioned indicator for a predetermined period.

Abstract: A communications terminal 100 is configured to convert user touch-inputs received through a touch-sensitive display 102 into alphabet characters and diacriticized characters, where appropriate, through an intuitive user interface. The terminal 100 includes a means for causing display on a user interface of a keyboard comprising a plurality of individually-selectable keys, each displaying a different alphabet character. In response to receiving user selection of a first alphabet character, the terminal 100 is configured to modify a subset of the keys to display the original alphabet character and a respective one of a set of different diacritical marks appropriate to the selected first alphabet character. In response to user selection of one of the dual-character, modified, keys, either a new alphabet character or a modified version of the first alphabet character having the diacritical mark shown on the selected modified key, is entered into a text editor.

Abstract: A mobile communications device including a receiver for receiving metadata; a memory for storing the received metadata; a user interface for receiving user input defining a first string of characters; a controller for searching the metadata for the first string of characters by traversing the received metadata and extracting at least one second string of characters, wherein the at least one second string of characters is embedded in the metadata and wherein a first part of the at least one second string of characters matches the first string of characters; wherein the user interface is configured to display the at least one second string of characters for selection; and wherein the controller is arranged to instruct the memory to, in a case one of the at least one second string is selected, store the at least one second string in a first predictive text dictionary.
