Abstract: In a method of controlling a liquid discharge device, the liquid discharge device includes a liquid discharge unit and at least one valve body. The liquid discharge unit discharges from a nozzle liquid supplied from at least one supply channel. The at least one valve body opens/closes the at least one supply channel. The method includes first control and second control. The first control causes a pressure to be applied to the liquid so as to supply the liquid to the at least one supply channel. The second control causes an external force to operate the at least one valve body operable in accordance with a pressure on a downstream side of the at least one valve body so as to adjust and hold a degree of opening of the at least one valve body in a range between a closed state and a full-open state.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a receiving apparatus, and a receiving method that aim at enabling a desired content to be viewed by a simpler operation. A server assigns a predetermined channel of a television receiver to a predetermined URL, associates a content specified by a predetermined electronic device with the URL, receives a request for the content associated with the URL from the television receiver in response to a selection of the channel in the television receiver, and controls the content to be distributed to the television receiver in response to the request. The television receiver receives the selection of the channel to which the URL is assigned by the server, transmits a request for the content to the server in response to the selection of the channel, and receives the content distributed in response to the request.
