Abstract: A review image is displayed prior to measurement of an analysis target sample. The review image includes a waveform image and a numerical value image showing a measurement condition determined for a measurement segment of interest. The waveform image includes a waveform portion which is a part of a chromatogram, and a marker array showing a period of a circulating ion measurement. The marker array includes a plurality of markers which are displayed in an overlapping manner over the waveform portion.

Abstract: A navigation apparatus is provided which displays an own-vehicle driving condition without making it difficult to view a map display. The navigation apparatus includes own-vehicle location determination means 1 that determines a location of an own vehicle; a map database 11 having map data recorded therein; vehicle data acquisition means 6 that acquires vehicle data; a displaying means 5 that displays on the map data an own-vehicle mark indicating the location of the own-vehicle; and data processing means 13 that determines a driving condition using the vehicle data, to thereby vary the own vehicle mark, wherein the vehicle driving condition is represented by means of the own vehicle mark.

Abstract: A speech processing unit assigns priority either to voice guidance processing or to speech recognition processing to be carried out previously, when a speech input requesting for the speech recognition processing is accepted while the voice guidance processing is being carried out. It can solve a problem of a conventional speech processing unit in that when a user operates a speech input button requesting for the speech recognition processing, the currently output voice guidance is interrupted, or the voice guidance scheduled to be output is not produced, thereby hindering the user from obtaining truly necessary information.

Abstract: In a navigation apparatus, operating function control means of system control means infers a operation, which a user is expected to set next time on a screen of display means by operating means, from a set situation of each item selected on a map screen based on map data read from map data storage means, and when a destination has not been set, for example, presents a setting switch for the destination as a function switch, or when an en route location has not been set by route setting means, presents a setting switch for the en route location as a function switch. The operating function control means also presents a switch for retrieving surrounding establishments, which the user is expected to be desirous of looking for, based on the time of day or the duration of driving. The navigation apparatus enables the user to perform desired setting operations and retrieval of establishments without the need for complicated operations.
