Abstract: A fixing device includes a belt member that cyclically moves, a pressing unit that comes into contact with the belt member and presses a recording medium moving between the belt member and the pressing unit, and a heat source that includes a base material, a resistance heating element disposed on a surface of the base material along a longitudinal direction of the base material, and an insulator covering the resistance heating element and that comes into contact with the pressing unit via the belt member to heat an inner surface of the belt member, in which the insulator is formed to cover a corner portion of the base material in a direction of movement of the belt member.

Abstract: A method, executed by an electronic apparatus, includes retrieving, in response to input of a character string by a user, conversion candidates associated with the input character string, each conversion candidate having a first rank. The method also includes displaying, when a plurality of the conversion candidates are present, the plurality of conversion candidates within a corresponding plurality of regions on a map wherein conversion candidates that have a higher first rank occupy larger regions on the map. A corresponding computer program product and corresponding computer systems are also disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for displaying an image of a map using a processing system, the method including: dividing a first map image obtained from a map widget into sections wherein the first map image is displayed by the processing system; recording the location of each marker to be represented in a second map image; calculating a weight factor for each section; moving and deforming each section according to the weight factor of each section to form the second map image; placing a new marker on the second map image wherein the new marker represents at least one marker with a recorded location; and displaying the second map image in place of the first map image.

Abstract: A history acquisition unit acquires a history of operations with a web browser by a user and stores the history in a storage device. A search unit accesses the storage device to search a history of a first operation for inputting a parameter and a history of a second operation performed after the first operation. A generation unit generates a service program that provides services that the user has received through the operations with the web browser, and stores it in the storage device. The service program makes a computer function as: an input acceptance unit that accepts input of a new parameter instead of the parameter input through the first operation; and a processing unit that performs, in response to the new parameter, inputting the new parameter in the web page and processing associated with the second operation beforehand in this stated order with respect to the web browser.

Abstract: A context menu including a group copy function is displayed and, when the function is selected, all parent nodes of a node corresponding to the input field the pointing device is positioned over are displayed as alternatives to be copied. In response to selection of a parent node for copying by the pointing device, data in all nodes lower than the parent node are copied into a memory. In response to clicking by the pointing device in the input field selected as a pasting destination, a data type of the input field selected as the copying destination and the data type of the data copied into the memory are compared, and if the same, all of the data copied into the memory are pasted in the fields lower than the input field previously selected as the pasting destination.

Abstract: A computer-assisted application program creating system comprises a web service display unit, a service model display unit, an application editing unit, and a data hub. The web service display unit is configured to display a list of indicators of web services. The service model display unit is configured to display input, trigger, and output elements of a web service represented by an indicator in the list of indicators of web services. The application editing unit is configured to associate input, output and trigger elements of different web services represented by indicators in the list of indicators of web services. The data hub is configured to display output of a first output element that corresponds to a first of the different web services and configured to apply a function to the output.

Abstract: An apparatus including a display unit for rearranging frames in a window that includes an event handler module for processing position coordinate data on a window object displayed on the display unit; a frame boundary rotatable determination module that obtains position coordinate data of an end point of the frame boundary formed in the window object so as to determine that the end point is rotatable around a specific end point; and a layout manager for processing coordinate conversion of the specific end point to the end point determined as being rotatable, calculating position coordinate data for changing the frame boundary to generate a predicted window object to be displayed, and storing the predicted window object into a memory unit apart from the window object. A method of providing a graphical user interface and a program product for providing the graphical user interface comprising similar attributes is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicular glass pane having inner and outer major surfaces which are respectively disposed on a first side of a vehicular interior and a second side of a vehicular exterior. The glass pane has a glass plate and a multilayered film formed on one of the inner and outer major surfaces of the glass plate. The glass plate contains a coloring agent. The multilayered film includes a first layer which is light-absorbent and a second layer which is non-light-absorbent. The glass plate and the multilayered film are such that a visible light transmittance of the glass pane is from 25 to 55%, that a first reflectance of the inner major surface of the glass pane is up to 15%, that a second reflectance of the outer major surface of the glass pane is from 10 to 40%, that the visible light transmittance minus the first reflectance is at least 15%, and that the visible light transmittance minus the second reflectance is up to 30%.
