Abstract: A non-limiting example game system that functions as a non-limiting example information processing system includes a game apparatus, and an input device and a television are connected to this game apparatus. When inputting a personal identification number (Pin) in an input screen displayed on the television using an analog stick in a state not showing input contents, sizes of input areas that are set corresponding to respective directions of the analog stick are changed according to whether a numeral of a correct answer is an odd number or an even number. When the numeral of the correct answer is an odd number, the input areas to which the odd numbers are assigned are made large, and when the numeral of the correct answer is an even number, the input areas to which the even numbers are assigned are made large.

Abstract: In a first information processing apparatus, a plurality of users can be registered. When an application is executed, any of the registered users is selected as an application executing user. Execution state data in which application information indicating the application being executed is associated with the selected user is transmitted to a server. In the server, the execution state data is aggregated to generate aggregate data. In this case, the aggregation is performed such that an execution state of the application is recognizable for each application executing user. The aggregate data is transmitted in response to a request from a second information processing apparatus. The second information processing apparatus displays the execution state of the application for each application executing user on the basis of the received aggregate data.

Abstract: In order to extend the lifetime of a cooler and reduce down periods of an MRI apparatus due to the maintenance, a cooling capacity of the cooler 107 of the superconducting magnet is controlled so that cooling heat absorption almost equivalent to an amount of heat penetrating into the refrigerant vessel 202 of the superconducting magnet is exerted, and pressure in the refrigerant vessel 202 is maintained within an acceptable pressure range. In addition to this, at least either change amount of magnetic field strength or magnetic field homogeneity in an imaging space due to a pressure change in the refrigerant vessel 202 is compensated by the magnetic field adjustment unit.
