Abstract: According to one embodiment, there is provided a magnetic recording apparatus including a head slider including read and write elements, and a magnetic recording medium including magnetically recordable recording tracks with a width L1, a wide land track with a width L2 larger than the width L1 of the recording track, and non-recording sections with a width G1 each provided between adjacent recording tracks. The width L1 of the recording track is smaller than a bottom read width BRW of the read and write elements, and the width L2 of the wide land track is larger than the bottom read width BRW of the read and write elements.

Abstract: A microscope control device includes a driving control unit that controls driving of a microscope which captures a digital enlarged image of a predetermined sample and outputs the corresponding digital enlarged image to an external server, a digital work processing unit that performs a digital work process for the captured digital enlarged image, a load calculation unit that calculates a load which is necessary for the capturing process of the digital enlarged image, and a digital work determination unit that determines whether or not the predetermined digital work process is to be performed by the digital work processing unit based on a load value calculated by the load calculation unit and a load value for the corresponding server obtained from the server.

Abstract: An image management server is provided including a microscopic image acquisition portion acquiring a microscopic image of a sample made of a plurality of tile images picked up by a microscope before placing the acquired microscopic image into a predetermined storage area. The image management server also includes a meta information creation portion creating meta information determining the microscopic image according to a result of data analysis acquired by the microscopic image acquisition portion; an image provision processing portion providing the meta information and the microscopic image to an image display apparatus in response to a request from the image display apparatus capable of viewing microscopic images.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus restricts admission to space occupied by a user in a virtual space. When a second user of a second terminal makes a request for admission to space which is in the virtual space and which is occupied by a first user of a first terminal, a space management server transmits data to the first user causing the first user to recognize that the request for admission is made by the second user. In response to an action based on the data, the first user performs an operation. If the first user performs an operation to permit the second user admission to the space, the second user can enter the space occupied by the first user.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes a display device which displays a first image associated with a first observation target object. The first image has a first display range. In one example embodiment, the display device displays a second image associated with a second observation target object. The second image has a second display range. In one example embodiment, the information processing apparatus enables a user to change the first display range of the first image. In response to the first display range being changed, the information processing apparatus simultaneously changes the second display range of the second image.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus generates and causes a display device to display a first thumbnail image which is associated with annotation information. Using a size of the first thumbnail image, the information processing apparatus determines a display size of a first annotation which corresponds to the annotation information. Using the determined display size, the information processing apparatus determines a second annotation. In one example embodiment, the information processing apparatus causes a display device to display the determined second annotation overlapping the first thumbnail image.

Abstract: In one example embodiment, an information processing apparatus, for an observed image associated with an observation target object (e.g., a section of biological tissue), associates and stores position information and observation magnification information. In this embodiment, the information processing apparatus causes a display device to: (i) display an image associated with the observation target object; (ii) indicate the first positional information of the first observed image; and (iii) indicate the first observation magnification information of the first observed image.

Abstract: Basic magnesium carbonate comprising a tubular aggregated particle of flaky fine crystals.

Abstract: An apparatus for processing an informational signal includes a first processing section for receiving the informational signal, executing a first processing on the informational signal, and outputting the processed informational signal. The apparatus also includes a second processing section, which is located at a posterior stage of the first processing section, for receiving the processed informational signal and executing a second processing on the processed informational signal. The apparatus further includes transmitting device for transmitting meta-information corresponding to each predetermined period of time in the informational signal from the first processing section to the second processing section. The processing in the second processing section is controlled based on the meta-information transmitted by the transmitting device.
