Abstract: Provided is a technique and the like capable of specifying irradiation areas or irradiation positions of a beam and a light as clearly as possible. A charged particle beam apparatus 1 includes: a position adjustment mark 10 provided on a stage 6 and irradiated with a beam b1 and a light a1; and a mechanism setting an irradiation position of the beam b1 and an irradiation position of the light a1 with respect to the stage 6 and changing a relative positional relationship including a distance between the irradiation position of the light a1 and the stage 6.

Abstract: An imaging device includes an imager configured to capture a subject to generate a captured image; a recognizer configured to recognize the subject on the captured image; and a controller configured to control a focusing operation based on a focusing region set on the captured image, wherein the controller, when the subject is recognized to be present in a first determination region in a state where the focusing region is set on a predetermined region fixedly arranged on the captured image, sets the focusing region depending on a recognition result of the recognizer instead of the predetermined region.

Abstract: A shake correcting device can correct a shake occurring on a target device. The shake correcting device includes an angular velocity detector, a DC component detector, a controller, a panning detector, and a storage unit. When the panning detector changes from a state in which the panning is detected to a state in which the panning is not detected, the controller controls the DC component detector to output the value of a DC component of angular velocity of the target device stored in the storage unit when the panning detector does not detect panning, and then controls the DC component detector to output a DC component based on angular velocity of the target device detected by the angular velocity detector.

Abstract: To provide a reproduction apparatus able to easily select a desired content data based on an attribute of the content data by a simple operation from a user and a reproduction method for the same, wherein the reproduction apparatus having: a display displaying the item; a first operation unit instructing a switch of the attribute; a second function unit instructing a selection of a predetermined item on the display; and a processing unit switching a first screen from a screen of a plurality of items so as to display a plurality of items when the first operation key is operated, and switching to a second screen displaying a plurality of item when the second operation key is operated when a plurality of item is displayed on the first screen.

Abstract: A content playback method in a content player which searches for content data by a hierarchical structure defined based on a plurality of attributes, comprising a display step of displaying a plurality of classification items for classifying the content data on a screen, a classification item specification step of specifying a designated classification item in the hierarchical structure when playback of a predetermined classification item is designated in the plurality of classification items displayed on the screen, and a playback step of playing back content data allocated to a lower layer from the specified classification item and such a content player.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus having an acceleration sensor for detecting acceleration occurring in the electronic apparatus, a housing for housing the acceleration sensor, a jolt detector housed in the housing and detecting whether or not the housing is jolted based on the detection result of the acceleration sensor, a processor for processing relating to content data, and a controller for controlling the processor when a jolt of the housing is detected by the jolt detector.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of easily executing calculation of an environmental load volume (LCA result). Inventory data, that is data of individual materials and components, is used as the basic data of aggregate data when calculating the environmental load volume. The aggregate data is made up of a plurality of inventory data. When information per product is inputted, aggregate data is calculated based on the inputted information and the aggregate data is used for calculation of LCA result. The LCA result is calculated also using other LCA results already calculated. The apparatus can be applied to a computer for calculating the environmental load volume.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus capable of easily executing calculation of an environmental load volume (LCA result 23). Inventory data 21 which is data of individual materials and components is used as a basic data of a aggregate data 22 when calculating the environmental load volume. The aggregate data 22 is comprised by referring to a plurality of inventory data 21. When information per product is inputted, on the basis of this information, its aggregate data is calculated and used for calculation of LCA result 23. Further, the LCA result 23 is calculated also using other LCA results 23 already calculated. The present invention can be applied to a computer for calculating the environmental load volume.
