Abstract: A broadcast receiving includes a broadcast receiver that receives a broadcast wave of a digital broadcasting service; a separator that separates coded program video data, program-cooperation data, and screen layout control information, from the broadcast wave; a video decoder that decodes the coded program video data to reproduce program video information; a cooperation information generator that interprets the program-cooperation data to generate program-cooperation information; and a control unit that, when an instruction to display a given screen is input while the presentation processor divides video display region into sub-regions based on the screen layout control information, places the program video information in one of the sub-regions, places the program-cooperation information in another sub-region, and outputs the data of the video display region as the video information, outputs information of the given screen as the video information without dividing the video display region based on the screen

Abstract: A head-mounted display comprises: a wearing body; a display; a communication module configured to perform communication connection with a mobile information terminal; a field of view (FOV) sensor configured to output status data used for determining whether the mobile information terminal is included in a user's FOV through the wearing body; and a controller connected to each of the display, the communication module, and the FOV detection sensor. The controller determines whether the mobile information terminal is included in the user's FOV based on the status data, and performs display control with respect to the display so as to display an application screen of the mobile information terminal on the display when determining that the mobile information terminal is not included in the FOV, and not to display the application screen on the display when determining that the mobile information terminal is included in the FOV.

Abstract: The present invention provides an image pickup device that recognizes the object that the user is attempting to capture as the subject, tracks the movement of that subject, and can continue tracking the movement of the subject even when the subject leaves the capturing area so that the subject can always be reliably brought into focus. The image pickup device includes a main camera that captures the subject; an EVF that displays the captured image captured by the main camera, a sub-camera that captures the subject using a wider capturing region than the main camera, and a processing unit that extracts the subject from the captured images captured by the main camera and the sub-camera, tracks the extracted subject, and brings the subject into focus when an image of the subject is actually captured. When the subject moves outside of a capturing region of the main camera, the processing unit tracks the subject extracted from the captured image captured by the sub-camera.

Abstract: [Problems] To provide a medicament which is effective for treatment and prophylaxis of cerebral aneurysms [Means for Solving the Problems] The invention provides a medicament for treatment and prophylaxis of cerebral aneurysms, wherein the medicament contains a cysteine protease inhibitor as an active ingredient. The cysteine protease inhibitor preferably is an epoxysuccinamide derivative or its salt.

Abstract: An image printer system that prints out images using image data taken by a digital camera and recorded in a recording medium and that saves the image data in the recording medium in another recording medium. In this system, parameters are set for the printing operation and for the saving operation before they are begun, and the two operations are performed simultaneously or in one sequence. The image data may be corrected for the printing, but the image data that is saved is the original image data.

Abstract: An air-driven rotating and cutting device or handpiece has a double-wheel rotor. The handpiece includes connecting channels for guiding air from first turbine blades to second turbine blades. Each of the channels is defined by an opening opened toward a direction parallel to the rotational axis and a surface portion formed by extending the opening to a direction along the rotational axis.

Abstract: Based on image data including a whole image 91, a specified region 91a defining a part of the whole image 91, and character data 91b corresponding to the part of the whole image within the specified region 91a, an image is displayed or printed that has the character data 92b arranged near to an extracted image 92a obtained by extracting from the whole image 91 the part thereof within the specified region 91a.
