Abstract: A computer-implemented information processing method includes: determining, based on musical instrument information indicative of a musical instrument, a target part of a body of a first player, the first player playing the musical instrument indicated by the musical instrument information; and acquiring image information indicative of imagery of the determined target part.

Abstract: A computer-implemented information processing method includes receiving image information indicative of imagery of a first player using a musical instrument, and determining comment information indicative of a comment for the first player based on the image information.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a production system that is capable of high-level secretory production of a protein (and in particular, a protein with a complicated structure such as a structure with S—S bonds) in a host cell such as yeast and is suitable for industrial production with high safety that does not require explosion-proof facilities. The present invention provides a transformed yeast into which a chaperone gene has been introduced and in which the aox1 gene and/or the protease gene have been disrupted and a method for producing a protein involving the use of such transformed yeast.

Abstract: A state control circuit gives an inactive state control signal to a CPU and an active state control signal to a data transmission circuit. In response to this, the CPU goes into the halt state and the data transmission circuit goes into the receive state. When receive processing is completed, the state control circuit gives an active state control signal to the CPU. In response to this, the CPU restores from the halt state to the operative state. The CPU gives an instruction signal to the state control circuit. The state control circuit gives an inactive state control signal to the data transmission circuit. In response to this, the data transmission circuit goes into the halt state.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide: succinic anhydride that little becomes colored in a melted state; a production process for such succinic anhydride; and a production process for a polyester, by which there can be obtained a polyester of an extremely reduced color. As means of achieving such an object, the succinic anhydride is characterized by having a &ggr;-butyrolactone content of not more than 800 ppm and a dilactone content of not more than 500 ppm. The production process for the succinic anhydride is characterized in that: the hydrogenation reaction is carried out in the presence of a catalyst in the temperature range of 120 to 160° C. under a hydrogen pressure of 0.1 to 2.0 MPa; and the distillation is carried out in such a manner that the bottom temperature will be within the temperature range of 125 to 200° C. by reducing the pressure. The production process for the polyester is characterized in that the aforementioned succinic anhydride is used as an acid component.

Abstract: A state control circuit (107) gives an inactive state control signal (S2) to a CPU (105) and an active state control signal (S3) to a data transmission circuit (102). In response to this, the CPU (105) goes into the halt state and the data transmission circuit (102) goes into the receive state. When receive processing is completed, the state control circuit (107) gives an active state control signal (S2) to the CPU (105). In response to this, the CPU (105) restores from the halt state to the operative state. The CPU (105) gives an instruction signal (CMD2) to the state control circuit (107). The state control circuit (107) gives an inactive state control signal (S3) to the data transmission circuit (102). In response to this, the data transmission circuit (102) goes into the halt state.
