Abstract: A system receives, from a second space, a second picked-up image signal obtained by picking up by a second imaging unit, and projects in a first space an image on the basis of the second picked-up image signal. The system includes a region setting section that sets a specific output region, a signal processing section that generates post-processing image data by performing image signal processing on the second picked-up image signal in such a way that a luminance value of the image projected onto the specific output region becomes equal to or smaller than a specific value; and a device control section that causes projection of the image on the basis of the post-processing image data.

Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a sensor to detect a steering torque applied to a steering shaft that rotates in accordance with a steering wheel operation; a steering assistance unit configured to assist steering by a lane keeping assistance function; a correcting unit configured to obtain a corrected torque by removing a torque caused due to the steering assistance unit from the steering torque detected by the sensor; and a determining unit configured to determine whether or not a driver is in a hands-off state based on the corrected torque.

Abstract: An object is to realize smooth communication between users present in different spaces.

Abstract: Provided is a process of identifying a name and boundary of a neighborhood based on web documents, the process including: extracting, via one or more processors, an n-gram appearing in a plurality of web documents; associating the n-gram with geographic locations associated with the web documents from which the n-gram was extracted; identifying a neighborhood by identifying a cluster of geographic locations associated with the n-gram; determining a boundary for the neighborhood from the distribution of geographical locations in the cluster; determining a name for the neighborhood from the n-gram; and adding the name and boundary of the neighborhood to a geographic information system.

Abstract: An entry point card displayed within a mapping application viewport may display context and other data based on a calendar appointment and other data that the user might, predictably, want to search for upon opening the mapping application. Using appointment information from a calendar application, an entry point card might display a time the user must leave his current location in order to make the appointment on time. Or, using a history of the user's routine errands or trips, the entry point card may display predicted information. For example, the card may display an amount of time to get to work or other information.

Abstract: A user interface of a mobile computing device having a mobile operating system and a display device utilizes a picker application to facilitate selection of an activity. More specifically, the picker application presents at least one radial list of items to provide an effective process for selecting activities categorized amongst one or more locales or neighborhoods associated with a location.

Abstract: A method of forming a low-k film containing silicon and carbon on a substrate by plasma CVD, includes: supplying gas of a precursor having a Si—R—O—R—Si bond into a reaction space in which a substrate is placed; and exciting the gas in the reaction space, thereby depositing a film on the substrate.

Abstract: A method for depositing a thin film on a substrate by plasma CVD includes: providing a vacuum chamber including a showerhead and a susceptor entirely facing the showerhead in parallel, placing a substrate on the susceptor entirely within the inner portion; and applying an RF power between the showerhead and the susceptor to deposit a thin film on the substrate. The susceptor includes an inner portion and a peripheral portion that is defined as any portion enclosing the inner portion and defines an electrically effective distance from the showerhead greater than that defined by the inner portion.

Abstract: A method of forming an interlayer insulation film on a semiconductor substrate using plasma CVD includes introducing a source gas into a reaction chamber, applying radio-frequency power after the source gas is brought in, introducing an oxidizing gas with or without an additive gas into the reaction chamber after the completion of supplying the source gas and applying the radio-frequency power, and applying the radio-frequency power again. The concentration of the oxidizing gas may be 0.3% or higher and a processing time period by the oxidizing gas may be three seconds or longer.

Abstract: A plasma CVD apparatus includes a vacuum chamber, a showerhead, and a susceptor characterized in that an insulation ring is placed and embedded in a peripheral portion of the susceptor to increase the electrically effective distance between the showerhead and the susceptor, both of which functions as electrodes.
