Abstract: A mixer (power packet generation device) 2 includes switches 21A, 21B, packet generation means 28A, 28B, and a selector 29. The packet generator 28A (28B) causes the switch 21A (21B) to perform ON/OFF operation, based on a target voltage, and a voltage estimated as being applied to a load 4A (4B) in each of a state where a power packet is supplied to the load and a state where no power packet is supplied to the load. The selector 29 performs switching between a state where the packet generators 28A, 28B cause the switches 21A, 21B to perform ON/OFF operation, and a state where the packet generators 28A, 28B maintain the switches 21A, 21B in their OFF states.

Abstract: In a base station that transmits data to a first terminal in coordination with a coordination-providing base station, and functions as a connection-making base station that instructs the coordination-providing base station on a transmission parameter that is used for coordinated communication, a reception processor receives first CSI between the connection-making base station and the first terminal from the first terminal, and, receives, from each of at least one or more second terminals other than the first terminal, second CSI between the connection-making base station and a second terminal, and third CSI between the coordination-providing base station and at least one second terminal, a CSI estimator configures the third CSI which corresponds to a terminal, to which the first CSI and the second CSI are the closest, of the at least one or more second terminals, as an estimation value of CSI between the coordination-providing base station and the first terminal.

Abstract: A display control apparatus displays, together with an image on a display unit, items related to a plurality of objects in the image. At this time, for the plurality of objects in the image, the display control apparatus displays items related to the respective objects at display positions having a predetermined relative positional relationship with the objects. The display control apparatus decides the order of priority of the plurality of objects. In case that the area of a main object having a highest decided priority level and the display position having the predetermined relative positional relationship for an item related to another object overlap each other, the display control apparatus adjusts the display position of the item related to the other object to eliminate the overlapping, and displays the item related to the other object.

Abstract: A display control apparatus performs control so as to enlarge and display a portion of an image in response to a TELE operation performed while the entire image is being normally displayed, and performs control so as to change an enlargement area of the image to an area corresponding to an in-focus position within an area of the image in response to a press of a set button while the image is being enlarged and displayed. The set button has a function of displaying a FUNK menu when the set button is pressed while the entire image is being normally displayed.

Abstract: Control is made in such that in a case where an attitude detected by an attitude detection unit is a first attitude, if a trace of a detected touched position satisfies a specific condition, a function corresponding to the detected trace is executed, and in a case where the detected attitude is a second attitude opposite to the first attitude, even if the trace of the detected touched position is a trace which satisfies the specific condition, the corresponding function is not executed. Thus, when an electronic apparatus is upside-down, a specific gesture operation by a touch operation is invalidated.

Abstract: There are provided a setting unit, a selecting unit, a moving unit, and a reception unit.
