Abstract: A reception beamformer 140 includes a delay-and-sum unit 142 that performs delay-and-sum processing with respect to reception signal sequences from multiple channels based on reflected ultrasound to calculate acoustic line signal line data. The delay-and-sum unit 142, in first reception beamforming processing, synthesizes the acoustic line signal line data calculated in the delay-and-sum processing by summing acoustic line signals associated with the observation points having the same positions, and, in the second reception beamforming processing, outputs the acoustic line signal data calculated in the delay-and-sum processing as is. Time taken by the delay-and-sum unit 142 to generate the acoustic line signal line data per set of acoustic line signal line data is equal or approximately equal in the first reception beamforming processing and the second reception beamforming processing.

Abstract: Time stamps are attached to packets output from stream data input section by a time stamp-attaching section in a HDD, and the packets are then recorded into a HDD main unit. A stream data-generating section removes the time stamps from the packets subsequent to a predetermined amount of packets last recorded into the HDD main unit and controls the timing of the packets according to the time stamps, and the packets are transferred to an HDD. In the HDD, time stamps start to be generated according to the last predetermined amount of packets, and to the packets transferred thereafter, time stamps are attached in a similar fashion as in the HDD, so that the packets are recorded into the HDD main unit.

Abstract: In a content distribution system, a recording-management system makes a storing section of a first terminal device store a predetermined content stored in a content-storing section of a distribution device obligatorily. Under this condition, when a second terminal device requests the recording management system to distribute the predetermined content, the recording management system transmits the address identifying the first terminal device that stores the predetermined content to the second terminal device. The content stored in the first terminal device is transmitted and received between the second terminal device and the first terminal device having the received address through a user network to obtain the predetermined content. Thus, the content requested by a given terminal device can be distributed to the terminal device that has made the request without increasing the scale of the distribution device.
