Abstract: In a presentation control, another presentation request of another content is accepted from another application while presenting a content of one application, which content is preferentially presented is arbitrated based on a rule definition including: an attribute of the content that defines either a cancellation for withdrawing the presentation request or an on-standby without withdrawing the presentation request; and a constraint equation that defines an exception rule for defining a setting of the content that has lost arbitration as either the on-standby or the cancellation; and one of the contents arbitrated is presented to a presentation area.

Abstract: A content display control apparatus includes an animation rule definition storage unit configured to store animation rule definitions. The content display control apparatus is configured to arbitrate animations based on the animation rule definitions stored in the animation rule definition storage unit in response to receiving a screen transition arbitration result and an animation execution state, and to execute the animations according to the screen transition arbitration result and an animation arbitration result.

Abstract: A state of an external device is acquired. It is arbitrated which content is preferentially presented, based on a rule definition including a constraint equation according to a presentation request of the content obtained from an application and the state of the external device acquired in the acquiring of the state. A presentation of the content is controlled according to an arbitration result performed in the arbitrating.

Abstract: A display control apparatus assigning display images to multiple areas of a vehicle-mounted display is disclosed. The display control apparatus stores area relationship information for each of the areas and image relationship information for each of the display images. Of two display images related to each other, the display control apparatus determines that one display image belongs to a first image group and the other display image belongs to a second image group. The display control apparatus assigns the one display image to the areas by performing a predetermined comparison operation, and then assigns the other display image to the areas based on the area assigned the one display image and the area relationship information.

Abstract: A display control apparatus for assigning a content to an area of a screen of an in-vehicle display and for displaying the content is disclosed. When a display Instruction to display a new content different from a present content to an area is generated during displaying of the present content on the area, the display control apparatus selects either one of the present content and the new content as a display target of the area based on an importance degree of the new content and an importance degree of the present content.

Abstract: A display control apparatus, with respect to multiple display areas of a display screen of a display apparatus, assigns one display image to one of the display areas by performing a predetermined calculation. The display control apparatus includes a display image managing section storing image information related to the display image, a display area managing section storing area information related to each display area, a mandatory exclusion information storing section storing mandatory exclusion information that defines multiple display image combinations so that the display image is included in each of the display image combinations, and a display image assignment control section. The display image assignment control section, based on the mandatory exclusion information, determines the display image combinations, generates a display image combination list, and assigns the display image to the display area based on the display image combination list.

Abstract: A content management section rearranges contents in an order from a content having a greater information value, preparing a content list. With respect to assignable areas of a display apparatus, a region value is compared with an information value of each content; the content may be assigned to the area when the information value exceeds the region value. The contents are associated with information values and the areas are associated with region values; thus, the content can be assigned to the area that is more suitable. When there are several assignable areas, a target content is assigned to an area having a highest region value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a carrier for affinity chromatography comprising an insoluble carrier and antibodies which are modified by activated polyethyleneglycol and immobilized on the insoluble carrier, the antibodies being modified by activated polyethylene glycol at a location other than at an immobilizing site.

Abstract: A stirring method comprising placing particles of a magnetic material or particles of a magnetic material coated or covered with a non-magnetic material in an interface between two phases or in a specific layer, and subjecting said particles to influences of a rotating magnetic field to cause rotation and revolution in the particles. According to this method, transfer of substances and/or heat in the interface between the two phases or in the specific layer is promoted. Also disclosed is a stir method comprising placing particles of a magnetic material or particles of a magnetic material coated or covered with a non-magnetic material in a fluid under influences of a rotating magnetic field, to cause rotation and revolution in the particles in the fluid. According to this method, transfer of substances and/or heat in the interface between a phase of the particles and a phase of the fluid is promoted.
