Abstract: On an optical disk, video object sets (VTST_VOBS) to be reproduced and video title set information (VTSI) serving as management information on the video object sets have been stored. In each video object set (VTST_VOBS), many data cells, each containing video, audio, and sub-picture data, are arranged. Management information on programs chains, which are combinations of programs to be reproduced one after another, has been written in a video title set PGC table (VTS_PGCIT). By referring to the program chain table (VTS_PGCIT) according to the user's input, the playback order of program chains can be changed, enabling the program chains to be reproduced one after another in various modes.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided with a device storing machine readable code and a processor executing the machine readable code. The machine readable code includes sound setting code and audio processing code. The sound setting code detects use of a microphone and sets sound characteristics that are suitable for conversation in response to detecting the use of the microphone. The audio processing code processes sound on the basis of the sound characteristics set by the sound setting code.

Abstract: The erasion level appending range of a file is instructed. According to this instruction, the erasion level is set. When this setting range does not agree with the cell unit of the current cell, the current cell is divided to set a sequence of divided cells. Playback management information of each of the divided cells and current cell is re-created, and erasion level information is appended to playback management information of the divided cell that belongs to the appending range.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an information storage medium having an area in which ESOB type A/ESOB type B is recorded and an area in which HDVR_MG (or VMG) for managing ESOB type A/ESOB type B is recorded is used. HDVR_MG includes identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) for determining whether an object to be managed is of ESOB type A or ESOB type B. HDVR_MG is read from the information storage medium. If the contents of identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) indicate ESOB type A, entry points are registered at a specific reproducing time (at intervals of L minutes). If the contents of identification data (SFI_ID/C_TY) indicate ESOB type B, entry points are registered at a specific packet arrival time (at intervals of L minutes).

Abstract: There is provided a system configured to prevent recording contents of various broadcasting schemes from being recorded together on a single recording medium while supporting various broadcasting schemes. An optical disc used here can record a digital stream complying with a predetermined digital broadcasting scheme and including specific information APP_NAME corresponding to a broadcasting scheme to be recorded. The broadcasting scheme to be recorded is checked. If another digital stream has already been recorded on the optical disc, its broadcasting scheme is detected from APP_NAME, and is compared with that of the stream to be recorded. If these broadcasting schemes are different, recording is aborted.

Abstract: Provided is an agent for the treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases, allergic diseases, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection or the like. A compound represented by the following formula [I] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a solvate thereof: wherein each symbol is as described in the specification.

Abstract: Various kinds of digital broadcast recording and playback are supported even when PSI (Program Specific Information) or SI (Service Information) is unknown. A management area of an information storage medium used in digital broadcast recording has management information for each broadcast station, and also management information of a type that does not specify any broadcast station. The management information of the type that does not specify any broadcast station includes information indicating invalidity of information (PSI, SI) associated with broadcast contents.

Abstract: Data is recorded in a data area of a disk in a hierarchical structure of program chains, programs, cells and packs, each pack is constructed by a pack header for identifying the pack and a packet having a data stream recorded therein, the packet has a packet header having a stream ID indicating at least a private stream and a sub-stream ID indicating the classification of the private stream described therein, and the classification indicates packet data of Dolby AC3 audio data, packet data of linear audio data, packet data of sub-picture data, or packet data of computer data.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pyrimidine compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof represented by the following formula [I] wherein each symbol is as defined in the specification and a method of therapeutically or prophylactically treating an undesirable cell proliferation, comprising administering such a compound. The compound of the present invention has superior activity in suppressing undesirable cell proliferation, particularly, an antitumor activity, and is useful as an antitumor agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of cancer, rheumatism, and the like.

Abstract: A lens unit and a sensor unit are held by a lens holding mechanism and a sensor shift mechanism. As the sensor unit is moved in a Z axis direction on a second slide stage, a chart image is captured with an image sensor through a taking lens so as to obtain in-focus coordinate values in at least five imaging positions on an imaging surface. An approximate imaging plane is calculated from the relative position of plural evaluation points which are defined by transforming the in-focus coordinate value of each imaging position in a three dimensional coordinate system. The second slide stage and a biaxial rotation stage adjust the position and tilt of the sensor unit so that the imaging surface overlaps with the approximate imaging plane.
