Abstract: A virtual space is provided in which users interested in any one of various Web pages can meet each other in real time through the Web page that interests them. When any one Web page is viewed on user terminals 310 to 330, the Web address information of the Web page is acquired and sent to a virtual space provision server 100. Then, a virtual space is produced based on the virtual space information according to the Web address information from the virtual space provision server 100. Furthermore, for example, any change in an avatar image and item image within the virtual space on one of the user terminals 310 to 330 is reflected on the virtual space of another one of the user terminals 310 to 330. This allows those users viewing the same Web page to share the virtual space of the same contents with one another.

Abstract: A fixing apparatus for fixing visible images formed on a recording medium has a heat roller having a heating member in the inner portion of the heat roller, and a flat plate-like elastic member forming a nip in contact with the heat roller and capable of exerting a pressure at the nip portion by an elastic stress, the recording medium being fed into the nip portion. According to the fixing apparatus and the fixing method using this apparatus, since a pressure roller is not necessary, the system can be simplified, which leads to miniaturization of the overall fixing apparatus, reduction of overall weight and cost reduction.

The base of the NPN transistor is connected to the base of an NPN type bipolar transistor. The emitter of the transistor is connected to the collector of the transistor. A signal output terminal is connected to a connection point of the collector of the transistor and the emitter of the transistor.
