Abstract: The present disclosure relates to processing operations configured to execute a sound visualization application/service that dynamically generates graphical sound indication providing a visualization of sound for content being presented. A visualization of sound data may be generated and rendered from analysis of sound data, occurring in a manner that is independent from the application/service that is being used to present the content. The sound visualization application/service may be implemented as an independent application/service or plugin that works universally to provide graphical sound visualization regardless of whether content was developed to support graphical sound visualization. For example, a sound visualization application/service is implemented that generates and renders sound indication graphically without requiring access to code of displayed content. Rendered sound visualization may be presented concurrently with displayed content.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a microchannel plate having excellent characteristics which enable to attain both high luminance and high resolution at the same time, a gas proportional counter using such a microchannel plate and an imaging device. The microchannel plate according to the present invention comprises a base body provided with a plurality of through holes (13) and having an insulating property, and is arranged in a gas atmosphere mainly containing an inert gas to constitute a proportional counter. The base body has photoelectric converter portions (1a, 1b) formed on at least inner walls of the plurality of through holes (13).
