Abstract: In a video transmission system, a video transmission device includes circuitry configured to determine an attention position where a viewer located in a second space is estimated to pay attention to a situation in a first space, divide a range included in a recorded video of the first space into multiple regions including at least a first region having the attention position and a second region, set a first video quality for the first region and set a second video quality lower than the first video quality for the second region, generate video data in accordance with the first video quality and the second video quality, and transmit the video data to a video output device. The video output device includes circuitry configured to control a display unit using the video data such that the display unit displays a video showing the situation in the first space.

Abstract: A substance is described which is capable of imparting a kokumi, which shows a more excellent kokumi-imparting effect, in particular, the initial taste-imparting type of kokumi-imparting effect, which is excellent in the stability and which can easily be produced at a low cost. Additionally, a kokumi-imparting composition which includes a substance as well as a kokumi-imparting agent including the substance and other substances possessing the CaSR agonist activities in combination. More particularly, the present invention herein provides a kokumi-imparting composition consisting of ?-Glu-Abu (L-?-glutamyl-L-2-amino-butyric acid) and a complex kokumi-imparting agent which includes the foregoing substance and another substance having a CaSR agonist activity, in combination.

Abstract: An electrical connector is to be connected to a mating electrical connector in a connecting direction. The electrical connector includes a terminal; and a housing for holding the terminal. The terminal includes a board connecting portion to be connected to a board; a holding portion fixed to the housing; a contact region for contacting a mating contact portion of the mating electrical connector; a contact piece capable of elastically deforming; and a contact portion formed at a distal end portion of the contact piece. The housing includes an inner piece portion and an outer piece portion. The contact piece is disposed between the inner piece portion and the outer piece portion. The outer piece portion includes inner piece holding portions at both sides thereof. The inner piece holding portions are away from each other by a distance greater than a width of the inner piece portion.
