Abstract: An information processing apparatus stores in a function expansion card removably housed in an expansion slot add-in programs for reading additional information such as multimedia information included in the electronic mail. The apparatus includes a list table that correlates the individual information types of additional information with the add-in programs. In the apparatus, an add-in program execute section loads the add-in program selected based on the list table from the function expansion card and executes the program. A user interface section provides a screen for the user to arbitrarily set a correlation in the list table. An indicator display section enables the user to visually check the list table.

Provided methods include selecting a desired URL data using a selection button when a web page is displayed, and registering the URL data for the displayed web page and URL data corresponding to one or more link points in the web page.

Abstract: A fluorine-based oil composition for actuator rolling bearings containing (A) a fluorine-based oil and (B) a fluorinated ether diamide compound at a ratio by weight of 80 to 9.1 to 20 to 0.1. This composition is much better in torque, outgas and life than existing oil compositions.

Abstract: A method of producing a cathode mixture for batteries is disclosed. It comprises supplying a wet mixture containing a cathode active material, a binding agent and a conductive material onto a disc having a horizontal surface and rotating around its vertical axis, moving the mixture along the upper and side surfaces of the disc to obtain spherical granules. A liquid mixture can also be used.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for electron beam welding, in which the oscillation of the focus of an electron beam which is due to the pulsation of a direct-current high voltage for accelerating electrons is detected, and the electron beam is controlled according to the detected oscillation of the focus of the electron beam.
