After the recognition unit recognizes that the first area is arranged, the controller performs control to arrange, on a display screen of a second display apparatus, a second area that has the specific size and in which the specific image is displayed.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to transmit and receive multimedia data including at least one of sound data and video data between plural terminals connected to each other through a network to communicate with each other. The program causes the computer to function as a detection section and an association section. The detection section detects an event occurring when the plural terminals communicate with each other. The association section associates event information relating to the event with the multimedia data based on time information included in the multimedia data and a time when the detection section detects the event.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an extractor that receives sheet image data that is generated by reading an image on a medical record sheet onto which basic medical information and encoded information of the basic medical information are printed, and extracts, from the sheet image data, information image data representing a portion where the basic medical information is printed, an image generator that generates reference image data representing the basic medical information, based on the encoded information represented in the sheet image data, and a detector that detects a correction that is to be performed on the basic medical information printed on the medical record sheet, based on a difference between the information image data and the reference image data.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute a process for allowing at least part of display content of a second terminal apparatus included in multiple terminal apparatuses to be displayed on at least a portion of a display screen of a first terminal apparatus included in the multiple terminal apparatuses in such a manner that the first terminal apparatus is in a synchronous state. The process includes acquiring first operation content indicating content of an operation performed by a first user on the first terminal apparatus; and modifying, in a case where the first operation content indicates content of an operation of modifying display content displayed on the first terminal apparatus in synchronization with the second terminal apparatus and indicates content of a predetermined operation, the display content displayed on the first terminal apparatus to display content corresponding to the first operation content.

Abstract: Most part of an amount of uranium contained in the spent nuclear fuel is removed by making fluorine or a fluorochemical act on the spent nuclear fuel to convert the uranium into UF6, and the uranium is purified through a simple method of distilling the UF6 together with a absorbent. After removing the most part of the amount of uranium, the remaining nuclear fuel material is dissolved and then transferred to an extraction process to recover plutonium. By doing so, a small sized dry process can be employed as a uranium purification process. Since the nuclear fuel material is dissolved and extracted after removing most part of an amount of uranium, a volume of processing solution can be reduced and the machine installation scale can be made small. Accordingly, the reprocessing facility can be extremely downsized.

Abstract: An optical radio system includes a host device, an end device, and a repeater. The host device and the end device communicate with each other via the repeater by use of optical radio. The repeater includes a section for receiving a first light signal from one of the host device and the end device, a section for converting the received first light signal into a first electric signal, a section for frequency-converting the first electric signal into a second electric signal, and a section for generating a second light signal in response to the second electric signal and transmitting the generated second light signal. The repeater also includes a section for demodulating one of the first electric signal and the second electric signal into a baseband signal, a section for detecting a quality of the baseband signal, and a section for enabling transmission of the second light signal only when the detected quality of the baseband signal is equal to or greater than a predetermined quality.

Abstract: Cations and anions contained as impurities in a spent organic solvent can be removed by an alkaline aqueous solution passing through inside of hydrophobic porous membrane such as hollow fibers for capturing anions and by an acidic aqueous solution passing through inside of hydrophobic porous membrane such as hollow fibers for capturing cations at the same time so as to regenerate the organic solvent. An apparatus suitable for removing cations and anions simultaneously from the spent organic solvent is also provided.
