Abstract: Methods and apparatus provide for: generating image data for an application to be displayed on an output device; recording the image data generated by the image generating unit; and receiving operation information from an input device, where the recording includes storing the image data for an application for a predetermined period of time up to the point in time at which operation information is received during the receiving operation information from a specific input unit provided in the input device while displaying an application image.

Abstract: In a circular cross section obtained by cutting a protector along a plane which is orthogonal to an axial direction and passes through gas introduction holes, the gas introduction holes are arranged asymmetrically in the circumferential direction of a circumferential wall of the protector. When the circular cross section is bisected into first and second divisional regions by a straight line which passes through the center of the circular cross section and does not pass through any gas introduction holes, the total opening area of gas introduction holes located in the first divisional region is smaller than the total opening area of gas introduction holes located in the second divisional region.

Abstract: In a circular cross section of a protector obtained by cutting the protector along a plane which is orthogonal to the axial direction and passes through gas introduction holes, one gas introduction hole and another gas introduction hole having an opening area different from that of the one gas introduction hole are arranged along an imaginary line passing through the center of the circular cross section such that the two gas introduction holes are located on opposite sides with respect to the center of the circular cross section.

Abstract: A protector includes an inside protector having an inside peripheral wall and a front end wall in a front end side thereof and a tubular outside protector which surrounds the inside protector. In an outside peripheral wall of the outside protector, a plurality of outside introducing ports through which an external part of the outside protector communicates with a gas separating chamber are formed at equal intervals along a circumferential direction. The outside introducing ports are formed at positions nearer to the front end side than positions where inside introducing ports of the inside protector are formed. The outside introducing ports extend in the circumferential direction of the outside peripheral wall and formed in shapes of lateral holes in which opening lengths in the circumferential direction are larger than opening lengths in the direction perpendicular to the circumferential direction.

Abstract: A gas sensor including a gas sensor element that extends in an axial direction and has a detection section at a front-end side thereof, and an electrode pad at a rear-end side thereof; a connection terminal that is electrically connected to the electrode pad; and an insulated separator that extends along the axial direction and has an inserting hole into which the connection terminal is inserted. An element side section is arranged within the inserting hole and is connected the electrode pad, and an external circuit side section extends further to the outside in a diametrical direction than an outer surface of the separator through one or more first bending sections from the element side section.
