Abstract: A display control method performed by one or more processors, the method including: displaying, on a display, a state image and information pertaining to a target in a predetermined arrangement based on state information pertaining to a state of the target, wherein the state image includes an animated video of the target and the information pertaining to the target is the information that differs from the state image and that is updated according to history of the target.

Abstract: A display control method performed by one or more processors, the method including: determining, based on state information pertaining to a state of a target, whether the target is in the state according to a priority order set for each of a plurality of states of the target with the states being a category different from each other; identifying a certain state as the state of the target in a case in which the target is determined to be in the certain state; selecting a state image corresponding to the identified state from a plurality of state images, wherein each of the state images represents the plurality of states and each of the state images includes an animated video; and displaying the selected state image on a display.

Abstract: A pointer display apparatus includes a pointer which operates in an operation range; and at least one processor which controls an operation of the pointer. In a first display mode in which the processor displays display contents with the pointer, the processor sets an evacuation state of the pointer in an evacuation operation in which the pointer is temporarily evacuated from a pointing range to be different from an evacuation state of the pointer in a mode other than the first display mode.

Abstract: A separator for an electricity storage device has a cross-sectional crystal orientation of 0.85 or greater, and/or a method for producing the separator for an electricity storage device comprises a step of using a continuous mixer under conditions with a temperature of 20° C. to 70° C., a shear rate of 100 to 400,000 seconds?1 and a residence time of 1.0 seconds to 60 seconds, for mixing of polyethylene-containing polyolefin powder with a plasticizer to produce a mixed slurry, a step of extruding the mixed slurry and cooling it to solidification to process it into a cast sheet, and a step of biaxially stretching the cast sheet to an area increase factor of 20 to 200.

Abstract: An information processing device has a control unit that acquires information relating to a fluctuation of power consumed by an electrical product operating around a user, and that estimates a product consumed by the user and a consumption quantity of the product based on the information relating to the fluctuation in the power.

Abstract: The present invention aims to provide a method for producing a sulfur-containing polymer such as polyarylene sulfide which has few by-products in the polymerization reaction and little effect caused by the catalyst residue used, on optical properties or other properties. The present invention relates to a method for producing a sulfur-containing polymer, the method including polymerizing a monomer component containing at least one of a disulfide compound or a thiol compound using a catalyst, the catalyst containing an iron-containing substance, an amount of iron in the iron-containing substance being 50 mol % or less relative to 100 mol % of the monomer component.

Abstract: A pointer controller includes at least one processor; and a display that includes a pointer. The at least one processor is configured to control the display so as to display an elapsed time, switching between (i) a first display mode for display of the elapsed time cumulatively by causing, upon resumption of display, movement of the pointer that inherits a previous display time and (ii) a second display mode for display of the elapsed time non-cumulatively by causing, upon resumption of display, movement of the pointer that does not inherit the previous display time. The movement of the pointer controlled by the at least one processor is such that the first display mode and the second display mode differ from each other in a way of movement that indicates how the pointer moves.
