Abstract: A pixel having a transistor which controls a current value supplied to a load, a first storage capacitor, a second storage capacitor, and first to fourth switches is included. After the threshold voltage of the transistor is held in the second storage capacitor, a potential in accordance with a video signal is input to the pixel. Voltage obtained by adding a potential in which the potential in accordance with the video signal and the first storage capacitor are capacitively divided to the threshold voltage is held in the second storage capacitor in this manner, so that variation of a current value caused by variations in the threshold voltage of the transistor is suppressed. Thus, desired current can be supplied to the load such as a light-emitting element. In addition, a display device with little deviation from luminance specified by the video signal can be provided.

Abstract: A storage stores content sets in which, when a preceding content is used, a subsequent content is made available after a lapse of certain time. A provider provides, to a user terminal, an available content that is usable by a user among contents within the content sets. A setter sets, when an unused content not having been used by the user among the available contents is first used, a start date and time at which a subsequent content following after the unused content is made available, in association with the subsequent content. A selector selects, according to time remaining until the set start date and time, at least one recommended content from among the available contents. A generator generates a recommendation list in which the selected recommended content is followed by the subsequent content. A presenter presents the generated recommendation list to the user terminal.

Abstract: The development of cracks or breakage in a glass material during production of the glass material by a containerless levitation technique is reduced. A glass material is obtained by heating a levitated block 12 of glass raw material to melting by irradiation of the block 12 of glass raw material with laser light to thus obtain a molten glass and then cooling the molten glass. A first irradiation step and a second irradiation step are performed. In the first irradiation step, the levitated block 12 of glass raw material is heated to melting by irradiating the block 12 of glass raw material with the laser light. In the second irradiation step, an intensity of the laser light being applied to the molten glass is reduced and irradiation with the laser light is then stopped.

The electronic control unit is configured to set the lower limit such that the lower limit becomes a higher value as the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor becomes lower.
