Abstract: In an image display system for viewing, by a user in a first space, an image of a second space remote from the first space, image data indicating an image acquired by an imaging device placed in the second space is received from the imaging device. A partial image of the image indicated by the received image data is displayed on a display screen in the first space, the partial image having a display size corresponding to the size of the display screen. At least one of the position, the facial direction, the visual line, or the facial position of the user in the first space is detected by a detector. When a detection result of the detector changes while the partial image is being displayed, it is determined which partial image of the image indicated by the image data is to be displayed on the display screen.

Abstract: When a user viewing an image of a conversation partner displayed on a display moves, a displayed image is more easily switched to an image reflecting a position of the user after the movement. When an image of a first user is displayed on a display of a second user, the image of the first user taken by an imaging device and an image of a background taken by the imaging device are acquired, and the acquired images are composited with each other, thereby displaying on the display a composite image in which the first user is positioned in front of the background. Moreover, when a movement of the face of the second user with respect to the display is detected, transition processing of causing the composite image displayed on the display to transition from a state before the detection of the movement of the face is carried out.

Abstract: In a coating apparatus, a nozzle moving mechanism selectively grips any one of a plurality of coating solution nozzles, moves the gripped coating solution nozzle and a solvent nozzle together, and moves at least the solvent nozzle to a solvent suction unit. The moved solvent nozzle is caused to dispense a solvent to the solvent suction unit, and the gripped coating solution nozzle is caused to suck the solvent retained in the same solvent suction unit to which the solvent has been dispensed. Thus, since dispensation and suction of the solvent are done in the same solvent suction unit, the quantity of the solvent used can be held down. Further, a supply line for supplying the solvent does not need to be provided for the suction unit. The construction of the suction unit can therefore be made simple, and its cost can be held down.

Abstract: A 2-shaft gas turbine can suppress an increase in NOx emission from a combustor even when degradation of compressor efficiency occurs due to a decrease in performance with long-term use. The 2-shaft gas turbine has a gas generator and a power turbine, and includes a controller configured to set, in accordance with a degree of degradation of compressor efficiency computed from measured control parameters, a target speed of the gas generator at a level lower than a target speed in a state where degradation of the compressor efficiency has not occurred. The controller is configured to control the rotating speed of the gas generator on the basis of a difference between the target speed thus set and an actual rotating speed.

Abstract: A first feed section supplies a solvent from a first discharge opening formed in a side surface of a nozzle receiving portion. A cylindrical drain flow path is attached to a bottom surface of the nozzle receiving portion.
