Abstract: An information managing apparatus includes an acquiring unit, a condition setting unit, a condition judging unit and a correlating unit. The acquiring unit acquires information from storage unit which stores information therein. The condition setting unit sets a condition on at least one layer of a file system. Information to be correlated with the at least one layer satisfies the condition as the information locates under the at least one layer. The condition is referred along with an attribute value of one or a plurality of lower layers provided under the at least one layer. The correlating unit correlates the acquired information with a lower layer if the condition judging unit judges that the acquired information satisfies the set condition when the attribute value of the lower layer is referred to. The lower layer corresponds to the condition judged to be satisfied by the condition judging unit.

Abstract: A planetary gear mechanism of the invention includes a housing, an input shaft that has an eccentric portion whose center lies on an eccentric axis that is displaced from an axis of input and output shafts, and is supported by the housing to be rotatable about the axis of the input and output shafts relative to the housing, an oscillating face plate that eccentrically oscillates via the eccentric portion, such that its rotation relative to the housing is restricted, and an output shaft to which an internally toothed gear that internally contacts and meshes with an externally toothed gear formed on the oscillating face plate is mounted, and which is rotatable about the axis of the input and output shafts relative to the housing. As the input shaft rotates, a circumferential position at which the externally toothed gear and the internally toothed gear mesh with each other changes, and rotation of the input shaft is delivered at a reduced speed to the output shaft.

Abstract: An editing device and editing method are provided for which it is possible for the operator to immediately recognize whether trim edit is possible or not at the stage of selecting the trim points, and eliminate unnecessary work. The editing device includes receiving means for receiving command input for trim editing; judging means for judging whether trim editing is possible or not based on the command input received by the receiving means; and notification means for outputting notification that editing is not possible when the judging means judges that editing is not possible.

Abstract: It is possible to obtain preferable recording characteristic and reproduction characteristic by considering irregularities of unique characteristics of an LD or the like mounted on an information recording and reproduction apparatus as well as characteristics of an optical disc used. In the information recording and reproduction apparatus, a light source such as a laser diode is driven by a laser drive signal so that a laser beam for recording or reproduction is emitted from the light source. Moreover, the laser drive signal is superimposed by a high-frequency signal of a predetermined frequency so as to eliminate effect of the return light from the optical disc. The information recording and reproduction apparatus superimposes the high-frequency signal by using a high-frequency signal level during recording which is different from a high-frequency signal level during reproduction.

Abstract: Method of production of glass fabric that does not exhibit surface hairiness, that is sufficiently close-woven, with which printed circuits with a high degree or rigidity can be realized, as well at supply of a glass fabric, prepreg and print circuits. Glass fabric (40) woven from warp yarn (20) and weft yarn (30) containing multiple glass filaments; in relation to the warp yarn (20) and the weft yarn (30), at least one of the two has not undergone twisting and the profile of its glass filament has been flattened. Since between warp yarn (20) and weft yarn (30), at least one of the two has not undergone twisting, it is possible to limit the surface hairiness and at the same time to obtain that the fabrics arm separated and uniformly distributed during the weaving operation also without performing a specific treatment of uniform fibers redistribution.
