Abstract: To allow a tubular film having a large opening diameter to be heat-sealed with a short length heater by a function (film width reduction function) that can reduce a size of an opening portion of the tubular film uniformly with a simple structure even when the width reduction operation is performed repeatedly. There is provided a film sealing mechanism provided with an elongated heater and a heater receiver configured to abut against the heater, the heater and heater receiver being disposed opposite, in a direction perpendicular to a position of the feed means, to a tubular film in which content is accommodated and which is fed downward from a film passage port by a feed means such as a feed roller with its both left and right end portions in a width direction supported, so as to be capable of holding outer surfaces of the film therebetween.

Abstract: A folding film cassette including: a cassette base consisting of a first annular body with a substantially L-shaped cross-section that has a hole corresponding to a hole of a toilet in a center thereof and includes a first annular vertical wall onto which a folding film is to be fitted over the outside thereof and a horizontal wall extending outwards from a bottom end of the first annular vertical wall; and a film guide consisting of a second annular body that is detachably mounted onto a top end of the first annular vertical wall onto which the film has been fitted and includes an outer flange, in which the folding film that is retained in the cassette base is expanded from an outer edge of the outer flange of the film guide and fed into the hole of the cassette base.

Abstract: A reproducing apparatus including a reproducing unit for reproducing an SACD held in a reproduction position and outputting an audio signal and also reading disc control information from the SACD when the SACD is held in the reproduction position, and a genre display unit for displaying a genre of a tune recorded on the SACD on a display device based on the disc control information outputted by the reproducing unit. The genre display unit automatically displays the genre on the display device when the reproducing unit outputs the disc control information read from the SACD.

Abstract: An optical disk player includes: an installation judgment part judging whether or not a USB memory has been installed; a stored information judgment part, when the installation judgment part judges that the USB memory has been installed, judging whether or not the USB memory stores reproducible information; and a reproduction execution part, when the stored information judgment part judges that the USB memory stores the reproducible information, reading the reproducible information stored in the USB memory to achieve reproduction.

Abstract: A playback device includes: a USB interface; an information creation section for creating, based on operation in an operation section, information indicating playback sequence for files stored in an external storage device connected to the USB interface; a storage section for storing the created information into the external storage device connected to the USB interface; and a playback section for, based on information stored in an external storage device connected to the USB interface and indicating the playback sequence for the files stored in the external storage device, sequentially playing back the files.

Abstract: An optical disk reproducing device has a system controller that performs a controlling process so that after an optical disk storing still picture data is loaded, when the device is in an apparent stopped state, or while a slide show display using the still picture data is being performed until its end, undecoded still picture data are read from tracks of the optical disk and are decoded, and the decoded still picture data are stored in an SDRAM. When reproduction is started, the system controller reads out the decoded still picture data from the SDRAM for a display device to perform a slide show display.

Abstract: A control unit determines whether a command for programmed reproduction or random reproduction is selected and indicated. If the command is selected, the control unit references table-of-contents (TOC) information of a lead-in area stored as management information of a CD, which is an optical disk, and stored at a radially inner portion. The control unit thus obtains an identification number (a track number) of data stored in the CD at a data area. The control unit then causes a display unit to display a program setting screen toward in a memory unit. The control unit then determines whether the user selects setting the programmed reproduction or the random reproduction. In response to such selection being indicated, from normal reproduction, the programmed reproduction or the random reproduction is performed.
