Abstract: An accumulation display device can interlock a display content according to specification of each of the mobile data terminals. An interlocked display system includes an accumulation display device having a metadata interpretation unit that analyzes metadata transmitted by a broadcast wave or a communication network and an accumulated image processing unit that performs accumulation processing of a program content or transmission processing of a restructured program content and managing each mobile data terminal, and the mobile data terminal. Highlights or replays of various scenes of a program currently viewed on the accumulation display device can be viewed on another device. Information on the currently viewed program and a related program as well as a previous scene can be viewed on the mobile data terminal.

Abstract: To provide a system for processing program information in which the display structure of a program table can be freely changed in accordance with a requirement of or the taste of an audience, the system for processing program information is structured to include program information storage means 1 for storing program information, and program table display means 4 for two-dimensionally displaying a program table employing as the two axes, two attributes 102 and 103 selected from among all of the attributes that have been given to each piece of program information, to make the program table 101. For the audience, program tables of various constructions can be displayed on the display means at will and in respective program retrieval operations, a program table that is easy to use to search for a program can be obtained. An specific desired program can be found in a short time by selecting key word(s) related to each program and extracting them from the program or the like.

Abstract: An information method and system enables information, from a set of original information which is updated at regular or irregular intervals, to be provided to each information receiving apparatus of respective users via a data transmission path which can be selected in accordance with the type of data to be transferred, stated preferences of the user with regard to providing of data, current operating status of a data communication network, etc. A set of framework data are selected as data which are rarely updated, by monitoring original information that is to be provided, over a suitably long period, and are stored at the information providing apparatus and each information receiving apparatus.

Abstract: Sanitary ware which strongly resists adhesion of dirt and which may be easily cleaned with a weak flow of water, over a long period of time, comprises a first coloring glaze layer formed on the surface of a ceramic body, a second transparent glaze layer formed on the first glaze layer, and an engobe layer formed between said body surface and said first glaze layer.

Abstract: To display a broadcasting program guide table, in which a group of program guide elements of a broadcasting program guide is arranged in a cell for each broadcasting program guide, a group of particular program guide elements of one broadcasting program guide is selected in an information element selecting unit from a plurality of program guide elements of the broadcasting program guide according to a detail degree input by a user for each broadcasting program guide. The detail degree corresponds to an information volume of the group of particular program guide elements. In a display information table producing unit, a particular layout of a plurality of cells arranged along each display axis is determined according to the detail degree and particular program guide arrangement information stored in advance. The particular program guide arrangement information indicates a guide attribute along each display axis.

Abstract: In a history display method, positional information and type information are extracted from nodes to be displayed on respective metaphors, thereby allowing a user to intuitively comprehend the nodes in a sense of a map of routes followed among information sources. The history holding section 101 reads a history indicating the routes followed by user from the memory unit 105 and holds the history. The history geographical analyzing section 102 analyzes geographical information contained in the history. The history managing section 103 controls the result of the analysis of the history. The history display section 104 displays the history analysis result by use of metaphor display along with a node connection relationship. The novel constitution provides the user with a new clue namely geographical information for accessing desired nodes and displays the history on a map metaphor, thereby allowing the user to intuitively comprehend the nodes in a sense of a map of routes followed among information sources.

Abstract: When various pieces of information relating to a particular page are received, pieces of link information (or items) respectively indicating a link relationship between the particular page and a reference page are extracted from the pieces of information, a positional relationship among the items is managed in a link managing unit, and a two-dimensional map indicating a relative positional relationship between each pair of items is prepared according to the positional relationship among the items in a two-dimensional map preparing unit. Also, an image of the pieces of information is prepared in an image preparing unit, and the image in which the items are included is displayed on an image displaying unit. Thereafter, when a user input an instruction indicating a change of a remarked item, a particular item placed on an upper, lower, right or left side of the remarked item is automatically specified according to the two-dimensional map and is selected.

Abstract: A method of producing a porous material having open pores including stirring a mixture including (i) an epoxy compound having at least one epoxy ring in the compound, (ii) a hardener capable of reacting with the epoxy compount to harden the epoxy compound, (iii) a filler and (iv) water to form an emulsion slurry having a low viscosity and containing the soluble salts uniformly dispersed therein, casting the resulting emulsion slurry in a water impermeable mold and then hardening the slurry while maintaining the water content thereof, and wherein the soluble salts are added to the mixture. The method makes it possible to produce a large scale porous material having open pores and a complicated shape whose shrinkage factor during hardening and water and air permeabilities are controlled to desired levels respectively while scattering thereof is reduced.

Abstract: A filler for patterning of ceramics product, comprising a slip composed mainly of a ceramics base material having a binder and a pigment added therein formed into particulate.
