A distribution management apparatus includes a generator configured to generate still-picture data from content data, a converter configured to convert the still-picture data into video data, and a distributer configured to distribute the video data to each of a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal, which are capable of playing back and displaying the video data. When first operation data indicating an operation of zooming into a partial region of the video data being played back and displayed on the first communication terminal is transmitted, the converter generates video data representing a partial region, which depends on display/playback capabilities of the second communication terminal, of the video data being played back and displayed on the first communication terminal, and the distributer distributes the video data representing the partial region generated by the converter to the second communication terminal.

Distribution management apparatus, distribution method, and program

A distribution management apparatus includes an acquisition unit that acquires terminal management information that indicates locations of multiple communication terminals, a determination unit that determines cutout position information of video data based on the terminal management information acquired by the acquisition unit and operation data received from any one of the communication terminals, a cutout unit that cuts out multiple pieces of video data from the video data based on the cutout position information determined by the determination unit, and a distribution unit that distributes the video data cut out by the cutout unit to each of the communication terminals based on the terminal management information. The determination unit modifies the cutout position information of the video data based on the operation data.

According to one embodiment, coupling capacitance in a state in which a first heat radiation member is arranged between parallel flat plates of a first capacitor formed by a surface of a housing opposed to one surface of a printed circuit board and the printed circuit board is smaller than coupling capacitance in a state in which an integrally formed object having a relative dielectric constant of 5.8 is arranged between the first capacitor to cover a first radiating region containing the controller and the first nonvolatile semiconductor memories.

Semiconductor storage device and method of manufacturing the same

When not receiving the next display-switch starting signal even after a specified time elapses from the application of a previous display driving voltage, a driving unit applies another preparatory driving voltage for generating a preparatory electric field capable of improving the response of colored particles to a driving electric field to an extent so as not to change the arrangement of the colored particles between pixel electrodes and a transparent electrode for a preparatory driving time.

Image display device and control method thereof

A display apparatus is disclosed that includes two opposing substrates, an electrophoretic element arranged between the substrates; pixel electrodes that are arranged on one of the substrates and are divided into pixel groups including at least a first pixel group and a second pixel group, a common electrode that is arranged on the other substrate, and a control unit that controls frame display operations of the pixel groups. The control unit controls the first pixel group to start frame display operations for displaying a frame and then controls the second pixel group to start frame display operations for displaying another frame before the frame display operations of the first pixel group are completed.

Display apparatus using electrophoretic element

A process for aerobic culture in which ammonia and oxygen are simultaneously supplied, comprising: dispersing and supplying air, oxygen, or a mixed gas thereof into a culture tank through a sintered metal membrane attached the end of a diffusing pipe, and simultaneously, dispersing and supplying ammonia or a mixed gas of ammonia and air into the culture tank through a diffusing pipe other than the above diffusing pipe.

Process for aerobic culture using sintered metal membrane

A foam detecting sensor ( ) and an ultrasonic oscillation horn ( ) are mounted on a vertical pipeline between a culture tank ( ) and a liquid-vapor separating device ( ). When overflowed foams are subjected to ultrasonic irradiation, they burst and lose volume. The burst foams have high apparent density as compared to the foams before irradiation. Thus, the concurrent use of ultrasonic oscillation devices ( ) and the liquid-vapor separating device ( ), such as cyclone, leads to an enhanced liquid-vapor separation efficiency and higher productivity by fermentation.
