The robot includes a storage unit and a control unit. The control unit acquires outside stimulus feature amounts that are feature amounts of an outside stimulus acting from outside, stores the acquired outside stimulus feature amounts in the storage unit as a history, compares outside stimulus feature amounts acquired at a certain timing with outside stimulus feature amounts stored in the storage unit to calculate a first similarity degree, and controls operations based on the calculated first similarity degree.

A detection device including n number of sensors arrayed in a direction, in which n is an integer of 3 or more and from which (n&#x2212;1) pairs of adjacent sensors are formed, and a processor which determines one specified position in the direction based on output values of the n number of sensors, in which the processor calculates (n&#x2212;1) sets of difference values each of which is a difference between two output values corresponding to each of the (n&#x2212;1) pairs of sensors, and determines the one specified position based on the (n&#x2212;1) sets of difference values and correlation positions corresponding to the (n&#x2212;1) sets of difference values and indicating positions correlated with array positions of each pair of sensors.

Detection device for detecting operation position

An electronic wind instrument is provided with a processor (CPU) and plural touch sensors (a detecting unitand detecting units) disposed along a first direction. A first output variable da/dt is obtained, representing a variation per unit time of an output value from a first sensor (detecting unit) in the plural touch sensors disposed on the side close to first end (tip side) in the first direction. A second output variable dS/dt is obtained, representing a variation per unit time of a sum of output values from second sensors (detecting units) disposed between a second end (heel side) and the first sensor in the first direction. The processor judges based on the first output variable da/dt and the second output variable dS/dt whether a tonging process should be performed.

Electronic wind instrument capable of performing a tonguing process

An information processor includes a recognition section that recognizes a feature of a viewer of content, an acquisition section that acquires a recognition error that occurs when the feature of the viewer is recognized by the recognition section, and a determination section that determines content to be output, on the basis of the acquired recognition error.

The present invention provides a reed for an electronic musical instrument and an electronic musical instrument in which determination of lip position is not susceptible to the influence of noise and the like. In one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic musical instrument is provided with a reed and a plurality of sensor electrodes in the reed, arranged next to one another from a tip side of the reed towards a base side of the reed, each of the sensor electrodes having a center portion projecting towards the tip side of the reed. The lip position of the performer is determined in accordance with the output from the plurality of sensors.

Reed for electronic musical instrument, and electronic musical instrument

An information output device includes an output unit, a recognition unit and a control unit. The output unit outputs a content. The recognition unit recognizes a user. The control unit (i) determines whether the content currently being output by the output unit is suitable for the recognized user, thereby producing a determination result and (ii) changes, on the basis of the determination result, the current output content to a content having the same substance as the current output content but a different playback time from the current output content.

In a new printer, a toner cartridge is mounted in the state where there is no toner in a reserve tank, and toner of the amount of filling toner D therein is supplied with the amount of full accommodation toner E for filling up the reserve tank by a toner supply mechanism. The toner of the amount of remaining surplus toner F remains in the toner cartridge. The amount of toner consumption G is measured by a dot counter during a printing execution. In the case where a toner density sensor detects a toner decreasing, the toner is supplied to a developing unit from the reserve tank. When it becomes G&#x3e;F, it display-informs a user of 'toner cartridge exchange is allowed'. Hereby, it enables to exchange the toner cartridge without stopping operation of the main body of the image forming apparatus using a two-component developer.
