A data recording apparatus including: a data reading device configured to read data from a first recording medium and configured to store data and first management data for managing the data by file; a data recording device configured to record data on a second recording medium; a management data producing device configured to produce second management data for managing data recorded on the second recording medium based on the first management data of the first recording medium on which the data recorded on the second recording medium has been recorded; a data determining device configured to determine data unrecorded on the second recording medium by comparing the first management data read by the data reading device from the first recording medium with the second management data recorded on the second recording medium; a control device configured to read the data determined by the data determining device from the first recording medium and cause the recording device to record the read data onto the second recording medium; and a display device configured to display the recording status of data, managed by the first management data read by the reading device from the first recording medium, on the second recording medium, wherein the recording status includes one of recording of data complete, recording of data in progress, and recording of data yet to begin.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and information processing apparatuses. The medium stores instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method including automatically reading first management data from a first storage medium. The first management data identifies files of source data stored on the first storage medium. One of the files of source data is automatically identified based on the first management data and second management data. The second management data identifies files of transferred data stored on a second storage medium. The one of the files of source data is absent from the second storage medium and automatically transferred to the second storage medium. The one of the files of source data being transferred becomes one of the files of transferred data. The method further includes automatically displaying transferring status of the one of the files of source data by a symbolic figure.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and information processing apparatuses. The medium stores instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform a method including automatically reading first management data from a first recording medium. The first management data identifies tracks of source data recorded on the first recording medium. One of the tracks of source data is automatically identified based on the first management data and second management data, which identifies files of ripped data recorded on a second recording medium. The one of the tracks of source data is absent from the second recording medium. The one of the tracks of source data is automatically transferred to the second recording medium and becomes one of the files of ripped data. The method further includes automatically displaying transferring status of the one of the tracks of source data by a symbolic figure.

An information processing apparatus including a reading unit, a processor, a transferring unit, and a control unit. The reading unit reads first management data from a first recording medium. The first management data identifies tracks of source data recorded on the first recording medium. The processor compares the first management data with second management data. The second management data identifies files of ripped data recorded on a second recording medium. The transferring unit transfers one of the tracks of the source data, to the second recording medium, when absent from the second recording medium. The control unit controls a display unit to display transferring status by a symbolic figure.

A data recording apparatus recording data of a CD on an HDD in a manner such that the content of record in the CD is faithfully accounted for and shortening an operation time for a synchronized ripping operation. When the data recording apparatus reads, from the CD, track data managed by track, according to TOC, and records the track data onto the HDD, the data recording apparatus recognizes data unrecorded on the HDD, from among the track data recorded on the CD. This recognition process is automatically performed based on the TOC read from the CD, and album information replayed using the TOC and held by the HDD. The recording apparatus reproduces and outputs only the unrecorded data from the CD based on the recognition result concerning the unrecorded data. In this way, the data already recorded on the HDD is not transferred from the CD to the HDD. The operation time for the synchronized ripping operation is reduced accordingly.

The present invention discloses a method for reinforcing the connection between a wire formed on a substrate and a flat cable member with a reinforcing material. The method includes the step of supplying fluid and the step of hardening the fluid to form the reinforcing material. The step of supplying the fluid includes the step of bringing the substrate connecting to the flat cable member close to a jig and then supplying the fluid to a region in which the reinforcing material is to be formed while preventing the outflow of the fluid with the jig.

An audio signal processing apparatus including a plurality of jack units each of which has at least an audio signal contact piece and a control signal contact piece. A control circuit judges a kind of an audio appliance connected to each of the plurality of jack units based on a control signal obtained at the control signal contact piece, and when a function change-over command to select any one of the audio appliances is supplied, a function selecting circuit selects one of the jack units to which the audio appliance is connected. An audio appliance can be connected to any of the plurality of jack units.

Audio signal processing apparatus

An electret transducer in which the electret material is an inorganic insulator sheet with electric charges in it and is juxtaposed to an electrode, and either the sheet or the electrode is mechanically deformable to change the distance between the two, thereby changing the electric charge induced in the electrode by the charged electret sheet. In a preferred form, the electret material comprises a multilayer sheet of insulating materials. The method of forming the transducer includes at least the steps of vapor-depositing a thin layer of inorganic material on a substrate and subjecting the exposed surface of the insulating material to a source of electric charge for a time sufficient to implant charges in the insulating material. If the insulating material is to be deformable, it should be deposited on a thin layer of metal which, in turn, has been deposited on a thicker substrate. A spacer layer of metal is deposited on top of the charged insulating material. Thereafter, selected areas of the substrate and of the spacer layer are chemically removed to leave the thin metal layer and the charged insulating material free of support except around the periphery of such open area. The ability of the insulating material to accept and hold a charge may be improved by depositing the insulating material as two separate layers of different materials, one immediately on top of the other.
