A reading system includes an evaluation value acquirer and a determining processor. The evaluation value acquirer is configured to acquire, with regard to a reading device configured to perform wireless communication with an electronic tag attached to each of one or more items by using a radio wave as a medium to read item information on each of one or more items, an evaluation value about at least one of: the number of times; a time interval; or a frequency, of reading the item information for each of at the one or more items. The determining processor is configured to determine, for each of the one or more items, whether or not each of the one or more items is an object to be read based on a change in the evaluation value over time.

A (meth)acrylic resin composition containing a (meth)acrylic polymer (P) and a phosphorus atom-containing compound (C), where the (meth)acrylic polymer (P) contains: (1) a repeating unit derived from methyl methacrylate at 19.95 to 84.95% by mass; (2) a repeating unit derived from a (meth)acrylic acid ester (M) having an aromatic hydrocarbon group or an alicyclic hydrocarbon group having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms in a side chain at 15.0 to 80.0% by mass; and (3) a repeating unit derived from a monomer (B) having two or more vinyl groups at 0.05 to 0.40% by mass, and an amount of the phosphorus atom-containing compound (C) with respect to 100 parts by mass of the (meth)acrylic polymer (P) being 5.0 to 35 parts by mass or less.

(Meth)acrylic resin composition and resin molded article

A headphone includes a speaker casing and a headband. The speaker casing has a main speaker unit and a support member that supports the main speaker unit. The speaker casing is connected to the headband, and the headband is to be placed on a head of a user. The support member supports the main speaker unit with a main plane of the main speaker unit being positioned at an angle ranging from 10&#xb0; to 30&#xb0; inclusive with respect to a main plane of the support member, so that the main plane of the main speaker unit faces a side of an ear lobe of the user.

In a conventional headphone set, there is a possibility that a headband cannot be put in a suitable position when an ear pad is snugly mounted on an ear. A headphone set of this disclosure includes speaker units which output a sound. The headphone set also includes: speaker housings which are brought into contact with a user; connecting portions which are connected to the speaker housings in a state where the speaker housings are movable in a forward and rearward direction of the user; and a headband which has connecting portions on end portions thereof and is mounted on a head of the user in directions toward a crown of the head of the user. Due to such a constitution, the headphone set can be used in a more stable manner.

Headphone set

Provided is an image display device provided with an image display unit for displaying a still image or a moving image, an image capturing unit for capturing the image in a direction in which the image display unit displays the image on the image display unit, and a face detection unit for performing, at predetermined intervals, face detection processing for detecting a face included in the image captured by the image capturing unit, wherein the predetermined intervals are variable according to whether or not the face of a user is included in the image captured by the image capturing unit, and when the position of the detected face does not change for a predetermined period of time in the face detection processing, the face detection unit does not detect the face as the face of the user.

Image display device, control method and computer program

An information processing system includes: a physical measurement apparatus measuring the body of a user and radio-transmitting measurement data; and an information processing apparatus receiving the measurement data radio-transmitted from the physical measurement apparatus, displaying information on the measurement data of the user on a screen, and displaying a notice prompting the user to conduct measurement when no measurement data is received by a predetermined time for measurement.

Information processing system and information processing apparatus

A lens barrelaccording to the present invention includes: a lens groupwhich moves along an optical axis direction; and a lens holding frameholding a lens group. A guide holeis provided in the lens holding frame, the guide holebeing penetrated by a main shafthaving a circular cross section. A cross section of the guide holetaken orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the main shaftincludes at least two linear portions, and the main shaftis in contact with the two linear portions

The risk of a third party able to conduct pairing is reduced, and operation is also made simple. In Sthe radio wave strength of a pairing signal received first is measured and retained. In Sthe message 'Come a little closer' is displayed. In Sit is determined from the radio wave strength whether or not the current distance is within a given range with respect to an instructed distance. In Sit is determined whether or not the number of determinations in which the current distance is determined to be within the given range has reached a set number of determinations. In a second determination the message 'Now move away a little' is displayed. If the second determination becomes positive, S(pairing registration) is performed.

Wireless communication apparatus and wireless communication method

A remote control apparatus is disclosed, which radio transmits a control command from a remote controller to a reception apparatus connected to an electronic device which is an apparatus under control. The reception apparatus stores a first identification information which represents a destination remote controller. When the remote controller issues a pairing start command, the remote control apparatus transmits a pairing request containing second identification information of the remote controller itself. The reception apparatus extracts the second identification information from the received pairing request and decides that the remote controller is a pairing party if the first identification information matches the second identification information. The reception apparatus transmits a pairing response containing third identification information of the reception apparatus itself to the remote controller.

Remote controlling apparatus, reception apparatus, and remote control method

Remote control data is securely transmitted to a device under control. A remote control device transmits an acknowledge request for A ch to the device under control (S). When the device under control has assigned A ch as the reception channel, acknowledge ACK is received. A ch is assigned as the transmission channel (S), and a command frame is transmitted through A ch (S). When acknowledge ACK has not been received, an acknowledge request for B ch is transmitted to the device under control (S). When the device under control has assigned B ch as the reception channel, acknowledge ACK is received. B ch is assigned as the transmission channel (S), and a command frame is transmitted through B ch (S). The remote control device can transmits a command through a channel through which the device under control can receive the command, so that secure remote control can be accomplished.

Communication apparatus and communication system

A remote controlling system is disclosed. An infrared remote controller generates a first serial signal containing a command corresponding to a user's operation and outputs the first serial signal by infrared communication. A radio remote controller generates a code signal containing a key number corresponding to a user's operation and outputs the code signal by radio communication. An electronic device includes a light receiving section, a radio receiving section, a selecting section, and a controlling section.

Remote controlling system, electronic device, and controlling method

A remote controlling apparatus for a remote controlling system of wireless communication type is disclosed. The remote controlling apparatus includes a broadcasting section, a receiving section, a detecting section, and a setting section. The broadcasting section broadcasts a predetermined signal in a lower transmission output state than in a regular communication state. The receiving section receives acknowledge and reception state electric field intensity information from at least one device under remote control. The detecting section detects a device under remote control having highest reception state electric field intensity as a nearest device. The setting section sets the nearest device as an object device under remote control.
