Provided is a plant operation support apparatus including a plant simulator, a predictor, and a predicted KPI deriver. The plant simulator simulates a state at a current time or a predetermined time of a plant based on information obtained from the plant, to output an estimated value at the current time or the predetermined time of process data in the plant. The predictor predicts a state at a predetermined future time of the plant based on the estimated value and outputs a predicted value of the process data in the plant. The predicted KPI deriver derives a predicted KPI which is an index for monitoring the state at the future time of a task to be monitored in plant operation based on the predicted value.

Since an investigation apparatus is connected through a cable and is remotely operated, the cable may be caught by an obstacle, thereby limiting a movement range of the investigation apparatus. An investigation systemincludes an investigation apparatuswhich moves to a position where an investigation target is investigated, by using a traveling sectionand a support apparatuswhich moves to a position where letting-off and winding of a cablefor an investigation apparatus which is connected to the investigation apparatusare performed, by using a traveling section. The investigation apparatusoutputs an image of the investigation target which is captured by a camera section, to an investigation apparatus controllervia the cablefor an investigation apparatus.

Upon receipt of a music signal from a music-signal input section, a sound-source separating section in a preprocessing section separates the music signal into a plurality of signals in units of the type of audio source. A physical-property converting section changes a physical property of each of the signals on the basis of control information received from a control-information input section. A signal-synthesizing section synthesizes a plurality of output signals outputted from the physical-property converting section, and supplies the resultant signal to a data-compressing section. For example, in compressed data, a high data rate is allocated to a vocal, whereas low data rates are allocated to other parts. As a result, quality improvement can be implemented in auditory perceptibility of a musically important part.

A data reproduction apparatus comprising: a storage unit for storing element data, and the management data including index data dividing the element data into first and second data groups and channel data indicating a first-data-group reproduction order; a management data readout and save unit for reading out and saving the management data; a first-data-group-readout first direction unit for outputting a first readout direction for the first-data-group element data as per the channel data; an input manipulation unit for accepting instruction input to select a reproduction channel of the first-data-group element data; a first-data-group-readout second direction unit for outputting a second readout direction for the first-data-group element data as per the channel data; a first-data-group readout unit for reading out the element data as per either the first or second readout direction; a first-data-group reproduction unit for converting the readout element data into reproduction data; a first-data-group output unit for converting the reproduction data into output data; a second-data-group output judgment unit for judging adequacy of the second-data-group element data output after the first-data-group element data; a second-data-group readout unit for reading out the second-data-group element data upon adequacy judgment; a second-data-group reproduction unit for converting the readout element data into reproduction data; and a second-data-group output unit for converting the reproduction data into output data.
