To enable routing control to be easily performed in a video system. Signal output equipment generates and outputs a digital signal for transmission in which the digital signal includes a video signal and a predetermined number of identification information groups related to the video signal. A routing unit outputs an inputted digital signal for transmission to a predetermined signal output unit on the basis of at least any identification information included in the predetermined number of identification information groups.

In response to a request, one of primary content data as a copyrighted work and incidental content data is received from a server. With a music editing and sharing application, the content data is used in a secondary usage fashion for editing in order to produce new incidental content data. The incidental content data is not the one that is produced by arranging directly the primary content data as an editing material but play control information for giving an instruction defining a play mode. The incidental content data is uploaded to an incidental content server.

A C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 as an insoluble azo pigment is provided. This C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 is crystalline particles. The ratio (26.6&#xb0;/11.7&#xb0;) of a diffraction intensity of a peak at 26.6&#xb0; to a diffraction intensity of a peak at 11.7&#xb0; in terms of Bragg angle (2&#x3b8;&#xb1;0.2&#xb0;) as measured by powder X-ray diffraction using CuK &#x3b1;-radiation is 0.85 to 1.12, and the average primary particle size is 20 to 130 nm. The use of this C.I. Pigment Yellow 74 as a colorant in a coloring composition enables to provide the coloring composition with excellent dispersibility and good particle size stability and storage stability compared with conventional pigments. The use of this coloring composition enables the formation (recording) of images having excellent clarity and transparency of such high levels that have not been achievable by conventional technologies.

An information processing system includes a terminal device and a server device. When recommending subsidiary contents, recommended contents are extracted at the server, and recommended content information is returned to the terminal device. At the terminal device, a recommendation order is set regarding the recommended contents which the recommended content information indicates, upon which the recommended contents are presented, such that recommended content extracting processing and recommendation order setting processing is dispersed among the server device and terminal device.

Information processing system and information processing method

An information processing device includes: a storage management unit configured to store and manage content files; a metadata obtaining unit configured to obtain metadata of a recommendation source content; a content selecting unit configured to select, from content files managed by the storage management unit, recommended contents to be recommended to a recommendation-receiving user, based on metadata obtained by the metadata obtaining unit; an information obtaining unit configured to obtain held content information, which is information regarding held content files which a recommendation-receiving user is deemed to hold; and a recommendation order setting unit configured to set a recommendation order, regarding recommended contents selected by the content selecting unit, based on metadata added to held content files indicated by the held content information obtained by the information obtaining unit.

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit, an incoming data determining unit, and an audio processing command generator. The communication unit communicates with an external apparatus that splits outgoing audio data and sequentially sends transmission audio signals, each signal having a header and transmission audio data containing some of the split audio data with an appended first counter. The incoming data determining unit determines the existence of continuity-related errors in a received transmission audio signal, on the basis of the first counter, as well as a second counter contained in the header. The audio processing command generator selectively generates an audio processing command on the basis of the determination results in the incoming data determining unit, wherein the audio processing command stipulates audio data playback processing to be conducted in the event of an error.

Incidental content as metadata contains one of primary content and usage editing material content information. The primary content has been used directly as an editing material in a secondary usage mode fashion in order to produce the incident content data and the usage editing material content information indicates the incidental content. A generation structure is recognized by back-tracking content serving as a parent by referencing usage editing material content starting with given incidental content, based on the usage editing material content information of each incidental content.

System, apparatus, and program for distributing incidental content

An information processing system configured to include at least an open server apparatus and a terminal apparatus communicable with each other through a network is disclosed. The system includes: an opening mode setting means for setting an opening mode; a transmitted content information creating means for creating content information including at least body information and predetermined additional information; a content information storing means for storing content information; a content information upload control means for transmitting content information; and an opening mode determining means for determining an opening mode of the content information stored in the content information storing means.

A method of displaying an ultrasonic image and an apparatus for ultrasonic diagnosis of this invention are capable of displaying C-mode ultrasonic image without the need of a probe moving mechanism and a probe movement controller. The linear images produced from the B-mode image data sampled along the scanning planes P(y1,t1).about.P(y5,t5) and in the constant depth z1 are displayed by being arrayed in the order of sampling times t of each linear image.
