A brain dysfunction assessment device () comprises: a body movement indicator () which presents a body movement to be performed to a subject with a body movement presentation device (); a body movement data acquisition unit () which acquires the subject's body movement data with a body movement detection sensor (); a body movement accuracy calculation unit () which calculates a positional accuracy and a time sequence accuracy of the subject's body movement from the acquired body movement data; and a cognitive dysfunction assessment unit () which assesses the level of cognitive dysfunction of the subject by comparing a value which indicates the accuracy of the subject's body movement that is obtained from the calculated positional accuracy and time sequence accuracy with statistical data which indicates the accuracy of body movement of healthy individuals.

Brain dysfunction assessment method, brain dysfunction assessment device, and program thereof

In digital broadcast recording for automatically recording broadcasts on a channel selected from a plurality of digital broadcast programs on a recording medium, in accordance with a booking that is performed by specifying a time zone and giving a command to record a stream of broadcast contents on the user-selected channel during the time zone, the stream of broadcast contents on the channel is recorded, separated into a plurality of units for the programs broadcasted during the time zone. Thus, the recorded stream can be handled program by program in a later editing or playback operation, despite that it was recorded by booked recording for which only the time zone was specified, and thus the user-friendliness is improved.

Method of recording multiple programs over a specified time period in separate program data files

The broadcast receiver that incorporates an HDD as a recording medium and records programs on the recording medium, when recording a program on the recording medium, determines whether the program content is prohibited from being copied afterward. If it is determined that the program content is prohibited from being copied afterward, the receiver divides the program content into segments of data size falling, for example, within the range between 45 sec. and 60 sec., as time taken to play back the data at 1&#xd7; speed, and stores the segments into a plurality of files, respectively. Even in case of accidental disconnection of the device power or network interface, it becomes possible to positively move content that was once recorded on a recording medium to another external device and recording medium under the conditions prescribed for copyright protection.

Broadcast receiver, program recording method and program product

A television signal receiving apparatus which can read program information relevant to a television program from an optical disk medium, interlocked with the television program and can reproduce and display the read program information. Program information (broadcasting information including program names, broadcasting channel names and broadcasting dates and times and appendant information relevant to the contents of the programs) relevant to the television programs to be displayed by the television receiver/display is recorded in the optical disk medium. When a user instructs a display of the program information by the selection and decision input unit, the television control unit transmits the display request and time information from the clock apparatus to the control unit of the optical disk unit. The control unit makes the appendant information to be reproduced from the optical disk medium, by using the broadcasting channel name and the time information as retrieval information. The appendant information is sent to the television receiver/display through the interface and is displayed in a picture and sound.

Television signal receiving apparatus incorporating an information

A television apparatus with a built-in optical disk device for reproducing a video signal recorded on an optical disk to make a display. By disposing the optical disk device apart from the high voltage generating section of the television apparatus and an anode electrode of a cathode-ray tube and shielding the optical disk device, influence of dust and noise is reduced. Simultaneously, by reading out a video signal and information concerning the video signal, and optimally controlling video display of the video signal, setting is conducted so as to make flicker at the time of still picture display and block noise and mosquito noise at the time of motion picture display inconspicuous. Video images supplied from the optical disk are thus displayed with a satisfactory quality.

Television apparatus with built-in optical disk device

A tape cassette comprising an insertion opening disposed in a main body case and a detecting optical path, for detecting the leading and rear ends of a tape, interposed between the insertion opening and an optical path window formed in the left and right side walls of the case, wherein a first distinguishing member, rotatably inserted into an upper portion of the insertion opening, is supported to be vertically slidable, and a mechanism for holding the first distinguishing member in each state is disposed between the first distinguishing member and the main body case, thereby to allow a tape deck to have a simple internal construction even though the tape cassette is of a smaller size, and to provide a construction of the detecting opening preferable for detecting cassette information so that the tape cassette can be used in a compatible form.
