    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress waste and inefficiency to a minimum by executing feedforward correction proceeding to a manufacturing process on the basis of the state of a half-finished product. SOLUTION: The ideal value is assigned to a parameter list corresponding to a finished product. A workpiece is subjected to a first manufacturing process in order to obtain a finished product satisfying the ideal value. The manufacturing process is monitored in order to confirm the state of a half-finished product to the ideal value. On the basis of the state of the half-finished product, feedforward correction proceeding is executed to the manufacturing process, and the workpiece is subjected to a corrected manufacturing process.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the efficiency for the typical operation of a computer by changing adaptively an instant window from a default state window and associating the attribute of the changed window with a specific window action pattern of a user. SOLUTION: The changing progress of the default pattern of a user is monitored and a window pattern of actions and results of the user which is expanded while a 1st operation session is tracked to produce a relation history. In this layout, some of default screen windows are preserved, a new window (circular icon 26) is added and the old windows are erased to reorganize the topology. Thus, an instant window to be displayed is produced during a 2nd operation session by means of an indicated object. The instant window is adaptively changed from a default state window, and the attribute of this changed window is associated with a specific window action pattern of the user which is expanded during the 1st operation session.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain the ability expansion and performance improvement of a television system by providing a touch converter and a transmitter operationally related to a television display and transmitting the output of the touch converter to an external receiver. SOLUTION: In the feedback circuit of a television system 18 of closed loop, the interaction of a viewer concerning display contents or display position is transmitted as a feedback output signal 26 to an external receiver, namely, to a source system 32 by a touch panel overlay 24 and the input of the viewer can be dynamically recognized. Especially, the action of touching a panel is distinguished as related information (namely whether the viewer watches a prescribed station or not) or as information of the display position (namely whether the viewer watches the first, second, third or fourth quadrant of a picture or touches prescribed (x) and (y) display coordinates).
