PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make access times shorter as compared with those in the conventional practices when this method is applied in a tape streamer backing up, for example, data of server or the like as to a magnetic recording and reproducing device, a tape cassette management device and an information processing system. SOLUTION: This method manages unitarily management data needed for access of respective magnetic tapes by the host device of a magnetic recording and reproducing device to notify the magnetic recording and reproducing device of the management data.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a remote control apparatus, a remote control method, and a program thereof capable of remotely controlling a plurality of object apparatuses, without the need for adding functions to a plurality of the object apparatuses at all. SOLUTION: The remote control apparatus recognizes a character string from an image of an apparatus imaged by a camera section 101, particularizes a remote control object apparatus, on the basis of the recognized character string by referencing an apparatus information database 108, sets an operating section 105 to be an operating section for the particularized apparatus, and outputs a remote control infrared ray signal to the specified apparatus through the operation of the operating section. Thus, the user has only to image the apparatus to readily apply remote control to a plurality of apparatuses, without the need for adding functions to the apparatuses at all.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To specify a state of all processors and an external event on the basis of a fact and to securely and speedily find and remove the error of a program in a multiprocessor system. SOLUTION: A reverse direction execution means 32 acquires information on execution of the program during execution of the program, and it is accumulated in a resource buffer 36 through a resource buffer management means 35. When a stop instruction arrives from a main processor, present time showing stop time in a sub-processor is acquired and a delay time measuring means calculates delay time from original time and present time. The reverse direction execution means returns processing to past point of time for the portion of delay time and stop timing of the main processor and that of the sub-processor are made to match each other.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately find the origin position of a rotating body only by simplified adjustment by respectively providing a rotating stopper section and a butting section to the rotating side and the fixing side of rotating motion and then recognizing the origin based on these sections. SOLUTION: At the time of initial setting, each axis of the horizontal and vertical axes is rotated and each butting section 430 is placed in contact with each rotating stopper section 63e. This rotation is conducted at a low speed not to give any impact force and for the control of motor, an upper limit of torque is set, the shaft is rotated with such rotating torque and whether the shaft is in contact with the stopper section 63e or not is determined by detecting no change of position within the setting time. When the butting section 340 is placed in contact with the stopper section 63e, it returns in the direction b only by 1mm and this position is recognized as the origin. Since a sensor output is not yet used, the relative positioning can be done with higher accuracy and a small error can be absorbed by changing a returning amount from the contact position.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To flexibly correspond to the change of a link structure by generating a program where a coordinate conversion processing and the handling of work tools are mentioned based on a program where the link structure of a robot is mentioned. CONSTITUTION:A module constitution programming unit 23 is provided for generating a module constitution program where the link structure of the robot 1 is mentioned. A link parameter mentioning the relation of coordinate systems is mentioned in respective joint axes and a conversion factor on a unit system between a mechanical system and an electric system are mentioned in the module constitution program. At the time of compiling, the link parameter is fetched after the terms of the program is analyzed and grammar is analyzed, homogeneous conversion matrixes for respective joints are calculated and the conversion factor is fetched and stored in an arm information recording part. A conversion function becoming the solution of a forward athletic learning problem and an inverse athletic leaning problem is obtained based on said information and a conversion program is generated, Whereby it is transferred to a numerical controller 2.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology whereby a user can easily view proper contents information. SOLUTION: A terminal 13 provides a road guide service to a user on the basis of a destination entered by the user riding on an automobile, calculates information such as a required time up to the destination, makes wireless communication of information related to the movement with a base station 14, and supplies the information to a home server 11 via a network 12. When the home server 11 acquires the information related to the movement from the terminal 13 via the network 12, the home server 11 selects contents 31 provided to the user on the basis of the information and supplies the selected contents 31 to the terminal 13 via the network 12. The technology above is applicable to e.g. cell computing systems. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image pick-up display and a video conference system which improve the presence without complicating the instrument configuration and enable user's to make natural talking. SOLUTION: A user's image is made incident into a mirror M1 surrounding the user. The image is reflected in a mirrors M2 and M3 and imaged by an image pick-up portion 304. Moreover, the image of all the periphery around a communication partner is projected from an optical projection 305, reflected in a half mirror 306 and the mirrors M3 and M2, and projected on the mirror M1 surrounding the user. As a result, it can display image pick-up pictures of the communication partner in various directions on the mirror M1 surrounding the user, so that as fresh realistic sensation as ever can be produced.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate round about routing of extension harness by detecting this origin as the moving reference of a horizontal moving body, limit position in the origin size which will become the allowable limit point of the ordinary movement of the horizontal moving body and limit point in the end side. SOLUTION: A plurality of consoles A to D are coupled with an auto-changer body. The consoles A to D arranged in one end side and the consoles A to D arranged in the other end side are respectively provided with an optical shutter plate as a detection object in the origin size and an optical shutter plate 406 as a detection object in the end side. Each optical shutter plate has a small width shielding section and a large width shielding section and these shielding sections are arranged at the position passing the detection area of a couple of horizontal position detector sensors 403, 404. The horizontal moving body 30 during the initial operation is located at the origin, defining the limit position in the origin side and the limit position in the end side are defined as the allowable limit point of usual movement of the horizontal moving body 30.
