By recognizing visual trigger events to determine start points and/or end points of voice data signals, the negative effects of noise on voice recognition may be significantly minimized. The visual trigger events may be predetermined gestures and/or predetermined postures of a user captured by a camera, which allow a system to appropriately focus attention on a user to optimize the receipt of a voice command in a noisy environment. This may be accomplished through the assistance of visual feedback complementing the voice feedback provided to the system by the user. Since the visual trigger events are predetermined gestures and/or postures, the system may be able to distinguish which sounds produced by a user are voice commands and which sounds produced by the user is noise that in unrelated to the operation of the system.

A gaming system includes one or more input devices, audio output devices, visual display devices, and information processors. At least one visual display device visually depicts a plurality of visual presentations and at least one audio output device renders audio selectively mixed from corresponding audio components of the visual presentations. At least one processor receives and processes information from at least one input device to determine a region of focused attention by the player with respect to the visual display devices. Using the region of focused attention, a corresponding primary visual presentation is determined from the plurality of visual presentations. The corresponding audio components of the plurality of presentations are selectively mixed such that the audio component of the primary visual presentation is dominant on at least one audio output device. The plurality of visual presentations may also be rearranged or altered to visually highlight the primary visual presentation.

When a dual-screen display mode is performed, two images based on two image signals, respectively, are simultaneously displayed in display regions of a display unit. If a presenter desires viewers to focus attention on one of the two images, a projector differentiates display manners of the images to be displayed, between one display region and the other display region. For example, if the presenter desires the viewers to focus attention on one image, the projector performs image processing for causing the other image to be displayed in an unhighlighted manner. As the image processing on this occasion, if the two images are both color images, the projector converts only the other image from the color image to a monochrome image.

By focusing attention on SREBP-1 gene, the relationship between this gene and the degree of unsaturation in beef body fat is examined. As a result, it is found out that this gene occurs as an “L-type” gene having a longer fifth intron and an “S-type” gene having a fifth intron shorter by 84 bases than the above one and these genotypes relate to the degree of unsaturation in beef body fat. A method of evaluating the content of unsaturated fatty acids in beef body fat based on these SREBP-1 genotypes is applicable to the evaluation of beef taste, texture and so on and, therefore, is industrially useful.

A present invention reduces the generation of periodic uneven print density in the image in a main scanning direction. The present invention focuses attention on a fact that, when a printing head including a plurality of nozzle arrays for ejecting different inks is used to print an image and when the same pixel is printed by a combination of nozzle arrays in which an interval in the main scanning direction is relatively short, the displacement of ink impact positions is smaller when compared to a case where the same pixel is printed by a combination of nozzle arrays in which an interval in the main scanning direction is relatively long. Thus, a dot arrangement pattern allocated to the pixel data is selected so that the same pixel is printed by a combination of nozzle arrays in which an interval in the main scanning direction is relatively short.
