Abstract: A conveying roller contacts and conveys an optical disc toward a position of a spindle motor when the conveying roller is in a first roller position, and does not contact the optical disc when the conveying roller is in a second roller position. A slider places the conveying roller in the first roller position when the slider is in a first operation member position, and places the conveying roller in the second roller position when the slider is in a second operation member position. A first transmission mechanism transmits rotation of a loading motor to the conveying roller. A second transmission mechanism transmits the rotation of the loading motor to the slider. A distribution mechanism engages with each of the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism to distribute the rotation of the loading motor to the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism.

Abstract: An event data recording section 240 records event data related to an activity executed by a plurality of players. A play time acquisition section 212 acquires play times of the plurality of players for a task from event data indicating start of the task included in the activity and event data indicating end of the task included in the activity, the event data being recorded in the event data recording section 240. A statistical processing section 220 sorts each of the players into any one of a plurality of classes according to a skill value of the player and determines, on a basis of the play times of the plurality of players in each class, a representative value for the play times in each class for the task. The statistical processing section 220 aggregates representative values for each class to determine the representative value for the play times in each class for the activity.

Abstract: Techniques are described for presenting selectable tiles on a user interface. In an example, the techniques include providing a graphical user interface, including an immediate selection area and a full selection area, for user interface (UI) elements, some being selectable to launch or resume a corresponding computer application. The techniques also include determining a library of computer applications that a user executed or obtained. The techniques also include selecting a first subset of the library of computer applications a number of items in the first subset being limited. The techniques also include rendering UI elements of the first subset on the graphical user interface in the immediate selection area. The techniques also include identifying a second subset of items from the library. The techniques also include displaying UI elements of the library in the full selection area of the graphical user interface.
