This technique relates to a receiving device, a receiving method, a providing device, a providing method, a program and a broadcasting system that can notify the receiving side of control information such as the timing to synchronize an application program with progress of a show without using a television broadcast signal. The roll-up doors are configured of panels joined by hinges or are configured from sheets of transparent plastic. The drive subsystem includes a reciprocating motor-driven block engaging the carrier and moving the carrier back and forth in a predetermined longitudinal path extending along a longitudinal axis from an entrance station to a plurality of processing stations in the sample testing machine. The light emitting tube includes insulating walls or inner tubes between the filaments and leads that have openings through which the leads pass, and located along the tube axis in proximity to the inner wall of the light emitting tube. An inclined section that is inclined at the prescribed inner angle Q is also formed in the boundary region. This additional circuit is a passively operated booster circuit that is integrated into the generator and that has no controlled components.
