Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide an digital personal assistant with easy operationality when transitioning operation pages. A variety of operation pages can be displayed selectively on a liquid crystal display panel 12 having a touch panel 12a. A control switch 13 is supported to be able to be rotated in a predetermined angle range and pushed-in at the reference position of said rotation. An operation signal is sent out in response to the turn or push in operation of the control switch. A CPU 21 judges whether the touch panel is touched or the control switch is operated. When it is judged that the touch panel is touched, the CPU allows the first page transition to be done whereby the operation page displayed on the liquid crystal display panel is transitioned in accordance with the touch operation.

Abstract: A side controller supported so as to be capable of oscillating within a predetermined range and capable of pushing is disposed on the side face of a PDA, a current page displayed on a display part is controlled to scrolled in a first direction by oscillating operation of the side controller, a current page is transferred to a predetermined processing mode to display a screen page corresponding to the processing mode by prolonged pushing operation of the side controller for a time longer than a predetermined time, a current page is transferred to a screen page other than a predetermined screen page, for example, a current page is transferred to a processing mode unrelated to a operating button displayed on the current page, for prolonged pushing operation of the side controller long time, further, a list of reply mail sentences which is input beforehand is displayed as a screen page of a list of reply mail sentences by activation of a sending mode for sending a reply mail to a received mail when a mail screen

Abstract: Recording section stores time-varying frames of dynamic picture image information and a frame of still picture image information into a same storage area of a image storage section together in a mixed manner. Reproducing section identifies the individual frames of the dynamic picture image information and the still picture image information stored in the image storage section and then reproduces the identified frames of the dynamic picture image information and the still picture image information at reproduction speeds that are set separately for the dynamic picture image information and the still picture image information.

Abstract: Predetermined travel locuss are set in a three-dimensional virtual space. Menu panels for displaying menu items are arranged along the travel locuss assuming a display position set as a local origin so that the normal to each LCD panel will face a virtual camera. The transparency of a menu panel is raised in accordance with its distance to the virtual camera. In case a scroll operation is performed, menu panels are moved along the travel locuss connecting display positions P until a selected specific menu panel reaches the display position P0. A display screen on a portable information terminal is drawn as a screen image V shot with the virtual camera and menu panels are three-dimensionally displayed in rolls.

Abstract: For enabling simultaneous reproduction of a plurality of dynamic picture image information which have been recorded separately, the plurality of dynamic picture image information are separately recorded in a plurality of storage areas in a DRAM. The plurality of dynamic picture image information are disposed in different display areas on the same screen and reproduced simultaneously with reproduction points of the respective dynamic picture image information being timewise matched by a reproduction point designation section with respect to all of the dynamic picture image information.

Abstract: A stereophonic sound field generation device includes a left side localized reflected sound generation circuit which generates a left channel reflected sound signal and a left channel cancel signal for realizing an outside-of-speaker localization of the left channel reflected sound signal. The left side localized reflected sound generation circuit includes a delay circuit and a coefficient generator. By variously setting delay time of the delay circuit 140 and multiplication coefficient of the coefficient generator with respect to each reflected sound, at least one reflected sound in a broad listenable range can be localized in a space outside of a left channel speaker even when a listener moves his listening position.

Abstract: There is described a device for forming a deposited film on a substrate in a vacuum chamber through utilization of reaction between a gasifiable starting material for formation of a deposited film and a gaseous halogenic oxidizing agent having the property of oxidization action for the gasifiable starting material which has a gas introducing means comprising a pipe for introducing said gasifiable starting material and a pipe for introducing said gaseous halogenic oxidizing agent where the pipes are arranged in a multi-concentric structure and at least one of the pipes except the outermost pipe is constituted of a porous pipe or has a hole opened through the wall thereof and the outermost pipe has at least one opening oriented toward the substrate.

Abstract: A reflective solar cell substrate comprising a base member composed of a metallic material provided with irregularities at the surface thereof and a buffer layer disposed on said base member so as to cover the entire of said irregularities at the surface of said base member, said buffer layer being composed of a substantially transparent or translucent and conductive material, said buffer layer being provided with irregularities at the surface thereof, and said irregularities at the surface of said buffer layer comprising a plurality of thickened convex portions and a plurality of thinned concave portions, said portions being alternately arranged. The reflective solar cell substrate reflects light reaching the substrate without being absorbed by the optically active layer at an effective angle, whereby the solar cell exhibits improved photovoltaic characteristics.

Abstract: An electronic system pocketbook apparatus includes a foldable and portable main body, an expansion card holder mounted on the main body, a necessary number of expansion cards held by the expansion card holder, and a communicating unit. The main body has a functions of right and left portions coupled by a cover, is folded upon carrying of the main body so that the right portion overlaps the left portion, a folded portion being fastened by a cover clip provided to the cover, and has basic functions of controlling arithmetic operations and display data processing by using an internal controller, data inputting means, and displaying data on a display unit. The communicating unit performs data transmission/reception between the held expansion cards and the main body via the expansion card holder.

Abstract: A photosensor has a photoconductive member. The photoconductive member has a structure comprising a laminated product consisting of functional thin films superposed on one another. The laminated product comprises at least two functional thin films. The functional thin film containing 10 atomic % or less of hydrogen. The band gaps and conduction types and/or conductivity of the functional thin films are controlled to provide high photo sensitivity.

Abstract: A method for forming deposited film by introducing into a reaction space a gaseous starting material for formation of a deposited film and a gaseous halogenic oxidizing agent having the property of oxidation action for said starting material to effect chemical contact therebetween to thereby form a plural number of precursors including precursors under excited state, and forming said deposited film on a substrate previously position in a film forming space spatially communicated with said reaction space with the use of at least one precursor of these precursors as the feeding source for the constituent element of said deposited film, said method comprising the step of increasing the proportion of the amount of said gaseous starting material introduced relative to the amount of said gaseous halogenic oxidizing agent introduced in said reaction space.
