Abstract: A semiconductor device according to the present disclosure includes: a semiconductor substrate including at least: an n-type first semiconductor layer; an n-type second semiconductor layer on the first semiconductor layer; a p-type third semiconductor layer on the second semiconductor layer; and an n-type fourth semiconductor layer on an upper layer part of the third semiconductor layer; a plurality of first trench gates passing through the fourth to second semiconductor layers to reach an inner side of the first semiconductor layer; and a first main electrode having contact with the fourth semiconductor layer; wherein the plurality of first trench gates are disconnected in an electrode extraction region provided in a center part of the active region where main current flows, and are connected to the first main electrode in a first electrode extraction part connected to the first gate electrode in the disconnected part.

Abstract: An adjacent active trench in an IGBT region and an adjacent capacitance adjustment trench in a diode region are each provided in a stripe shape extending in a Y direction in a plan view. Each of a plurality of crossing trenches extends in an X direction orthogonal to the Y direction in a plan view and is provided in a stripe shape. Each of the plurality of crossing trenches is provided from the adjacent capacitance adjustment trench to the adjacent active trench in a plan view. Therefore, the gate electrode of the adjacent active trench and the capacitance adjustment electrode of the adjacent capacitance adjustment trench are electrically connected via the electrode for the crossing trench in the crossing trench.

Abstract: An electronic pasting method for pasting electronic data in consideration of printed and written data, including updating pasted data when electronic data is updated after it is pasted. The electronic pasting method uses a detecting unit and a paste information updating unit. The detecting unit detects a paste stroke made over two print sheets filled to denote a user's pasting action with which part or whole of a printed matter of electronic document information is pasted on printed matter, then detects the pasting action from a set of paste strokes, thereby obtaining a paste-from document, a paste-to document, and a paste position according to the pasting action detected by the detecting unit. The paste information updating unit updates the e-document, the printed matter information, and the written information according to the above paste information.

Abstract: Provided is an information management method for use in an information management system that includes a coordinate pointing device for identifying a paper medium, and a contents server for managing a digital document, and holds an attribute of the digital document and an attribute of a paper document obtained by printing the digital document on the paper medium, the information management method comprising: judging whether a paper document identified by the coordinate pointing device is a master of a document by referring to an attribute of the paper document; and permitting, when it is judged that the identified paper document is the master of the document, to update information annotated to the identified paper document in a digital document corresponding to the paper document to which the information has been annotated.

Abstract: Provided is an information management system for generating a form handled in a workflow according to a form generated without considering the workflow. The information management system includes a first management server for managing form definition information including definition of a form which is used in a business process workflow. The first management server determines an approval region to be added onto a form received in the form of paper; determines a position where the determined approval region is to be printed on the form; gives an instruction to print the determined approval region at the determined position; and registers definition of the approval region to be printed in the form definition information.

Abstract: A system and a method of managing the action on an electronic document and a paper document are disclosed. The action management system includes a procedure definition information data base for holding the procedure definition specifying the condition for a string of actions constituting the procedure, a procedure matching part for extracting the string of actions coincident with the condition for the procedure definition from the actions managed by the action management system, and a hypothesis information data base for holding the procedure obtained by the procedure matching part and the hypothesis of the action constituting the procedure. The action management system extracts a typical action and a candidate for a non-typical action related to the typical action.
