Abstract: A mobile phone includes a display, a touch panel provided on the display, etc., and can be set with a lock state. In a case that the lock state is set, a lock screen including a lock object is displayed on the display. Upon receipt of a mail, notification information of a newly-arrived mail is recorded in a notification table and the notification information of the newly-arrived mail is displayed in a notification area of the lock screen. If a user performs a sliding operation after touching the lock object, and then releases from the lock object within the notification area, the lock state is canceled, and a mail function is performed such that the above-described newly-arrived mail is displayed.

Abstract: A semiconductor device that improves the heat cycle resistance and power cycle resistance of a power module. An electrode member in which copper posts are formed in a plurality of perforations cut in a support made of a ceramic material is soldered onto a side of an IGBT where an emitter electrode is formed. By soldering the copper posts onto the electrode, heat generated in the IGBT is transferred to the electrode member and is radiated. In addition, even if a material of which the IGBT is made and copper differ in thermal expansivity, stress on a soldered interface is reduced and distortion is reduced. This suppresses the appearance of a crack. As a result, the heat cycle resistance and power cycle resistance of a power module can be improved.

Abstract: A processor (30) of a mobile terminal (10) that is one example of a camera apparatus detects a face image of a person image (58) in an object image displayed on a display (14) prior to an imaging key (26) is operated, and displays a face mark (60) at a portion of the face of each person image. A user selects arbitrary one or more person image out of the person images onto each of which the face mark is displayed as a zoom processing target by operating an operating portion such as a GUI. A selection mark (62) is applied to a person image that the user selects. A zooming-up and/or down (zoom processing) is performed such that the object image including the person image onto which the selection mark is applied is rendered to a predetermined composition.
