Abstract: A semiconductor memory device comprises a first memory cell and a second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device is configured to be able to perform: a first operation which is a read operation or the like to the first memory cell; and a second operation which is a read operation or the like to the second memory cell. The semiconductor memory device transitions to a standby mode after performing the first operation in response to an input of a first command set and a second command set. The semiconductor memory device performs a charge share operation after the standby mode is released in response to an input of a third command set and a fourth command set during the standby mode. The semiconductor memory device performs the second operation using at least a part of an electric charge generated when the first operation is performed.

Abstract: Provided is a process for preparing an immobilized enzyme, which comprises the steps of immobilizing an enzyme used for decomposing oil & fat on a carrier, by adsorption, without drying, bringing the immobilized enzyme into contact with a fatty acid triglyceride or fatty acid partial glyceride, or mixtures thereof, and adjusting the moisture content of the enzyme to 5% to 50% by weight based on the weight of the carrier, wherein the enzyme is used for esterification.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus represented by digital camera 200 is capable of accessing at least two storage media. Each time one of the storage media becomes full, the image capturing apparatus switches the image data recording destination to the other storage medium. While one of the storage media is serving as the image data recording destination, image data in the other storage medium is transferred to a host unit by communication.

Abstract: An endoscope imaging apparatus includes an imaging unit in which an imaging optical unit that contains at least one optical lens in a rigid member the one end side of which is airtightly sealed is airtightly joined to an imaging element unit that contains at least one imaging element in a rigid member the one end side of which is airtightly sealed through a tubular member to which a bellows portion having an elastic force is formed.

Abstract: In a circumstance in which light is emitted from many electronic flashes, e.g., a press conference hall or a wedding hall, light emission from other electronic flashes overlaps preliminary light emission performed before main light emission. This decreases the photometry accuracy with respect to preliminary light emission and makes it difficult to perform proper flash exposure. In a camera system designed to perform preliminary light emission before main light emission, photometry is performed a plurality of number of times upon preliminary light emission, and flash exposure is performed by suppressing photometric values which may have been influenced by light emission as disturbance other than the preliminary light emission.

Abstract: An external magnet provided outside a sealed container is movable with respect to the sealed container, and an external member moves the external magnet. An internal magnet provided in the sealed container is movable with respect to the sealed container, and an internal member is moved by movement of the internal magnet. The external magnet and the internal magnet are arranged in such a manner that the internal magnet is moved by the action of a repulsive force between the external magnet and the internal magnet based on movement of the external magnet.
