Abstract: There is disclosed a digital broadcast recording/reproduction device capable of easily searching for an updated data broadcast. In this device, a data broadcast update recording unit (125) receives an event message and a report on a module modification from a data broadcast reproduction unit (111) and, by analyzing the contents reported, it records the updated information and the update time in a data accumulation unit (109). When a whole control unit (122) receives a rewinding request from an input control unit (121), a reproduction control unit (127) is controlled so that the reproduction control unit (127) reproduces a data broadcast from the updated portion recorded in the data accumulation unit (109).

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sealed secondary battery is provided with a container body having an opening and accommodating an electrode assembly and an electrolyte, a sealing plate which seals the opening of the container body, the sealing plate having an injection hole which is formed penetrating the sealing. plate and through which the electrolyte is injected into the container body, and a sealing body positioned with an annular vacant space above a surface region of the sealing plate around the injection hole therein and welded at a peripheral edge portion thereof to the sealing plate, thereby sealing the injection hole.

Abstract: There is disclosed a digital broadcast reception device capable of acquiring a broadcast wave at a current position with a high probability without using position information even when moving over a broadcast area. In this device, when reservation of recording or viewing is inputted from an input unit (104), a broadcast wave which can be received by the frequency channel for which the frequency channel station selection unit (123) is specified is selected. When it is impossible to select a broadcast wave which can be received by the specified frequency channel, a station selection control unit (122) controls the frequency channel station selection unit (123), a broadcast analysis unit (124), and a service channel station selection unit (125) so as to perform channel search and acquire a broadcast wave which can be received.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus capable of preventing the occurrence of a streak and reading a quality image from the leading edge to the trailing edge of a original. An original is conveyed along a convey pass. The original being conveyed is guided by a guide member, at least part of the guide member being transparent. An image of the original being conveyed is read by an image sensor through the guide member. Airflow is generated, the airflow being blown into the convey pass from a location upstream in a conveying direction compared to a location of the image sensor. The guide member has a convex portion disposed at a location upstream in the conveying direction compared to the location of the image sensor.

Abstract: A digital broadcast receiving apparatus is disclosed that performs channel list switching without increasing the apparatus scale and power consumption. In this apparatus, schedule control section (125) acquires the current time from time information acquisition section (105), and reads channel list identification information corresponding to the current time stored in schedule storage section (108), and overall control section (121) reads a channel list stored in channel list storage section (107) in accordance with the channel list identification information read by schedule control section (125), and sets the read channel list as “current.” Frequency channel selection section (122) performs channel selection using the frequency channel indicated by the last channel of the channel list set as current, and service channel selection section (124) performs channel selection of the service channel indicated by the last channel.

Abstract: There is disclosed a digital broadcast recording/reproduction device capable of reproducing a recorded content acquired from a broadcast wave and reproducing a content which can be acquired via a communication during acquisition of the content. In this device, a broadcast wave including a data broadcast content is separated into video, audio, and a data broadcast content by multiplexing separation unit (105). A control unit (102) decides whether the separated data broadcast content includes anchor information on the content-via-communication acquired via the communication. When the data broadcast content includes the anchor information, a communication unit (117) acquires the content-via-communication according to the anchor information. The content-via-communication acquired by the communication unit (117) is correlated with the anchor information and accumulated in a data accumulation unit (109) by a recording/reproduction unit (108).

Abstract: A broadcast receiving apparatus capable of automatically switching channel lists without increasing the apparatus scale nor increasing the power consumption. In this apparatus, a received channel list storing part (106) stores a plurality of channel lists corresponding to a plurality of different broadcast areas, and a switched station selection control part (121) uses a currently set first channel list of the plurality of channel lists to select a station. If this station selection is failed, then the switched station selection control part (121) switches the currently set channel list to a second channel list and uses the second channel list channels to perform a station selection.
