Abstract: Provided is a coated solid pharmaceutical preparation which not only makes it difficult to perceive the unpleasant taste and/or unpleasant odor of pharmacologically active substances when taken but also does not easily discolor over time. In the coated solid pharmaceutical preparation, a solid pharmaceutical preparation containing a pharmacologically active substance is coated with a film containing a film-forming polymer and a flaky substance.

Abstract: An optical scan device includes an optical waveguide array, including a plurality of optical waveguides each of which propagates light along a first direction, that emits a light beam, the plurality of optical waveguides being arranged in a second direction that intersects the first direction, a phase shifter array including a plurality of phase shifters connected separately to each of the plurality of optical waveguides, a control circuit that controls a phase shift amount of each of the plurality of phase shifters and/or inputting of light to each of the plurality of phase shifters and thereby controls a direction and shape of the light beam that is emitted from the optical waveguide array, a photodetector that detects the light beam reflected by a physical object, and a signal processing circuit that generates distance distribution data on the basis of output from the photodetector.

Abstract: The present disclosure promotes distribution of sensor data among a plurality of business operators. A controller that an information processing system according to the present disclosure includes collects first data including a plurality of items and personal information from mobile bodies belonging to a first business operator. The controller converts the first data to second data not being usable to identify individuals. The controller provides data in a range decided based on content of a predetermined data use contract, among the second data, to a second business operator. The controller calculates a consideration for the data that is to be paid by the second business operator, based on a data use record of the second business operator.

Abstract: A transmitting terminal can transmit a content held by itself to a specific receiving terminal having no email software as if using a mailer. The transmitting terminal (10) and the receiving terminal (20) are connected to a delivery server (30) via a network (4). The delivery server (30) comprises: a database (36) for registering the device ID that specifies the receiving terminal (20); a content storage (39) for temporarily storing a content transmitted from the transmitting terminal (10); and table (33, 37) for managing contents separately on a per device ID basis of the receiving terminal. The delivery server (30), when receiving a request from the receiving terminal (20), refers to the tables (33, 27) and transmits to the receiving terminal (20) a content, the transmission destination of which corresponds to the device ID of the receiving terminal (20).

Abstract: An optical filter includes a filter array including filters two-dimensionally arrayed and a band-pass filter. The filters includes first and second filters. A transmission spectrum of each of the first and second filters has local maximum values of transmittance at three or more wavelengths included in a first wavelength region. The band-pass filter passes light in a second wavelength region including two or more wavelengths of the three or more wavelengths and not including one or more wavelengths of the three or more wavelengths. The filter array and the band-pass filter are disposed so that (a) the band-pass filter is located on an optical path of light that passes through the first and second filters or (b) the first and second filters are located on an optical path of light that passes through the band-pass filter.

Abstract: A semiconductor device is disclosed. The semiconductor device includes an internal circuit having a high breakdown voltage transistor, and a first electrostatic protection circuit in which electrostatic protection elements are connected in series. The sum of the breakdown voltage values of the electrostatic protection elements in the first electrostatic protection circuit is almost equal to the breakdown voltage value of the high breakdown voltage transistor. The first electrostatic protection circuit is connected between an input/output terminal and a ground terminal of the semiconductor device to which terminals the internal circuit is connected.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a well region formed in the substrate, a field effect transistor formed in the well region, and a diffused region, formed across the well region and the substrate for applying back gate potential to the well region, and forming a PN junction together with its periphery. The field effect transistor and the PN junction are connected between terminals for absorbing excess current so that an internal circuit connected to the terminals is protected.

Abstract: A static protection device protects an internal circuit of a semiconductor device from surge voltages. An emitter terminal of the PNP transistor is connected to the input/output terminal, a collector terminal of the PNP transistor is connected to the ground terminal, and the base terminal is left open, to realize the static protection device. In this manner the reverse-biased protection can be maintained with respect to the internal circuit.
