Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices that facilitate applying a predefined negative gate voltage to wordlines adjacent to a selected wordline associated with a memory cell selected during a read or verify operation to facilitate reducing adjacent wordline disturb are presented. A memory component can comprise an optimized operation component that can apply a predefined negative gate voltage to wordlines adjacent to a selected wordline associated with a memory cell selected for a read or verify operation, based at least in part on predefined operation criteria, to facilitate reducing adjacent wordline disturb in the selected memory cell to facilitate reducing a shift in the voltage threshold and maintain a desired operation window. The optimized operation component optionally can include an evaluator component that can facilitate determining whether a negative gate voltage applied to adjacent wordlines is to be adjusted to facilitate reducing adjacent wordline disturb below a predetermined threshold amount.

Abstract: An image-taking control section determines, based on information outputted from a location information obtaining section, whether a vehicle has entered a car park. When the vehicle has entered the car park, an image storage section stores, at predetermined time intervals, images of a view in a traveling direction of the vehicle, which images are taken by a vehicle-mounted camera. Image taking is terminated when the vehicle is parked at a parking space and a parking brake is applied. Thereafter, the taken images are transmitted via a transmission section to a mobile terminal held by a user. The user is allowed to easily recognize the parking position of his/her vehicle by viewing the images with the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A mode-changeover device is provided for enabling observers' eyes to easily follow a display video image during the change of its display magnification. In a mode-changeover device (1), a plurality of first magnifications are allocated in advance to either one of the horizontal direction and the vertical direction of a video image while a plurality of second magnifications are allocated in advance to the other. Whenever an observer operates, a CPU (151) in the mode-changeover device (1) selects the second magnifications one by one with either one of the first magnifications fixedly selected and then selects the second magnifications one by one with another one of the first magnifications fixedly selected. Further, whenever the CPU (151) selects the first and second magnifications, a video image processing circuit (12) magnifies the input video image in accordance with the selected magnifications. A screen (13) displays the video image magnified by the video image processing circuit (12).

The video conversion circuit includes a mode for stretching the inputted video at a stretch rate of A (A is equal to or larger than 1) in the horizontal direction and at a stretch rate of B (B is equal to or larger than 1) in the vertical direction, so that unpleasant sensation caused by the stretch in the horizontal direction is reduced, and videos effectively utilizing the aspect ratio of the video display device are displayed.

Abstract: In a filter circuit (1), a common mode choke (2) and a normal mode choke (3) have extremely high and low impedances, respectively, for common mode signals received through two input terminals (1a and 1b). The chokes have the opposite impedance characteristics for differential signals. In particular, the difference in impedance is large. Furthermore, the normal mode choke (3) is installed as a previous stage of the common mode choke (2). Accordingly, common mode noises which enter the two input terminals (1a and 1b) penetrate the normal mode choke (3), but neither penetrate the common mode choke (2) nor are reflected from the common mode choke (2). In particular, common mode currents flow through the normal mode choke (3) but do not flow through the common mode choke (2).

Abstract: A data transmission system in which normal transmission can be performed irrespectively of the inserting orientation of a connector is provided. A transmitting device transmits to a receiving device a differential transmission signal including polarity decision data for deciding the polarity of the connector. Based on the polarity decision data included in the differential transmission signal transmitted from the transmitting device, the receiving device decides whether the polarity of the connector has been reversed or not. When it is decided that the polarity has not been reversed, the receiving device reads data from the differential transmission signal. When it is decided that the polarity has been reversed, the polarity of the differential transmission signal is reversed for data reading.

Abstract: A ring-shaped network quickly performs initialization even when a plurality of data transmission apparatuses are connected thereto. Each data transmission apparatus outputs received data to a device connected thereto while performing establishment of clock synchronization based on the received data, and when synchronization is established, it resends the received data. Further, when synchronization of the connected device is established, it sends data supplied from the connected device. Further, a master data transmission apparatus outputs data at turn-on of power or immediately after reset, and a next-stage slave data transmission apparatus receives the data to establish synchronization, and resends the received data when synchronization is established. Thus, synchronization of all the data transmission apparatuses is established while making a round of this data, and then synchronization of devices connected to the respective data transmission apparatuses is established.

The output data from the biphase decoding section (12) is transmitted to a data receiving device via a sending section (14). On the other hand, the data receiving device biphase-mark-encodes the data received from the data sending apparatus (10) and then supplies the data to an apparatus on the receiving side.

Abstract: A data transmission device (1a) generates and transmits a lock signal for establishing clock synchronization with data transmission devices (1b-n). The data transmission device (1a) is capable of generating a pattern 1 lock signal for giving a notice of start of communication by use of data subjected to eight-value mapping, and a pattern 2 lock signal for giving a notice of start of communication by use of data subjected to four-value mapping. One of the two types of lock signals is transmitted to each data transmission device. Determining which lock signal has been received enables each data transmission device to give a notice of data communication method prior to training.
