Abstract: A nanoparticle-resin composite material is provided. The material has a transparent characteristic and a refractive index of at least 1.55 in the visible light region. The composite material includes inorganic nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer having a siloxane bond, the inorganic nanoparticles being coated with an organic compound. The organic compound is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids, phosphinic acid, phosphonic acid, sulfinic acid, sulfonic acid, and thiols, and the selected compound contains an aryl group or an aryloxy group. The polymer is selected from the group consisting of methylphenyl polysiloxane, methylphenyl hydrogen polysiloxane, a mixture methylphenyl polysiloxane and methylphenyl hydrogen polysiloxane, or methylphenyl polysiloxane, methylphenyl hydrogen polysiloxane, and a mixture of methylphenyl polysiloxane and methylphenyl hydrogen polysiloxane.

Abstract: A system for generating a mask pattern for a vector data processor is described having at least a mask register and a vector register in which, when the value of the mask register is "1", a calculation is executed for the corresponding element of the vector register, and when the value of the mask register is "0", a calculation is not executed, in accordance with the so-called calculational mask function. The system includes: a designation unit for designating sequential i elements of "0" or "1" from the head element of the mask register, and the subsequent sequential j elements of "1" or "0"; a control unit for rendering the i elements to be "0" or "1", the j elements to be "1" or "0", and the remaining entire elements to be all "0's" or all 1's, when "i" plus "j" is smaller than a vector length which is the object of calculation of a vector data operand for use in a vector instruction; and a desired mask pattern of "0" or "1" is able to be generated in the mask register.
