Abstract: An image creation device which combines a plurality of part images into a target image. An attribute setting unit sets data on a sex, age, etc., of the target image. A selection unit selects the respective part images which constitute the target image. When a controller synthesizes the selected part images, it disposes the respective part images at positions depending on the set attributes in an image storage. When the controller synthesizes the selected part images, it disposes the respective selected part images at positions depending on the set positional relationship in the image storage.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a polymer dispersion liquid crystal layer comprises a hollow spherical light reflection member, LC cell supports provided in the reflection member, and a light source for radiating light in the reflection member. The inner surface of the reflection member constitutes a spherical reflection surface. The reflection member is provided with a light source. An LC cell filled with a mixture solution of LC and polymer material is supported on the supports. Then, the light source is turned on. Light emitted from the light source is reflected in various directions by the spherical reflection surface and is made incident uniformly on the LC cell in all directions with a substantially constant intensity. Accordingly, the light of a substantially equal intensity is radiated on all portions of the mixture solution in the LC cell, and the rate of progress of light polymerization is constant.

Abstract: A data reading apparatus reads data of dots from a recording sheet on which data is recorded in the form of a mesh pattern, and decodes the read data into binary data. The data reading apparatus has an image sensor to read black/white levels of dots of the mesh pattern using the image sensor and to binarize the read levels by a hardware component or CPU processing according to software. An image can have a high recording density by minimizing a dot size.

Abstract: In the present invention, an unwinding shaft in a cassette is rotated to unwind a sheet member by an unwinding mechanism in connection with a movement of a head attaching member when the head attaching member is such a direction as to separate the head member from the sheet member in the cassette. Also, the sheet member is applied with a back tension in a direction opposite to the winding tension by a back tension applying mechanism when the winding shaft winds the sheet member by a winding device of a winding motor.

Abstract: In a signal processing apparatus which stores a program inside, and performs a series of processes on a received signal according to the program, such as an arithmetic operation or a delay process, and outputs the processed signal, for rewriting the program in order to change the contents of the processing. Program data is prevented from being output in synchronism with a sampling clock generated at the timing of an input signal. This design can minimize noise occurring due to a change in the algorithm of the signal processing during signal processing. Further, in the case where a program for a separate signal processing circuit is rewritten in response to an instruction that is given from outside at an arbitrary timing, noise can also be minimized by proceeding with the rewriting in synchronism with a sampling clock.

Abstract: In a character string outputting apparatus, a character frame is produced by substituting a numeral sequence indicative of an arranging position of each character contained in a desirable character string for a character string configuration function. In this character frame, the respective characters for constituting the desirable character string are allocated within an arbitrary designated character string configuration region. Thus, the fonts for constituting the desirable character string are arranged within the produced character frame, and also the enlarging rate of the respective characters is variable by moving the origins of the fonts about these characters when these fonts are arranged. This character string outputting apparatus may be utilized as such a character string outputting apparatus capable of outputting a proportional spacing font.

Abstract: An object image display device which changes and displays the image of an object such as an animal or a building. A display displays an object image including a combination of patterns of the parts of the object. The pattern of at least part of the object image displayed on the display is successively changed to a different part pattern of the same at least part in response to the keying operation of keys. Thus, the display displays the object image such that the at least part of the object image successively moves. The user is able to set a shape to which the object image is changed and the timing of changing the object image. Each time the object image is changed, a voice corresponding to the aspect of change of the object image is output sequentially to the outside. Externally inputting a voice into the device changes at least a part of the object image displayed at present in accordance with the contents of the input voice.

Abstract: An electrically connecting structure including a first electronic part having a first connecting terminal, a second electronic part having a second connecting terminal which is arranged to face the first connecting terminal of the first electronic part, and an anisotropic conductive adhesive arranged between the first connecting terminal and the second connecting terminal. The anisotropic conductive adhesive includes an insulating adhesive, a plurality of first conductive particles which are covered with an insulating layer, and a plurality of second conductive particles which are not covered with any material. The first conductive particles and the second conductive particles have substantially the same size.

Abstract: Data on various conversation sentences are sent/received by radio between radio communication devices remote from one another. Many conversation sentence data items and different code data items are beforehand stored in a corresponding relationship in a conversation sentence data storage ROM. When one of the conversation sentence data items is selected by operation of a select switch, a corresponding code data item is sent to a receiving end, which is provided with a ROM having the same contents of storage as the ROM. A conversation sentence is read from the ROM in accordance with the received code data and displayed on a display.

Abstract: A pair of polarizing plates are disposed on two sides of an STN type liquid crystal cell constituted by a liquid crystal twist-aligned at a twist angle of 180.degree. to 270.degree.. A retardation plate is disposed between one of the polarizing plates and the liquid crystal cell in such a manner that the optical axis of the retardation plate crosses the transmission axis of the adjacent polarizing plate at 35.degree. to 55.degree.. The pair of polarizing plates are arranged such that their transmission axes are parallel to each other. The liquid crystal cell is arranged such that the optical axis of the retardation plate crosses the aligning direction of the liquid crystal molecules on the substrate side adjacent to the retardation plate at a predetermined angle. A driving circuit is connected to the liquid crystal cell.
