Abstract: A color separation optical assembly (3) of an image capture device (1) includes, in order from a light incidence side, a first prism (10) which has a first dichroic film (D1) and extracts blue light (LB) reflected by the first dichroic film, a second prism (20) which has a second dichroic film (D2) and extracts red light (LR) transmitted through the first dichroic film and reflected by the second dichroic film, and a third prism (30) which extracts green light (LG) transmitted through the first and second dichroic films. The first dichroic film is a multiband dichroic film which reflects light of an infrared region from a long wavelength side of a red region.

Abstract: The broadcast equipment is provided with a receiving unit (101), a separation processing unit (102) for separating the broadcast signal into a program content and control information, a content processing unit (103) for processing the program content, a erasing unit (104) for erasing the AIT included in the control information, a storage (105) for storing the AIT working with the program content, a readout unit (106) for reading out an AIT from the storage (105), an adding unit (107) for adding the AIT read out by the readout unit (106) to the control information from which the AIT is erased by the erasing unit (104), a multiplexing processing unit (108) for multiplexing the control information to which the AIT is newly added and the program content after being processed by the content processing unit (103), and a transmitting unit (109) for transmitting the multiplexed signal as a broadcast signal.

Abstract: A terminal (5) obtains, by communicating with a viewer history presence management server (101) that manages viewing histories of multiple users including the user of said terminal, viewing histories of the different users from the viewer history presence management server (101); generates GUI video data, in which more than one symbols respectively corresponding to more than one program content viewed by the other viewers are listed chronologically, on the basis of the viewing histories of the different users; and outputs the video data for presentation. In this case, upon receiving a specific symbol selected by the user among the one or more symbols contained in the GUI video data, the terminal (5) transmits a command to a receiver so as to switch the program to be reproduced at the receiver to the program content which corresponds to the specific symbol received by an operation reception unit (77).

Abstract: The receiver (4) is provided with: a menu generation unit (191) that identifies, in response to receipt of a prescribed operation, executable applications on the basis of a viewing state detected by a viewing state detection unit (18) and executable information included in an AIT, and generates a menu screen including information about the identified applications; a display control unit (21) that conducts display control by compositing the menu screen and program content; and an application execution control unit (192) that acquires, in response to an application selecting operation received by an operation receiving unit (17) after the menu screen has been composited with the program content by the display control unit (21), the selected application from a service server (3) on the basis of location information in the AIT that corresponds to the selected application, and executes the selected application.

Abstract: Provided are a signal processing device and a program which is capable of switching from a broadcast program to VOD, and during viewing of the VOD, if an emergency alert is superimposed upon a broadcast wave, displays the emergency alert under certain conditions, and which additionally is capable of displaying only VOD when viewing a recording. This signal processing device (4), on the basis of a signal from a remote control (R), upon switching to VOD content on the basis of an AIT in order to display the content upon a display (21), in response to detection of a boot flag for an emergency alert broadcast for a TMCC carrier included in a broadcast wave of a broadcasting station before the switching, displays the emergency alert broadcast included in the broadcast wave upon the display (21).

Abstract: Since a delaying part (14) delays transmission of a video signal, the timing at which a decoded video signal is input into a multiplex processing part (16) matches the timing at which an analysis result from an encoded information analyzing part 13 is received by the multiplex processing part (16). It is, therefore, possible to perform processing for showing the quality level of a video on the same screen, and thus a large capacity memory is unnecessary.

Abstract: A method for magnetic recording and reproduction comprising the steps of: (1) magnetically multiple-recording signals on a magnetic recording medium comprising a support having thereon an upper magnetic recording layer comprising barium ferrite having an increased coercive force at 60.degree. C. or more and a lower magnetic recording layer comprising at least one of chromium dioxide and Co-modified iron oxide, having a decreased coercive force at 60.degree. C. or more, disposed between said upper magnetic recording layer and said support; (2) heating said magnetic recording layers prior to reproduction due to a reproducing head; and (3) reproducing said magnetically recorded signal from said heated magnetic recording medium which is multiple-recorded.

Abstract: A system for measuring the state of charge of a storage battery is disclosed which corrects charging and discharge electrical quantities of the battery in view of temperature and charging efficiency of the battery, and the like to precisely measure the state of charge thereof by digital-operation. There is also disclosed a system correcting, by digital-operation, the variation in capacity of the battery due to the variation in life of the battery and/or the self-discharge thereof as well, to thereby measure the state of charge with higher precision.
