Abstract: In a receiving device, a receiver receives extended program information. A user selects a program to be reserved by a selection operation using an operation input unit. An extended reservation manager causes an instruction receiver to transmit an extended reservation instruction based on an extended program identifier for identifying the selected program. In a recording device, a receiver receives program data, mapping information, and program information. The instruction receiver receives the extended reservation instruction transmitted from the receiver. An extended reservation executer acquires an extended program identifier from the received extended reservation instruction and acquires a program identifier corresponding to the extended program identifier on the basis of the mapping information, to store a program reservation on the basis of the program identifier. A program recorder/reproducer records and/or reproduces the program data in accordance with the stored program reservation.

Abstract: An induction cooker includes a top plate (1) for placing an object to be heated thereon, a heating mode selection key (8) for allowing the user to select one control mode for heating the object to be heated between a manual heating mode in which the heat output is set by the user by using an output adjusting key (9) and at least another control mode in which the heat output is controlled automatically, and a heating off/on key (7) for starting to heat the object to be heated. In the standby mode, the controller starts heating only when the user operates the heating mode selection key (8) to change the mode to the cooking menu selection mode before operating the heating off/on key (7). When a predetermined time has elapsed in the cooking menu selection mode without a change in a selected control mode, the mode is changed to the standby mode.

Abstract: An operation guarantee system includes a decoder circuit, a comparison circuit, a CPU circuit, a frequency adjustment circuit and a DQ adjustment circuit. The comparison circuit compares a test data signal input from the decoder circuit with an expected value data signal input from the exterior, and detects the presence or absence of an output error in the decoder circuit. The CPU circuit controls the frequency adjustment circuit and the DQ adjustment circuit to vary a frequency of a clock signal input to an external memory and a delay amount of the data signal. In addition, the CPU circuit acquires a result of detection of the comparison circuit under various conditions. Then, the CPU circuit determines an appropriate frequency of the clock signal input to the external memory based on a relationship between the various conditions and the presence or absence of the output error.

Abstract: A display apparatus is provided which optimally restores decreased luminance and extends a life of a light emitting element. The display apparatus includes a memory that stores a plurality of trap levels in association with a plurality of use durations of the light emitting element. An obtainer determines one of the plurality of use durations of the light emitting element. A controller reads, from the memory, one of the plurality of trap levels associated with the one of the plurality of use durations, and removes a charge from the light emitting element by application of a reverse bias voltage having a level associated with the one of the plurality of trap levels. The controller changes the level of the reverse bias voltage which is applied to the light emitting element so that as the one of the plurality of use durations increases, the level of the reverse bias voltage increases.

Abstract: A wireless distance measurement system and wireless terminal improve the accuracy of distance measurement when the UWB communication scheme is used. In wireless terminal 200, a route of signals varies between a distance measuring operation and a synchronization establishing operation, and, when the distance measuring operation is performed, a detection result is inputted to comparator 208 without passing through integrator 204. By this means, the distance measuring operation of wireless terminal 200 does not involve integration processing, so that delay time due to integration processing is not produced and, consequently, it is possible to improve the accuracy of distance measurement. Further, the distance measuring operation uses the integration result acquired integrator 204 for a comparison reference voltage used in comparator 208.

A transparent member is disposed on the upper surface to cover the light-receiving element. A case includes a bottom wall, a side wall protruding from an outer edge of the bottom wall, and a through-hole penetrating the bottom wall. A sealant is filled in a space defined by surfaces of the optical element, the transparent member, and the case, and also in the through-hole. Here, the optical element and the transparent member are stored in a region between the bottom wall and the side wall. The sealant is filled to the region to seal the space. The bottom wall is segmented into: a center region in which the optical element is placed; and a peripheral region outside the center region. The through-hole is arranged in the peripheral region.

Abstract: Supporting metal plates 121 are attached to the sides of a display 101, so that screwing flat portions 123 of the supporting metal plates 121 are placed out of the back side of the display 101. Further, a lid 151, fixing brackets 141, and the screwing flat portions 123 are fixed with screws in a state in which fixing flat portions 143 of the fixing brackets 141 are inserted into long grooves 112 on the side walls of a body case, thereby reducing clearances between the display 101 and the side walls of the body case. Thus with the simple chassis configuration having only the long grooves 112 formed on the body case 111, a chassis can be constructed detachably with a chassis peripheral part having a small width.

Abstract: A sampling filter of such circuitry as not requiring a high frequency REF signal even if the number of decimation is decreased. In the sampling filter, the rotate capacitor in each switched capacitor circuit including Cr (7a-7d) arranged in four parallel arrays operates in four phases of integration, discharge, reset and feedback different from each other at the same timing. Consequently, a control signal for driving the switched capacitor circuit is used commonly. As a result, the circuit scale of a DCU (104) is reduced and the frequency of the REF signal can be lowered to the frequency of an LO signal even in operation without decimation.
