Abstract: By generating a transmission signal containing information on a video signal containing information on a video signal encoded in units of a video signal of a predetermined number of vertical periods and adding a flag indicating the header of the transmission signal to the header of the transmission signal, it is possible to extract the flag indicating the header of the transmission signal added to the header of the transmission signal which has been radio-received and decode the encoded video signal contained in the transmission signal at the timing in accordance with a reference signal outputted at the timing when the flag is extracted.

Abstract: In a method of modifying a transparent conductive oxide film and in a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic device, a transparent conductive oxide film is irradiated with an energy beam for increasing the carrier concentration and thereby reducing the resistance of the transparent conductive oxide film.
