Abstract: A packet-based video network includes: plural packetized video data nodes; a packet switch configured to switch from one of video packet routes to another of video packet routes; and a video synchronizer configured to synchronize the video frame periods of at least nodes acting as packetized video data sources; wherein: each node acting as a packetized video data source is configured to launch onto the network packetized video data such that, for at least video frame periods adjacent to a switching operation: the node launches onto the network packetized video data required for decoding that frame during a predetermined active video data portion of the video frame period, and the node does not launch onto the network packetized video data required for decoding that frame during a predetermined remaining portion of the video frame period; and the switching operation is implemented during the predetermined remaining portion.

Abstract: This technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, and a program capable of improving audio quality and more efficiently encoding audio. A first high-frequency encoding circuit encodes a high-frequency range based on a low-frequency subband signal and a high-frequency subband signal and obtains a high-frequency code amount. A low-frequency encoding circuit encodes a low-frequency signal with a code amount determined by the high-frequency code amount and a low-frequency decoding circuit decodes the encoded low-frequency signal.

Abstract: A blood coagulation system analysis device capable of analyzing a blood coagulation system with high accuracy, and a method and a program for analysis of a blood coagulation system are proposed. The blood coagulation system is observed as a temporal change in permittivity before the viscoelasticity manifestation timing (timing at which blood starts to clot from the viewpoint of viscoelasticity (in greater detail, timing at which active polymerization of fibrin monomers starts)). A permittivity of blood which is positioned between a pair of electrodes is measured at predetermined time intervals after the anticoagulant effect acting on the blood is ended, and from the measurement result, a degree of the action of the blood coagulation system is analyzed.

Abstract: A content introduction screen linked to relevant sites can easily be created. In S1, a content-information input screen is displayed. When content information has been completely input in S2, then, in S3, link elements are extracted from the content information. In S4, one of the link elements is selected. In S5 through S8, a site related to the link element is searched for. In S9, a content introduction screen in which the input content information is linked to the searched site is generated and displayed. In S10, metadata including the content information, the URL, etc., which are used to generate the content introduction screen, is stored.

Abstract: This is a semiconductor apparatus capable of realizing a sharing of parts without introducing enlargement of the apparatus and deterioration in reliability of the wire bonding in case of responding to various electronic circuits.

Abstract: A test pattern generation circuit is stored in a semiconductor memory, a writing operation is carried out with an address sequence pattern and a test data pattern generated with a clock signal obtained from an external part during a test mode, the test data pattern and the read-out data are compared from each other during a reading-out operation, a pass or non-pass discrimination signal in the memory is attained in response to whether both of them are coincided with each other or not, the pass or non-pass discrimination signal is outputted to an external terminal, the number of test signal driving signals is reduced and the number of parallel test chips is increased so as to reduce a test cost. In addition, the memory has a power supply shut-off control circuit and a stable test is carried out by shutting-off the power supply in the case that the power supply shows a short-circuited state.
