Abstract: There are provided a video viewing system and method thereof which are capable of easily grasping the usage status of a plurality of video groups. An on-air broadcast video, edited video, and raw material video are stored in a video storage unit 106, and mutual correlations obtained from a series of correlations of these video groups are stored in a correlation information storage unit 108. When any one video of the on-air broadcast video, edited video, and raw material video is specified, a correlation information retrieval unit 107 retrieves the mutual correlation of the specified video, and a frequency-of-use calculation unit 109 generates the frequency-of-use of the specified video in other video groups based on the retrieved correlation. The generated frequency-of-use is graphed and displayed on a display unit.

Abstract: An electrical connector adapted to be mounted onto a panel of an electronic appliance includes a housing and a predetermined number of contacts held and fixed in the housing. The housing includes one or more projections formed on each of an upper surface and a lower surface of the housing, and the projections are adapted to be positioned on a first side of the panel. The electrical connector also includes a block which engages the housing, and the block is adapted to be positioned on a second side of the panel which is opposite the first side of the panel. Moreover, the block includes a through-hole formed therethrough. The electrical connector also includes a fixing pin, and a portion of the fixing pin is positioned within the through-hole.

Abstract: A connector includes a housing and a required number of pusher members. The housing has a fitting aperture into which two or at least three flexible printed circuit boards are inserted and insertion openings for holding the required number of the pusher members. When the two or at least three flexible printed circuit boards are inserted into the fitting aperture of the housing, contact portions of the two or at least three flexible printed circuit boards are urged by the pusher members so as to be connected to each other to achieve electrical continuity of the connector. With this construction, the connector can be mounted on anywhere with the exception of a flexible printed circuit board as by adhesion or pushing down by a frame of the set without using soldering, thereby permitting low cost manufacture and wide freedom of selection of connector mechanisms.

Abstract: A CM feature data extracting unit 22 extracts a feature data 24 of a section corresponding to a CM from broadcasting signals received by a receiving facility 21. A checking portion 23 checks the feature data 24 against a CM feature data registered with a DB 3. The checking portion 23 registers, with the DB 3, the CM feature data 24 determined not being included in the DB 3 as a new CM. The feature data calculating portion 42 extracts a feature data 44 from broadcast waves received by a receiving facility 41. A checking unit 43 checks the feature data 44 against a CM feature datatored with the DB 3. When they agree, a checking portion 4 sends out a checking result 45 to a recording portion 5. The recording portion 5 creates a report 51 from the checking result 45 and submits the report 51 to a client 1. A broadcast checker 6 receives a broadcast checking charge 11 in compensation for the report 51.
