Abstract: A method and video device are disclosed for accessing information. In an embodiment of the present invention, part of data included in a title, being played, read from a storage medium or extracted from a broadcast signal is extracted and sent to a server over a network, and information corresponding to the part of the data (i.e., information related to the data and complete data of the data) is received from the server and played. Rather than the part of the data, information related to a position of the data, (e.g. a time point at which the playing of the data starts within the title or a radial position or a physical address at which the data is located in the storage medium) may be sent. The data may be data that forms audio, a frame-shaped video clip or a frame-shaped picture included in the title.

Abstract: Provided are a paraelectric thin film structure and a high frequency tunable device with the paraelectric thin film structure. The paraelectric thin film structure has a large dielectric constant tuning rate and a low dielectric loss at a high frequency. The paraelectric thin film structure includes a perovskite ABO3 type paraelectric film formed on an oxide single crystal substrate. The paraelectric film is formed of a material selected from Ba(Zrx,Ti1-x)O3, Ba(Hfy,Ti1-y)O3, or Ba(Snz,Ti1-z)O3. Instead of the paraelectric film, the paraelectric thin film structure may include a compositionally graded paraelectric film having at least two paraelectric films formed of the selected material by varying the composition ratio x, y, or z. A high-frequency/phase tunable device employing the paraelectric thin film structure can have improved microwave characteristics and high-speed, low-power-consuming, low-cost characteristics.

A single longitudinal mode operation of the fiber ring laser can be obtained by using a saturable absorber serving as a narrow-bandwidth filter.

In this present invention, information identifying a product item, which is in a scene to be presented from a broadcast signal, is provided together with a broadcast signal, then a signal receiving terminal stores the product information for a new product item and displays the stored information to a viewer to select one product item while or after watching an interesting broadcast program, and transmits data identifying a selected product item to a predetermined web site and receives web site address for the selected item from that site. As a result, derailed information for the selected item is acquired from a server addressed by the received web site address.

Abstract: Provided are a distributed analog phase shifter and a method of manufacturing the same, which reduce a change in a characteristic impedance while changing a phase velocity with respect to an applied voltage. In the distributed analog phase shifter, a coplanar waveguide (CPW) is formed in a line form on a substrate. A plurality of ferroelectric capacitors is periodically loaded to the CPW. The ferroelectric capacitors include a ferroelectric film in a pattern form and defines the ferroelectric film affected by the applied voltage within an area of the ferroelectric capacitors. Accordingly, the change in the phase velocity with respect to the applied voltage is maintained without the change of the CPW characteristic and a return loss characteristic and a total insertion loss are improved since a total dielectric loss of the ferroelectric film is decreased.
