Abstract: A display device includes: a monitor and receiving set having a video signal receiving section, a display section, an image quality control section, a first control signal transceiver, and a first control section; and a control and transmission set having a television broadcast receiving section, a video signal input section, a video signal transmitting section, a second control signal transceiver, a key input section, and a second control section. The Power consumption of a first radio transmission path formed by the video signal transmitting section and the video signal receiving section is larger than that of a second radio transmission path formed by the first and second control signal transceivers. A control signal for a user interface is communicated by the first and second control signal transceivers. Only the second radio transmission path of the first and second radio transmission paths is communicable in a standby state.

Abstract: According to an illustrative embodiment, a display controller is provided. The display controller includes a control section for controlling a display to display a sequence of images, first character information corresponding to a first displayed image of the sequence of images, and other character information corresponding to an image in the sequence of images which is prior to the first displayed image, wherein the control section controls display of the first character information and the other character information in response to a user operation.

Abstract: Protein is two-dimensionally aggregated and fixed to produce a functional thin film. A denatured film of a first protein is formed on the surface of a substrate solution such as an aqueous sugar or salt solution. A solution of a second protein which may be the same as or different from the first protein is then injected below the surface of the substrate solution at a distance sufficient not to disturb the surface. The substrate solution has a higher surface tension and specific gravity than the second protein solution causing the second protein to float between the denatured protein film and the substrate solution surface to form the two-dimensionally aggregated and fixed protein. The denatured film of first protein may be formed by injection of a solution of the first protein below the surface of the substrate solution. The aggregated and fixed protein can be heated and then transferred onto a solid surface such as in the formation of a biosensor.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for forming a two-dimensional assembly of fine particles on a surface. A wall cell is placed in contact with or near the surface of a solid substrate so as to form a closed surface region on the surface of the solid substrate, a liquid containing fine particles is injected onto the closed surface region in the wall cell, and then the liquid is removed at a controlled rate, thereby causing a two-dimensional assembly of fine particles to form on the solid surface.
