Abstract: In this manufacturing method for a frame body, after ring rolling a metal material to form a ring-shaped member, a rectangular member is formed by pressing and deforming this ring-shaped member in the radial direction. At this time, an angle of corner portions that impart the rectangular shape to the rectangular member is formed smaller than an angle of the frame body that is to be obtained by die forging the rectangular member. According to the frame body obtained by this manufacturing method for a frame body, it is possible to increase the mechanical strength, and in particular, the creep strength. Furthermore, when forming the frame body, the occurrence of defects during manufacture may be restrained, it becomes possible to realize a reduction of the amount of waste metal material and the manufacturing time, and thereby this frame body may be formed inexpensively.

Abstract: A tag information production apparatus is disclosed which can apply tag information to a main image through a realistic amount of work. A time information acquisition section acquires time information of a main image selected on a working screen, and a key region setting section sets a key region at a position corresponding to a partial region in the main image specified arbitrarily by an operator. An identification information application section applies, to the set key region, region identification information which allows identification between the key region and a peripheral region. A key image production section produces a key image to which time information same as the time information of the main image is applied and in which the region identification information is applied to the key region set through the working screen.

Abstract: Upon formation of an impurity-added silicon film by a low-pressure CVD apparatus, diffusion of an impurity from another similar silicon film, which has already been formed over the inside walls of the deposition chamber, is suppressed in the following manner. After insertion of a semiconductor substrate, having a gate oxide film (insulating film) formed thereover, into the deposition chamber of a CVD apparatus (first film forming apparatus), the inside of the deposition chamber is heated while minimizing, relative to a time A required for heating of the inside of the deposition chamber under atmospheric pressure, a time B required for the subsequent heating in the deposition chamber under a pressure adjusted to vacuum or not greater than atmospheric pressure. The formation of an impurity-added silicon film is then started. At this time, the relation between A and B is controlled to satisfy the following equation: 0.1×B?A?13×B.

Abstract: A tag information display control apparatus disclosed allows information regarding a particular partial region in moving pictures to be displayed on a screen only by clicking the partial region. Movement of a pointer in a screen by a viewer of a main image is accepted, and the position of the pointer in the screen is acquired. A key image reproduced in synchronism with the main image is referred to to decide whether the pointer is within a key region. Region identification information set with regard to the key region is read out when the pointer is within the key region. Index information with link information is referred to based on the region identification information together with time information of the key image to read out corresponding link information. Related information is acquired from a linking destination specified with the link information and is displayed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a production apparatus for index information with link information. The apparatus includes a database in which a corresponding relationship between region identification information applied to a key region which provides a partial region in a main image specified arbitrarily by an operator and link information for accessing to related information of the partial region is listed. The apparatus further includes an information embedding section configured to refer to said database to embed, into index information in which a corresponding relationship between the region identification information applied to the key region and time information is listed, the corresponding link information.
