Abstract: A system which allows significant camera breaks to be automatically detected among a large number of camera breaks and which is suitable in retrieving or playing a digital video is realized. Using a detected result recorded in an analysis result recording unit, a camera break analyzing unit compares the camera breaks among different digital videos. Thereby, the camera break analyzing unit detects camera breaks in which similar frames are detected, like frames used in common among a plurality of digital video of the same category. Such camera breaks are detected as the significant camera breaks among the large number of camera breaks and are used as indexes for retrieving or playing the digital video.

Abstract: A thermally-conductive epoxy resin molded article comprises an epoxy resin having molecular chains that contain an azomethine group (—CH═N—). The molded article has a thermal conductivity in a range of 0.5 to 30 W/(m·K). It is preferred that the molecular chains of the epoxy resin are oriented in a specific direction, and in that direction, the molded article has a thermal conductivity in a range of 0.5 to 30 W/(m·K). The thermally-conductive epoxy resin molded article is produced by applying a magnetic field to the epoxy resin composition to orient the molecular chains of the epoxy resin in a specific direction and then curing the epoxy resin composition.

Abstract: A photosensor system includes a photosensor array which is constituted by two-dimensionally arraying a plurality of photosensors and has a light-receiving surface, and a front light source which is arranged to face the light-receiving surface at an interval, and illuminates a rear surface of an object whose front surface is set on the light-receiving surface. An image reading assembly reads an object image by receiving light that is emitted by the front light source and passes through the object.

Abstract: A reading apparatus for reading a target object includes a photosensor module having a plurality of photosensors arranged at least one plane, and a transparent conductive layer provided between the target object and the photosensor module.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a display for a secondary battery in response to the status thereof. For this end, the secondary battery is provided with the display section including LEDs and the switch. If the switch is operated while the secondary battery is being exhibited in a shop, displays to give an image what happens after purchase of the secondary battery are preformed in the display section. Such displays differ from each other in the charging mode and the discharging mode of the secondary battery. For example, in the charging mode, LEDs are sequentially lighted to indicate that the secondary battery is being charged. Additionally, by controlling the LEDs based on the timing calculated from the charging current magnitude through the secondary battery, it is possible to indicate such information if the charging is approaching to the final stage.

Abstract: A field sequential type liquid crystal display apparatus includes a liquid crystal display device in which unit-color image data of different colors are sequentially written in display elements during the period of one frame composed of three continuous fields, and an illuminating unit placed at the back of the liquid crystal display device to sequentially emit light beams having colors corresponding to the colors of the unit-color image data in accordance with the sequential write of the unit-color image data. The illuminating device is selectively controlled to sequential turn-on of colors, total turn-off by which the emission of all the light beams is stopped, or total turn-on. A semitransparent reflecting film is formed between the liquid crystal display device and the illuminating unit.
