  • Publication number: 20240105665
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes: a first frame, a second frame spaced apart from the first frame in a first direction, and a first joint terminal provided above a second chip provided on the second frame. The first frame includes a first terminal portion extending toward the second frame. The first joint terminal includes a second terminal portion extending toward the first frame. The second terminal portion includes a plane portion, a first projecting portion and a second projecting portion each branching out from the plane portion. An end portion of the first projecting portion and an end portion of the second projecting portion are respectively joined on the first terminal portion. The first projecting portion is different in a length in a first direction from the second projecting portion.

  • Patent number: 8964065
    Abstract: Digest playback which suits various preferences is realized. A video camera (100) extracts a portion to be played back as a digest from a video picture. The video camera (100) includes a control section (300) configured to extract attribute information concerning a video picture from the video picture. The attribute information is configured so that a user can input contents of the attribute information.

  • Publication number: 20130297608
    Abstract: A content presentation device including: an obtaining unit which obtains a preference of a first user, a preference of a second user, content identification information identifying a plurality of content items associated with the second user, and relationship information indicating a relationship between the first user and the second user; a content evaluating unit which evaluates display of each of the content items, based on the relationship information and a preference correlation between the preference of the first user and the preference of the second user, wherein the content evaluating unit gives a high evaluation to a content item associated with the second user, the content item having the preference correlation lower than a certain preference correlation and an affinity score higher than a certain affinity score, and the affinity score indicating strength of the relationship between the first user and the second user.

  • Patent number: 8014071
    Abstract: The present invention provides a light selective transmission filter which selectively shields light and has a high transmittance of light at a specific wavelength such as visible rays, and which has a sufficiently reduced thickness and excellent heat resistance. The present invention further provides a lens unit including such a light selective transmission filter. The light selective transmission filter selectively reducing a transmittance of light has a thickness of less than 200 ?m and includes a base material containing a functional film with reflow resistance. The lens unit includes such a light selective transmission filter and a lens.
