Abstract: The data replacement output apparatus 10 determines whether to perform a sequential output of replacement data based on a comparison between (i) the number of units of data constituting replacement object data received during a time period and (ii) the number of units of data constituting replacement data output during the time period. The determination is made each time replacement object data is received while the sequential output of data is not performed. If it determines to perform the sequential output, the data replacement output apparatus 10 outputs replacement data each time data constituting a data stream is received, and outputs non-replacement-object data each time data constituting non-replacement-object data is received while the sequential output is not performed; if it determines not to perform the sequential output, it outputs non-replacement-object data each time a unit of data constituting the data stream is received.

Abstract: A receiving unit (101) of a print data generating apparatus (100), which enables a printing that reflects user's preferences even in a digital broadcasting environment, receives and modulates digital broadcast waves. A video/data separating unit (102) separates a signal received from the receiving unit (101) into a video packet, an audio packet and a data packet that includes print information. A print information storing unit (104) is a RAM for storing print information, or the like, and reads the print information from the data packet received from the video/data separating unit (102), and stores it.

The frequency band controlling part 107 selects a frequency band for the transmission line and a frequency band for the reception line for the base station 200 according to this assignable frequency band contained in the control signal.

Abstract: A data broadcast receiving apparatus includes a storage controlling unit and a reproduction controlling unit. The storage controlling unit stores data modules among a plurality of data modules included in received broadcast data, into a module storing unit and also stores storage information for each of the plurality of data modules into a storage information storing unit, the storage information showing the presence or absence of the data module in the module storing unit, a reason of the absence of the data module, and the like. When the user selects a data module as a reproduction target, the reproduction controlling unit judges whether the data module is stored unit, based on storage information of the data module. If the data module is not stored, the reproduction controlling unit displays a message informing the user of the fact and reason that the data module is not stored.

Abstract: A broadcast system composed of a first broadcast apparatus and a second broadcast apparatus. The first broadcast apparatus broadcasts a broadcast program composed of contents stream data and attachment data, and provides the second broadcast apparatus with the broadcast program. The attachment data contains information that indicates timing with which the attachment data is to be reproduced in synchronization with the contents stream data. The image sync information contains PCRs generated by the PCR generating apparatus of the first broadcast apparatus based on the standard time for the first broadcast apparatus. The image sync information replacing apparatus of the second broadcast apparatus replaces the PCRs with other PCRs which are newly generated based on the standard time for the second broadcast apparatus so that it can correctly reproduce the attachment data in synchronization with the encoded contents stream data.

Abstract: A reception side radio station has a notification signal generator 108 which transmits a notification signal for notifying information of a frequency of a radio link being used at the radio station, and a transmitter 111 which transmits information indicating a reception power level and its frequency as radio signal data. On the other hand, a transmission side radio station has a notification signal measurer 106 which measures a reception power level of the notification signal and detects the frequency notified by the signal, and a frequency band controller 109 which determines an assignable frequency band for a radio link between the transmission side radio station and the reception side radio station based on the radio signal data and the notification signal.

Abstract: A data broadcast program transport stream (TS) transmission device provided in a broadcast station, and for transmitting a data broadcast program TS based on a data broadcast program TS distributed over a network by another broadcast station. The data broadcast program TS transmission device stores a selection list that shows whether data broadcast program elements of the received data broadcast program are for inclusion in the data broadcast program TS of the broadcast station, and a replacement list that shows the replacement of data broadcast program elements for inclusion with local program elements produced in the broadcast station. A separation judgment unit separates TS packets from the received data broadcast program TS, refers to the selection list, and notifies the replacement execution unit of data broadcast program elements for inclusion.

Abstract: A data broadcast program control system is made up of a transmission apparatus for repeatedly transmitting a plurality of data elements that constitute a data broadcast program, and a broadcast apparatus for receiving and broadcasting the plurality of data elements. The transmission apparatus generates control information for instructing the broadcast apparatus to perform change processing on the constitution of the data broadcast program, and transmits the control information to the broadcast apparatus. The broadcast apparatus receives the control information, and performs the change processing on the constitution of the data broadcast program according to the control information. The broadcast apparatus broadcasts the data broadcast program whose constitution has been changed.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided a structure of a tail gate formed by bonding peripheral edge portions and their vicinities of an inner panel and an outer panel to each other, and covering a rear portion of a vehicle body so as to freely open and close, wherein a cover is arranged in an inner side of said inner panel, and wherein a lock apparatus provided with a latch capable of engaging with a striker fixed to a vehicle body is disposed between said inner panel and said cover, thereby, it is possible to make it harder to carry out an illegal locking and unlocking operation with respect to a tail gate, with a relatively simple constitution and without increasing number of parts.

Abstract: A data stream selection/output apparatus that selects and outputs a data stream composed of sequentially obtained data. The data stream selection/output apparatus obtains timing information indicating a time at which a first data stream being output should be switched to a second data stream. The data stream selection/output apparatus, in a time period including the time indicated by the timing information, scans the first and second data streams to detect a first boundary between data blocks of the first data stream and a second boundary between data blocks of the second data stream, where the data blocks conform to a transmission protocol higher than Transport Layer of OSI Reference Model. The data stream selection/output apparatus then stops outputting the first data stream at the first block boundary and starts outputting the second data stream at the second block boundary.
