  • Patent number: 11942242
    Abstract: A wiring member includes a wiring body and a pattern. The wiring body includes a plurality of wire-like transmission members and a base material. The plurality of wire-like transmission members are fixed to the base material in an aligned state, and the pattern is provided on the wiring body. The pattern makes a two-dimensional position of at least a part of a portion related to the base material recognizable in the wiring body.

  • Publication number: 20230372893
    Abstract: An activated carbon for adsorbing neutral per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds used in quantitative analysis of neutral per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds in a water sample includes an activated carbon having a BET specific surface area of 900 m2/g or more for desorbably adsorbing neutral per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds distributed in a gas phase from the water sample by aerating or bubbling, with an inert gas as a carrier gas, the water sample sealed in a vessel and temperature-controlled to a temperature at which the neutral per- and polyfluoroalkyl compounds can be distributed in a gas phase.

  • Patent number: 8482624
    Abstract: An image pickup device is equipped with a function to a pickup still picture during a moving picture pickup operation with voices. After a moving picture pickup processing with voices is started (YES in S2), a moving picture recording processing and a voice recording processing are started (S14). Subsequently, when a shutter button is depressed halfway (YES in S16), the moving picture recording processing is switched to a processing to store substitute frames, which are a copy of frame data immediately preceding the half depression operation of the shutter button, instead of moving picture frames imaged in moving picture frame cycles (step S20), and a still picture pickup processing is performed. After the still picture pickup processing ends, the normal moving picture recording processing is resumed.

  • Patent number: 7606470
    Abstract: An image pickup apparatus operating in a moving picture photographing mode, wherein, before a start of moving picture photographing is indicated by a shutter button on a key input section, a clock frequency of a control section is made to be a normal frequency so that electricity consumption is reduced in a monitoring state to lengthen the life of a battery, and wherein, when the start of moving picture photographing is indicated, the clock frequency is increased to a large extent by a clock switching control section, so that an MPEG converter can access at a high speed an SDRAM storing YUV data such as reference data, search data, or the like at the time of encoding processing of moving picture data, and the moving picture compression can be achieved in real-time.
