Abstract: Access point pictures designated as randomly accessible positions are I pictures or P pictures. Information indicating the decoding sequence (I1, P1, B1, B2, B3, B4, P2, . . . ) of pictures functioning as access points and attribute information (picture_type) indicating whether a picture functions as an access point or is necessary for decoding of the access point following a given access point are recorded on the video information recording medium. Random access is possible even if the GOP interval is lengthened.

Abstract: In a recording medium on which is recorded a multiplexed stream including a plurality of first packets (V_main) constituting a first I-picture in a first video stream and a plurality of second packets (V_sub) constituting a second I-picture in a second video stream, information for identifying the first I-picture and information for identifying the second I-picture are recorded on the medium. A recording medium can thereby be obtained that enables the rapid detection, from a small amount of information, of a particular picture included in a stream such as a TS in which multiple content streams are multiplexed.

Abstract: A constant current power supply apparatus is provided which can drive a load with a constant current, even if the circuit configuration is such that a time delay is generated in the feedback control of a converter, or the like. An FB period restricting circuit including an ON generation circuit, OR circuit, inverter, and PMOS restricts the period during which an FB signal is fed back, to the logical sum of the ON period of an SW signal for driving an LED array on and a replenishment period generated by the OR circuit based on the SW signal. An FB signal generation circuit including a differential amplifier, NMOS, reference voltage, capacitor, and shunt regulator generates, in the replenishment period other than the ON period of the SW signal, an FB signal corresponding to an output current having flown through the LED array during the ON period of the SW signal.

Abstract: A connector is attachable to an object and connectable to a card inserted rearward. The connector has a predetermined portion which is located at a position same as that of an upper surface of the object. The connector comprises a housing and a contact. The contact has a held portion and a spring portion. The held portion is held by the housing. The spring portion has a contact portion and a guide portion. The contact portion is located forward of the held portion. The guide portion is located forward of the contact portion. When the card is inserted in the connector, the contact portion is brought into contact with the card. In the meantime, the guide portion is moved downward without being brought into contact with any part of the connector, and at least a part of the guide portion is located below the predetermined portion.

Abstract: A connector is connectable with a card which is inserted from an insertion opening. The card has a terminal. The connector comprises a holding member and a contact. The holding member has a rear support portion and a front support portion. The contact is held by the holding member. The contact has a base portion and a spring portion. The base portion has a rear supported portion, a front supported portion and a movable starting point. The rear supported portion is supported by the rear support portion. The front supported portion is supported by the front support portion. The movable starting point is positioned between the rear supported portion and the front supported portion. The spring portion extends frontward from the movable starting point in a front-rear direction. The spring portion is provided with a contact point which is to be in contact with the terminal of the card.
