  • Publication number: 20070094736
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an information processing apparatus adapted for processing contents provided by contents distribution service. To contents distributed by a contents server (12), a sublicense which prescribes utilization conditions of the respective contents is added. From a license server (13), a main license which prescribes utilization condition of the entirety of contents distributed via channel that user contracts is provided. When it is instructed that contents are reproduced, reproduction of contents is permitted at a receiver (15) in the case where utilization conditions prescribed by the sublicense and the main license are both satisfied.

  • Publication number: 20070088450
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to realize, in a coating and developing apparatus including an inspection section, reduction in the startup time, cost reduction, and an improved operating rate of the inspection section. In the present invention, a control program of the coating and developing apparatus is set such that a processing flow and an inspection flow can be independently executed, the processing flow being a flow in which a substrate is carried to a processing station from a cassette station to be processed in the processing station and an aligner and thereafter is returned to the cassette station, and the inspection flow being a flow in which the substrate is carried from the cassette station to an inspection station to be inspected there, and is thereafter returned to the cassette station.

  • Publication number: 20060204863
    Abstract: Light exposure areas 103 and light masking areas 104 in a sole reticle are arrayed in alternation to one another in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. Substrate is exposed to light by multi-domain light exposure using this reticle so that the respective areas of the reticle exposed to light with respective shots A to B, B to C . . . , N to M are not adjacent to one another in the boundary portions of the reticle shifted for executing the respective shots, thus relaxing the difference in illuminance between the respective shots and the difference in finish of the boundary portions of the shots, such differences becoming imperceptible to human eyes upon displaying liquid crystal display apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20060187392
    Abstract: A semi-transmissive-type liquid crystal display device is provided which is capable of preventing an electric erosion reaction between a reflective film made of Al (aluminum) or an Al alloy and a transparent electrode film made of ITO or a like (Indium Tin Oxide) and of inhibiting occurrence of a flicker caused by a residual DC (Direct Current) voltage in the reflective film. In the semi-transmissive-type of a liquid crystal display device, a transmissive region to provide light from a backlight source and a reflective region to receive ambient light are placed in a pixel region and a transparent electrode film is formed above a reflective film formed in the reflective region on an active matrix substrate with a second passivation film being interposed between the reflective film and the transparent electrode film.

  • Patent number: 7060310
    Abstract: Disclosed is an inhibitory agent for, kneaded meat and process for producing fish and meat paste products, especially, kamabokos, and fish sausages. The inhibitory agent comprises (i) a member selected from sorbitol, trehalose, mixture thereof, and another saccharide(s) containing sorbitol and/or trehalose; and (ii) a pH-controlling agent which adjusts a kneaded meat to an alkaline pH. The agent effectively inhibits the protein denaturation of kneaded meat, and fish- and meat-paste products without using phosphate.
