  • Publication number: 20110075376
    Abstract: A module substrate having a heat-generative electronic component mounted thereon includes first and second dielectric substrates and an intermediate heat transfer film. The heat-generative electronic component is flip-chip bonded on a wiring layer formed on the main surface of the first dielectric substrate through a solder bump. The second dielectric substrate is attached to the upper surface of the electronic component through an insulating layer. The intermediate heat transfer film for transferring heat generated by the electronic component to the second dielectric substrate is attached between the insulating layer and the second dielectric substrate so as to make the intermediate heat transfer film in close contact with the lower surface of the second dielectric substrate, thereby suppressing the temperature of the heat-generative electronic component in operation from increasing.

  • Patent number: 7835615
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus includes an encoder and a processor. The encoder generates reproduction units each including I/B/P picture data, and information indicating reproduction time to reproduce each of the pictures to generate a data stream. The processor generates, in accordance with the type of the recording medium, one of basic picture information and reproduction unit information, and time length information. Such information is stored in one or more tables of the respective units as management information. The basic picture information defines a correspondence between a reproduction time to reproduce the first I picture which is recorded at the top of the each unit, and a recording position of the I picture. The reproduction unit information defines a correspondence between a reproduction time length of each unit and a recording position of the I picture. The time length information relates to the reproduction time length on pictures in each unit.

  • Patent number: 7811872
    Abstract: An opening for forming a gate electrode is provided by a first photoresist pattern formed on an insulating film. Reactive ion etching by inductively coupled plasma is applied to the insulating film through the first photoresist pattern as a mask to thereby expose the surface of a GaN semiconductor layer, evaporating thereon a gate metal such as NiAu, thereby forming the gate electrode by self-aligned process. This prevents an oxidized film from being formed on the surface of the semiconductor layer. After the gate electrode is formed, a second photoresist pattern is formed to form a field plate on the gate electrode and the insulating film through the second photoresist pattern as a mask. Thereby, Ti having a high adhesiveness with an insulating film made of SiN or the like can be used as a field plate metal.

  • Patent number: 7804942
    Abstract: A tone transmission part transmits a tone signal. A tone signal detection part detects data representing an echo signal of the tone signal transmitted by the tone transmission part, and detects data representing a predetermined tone signal targeted to be detected. The tone signal detection part also detects data representing tone signals of all of input signals. A tone judgment part excludes the data representing the echo signal from the data representing the tone signals of all of the input signals so as to judge a detection of the predetermined tone signal.

  • Publication number: 20100142929
    Abstract: There is provided an operation mechanism for rapidly performing content list display and title menu display in a recording device itself or in other devices such as a player and a recorder while eliminating the necessity of creation or recording of the title menu data by a recording device. A data processing device includes a memory and a recording unit. The memory contains a computer-readable program which can be read out by a computer. The computer program causes the computer to search for a data stream of the content recorded in the recording medium, display the content information concerning the data stream found by the search in a menu, and execute processing enabling selection of a data stream by using the content information. The recording unit records at least one data stream in a given recording medium and records the program stored in the memory on its recording medium.

  • Publication number: 20090315122
    Abstract: The present invention provides a semiconductor device having a recess-structured ohmic electrode, in which the resistance is small and variation in the resistance value caused by manufacturing irregularities is small. In the semiconductor device of the present invention, a two-dimensional electron gas layer is formed on the interface between a channel-forming layer and a Schottky layer by electrons supplied from the Schottky layer. The ohmic electrode comprises a plurality of side faces in ohmic contact with the two-dimensional electron gas layer. At least a part of side faces of the ohmic electrodes are non-parallel to a channel width direction. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side faces have a saw tooth form or a comb tooth form. Since the contact area between the ohmic electrode and the two-dimensional electron gas layer is increased, ohmic resistance is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20090263105
    Abstract: The present invention provides a recording apparatus that generates a transport stream so that a boundary between recording units (aligned units) and a file division point (i.e., a boundary between GOPs) always coincide with each other without obtaining information on the file size or the like. When generating a transport stream by time-division multiplexing transport packets, n or more transport packets (e.g., null packets N) other than a video packet are inserted between a video packet group generated from a single encoding unit (GOP) and a video packet group subsequent to the video packet group. When d indicates the data length of the transport packet, h indicates the data length of a fixed-length header added to each of the transport packets before being recorded on a data recording medium, and L indicates a recording unit length to the data recording medium, L?(n+1)×(d+h) is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 7577337
    Abstract: An audio/video data recording/reproducing device is provided that allows all video and audio signals, which can be displayed by a display of the audio/video data recording/reproducing device proper, to be output to an exterior through a digital interface. Such audio/video signals are in the forms of, for example, files as recorded including a moving picture file, a still picture file, and a file resulting from synthesization of a moving picture file with a still picture file. When the digital interface of the recording/reproducing device is connected to a digital TV, a synthesized signal from a synthesizing part 117, after being encoded into an MPEG-TS in an encoder 103, is output from a 1394 interface part 121. When the digital interface is connected to another editor or recording device, a recording signal from a reproducing part 116 is output as it is from the 1394 interface part 121.
