    Abstract: In one example, a method includes outputting, at a presence-sensitive display operatively coupled to a computing device, a graphical keyboard comprising a plurality of keys and receiving an indication of a gesture to select a group of keys of the plurality of keys. The method may further include determining, in response to the indication, a candidate word based at least in part on the group of keys. The method may further include determining a group of alignment points traversed by the gesture and respective cost values for each of at least two keys of the plurality of keys. The method may further include comparing the respective cost values for at least each of at least two keys of the plurality of keys to determine a combination of keys having a combined cost value and outputting the candidate word that is based on the respective cost values.

  • Patent number: 7759001
    Abstract: A circuit substrate (3) being electrically connected to a rechargeable battery (2) is arranged upon a sealing plate (23) with a gap therebetween and united with the rechargeable battery (2) by filling resin in the gap. A primary mold (11) formed by the resin is firmly retained by undercut portions formed in engaging protrusions (26). The engaging protrusions (26) may be formed by welding separate engaging members (126, 126a, 126b, 126c, 66, 68).

  • Patent number: 7319776
    Abstract: An overall image obtained by successively imaging different imaging regions a plurality of times during an image period using an imaging device is separated into a plurality of partial images respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of imaging operations. In cases where the object of imaging consists only of a static object, all of the partial images show more or less the same data. However, in cases where the object of imaging includes a moving object in addition to a static object, differences are generated in the partial images, which have different imaging timing. Accordingly, a judgement as to whether or not a moving object is contained in the overall image produced by synthesizing the plurality of partial images can be made by comparing the partial images.

  • Publication number: 20060153323
    Abstract: Upon reception of digital broadcast, system clocks which follow PCR data of an MPEG2-TS are provided. Upon disc playback, system clocks as fixed clocks are provided. To this end, upon processing the MPEG2-TS, first clocks CK1 synchronized with the PCR data are generated. If the user designates playback using high-precision clocks, third clocks CK3 as fixed clocks are generated. If the user does not designate any high-precision clock playback, clocks CK1 are generated. When use of clocks CK1 is stopped, clocks CK3 are generated after second clocks CK2 synchronized with clocks CK3 are mediated.
