Abstract: An object is to provide a waterproof connector which can prevent an electric wire from being removed and which can reduce number of components, An engagement hole is provided at a housing portion of a housing, and a lance is provided at a rubber stopper containing resin. When the lance and the engagement hole are engaged to each other, the rubber stopper containing resin is fixed within the housing.

Abstract: An optical disc includes a data area for recording a plurality of video segments and an index area from recording original type chain information and user-defined type chain information. The original type chain information defines an original type chain including first ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the first video segments. The user-defined type chain information defines a user-defined type chain including second ones of the video segments by describing a reproduction order of the second video segments. The first video segments are positioned in the data area in the reproduction order of the first video segments whereas the second video segments are positioned in the data area independently of the reproduction order of the second video segments.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a glass substrate containing SiO2 as a main ingredient thereof for an information recording medium which ensures removal of abrasive or foreign mater adhered to the glass substrate without complicating a cleaning step, involves, after a polishing step, keeping the surface of the glass substrate in contact with a liquid having a Si element elution in a range from 100 to 10 000 ppb/mm2 before a scrub-cleaning step.

Abstract: A method for cleaning a glass substrate which ensures removal of abrasive and other foreign matter without making a cleaning step complicated involves cleaning the glass substrate by scrubbing using two or more types of cleaning liquid having different Si element elution abilities. The cleaning liquid having the highest Si element elution is used first, and the cleaning liquid having the lowest Si element elution is used last.

Abstract: A multimedia optical disc for recording main video data which is composed of sets of frame data that is processed beforehand to allow compatibility with displays of a plurality of aspect ratios. The disc has a stream area storing streams made up of the main video data and a plurality of sets of sub-picture data, with each set of sub-picture data including a set of tel-op data and a set of coordinate information showing a display position of the set of tel-op data. The disc also includes a control area storing a plurality of pairings of a set of display mode information and a set of sub-picture indicating information. Each set of display mode information shows a species of display method according to which the frame data is to be processed for a case when the frame data decoded from the main video data is displayed at one of the plurality of aspect ratios.

Abstract: A reproduction route composed of a still image section and a motion image section is recorded on a recordable DVD. A drive device (93) reads picture data from the DVD-RAM. An MPEG decoder (95) decodes and displays the read picture data. By referring to cell information, the judgment is performed as to whether the read picture data belongs to the still image section or the motion image data. If the read picture data belongs to the still image section, the next picture data is read out after a predetermined wait time.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glass substrate for an information recording medium, wherein the abrasive and foreign matters adhered on the glass substrate after the polishing step are surely removed without making the cleaning step complicated. The glass substrate is cleaned by scrubbing with water to which 0.5-5.0 mass % of hydrogen peroxide has been added as a cleaning solution.

Abstract: A multimedia optical disc on which a variety of types of video titles are recorded and which enables a reproduction apparatus to instantly distinguish whether emulated AV functions may be performed for any of the titles. The multimedia optical disc includes a manager area which stores playback type information corresponding to the management information for each video title, with the playback type information including a first flag showing whether the present video title is expressed using one or a plurality of sets of route information and a second flag showing whether a title is expressed using any branch information.

Abstract: A sound detecting mechanism capable of forming a diaphragm and a back electrode on a substrate by a simple process includes acoustic holes corresponding to perforations formed on a front surface of a substrate. A second protective film, a sacrificial layer and a metal film are laminated on the front surface in a portion corresponding to the acoustic holes. The substrate is etched from the back surface thereof to a depth reaching the acoustic holes to form an acoustic opening. Subsequently, by effecting an etching from the back surface of the substrate through the acoustic holes, the sacrificial layer is removed and a void area is formed between the diaphragm made of the metal film, the substrate and the formed perforations. The sacrificial layer that remains after the etching is used as a spacer for maintaining a gap between the back electrode and the diaphragm.

Abstract: A data processor includes: a parser receiving a data stream and separating, from the stream, video data including data of pictures, a first time information value showing a presentation time of each picture, audio data including data of frames, and a second time information value showing a presentation time of each frame; an output section for outputting the video and audio data to play back the pictures and frames; a reference register for counting amount of time passed since a predetermined reference time; a first differential register for calculating a difference between the first time information value of each picture and the time passed and holding it as a first differential value when the picture is output; a second differential register for calculating the difference between the second time information value of each frame and the time passed and holding it as a second differential value when the frame is output; and a control section for controlling the output of the video data according to the magnitu
