Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a first structural body, a second structural body and interconnections. The first and the second structural bodies are separated in a first direction and extend in a second direction. The interconnections are provided between the first structural body and the second structural body, extend in the second direction, and are separated from each other along a third direction. The first and the second structural bodies each includes an insulating member, a column-shaped body and an insulating film. The insulating member and the column-shaped body are disposed in an alternating manner along the second direction and extend in the third direction. The insulating members of the first and second structural bodies make contact with the interconnections.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel in which the bright point defect is effectively corrected is provided. The method of manufacturing a liquid crystal panel 11 including a pair of substrates 40 and 30, and a liquid crystal layer 50 provided between the pair of the substrates 40 and 30 includes detecting a bright point defect in the liquid crystal panel 11; forming a first light blocking portion BL1 in one of the substrates 40 and 30 and in a part of an area that surrounds the bright point defect with a plan view; forming a recess in a portion of one of the substrates 40, 30 that overlaps the bright point defect and on a surface of the one of the substrates 40 and 30 that is opposite from a surface facing the liquid crystal layer; and forming a second light blocking portion BL2 in the recess.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a data receiver 113 that receives a request for a structural document from a terminal apparatus, a document divider 114 that divides a structural document read out from a document memory 111 in response to the data request into a page abstract 88 that shows a summary and divisional document data, and a divisional document transmitter 116 that delivers the page abstract 88 or the divisional document, configured such that the web document is division-communicated and then converted into a web document that is usable on the terminal side, and redundancy upon communication of structural documents is thus reduced through use of conversion.

Abstract: The present invention is configured such that a divided document data is added link information that indicates a link to a different divided document data, and the title of the different divided document data, top word/phrase in the different divided document data, or word/phrase that represents the different divided document data is added into the link information. In addition, the present invention is configured such that the word/phrase length, character color, or character size varies in accordance with the data volume of the different page that the link information corresponds to.

Abstract: An image compression and restoration technique may be used as a substitute for JPEG. In this technique, orthogonal transforms are performed on the original image signals without interpolation, which means it requires less calculation than JPEG standard. Furthermore, the degradation of the image quality can be suppressed. After that quantization, re-ordering and Huffman coding follow. The Huffman coding is also unique in the sense that unlike JPEG, it uses the data from the previous blocks which results in a more simple, less CPU intensive codec technique. Conversely, the compressed data is restored using a procedure reverse to that of the aforementioned compression technique.

Abstract: An improved motion vector detecting method is provided that can ensure a wide search area while suppressing detection of erroneous motion vectors at the same time. Specifically, when detecting motion vectors from a first and a second image frame, the method divides the second image frame into blocks, classifies the blocks into a first and a second group such that the mutually adjacent blocks belong to the different groups. The method specifies a motion vector candidate for each of the blocks in the first and second groups, then performs the process of updating the motion vector candidate by studying an average of the motion vector candidates of the adjacent blocks for each of the blocks in the first and second groups. The process is repeated for a certain time.

Abstract: A variable length data transmission apparatus is provided which includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter splits input variable length data into first code blocks having a block length k to convert them into a plurality of first error-correcting codes having a code length n and including k information symbols. When a data length of the variable length data is not a multiple of the block length k, the transmitter converts part of the variable length data which should be protected from errors with a higher degree of priority into a code block having a length shorter than the block length k and adds dummy bits to the second code block to convert the dummy bit-added second code block into a second error-correcting code, after which the dummy bits are removed from the second error-correcting code to provide a third error-correcting code.
