Abstract: Vector data indicating a plurality of points for representing an image is classified for storage under three groups: a group 1 of the vector data DP1, DP5, DP9 indicating indispensable points P1, P5, P9 required for recognition of graphics G; a group 2 of the vector data DP3, DP7 indicating first supplementary points P3, P7 for supplementing the points P1, P5, P9; and a group 3 of the vector data DP2, DP4, DP6, DP8 indicating second supplementary points P2, P4, P6, P8 for further supplementing the indispensable points P1, P5, P9 and first supplementary points P3, P7. When displaying an image, a selection is made between displaying the image represented by the group 1 and displaying the image represented by the group 1 plus the groups 2 and 3.

Abstract: A ten-key keypad for inputting numerals mounted on a portable telephone T is adapted to a zoom function and a scroll function for operating an image displayed on a display. The user can use the keys of the ten-key keypad to select the mode in which case the keys also serve as image operation keys.

Abstract: A plurality of data files D1 to Dm into which data to be distributed is divided by function are registered in a navigation server S for conducting data distribution service, and the navigation server S selects any data files from among the plurality of data files D1 to Dm, combines the selected data files into distributed data, and distributes the distributed data to a user terminal T.

Abstract: An objective position information supplying method in a navigation system for detecting a present position of a self vehicle, includes the steps of: judging whether or not a distance between the detected present position and an objective position is within a predetermined distance set for each of objective positions, which include a position scheduled to pass therethrough and a position scheduled to arrive thereat; judging whether or not a direction to the detected present position from the objective position is within a first angle range, which is set for each of the objective positions on a standard of a direction of the self vehicle to enter each of the objective positions; judging whether or not a direction to the objective position from the detected present position is within a second angle range, which is set with respect to an advance direction of the self vehicle at the detected present position; and supplying a predetermined kind of information as for the objective position to a driver if the judged

Abstract: A chip-type solid electrolytic capacitor includes a cathode conductive layer provided on a whole surface of a cathode layer formed on an outer surface of a capacitor element, which whole surface is opposite to a surface where an anode lead wire is lead out, and on a surface adjacent to the first-mentioned whole surface. With this arrangement, if the capacitor element is obliquely inserted into a mold during the formation of a resin shell, the inner walls of the mold will not come into contact with cathode layer of the capacitor element, but will instead come into contact with the cathode conductive layer to prevent the cathode layer from being exposed to the resin shell. As a result, any possible damage to the cathode layer of the capacitor element when the peripheral surface of the resin shell on a cathode side is subjected to roughening is prevented to eliminate defects in electric characteristics such as leakage of electric current and a tan.delta. value.
