Abstract: A pressure sensor includes a diaphragm on a silicon substrate and a plurality of piezoelectric element areas that change in resistance according the distortion of the diaphragm. The plurality of piezoelectric element areas of the pressure sensor include a first piezoelectric element area, a second piezoelectric element area, a third piezoelectric element area, and a fourth piezoelectric element area. The diaphragm has a maximum deflection area whose stress becomes 80% or more of a maximum stress when distorted by a predetermined pressure. The first piezoelectric element area, the second piezoelectric element area, the third piezoelectric element area, and the fourth piezoelectric element area are disposed in the maximum deflection area.

Abstract: An inductor component has electrode portions, a winding portion in which a conductor is wound by three or more turns, and lead portions located at both ends of the winding portion and connecting the winding portion and the electrode portions. Winding intervals of the respective turns in the winding portion decrease monotonically from one end to the other end of the winding portion.

Abstract: A display technology is capable of facilitating a grasp of text information when scrolling the text information at a high speed and selecting a broad block of the text information. An information display method of the present invention comprises a step of displaying the text information by defining a display block thereof in the case of displaying the text information on a screen, a step of detecting a manipulation of moving the display block, a step of displaying the text information during a movement of the display block, and a step of changing a character size or a character pitch of the text information to be displayed. Another information display method of the present invention comprises a step of selecting a partial area of information from the text information, a step of calculating a size of the partial area of information selected from the text information, and a step of changing a character size or a character pitch of the text information to be displayed.

Abstract: A document processing apparatus displays a created document on a display screen and carries out an editing process with respect to the created document in response to an instruction from pointing device for pointing on the display screen. The document processing apparatus includes a detecting mechanism for detecting whether or not a document region change request which requests a change of a document region is issued, and a changing mechanism for changing a first document region on the display screen pointed by the pointing device to a prescribed region to which pointing of the pointing device changes when the detecting mechanism detects issuance of the document region change request.

Abstract: A document creating apparatus creates a document in response to handwritten data generated from a handwritten data input device and displays the created document on a display screen. The document creating apparatus includes a setting mechanism for setting on the display screen one or a plurality of normalized regions having a normalized size as an attribute and one or a plurality of non-normalized regions having no normalized size as the attribute, a judging mechanism for judging whether input data are input to the normalized region or the non-normalized region, a first storing mechanism for converting a size of the input data into a normalized size of the normalized region and storing the normalized input data in a memory when the judging mechanism judges that the input data are input to the normalized region, and a second storing mechanism for storing the input data in the memory as they are when the judging mechanism judges that the input data are input to the non-normalized region.

Abstract: Data of a memory cell in a cell array is read out by a readout circuit by use of a word line potential which is the same as that at the program verify time. After the end of the readout operation, data of the same memory cell is read out by the readout circuit by use of a word line potential (refresh verify potential) which is lower than the word line potential at the program verify time and higher than the word line potential at the read time. Then, data read out by use of the word line potential which is the same as that at the program verify time is compared with data read out by use of the word line potential which is set at the refresh verify potential and whether or not the additional write operation for holding data is effected for the memory cell is determined according to the result of comparison.

Abstract: An information processing system for processing a document including non-coded data comprising an extracting unit for extracting non-coded data included in the document, a label information making unit for making a label information item from the non-coded data, the label information item representing a feature of the non-coded data, a management unit for managing documents so that each of the documents corresponds to the label information item, and a retrieval unit for, when a label information item is supplied as a retrieval key, retrieving a document which is managed so that the document corresponds to a label information item substantially identical to the specified label information item, from documents managed by the management unit.

Abstract: A memory cell array is constructed by electrically programmable non-volatile memory cells. A memory peripheral circuit creates an address signal for designating an address in the memory cell array by means of the row decoder and the column decoder to effect the access operation for the memory cell array. An ATD circuit for generating a control signal which permits selection of the memory cell involved in the access operation in the memory cell array for a preset period of time in response to a variation of the address signal is provided. A latch circuit for latching readout data from the memory cell in an active period of the control signal is provided. That is, all of the memory cells in the memory cell array are set in the non-selected state in a period other than the active period of the control signal.
