Abstract: A digital broadcast sending/receiving system includes a digital broadcast sending apparatus and a digital broadcast receiving apparatus. The digital broadcast sending apparatus multiplexes the audio data and video data of a broadcast program into the transport stream together with preselection control information which controls preselection information image facilitating program preselection, and sends the transport stream to the digital broadcast receiving apparatus. On receiving the transport stream, the digital broadcast receiving apparatus extracts the preselection control information, and reproduces a preselection screen on a display in which the preselection information image is superimposed on the video image of the broadcast program. The digital broadcast receiving apparatus receives from the viewer specification of a program to be preselected.

The multi-layer paper has a peel strength of 10 N/m or less and may be delaminated into at least two tissue sheets.

Abstract: A parts mounter including a unit for supplying a part, circuit board supporting means for fastening a circuit board when mounting a part, parts mounting means including a mechanism loaded with a suction nozzle and for vertically moving the suction nozzle when sucking and holding a part, and for positioning the suction nozzle at any position, and nozzle exchanging means including a mechanism for removing and installing a requested suction nozzle from and to the parts mounting means. The parts mounting means further includes a nozzle existence checking sensor for performing detection of conditions of a suction nozzle loaded to the parts mounting means.

Abstract: A data transmission apparatus has a multiplexing unit that cyclically multiplexes presentation information and navigation information stored in a transmission data storage unit according to control by a multiplexing control unit and a transmission unit that transmits the multiplexed stream. The reception control unit of a data reception apparatus sets filter conditions in a filter condition storage unit of a TS decoder unit in accordance with user operation indications. The presentation information and navigation information separated by the TS decoder unit are outputted via a reproduction unit to a display unit and an audio output unit.

Abstract: At the time when the detection unit 11 detects disconnection of a device, the judgement unit 14 controls the timing unit 12 to start measuring elapsed time since the detection. When the measured elapsed time reaches a predetermined time, the uninstall process of control software for the device is started. Further, the uninstall process includes a plurality of stages, and the judgement unit 14 executes each stage in response to the measured elapsed time. If the detection unit 11 detects reconnection of the device before the uninstall process has been completed, the judgement unit 14 stops the uninstall process and restores the control software and related information to the state before the uninstall process.

Abstract: A component mounting apparatus includes a board transfer section for carrying in one of circuit boards to a component mounting position and carrying out the circuit board after component-mounting, a component feed section for feeding to a specified position a component to be mounted onto the circuit board, a component mounting section for loading a suction nozzle matching the component to be mounted, sucking up the-component from the component feed section and moving the component to the mounting position, and mounting the component to a specified site of the circuit board, a controller for controlling operations of the individual sections to execute a productional operation of component-mounting onto the circuit boards, and a remaining-component discarding device for performing an operation of discarding a component which remains at the suction nozzle during a time period for which the component-mounting operation by the component mounting section is kept halted.

Abstract: A terminal apparatus is provided for displaying an image by reproducing a piece of image information and for interactively changing the image using navigation information. The image is a moving picture, a still picture, or a mixture of them. The image information and the navigation information together are broadcast by a broadcasting station to the terminal apparatus. The navigation information indicates a plurality pieces of link-target image information. The cache unit stores a pair of image information and navigation information. The reproducing unit reproduces the image information. The monitoring unit monitors whether an operator has performed a certain operation responding to the image displayed.

Abstract: A broadcast reception apparatus is provided with a reception unit for receiving broadcast data as a transport stream. The transport stream includes video data and a plurality of navigation information sequences. Each navigation information sequence includes navigation information which includes graphics data to be combined with the video data for display. A TS (Transport Stream) decoder unit extracts the video data and navigation information from the transport stream. A reception control unit controls the TS decoder unit so that the TS decoder unit extracts navigation information from a navigation information sequence which is suitable for the the broadcast reception apparatus. A navigation information storage unit stores the navigation information extracted by the TS decoder unit.

Abstract: A control device controls to move a chucking mechanism part to a first stop height 451 at a first speed, then at a second speed lower than the first speed before the chucking mechanism part comes in touch with a part from the first stop height, and stop when the chucking mechanism part touches the part, thereby to hold the part. So, a shock to the part when the part is held is reduced in the constitution, and the apparatus becomes light-weight because of the elimination of a shock-absorbing mechanism, hence realizing high-speed mounting.
