It is also possible to use an acrylic resin film material exhibiting a difference of 30% or less between haze values as determined in accordance with the testing method of JIS K7136 (haze measurement method) after and before a tensile test where a test piece with a width of 20 mm is pulled under the conditions of an initial inter-chuck distance of 25 mm, a rate of 50 mm/min and a temperature of 23° C. until an end-point inter-chuck distance becomes 33 mm as well as having a pencil hardness of 2B or higher as determined in accordance with JIS K5400.

Abstract: When an imaging device is set to a BS shooting mode, the imaging device goes into a through-image display state of an object being shot. When a user operates a SET-key, the imaging device is changed to a detailed-screen state in which a sample image, etc., corresponding to each shooting scene is singly displayed. When the user operates a Wide-key of the zoom key in the detailed-screen display state, the imaging device is changed to a multi-screen state of the sample image corresponding to each shooting scene. The user can select a sample image in the detailed-screen state and the multi-screen state. When the user selects a sample image and operates the SET-key, the parameters of the shooting scene corresponding to the selected sample image are set as shooting conditions and the imaging device returns to the through-image display state.

Abstract: Plural LEDs 21 are mounted on a top surface 20a of a circuit board 20, and a circuit pattern 22 for supplying power to the LEDs 21 and metallic film islands 23 for heat radiation are provided on a back surface 20b. Further, lens 30 is provided on the top surface 20a of the circuit board 20, that is, a surface where the circuit pattern 22 and the metallic film islands 23 are not provided, so as to cover each of the LEDs 21. The lens 30 is cured after dripping a liquid resin including a silicone resin containing silica. Therefore, distortion of the cover members formed on the substrate by dripping the liquid resin is suppressed.

Abstract: A diamond-like carbon film (DLC film) is formed on the surface of a base material made of an inorganic material, such as ceramics, or the like, or an organic material, such as resin, or the like. The surface of the resultant DLC film is treated with plasma, or the like, so as to be activated. Various monomers having biocompatibility, etc., are graft-polymerized to the activated surface of the DLC film, whereby a polymer layer is formed from the monomers grafted to the surface of the DLC film. Thus, the base material coated with the DLC film modified with a polymer which does not readily separate can be realized.

Abstract: When a continuous-zoom-photographing mode is selected, a through image of a subject and first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames are produced on an image-display section. When a user operates a cross key, recorded information about a trimming position of each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames is updated according to the cross-key operation, and the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames are produced at the updated trimming position recorded after the update. When a shutter button is operated, still-image photographing is started and obtained image data is stored in a buffer memory. On the basis of the obtained image data, image data is generated for each of the first and second continuous-zoom-photographing frames through trimming processing and stored in the buffer memory. The obtained image data and the generated image data are stored in a flash memory.

Abstract: A signal receiving apparatus and method which is high in deduction accuracy of transfer characteristic and less in error rate during signal decoding. For each detection signal of a pilot carrier allotted in an OFDM symbol space, a transfer function thereof is calculated. The transfer function is subjected to two-dimensional Fourier transform as to impulse delay time and symbol frequency thereby generating a two-dimensional data space. A predetermined domain of the two-dimensional data space is extracted by a filter extracting domain. The data included in the extracted domain is subjected to two-dimensional inverse Fourier transform as to carrier frequency and symbol time, thereby generating a deduced transfer function.

Abstract: A template storage section previously stores a template having a plurality of display areas. A template readout section reads out the template from the template storage section for display. An imaging section images a subject and outputs corresponding image data.

Abstract: To perform a cluster operation of a plurality of multi-function devices, if the number of devices in a stand-by state is smaller than a required number of devices, a device in a sleep state is restored to the stand-by state. In this case, a device that returns to the stand-by state earliest is selected and restored to the stand-by state.

Abstract: An example automatic gain control (AGC) system in which an adder adds a radio frequency (RF) signal power of only the low-frequency component of an RF signal and an intermediate-frequency (IF) signal of an output from a variable-gain intermediate-frequency amplifier, which is higher than the frequency of the low-frequency component, and outputs the result to an A/D converter. This construction makes it possible to input power data for the RF stage to a demodulation LSI. The demodulation LSI separates the low-frequency component from the input signal, and by detecting the power of the extracted signal, is able to obtain the output data for the RF signal, and it separates the IF component from the input signal, and by detecting the power of the extracted signal, is able to obtain the output data for the IF signal.
