Abstract: A zinc oxide semiconductor has a zinc oxide-based laminated structure including two layers of a zinc oxide layer with a lattice volume of Va and a donor concentration of Na, and a zinc oxide or zinc oxide solid solution layer with a lattice volume of Vb and a donor concentration of Nb. The relationships of Va<Vb and Na>Nb are satisfied. The layer with the lattice volume Va serves as a charge-supplying layer and the layer with the lattice volume Vb serves as a charge-receiving layer in the laminated structure. The charge is transferred from the layer serving as the charge-supplying layer to the layer serving as the charge-receiving layer even when no external electric field is applied to the laminated structure. A charge depletion layer is formed in the charge-supplying layer due to charge transfer from the charge-supplying layer to the charge-receiving layer.

Abstract: A printer incorporated type electronic camera composed of an imaging unit including an imaging lens and a CCD, a printer unit, a cassette information detecting/recording unit, a tape cassette in which a recording tape having an adhesive agent applied to the back surface thereof is wound and accommodated and which can be detachably loaded and a controller for controlling respective elements. A subject image captured by the imaging unit is printed on recording tape in the tape cassette by the printer unit. Processing for fitting an image captured from an external source to the print image, and the like can be carried out. The tape cassette for print can be easily loaded to the printer incorporated type electronic camera and further the camera is less expensive. Since the radius of curvature of the recording tape when it is fed out is smaller that when it is accommodated, the recording tape can be easily exfoliated.

Abstract: A barcode symbol inclination detection unit detects the inclination angle of a barcode symbol on the basis of image information fetched by an image data fetching unit using, e.g., a linear sensor. A memory read/write control unit directly stores the image information fetched by the image data fetching unit in a memory unit, obliquely reads out the stored information along the detected inclination angle, and supplies readout data to a decoder unit. Alternatively, the memory read/write control unit obliquely writes the image information in the memory unit along the detected inclination angle to obtain information equivalent to that free from the inclination of the barcode symbol, simply reads out the stored information in the alignment direction of bars and spaces of the barcode symbol, and supplies readout data to the decoder unit.

Abstract: A recording and reproducing apparatus of an optical recording medium has a plurality of light sources. A plurality of light beams are radiated by a laser diode array to a track of the optical recording medium, and each of the plurality of light beams reflected by the track is detected by a photodiode and converted into an electrical signal. The laser diode array is arranged such that the beam spots of adjacent ones of the plurality of light beams cross a track direction of the optical recording medium and a track width direction perpendicular to the track direction. The signal detected by the photodiode is converted into an electrical signal and recorded in a frame memory as data corresponding to the signal. The digital data stored in the frame memory is read out by a two-dimensional decoder.

Abstract: The intensity of light reflected from a bar code constructed by bars and spaces is time-sequentially detected by use of a line sensor, sample-and-hold circuit and binary-coding circuit. Data representing the time-series of bars and spaces is counted by a white/black variation point detector and bar/space width counter and converted into width information. In this case, the bar/space width counter starts the counting operation in response to a count enable signal output after a skip-reading counter has counted a count amount previously set by a skip-reading amount setting section. Thus, when width information is stored into a memory, data obtained after data of the preset width among the width information is stored into the memory.

The countersinking section comprises three unit machining sections disposed with equal angular intervals in the circumferential direction of the cutter body. Each unit machining section comprises an abrasive layer formed by electrodepositing diamond abrasive grains on a conical surface in turn provided on the cutter body with a chip discharge groove and a finishing edge overhanging from the abrasive layer by an amount t and disposed in order successively rearward in the direction of rotation of a drill or cutter. The finishing edge is formed on a hard sinter, which contains diamond grains as a main ingredient, on a laminar sinter.
