Abstract:
An FM broadcasting station (5) broadcasts information type identification (ID) indicating the type of on-the-air program information in subframe periods which are previously assigned to FM radio receivers (1b-1d). Each FM radio receiver (1b-1d) receives the information type ID broadcast from the FM broadcasting station (5) by performing intermittent reception in the subframe periods assigned to the FM radio receiver (1b-1d). When the received information type ID matches with a desired information type ID registered in an input data memory of that FM radio receiver (1b-1d) by a user, the FM radio receiver (1b-1d) releases intermittent reception and executes a process, such as reception and storage of program information according to the matched information type ID, reception and display of the program information, or an informing process.
Abstract:
An optical guide inserted between a liquid crystal display panel and a diffusion plate is formed by using a large number of optical fibers each obtained by coating a core with a cladding layer, and its exit surface is inclined with respect to an incident surface by a predetermined angle theta 1. Accordingly, in assembly, it suffices to incorporate this optical guide, thus facilitating the assembling operation. In this case, image light emerging from the exit surface of the optical guide obliquely upward to the left is refracted by a refractor in a direction perpendicular to the exit surface of the refractor.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has four color image forming and transferring portions (42-1, 42-2, 42-3, 42-4) and four image writing heads (43-1, 43-2, 43-3, 43-4) supported by a cover (49) to be rotatably movable upwardly and downwardly. Each case (79) of the portions is so shaped that it does not interfere with the rotational movement of the heads, and has the same shape. Particularly, two opposite side surfaces (79a, 79b) of the case is so shaped that it does not project into the movement locuses (45-1, 45-2, 45-3, 45-4) of the heads not to collide them.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a secret data storage device capable of setting password data which is easy for a specific user to memorize but is difficult for others to understand. A registration password data item composed of an arbitrary hieroglyphic data item or a combination of an arbitrary hieroglyphic data item and the color specifying data corresponding to the hieroglyphic is entered by selectively operating the hieroglyphic key (12b) and color key (12d) in the key input section (12). Similarly, using the color specifying data item and the like, a collation password data item is inputted. Then, it is determined whether or not the registration password data item coincides with the collation password data item entered this time. When it has been determined that they coincide with each other, the secret data stored in the secret data memory (17d) is accessed and the accessed data appears on the display section (19).
Abstract:
There is provided a method and apparatus for processing a table, in which image data is stored as cell data of table data, so that an operation and procedure for processing the image data as cell data (e.g., an image process of the image data or an output of the image data to a designated cell) can be simple. In a table data output process, it is discriminated whether the type of a designated cell is numerical, character, image or sound, the corresponding data is read from a table data file, an image file or a sound file in accordance with the discriminated cell type, and the read data is output to an output region of the designated cell.
Abstract:
An yttrium film (34) is formed on a base plate (33) made of an Ni-Cr alloy (INCONEL 601), by vapor deposition (achieved by resistance heating or application of an electron beam) or sputtering, to a thickness ranging from 1000 ANGSTROM to about 3000 ANGSTROM . The resultant structure consisting of the base plate (33) and the yttrium film (34) is placed on a table (32) provided in a reaction furnace (31) which has a gas inlet port (38) and a gas outlet port (39). Hydrogen is introduced into the furnace (31) through the gas inlet port (38), thus filling the furnace (31) with hydrogen. The concentration of oxygen and/or oxygen-containing substance should be 1 % or less by volume. The oxygen-containing substance is water, which exists in the form of vapor. The hydrogen atmosphere is heated from normal temperature to about 600 DEG C, thus heating the structure at about 600 DEG C for 10 to 60 minutes, thereby forming an yttrium oxide film (36), which covers a body (35) of the yttrium film. Thereafter, the yttrium oxide film (36) is dehydrogenated, it is heated at 350 DEG C or more for 15 minutes in an atmosphere having a pressure reduced to 1 x 10 Torr or less, thereby removing the hydrogen from the yttrium oxide film (36). As a result, there is manufactured an electron-emitting electrode which has good electron-emitting property.
Abstract:
Enciphered part of a program loaded on a storage device (15) is fetched to a one-chip microcomputer (10) and decoded by a decoding program stored in a ROM (12) which is inhibited from access from external buses. The decoded part is written in a cache memory (13), and cache inhibiting flag in a control register (14) corresponding to the storing area of the memory (13) for the decoded program is set to inhibit access from external buses. The decoded part is executed by a CPU (21) in combination with the non-enciphered part of the program stored in the program storing device (25). Therefore, the unauthorized copying of the enciphered program can be prevented.
