Abstract:
A signal processor includes a point setting part that sets a position of a main image signal, as a registration point. A playback control part causes output of an image frame from the registration point used as a starting point in response to a given playback instruction. A capture processing part generates a registration image based on the main image signal and stores the registration image, the at least one image frame being placed in a neighborhood of the registration point. A point recording part writes the registration point into a memory and writes the registration image corresponding to the recorded point into the memory. A point calling part reads out the recorded image and the recorded point in response to a given calling instruction. The point setting part sets the recorded point and the recorded image as the registration point and the registration image, respectively.
Abstract:
A nitride semiconductor light emitting element is provided with: a substrate 11 having a pair of main surfaces that face each other; a nitride semiconductor layer of a first conductivity type layered on one of the main surfaces of substrate 11; a nitride semiconductor layer of a second conductivity type layered on the nitride semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type; an active layer 14 formed between the nitride semiconductor layer of the first conductivity type and the nitride semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type; and a reflective layer 16 formed on the nitride semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type for reflecting light from active layer 14 toward the nitride semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type. This nitride semiconductor light emitting element can be mounted on a circuit board, with the other main surface of the above described substrate 11 being used as the main light emitting surface. Furthermore, a translucent conductive layer 17 is formed between reflective layer 16 and the nitride semiconductor layer of the second conductivity type, and an uneven interface 22 is formed as the interface between translucent conductive layer 17 and reflective layer 16.

Abstract:
A method for reproducing information, comprising the steps of: reading compressed audio data from an information recording medium in which the compressed audio data is recorded in a frame unit; and subjecting the compressed audio data thus read to an expansion processing to reproduce same. When an instruction is given to make a special reproduction in which a frame region to be reproduced and an other frame region not to be reproduced are mixed, control is made so that the compressed audio data in respective frames are successively reproduced in the frame region to be reproduced, and a header information for the respective frames is read out in the other frame region not to be reproduced, and determination on a leading position of a subsequent frame is made on a basis of the header information, thereby conducting a successive migration for the respective frames.

Abstract:
A method of recording compressed and coded data is designed to improve the speed and ease of random accessing, and to reduce the buffer capacity and facilitate control and editing in the reproducing system. The method comprises the steps of compressing and coding video signals for every predetermined number of frames with the amount of codes per predetermined number of frames being constant; storing the predetermined number of frames of compressed and coded video signals into at least one video packet; storing the video packet in a pack having a time slot corresponding to the predetermined number of frames (preferably at the end of the pack); and recording the video signals on the recording medium in a pack stream containing such packs, with the relation between the size of the pack and the size of the logical block of the recording medium being set to 1:n (n: an integer) and the relation between the size of the pack and the size of the physical block of the recording medium being set to 2:m (m: an integer).
Abstract:
A fiber-reinforced ceramic composite material reinforced by particle dispersion with improved fracture toughness comprised of a mullite matrix, and fibers and same or different kind of ceramic fine particles both dispersed within the mullite matrix is produced by a method comprising: dispersing mullite particles forming a matrix in a solution dissolving an organometallic macromolecular substance to prepare an impregnating solution, continuously passing fibers through said impregnating solution to uniformly impregnate the fibers with said impregnating solution, laminating said fibers to provide a laminated body, converting the organometallic macromolecular substance within said laminated body into a nonmeltable state, and performing sintering (or press sintering) of said laminated body in an inert gas and/or nitrogen gas. By press sintering K.sub.Ic of 10 MN/m.sub.3/2 or more is achieved.
