A method of manufacturing a solar cell, which includes an edge deletion step using a laser beam, and a manufacturing apparatus which is used in such a method, the method and the apparatus being capable of preventing a shunt and cracks from being generated are provided. By radiating a first laser beam to a multilayer body, which includes a transparent electrode layer, a photoelectric conversion layer, and a back electrode layer sequentially formed on a transparent substrate, from a side of the transparent substrate, the photoelectric conversion layer and the back electrode layer in a first region are removed, and by radiating a second laser beam into the region such that the second laser beam is spaced from a peripheral rim of the region, the transparent electrode layer in a second region is removed.

An apparatus includes a control unit which switches between a first display mode and a second display mode based on whether a zoom state is equal to or greater than a predetermined zoom magnification. The imaging apparatus, in a zoom state where a part of an imaging area is clipped and recorded, switches between the first display mode, which displays on a display unit a clipped recording area, and the second display mode, which displays on the display unit an area which is wider than the clipped recording area.

A motion detecting device includes: a first detecting unit that detects a state of a writing hand of a writer based on first data output depending on the state of the writing hand from a first sensor; a second detecting unit that detects a distance between the writer and a recording medium based on second information output from a second sensor; a determining unit that determines that the writer is writing on the recording medium when the state of the writing hand detected by the first detecting unit is a predetermined state and the distance detected by the second detecting unit is smaller than or equal to a predetermined threshold value; and an output data generating unit that generates output data based on a state of the writer determined by the determining unit.

A word control circuit activates word lines corresponding to a start row address and a next row address overlappingly in the continuous mode. Accordingly, even in the case where the start address indicates an end memory cell connected to a word line, the switching operation of the word line becomes unnecessary. Memory cells connected to different word lines can be thus accessed in a sequential manner. That is, a controller accessing a semiconductor memory device can access the memory without data interruption. This can prevent the data transfer rate from lowering. Furthermore, it is made unnecessary to form a signal and a control circuit for informing a controller of the fact that a word line is being switched so that the construction of a semiconductor memory device and a control circuit of the controller can be simplified. This results in reduction of the system cost.

The recognition apparatus shoots pictures of at least a portion of a subject including a human face and obtains a sequence of image data. The facial portion is recognized from the image data. Each image data in the sequence of image data is processed successively. From the image data, an image region including the facial portion is identified. Either a color of the subject within a region defined based on the identified image region or the result of detection of moving regions is used for processing for identifying the image region including the facial portion.
摘要:
A light emitting device wafer is fabricated, having a light emitting layer section, composed of AlGaInP, based on a double heterostructure and a GaP light extraction layer disposed on the light emitting layer portion, having a first main surface thereof appearing on the first main surface of the wafer, so as that a P-rich off-angled {100} surface, having a higher existence rate of P atoms than an exact {100} surface, appears on the first main surface the GaP light extraction layer. The main first surface of the GaP light extraction layer is etched with an etching solution FEA so as to form surface roughening projections. Therefore, it provides a method of fabricating a light emitting device capable of applying surface roughening easily to the GaP light extraction surface having the {100} surface, off-angled to be P-rich, as a main surface thereof.

A data transfer method and system are provided that prevent the length of a time required for writing to a flash memory from appearing on the surface as a system operation when the flash memory is used in place of an SRAM. The method of transferring data includes the steps of writing data from a controller to a volatile memory, placing the volatile memory in a transfer state, transferring the data from the volatile memory in the transfer state to a nonvolatile memory, and releasing the volatile memory from the transfer state in response to confirming completion of the transfer of the data.

Operation control circuits start a first operation of any of memory cores in response to a first operation command, start a second operation of any of the memory cores in response to a second operation command, and terminate the first operation and continue the second operation in response to a termination command to terminate operations of the plurality of memory cores. For example, the semiconductor memory is mounted on a system together with a controller accessing the semiconductor memory. The termination of the operation in response to the termination command is judged in accordance with an operation state of the memory core. Accordingly, it is possible to terminate the operation of the memory core requiring the termination of operation without specifying the memory core from outside.
