Abstract: In an RGBW-type liquid crystal display device, luminance is improved by the addition of W sub-pixels while an image is displayed without any change in chromaticity of halftones. Digital corrected values for red, green and blue are obtained by adding a predetermined digital value for driving a W sub-pixel to each of RGB digital values which correspond respectively to pixels of an acquired image. A converting calculation is effected on the digital corrected values such that the ratio of these digital corrected values for red, green and blue is made equal to the ratio of the red, green and blue digital values corresponding to the pixels of said acquired image. The RGBW sub-pixels are driven with the converted values and the predetermined digital value for driving W sub-pixel to thereby display an image.

Abstract: Being capable of avoiding a problem due to unmatching of
versions among devices upon data transmission through a network
such as IEEE1394 type. In case where data obtained in an
output device connected to a predetermined network is
transmitted from the output device to the network and received
by an input device connected to the network, the output device
or a controller for controlling transmission on the network
sends a first instruction for inquiring about the version of a
function set in the input device and recognizes the version set
in the input device through return transmission corresponding to
the first instruction. If the version of the confirmed input
device is lower than the version set in the output device or
controller, a second instruction for changing the version to be
set in the input device is transmitted so as to change the
version and then, transmission of data from the output device is
started.

Abstract: A security system for electronic circuits (for example electronic circuits contained within
a secure POS terminal (200)) is provided that is both more tamper resistant, and tamper
responsive and less expensive than the prior art epoxy potting. This is achieved by
inserting an electrical connector (310) between a first (260A) and a second (260B) circuit
board contained within a case of the POS terminal (200). The first (260A) and the
second (260B) circuit boards are any type of circuit board known in the art. If the case
is opened the connector no longer provides an electrical connection between the first
(260A) and the second (260B) circuit boards, triggering a tamper detection circuit (460).
In some embodiments, a flexible conductive film (340) is wrapped around the circuit
boards and the connector (310). If a tamperer attempts to penetrate the case of the POS
terminal (200) to disable the tamper detection circuit, the circuit on the flexible security
film (340) is interrupted, in turn triggering the tamper detection circuit (460). By
eliminating the potting process the cost and complexity of manufacture are reduced. In
addition, the circuitry within the terminal (200) can be accessed for repair and
maintenance purposes.

selected from the group of crystalline and non-crystalline oxides and hydroxides
of aluminium, e.g. gibbsite, having a particle size of 1 to 100 µm and a specific
surface of 75 to 250 m 2 /g. With the use of the catalyst in the tobacco, the
amount of noxious compounds in the mainstream and sidestream smoke can
be considerably reduced in the combustion process of the smokers' article
during its consumption. 
     The said tobacco product is useful for smoker's articles comprising a
filter, a tobacco rod and a wrapper. In such articles the tobacco rod consists of
the tobacco product. 
     The process for preparing the tobacco product carrying catalytically
active materials on its surface consists in treating tobacco with any of the
above-mentioned catalytically active materials, without the use of binding
agents, by the steps of distributing the catalytically active material on tobacco
particles and pressing the catalytically active material on the tobacco particles,
preferably with a defined degree of moisture. The treated tobacco product is
useful for manufacturing smokers' articles, particularly cigarettes, having a
reduced amount of toxic components in the smoke. 
     For carrying out the process, a device (1) comprising the following
means is proposed:
   a) at least one conveyor belt (11, 12) for carrying the tobacco T   b) a device (7) for supplying and distributing tobacco on the conveyor belt   c) at least one device (9; 10) for supplying and distributing catalytically active
material (C1, C2) on the tobacco on the conveyor belt   d) at least one driving means for driving simultaneously the conveyor belt(s)
