Abstract: Light that has entered a lens 2 held by a barrel portion 6 of a
three-dimensional circuit board 1 transmitting virtually no visible light
enters a semiconductor imaging device 4 held inside the three-dimensional
circuit board 1. On the side opposite to the barrel portion 6, the
three-dimensional circuit board 1 is provided with a flexible printed circuit
8 for sending a signal to and receiving a signal from the semiconductor
imaging device 4. The region of the flexible printed circuit 8 facing the
semiconductor imaging device 4 has sufficient shielding characteristics in a
range sensitive to light reception by the semiconductor imaging device 4.
This makes it possible to provide a sufficient shield against a light beam
entering from the back surface of the semiconductor imaging device 4, so
that the image quality does not deteriorate even when a conventional
shielding sheet is not used. Since the shielding sheet becomes unnecessary,
it is possible to reduce the cost of the shielding sheet itself and the number
of steps of bonding the shielding sheet. Furthermore, the thickness
corresponding to the shielding sheet and the adhesive can be reduced.

Abstract: According to this invention, an amorphous or
pseudo-boehmite-type hydrated alumina gel and an alkali
metal carbonate or bicarbonate as starting materials are
reacted in an aqueous medium to give a method of
producing a process for producing an alkali aluminum
complex hydroxide carbonate salt which is industrially
low-cost and has high productivity. Furthermore, by
using a gibbsite-type hydrated alumina, a lithium
aluminum complex hydroxide carbonate salt can be
synthesized by a migration method. 
     The lithium aluminum complex hydroxide carbonate
salt and the sodium aluminum complex hydroxide carbonate
salt obtained by the processes of the present invention
have excellent compoundability in pigments and resins. 
     In addition, these complex salts have no foaming
hazards at the time of processing the resins and are
useful as resin fillers for halogen capturing property,
infrared ray absorbing property and excellent
transparency. They are especially useful as a
stabilizer (halogen capturing agent) for resin films, a
warmth-keeping agent (infrared absorbing agent) and an
anti-blocking agent.

Abstract: A discharge lamo (1) with electrodes (3,4) is disclosed where the
discharge vessel (2) contains a radiating component consisting of
non-metals and/or semi-metals selected from among the elements arsenic,
phosphorus, sulphur, selenium and tellurium or a combination these. 
     These element however very easily create compounds with the electrode
material, which are deposited as reaction products on the internal
surface of the discharge vessel (2), resulting in a serioulsly depleted
UV radiation and overheating of the lamp (1). This problem is solved by
filling the discharge vessel (2) further with one or more halogens,
preferably chlorine, bromine or iodine or a mixture thereof, whereby the
formation of compounds of the elements and the electrode metal and also
blackening on the internal surface of the discharge vessel (2) are
avoided, and any possibly created compounds are broken down so that the
element or element remain liberated in non-molecular form, thus being
available for the production of UV radiation in the spectral region
below 300 nm.

Abstract: During recording inputted data are sequentially written
into a memory (14) at one transfer rate and are read out at a
second, higher transfer rate for recording on a record medium
(2). The reading of the memory. (14) is such that data in a
preset first amount are successively read from the memory (14)
to always ensure a write space in the memory (14) which has a
capacity which is higher than a predetermined second amount when
the amount of the inputted data stored in the memory (14)
exceeds the first amount. During playback, the recorded data
are reproduced at a second transfer rate, which is higher than a
first transfer rate required for outputting the reproduced data,
and are written in a memory (22). The thus written data are
successively read out of the memory (22) as reproduced output
data at the first transfer rate. The writing of the reproduced
data to the memory (22) is controlled so that a second amount of
the reproduced data is written into the memory (22) and an
amount of reproduced data, not less than a first amount, is
always stored in the memory (22) when the amount of the
reproduced data stored in the memory (22) becomes not higher
than the first given amount.

data system recorded along with the video data. The thumbnail images of the data
system that can be used for displaying images are displayed as index, while the thumbnail
images of any data systems other than the above data system are replaced by respective
invalid images to tell that they cannot be displayed. Thus, an index can be displayed
with a simple arrangement if data of different data systems are recorded.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for a method for reducing the amount of acrylamide in thermally processed foods. This invention permits the production of foods having significantly reduced levels of acrylamide. The method relies on the manipulation of various unit operations used in the production of food products, particularly the washing and cooking, unit operations. For example, the washing unit operation can be modified to provide a contacting step at an increased time and temperature, and adding components as calcium chloride and L-cysteine to an aqueous solution used for the contacting. The cooking unit operation can be modified by dividing it into at least a higher-temperature first heating step and a lower-temperature second heating step in order to avoid the high-temperature / low­moisture conditions most favorable for acrylamide formation.
