Abstract: In order that a digital video (DV) camera function as a
WWW server in a network, an image capturing section (11) captures
an image of a subject. A DV encoder (12) encodes an image signal
input from the image capturing section (11). A recording and
playback section (14) plays back DV data recorded in a DV
cassette tape (15). An IP packet assembling/disassembling
section (19) assembles a DV signal input from the DV encoder (12), a
DV signal input from the recording and playback section (14), or
an HTML file input from a WWW server processing section (21) into
IP packets, and outputs them to an IEEE 1394 interface (20). The
IEEE 1394 interface (20) transmits, via the network (2), the IP
packets input from the IP packet assembling/disassembling
section (19) to a personal computer which accessed the DV camera.

Abstract: In an operating system, a resource handler accepts resource requests from
application modules. A resource request identifies a module from which the
requested resource is to be obtained. Rather than providing the resource from the
identified module, however, the resource handler provides the requested resource
from an associated resource module. An association between an executable
module and resource modules of different languages is created by a defined file
naming convention, optionally using different directories for resource modules of
different languages. Some executable modules contain a shared resource
reference which can be used to create an association between multiple executable
modules and a single set of shared resource modules. A language fallback
mechanism allows alternative languages to be used where resource modules of the
appropriate language are not available.

Abstract: A virtual reality system provides a display of a
virtual pet such as a dolphin superimposed on an image of
a real scene. The pet is made responsive to user
movement. 
     When S = 0, and a user waves his or her hand five
times or more from side to side (S1502), the head of a
dolphin appears from the water, and the number L1 of
times of status changes is increased by 1 (S1504).
When the user waves his or her hand twice or more up
and down (S1503), the dolphin jumps from the water, and
the number L1 is increased by 1 (S1505). When S = 1,
and a user waves his or her hand three times or more
from side to side, the dolphin disappears into the
water, and the number L1 is increased by 1 (S1507).
When S = 2, and the dolphin jumps into the water, then
S = 0 (S1509). If S = 3, and the dolphin disappears
into the water, then S = 0 (S1511). Then, it is
determined whether or not L1 ≥ 3 (S1512). If yes, the
process is passed to the communications level 2 (S1513).

The silicon optoelectronic device may further includes a control layer formed on one surface of the substrate to act as a mask in forming the doped region and to limit the depth of the doped region to be ultra-shallow. The silicon optoelectronic device has excellent efficiency and can be used as either a light-emitting device or a light-receiving device. Since the optoelectronic device uses silicon as a base material, it can be manufactured at low cost.

Abstract: In inkjet printers, it becomes possible to precisely
estimate a remaining ink level in detailed scales with a

Specifically, a relatively inexpensive sensor that can
examine whether the remaining ink level is below a

consumption in printing and other operations. When the
sensor has detected an ink level beyond the predetermined
value or the presence of ink (S301), and the counter (C2)
exceeds the threshold value (T2) corresponding to the
ink-out level (N) (S308), the remaining ink level is
increased to correct the counter error (S310).

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array (ARRAY), a read control circuit (CNTROL1), a row decoder (ROWDEC), a column decoder (COLDEC), a sense amplifier (S/A), and a sense amplifier control circuit (SENGEN). The read control circuit (CNTROL1) produces a precharge signal (PRCV) to precharge a bit line (BL) of the memory cell array (ARRAY). The sense amplifier (S/A) amplifies data read onto the bit line (BL). In reading data from a memory cell (MC), the sense amplifier control circuit (SENGEN) enables the sense amplifier (S/A) and inhibits entry of read data from a memory cell (MC) into the sense amplifier (S/A) only for a fixed interval after a fixed time after the precharging signal (PRCV) has been negated. The sense amplifier control circuit allows entry of read data into the sense amplifier (S/A) while the sense amplifier (S/A) is being disabled.

Abstract: An easy to use on-line guide provides the user of a multiple channel
television broadcast system with a wealth of programming information in a
simple format that is easy to understand. The guide enables the user to easily
select a particular program to watch. In particular, when the guide is presented
to the user, the guide covers only a portion of the actual television screen or
display. The remaining portion of the television screen continues to broadcast
the audio and video of the currently selected program. As a user scans through
the guide and moves the pointer from one station to another, the system
responds by automatically tuning to the channel pointed to by the pointer and
provides the audio and displays the video in the portion of the screen not
covered by the guide. Furthermore, a written description of the program
currently broadcasted on a station that the cursor currently points to is also
shown. In addition, the system provides an innovative mechanism to enable the
user to scan program information of channels that the user has designated as his
favorite channels. In another embodiment, a program list that is oriented
