Abstract:
Disclosed is a power generating module which generates electric power by using fuel, including: an accommodating section to accommodate a fuel container to store fuel; a power generating section to perform power generation by using the fuel in the fuel container; and a controlling section to allow, after an amount of the fuel in the fuel container accommodated in the accommodating section becomes less than a predetermined amount necessary for the power generation in the power generating section, at least a portion of a by-product generated in a process of the power generation in the power generating section to be collected into the fuel container containing less than the predetermined amount of the fuel.
Abstract:
A solid state image pickup apparatus that can read a signal charge correctly is provided. A peripheral area of a photoelectric conversion area 400 where photoelectric conversion pixels are formed has common output line forming areas 401a and 401b where common output lines for transmitting electric signals from the above described photoelectric conversion area. A plurality of inner lenses are formed in a constant pitch in an inner lens forming area 402 including a photoelectric conversion area 400 and the above described peripheral area. A plurality of inner lenses located in the outer peripheral part of the inner lens forming area 402 are arranged not to overlap with the common output lines.
Abstract:
An acoustic wave device includes a piezoelectric substrate, a first dielectric film provided on the piezoelectric substrate, electrodes that are provided on the first dielectric film and excite an acoustic wave, and a second dielectric film that is provided so as to cover the electrodes and is thicker than the electrodes.
Abstract:
A SAW filter includes a first SAW resonator having a pair of terminals and a predetermined resonance frequency (frp), the first SAW resonator being provided in a parallel arm of the SAW filter. A second SAW resonator has a pair of terminals and a predetermined resonance frequency (frs) approximately equal to a predetermined antiresonance frequency of the first SAW resonator (fap). The second SAW resonator is provided in a series arm of the SAW filter. An inductance element is connected in series to the first SAW resonator.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a disilanol compound by hydrolyzing a dichlorosilane compound having Si—Cl bonds at both ends, characterized in that the method comprises the step of hydrolyzing the dichlorosilane compound in the presence of a tertiary amine compound.
Abstract:
An elastic boundary wave device includes a first medium with piezoelectricity, an electrode exciting an elastic wave and provided on the first medium, a second medium made of a different material from the first medium and provided on the first medium to cover the electrode, and a sound absorbing portion provided on the second medium.
Abstract:
An optical disk apparatus and control method having a rotation driver configured to rotationally drive an optical disk, a laser diode configured to emit a laser light to be irradiated upon a recording surface of the optical disk, for recording or reproducing information onto the optical disk, and a monitor device configured to monitor the laser light emitted from the laser diode. An intensity of the laser light emitted from the laser diode which is detected by the monitor device is memorized by a memory, a detector detects an abnormal condition of the laser diode, by comparing a present laser light intensity with a previous laser light intensity, and a controller controls a rotating velocity of the optical disk in dependence upon detection of the abnormal condition.
Abstract:
At a reserved recording time, if a television receiver is turned off, then the television receiver is turned on, and a video of a reservation setting target channel is forcibly displayed. A content of a reserved program can be thereby checked. At this time, a mute control signal is output to a voice processing circuit to mute a voice. If a user does not transmit a volume change instruction for a predetermined time, then a TV circuit is turned off, and a reservation recording is continued. This can suppress unnecessary power consumption during user's absence.
Abstract:
An image forming apparatus comprising: a document reading section that can read an image of a document; a document-type determining section that can extract, when the image includes a finishing mark or a characteristic form, the finishing mark or the characteristic form as a characteristic portion from the readout document image, and can determine, based on the extracted characteristic portion, a type of the finishing or a type of the document; a processing deciding section that decides, based on the determined type of the finishing or the determined type of the document, a type of finishing to be performed to a medium to be output or a type of image processing to be performed to an image to be output; and a processor that performs finishing of the type decided by the processing deciding section to the medium to be output or image processing of the type decided by the processing deciding section to the image to be output.
