Abstract:
An electronic device requires an electronic component to be mounted for the purpose of static shielding. The mounting of such an electronic component raises a problem of avoiding thermal stresses and cracks generated due to the difference between the coefficients of linear expansion of component materials. A positioning recess, a joining-substance thickness ensuring recess, a joining-substance thickness ensuring projection, etc. are formed in a combined manner in an electronic component mount portion of each of leads, whereby spreading of cracks generated in the joining substance can be suppressed and reliability can be improved. Filling a sealing material so as to seal and restrain the electronic component mounted in the electronic component mount portion without leaving voids contributes to further suppressing spreading of cracks generated in the joining substance and ensuring more improved reliability of the joining substance.

The apparatus includes: orthogonal transforming means for orthogonally transforming an input video signal for each element block, quantizing means for quantizing each obtained transformation coefficient using a quantization parameter; coding means for coding the quantization parameter; decoded picture generating means for generating a reference picture signal for a motion compensation prediction from the quantized results of the quantizing means; filtering means for filtering the obtained reference picture signal at a strength corresponding to the quantization parameter when a non-zero effective transformation coefficient is present with respect to the element block; and controlling means for controlling at least anyone of transformation coefficients to be not zero, when all of the transformation coefficients are zero. This allows, even when all of the quantized results of the transformation coefficients of the element blocks are zero, coding of quantization parameter of current element block and control of filtering strength.

Abstract:
Dynamic quantitative displacement is converted stably and straight into voltage (D.C. output) by using a high speed detection driving frequency without restricting a response of an operational amplifier. When a dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance changes according to a dynamic quantity, electric charges stored in this element and in a reference electrostatic capacitance become unbalanced to produce a difference value, and an output of an operational amplifier changes according to the difference in electric charge quantity. However, the output becomes finally stable when the electric charges in the dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance and in the reference electrostatic capacitance become equal. The output is proportional to a reciprocal of the dynamic quantity detection electrostatic capacitance and it is a D.C. voltage. Further, output without depending on integration feedback capacitance (feedback condenser) CF can be obtained.

Abstract:
A differential pressure transmitter is an improvement over the drawbacks of conventional apparatuses and provides a differential pressure transmitter which compensates for adverse effects of a static pressure by using a static pressure detecting piezoresistive gauge. The transmitter includes a highly sensitive static pressure sensor with high outputs, and a composite sensor with small crosstalk between the static pressure sensor and a differential pressure sensor. The differential pressure transmitter is constructed of semiconductor sensor substrate and a fixed mount on which the sensor substrate is securely mounted; whereby the differential pressure of a fluid is detected by utilizing the difference in Young's modulus between the sensor substrate and the mount. The sensor substrate is processed on one side or on both sides to make a part of the sensor substrate thinner than the surrounding parts and thereby cause a peak stress due to a static pressure load to occur at the thin part, and a change in resistance of a semiconductor piezoresistive gauge formed at that thin portion is detected.
