There is provided a semiconductor optical modulator capable of performing a stable operation and having an excellent voltage-current characteristic to an electric field while exhibiting the characteristic of a semiconductor optical modulator with an n-i-n structure. The semiconductor optical modulator includes a waveguide structure that is formed by sequentially growing an n-type InP clad layer (11), a semiconductor core layer (13) having an electro-optic effect, a p-InAlAs layer (15), and an n-type InP clad layer (16). An electron affinity of the p-InAlAs layer (15) is smaller than an electron affinity of the n-type InP clad layer (16). In the waveguide structure having such a configuration, a non-dope InP clad layer (12) and a non-dope InP clad layer (14) may be respectively provided between the n-type InP clad layer (11) and the semiconductor core layer (13), and between the semiconductor core layer (13) and the p-InAlAs layer (15).

An apparatus has a microphone, an analog to digital converting circuit, a semiconductor memory, an input device, and a controller. The analog to digital converting circuit converts an output signal from the microphone into a digital signal. The semiconductor memory stores the digital signal. The input device at least carries out input of a record start instruction and a record end instruction. The controller, according to the instruction input from the input device, controls the start and stop of writing the digital signal into the semiconductor memory. When the input device is operated and a predetermined time interval has passed, the controller controls to start writing the digital signal from the analog/digital converting circuit into the semiconductor memory.

An audio-feature analyzer automatically detects points of change in audio signals to be processed. A central processing unit (CPU) obtains point-of-change information indicating positions of the points of change in the audio signals, and the point-of-change information is recorded on a data storage device. The CPU identifies point-of-change information in accordance with an instruction input by a user via a key operation unit, and audio data corresponding to the point-of-change information identified is located so that processing such as playback of audio data to be processed can be started therefrom.
摘要:
A reproducing apparatus and method, the method comprising the steps of comprising recording a plurality of files and number-of-reproduction-times limitation information thereof, selecting a desired file from the plurality of files stored in the memory, and comparing whether the number-of-reproduction-times limitation information allows for reproduction of the selected file. The method further comprises the steps of counting the reproduced elapsed duration of the selected file and comparing whether the reproduced elapsed duration exceeds a predetermined value. The number-of-reproduction-times limitation information stored in the memory is edited when the reproduced elapsed duration exceeds the predetermined value to reduce the number of times the selected file may be subsequently be reproduced.
摘要:
Over the principal surface of a semiconductor substrate body containing an impurity of a predetermined conduction type, there is formed an epitaxial layer which contains an impurity of the same conduction type as that of the former impurity and the same concentration as the designed one of the former impurity. After this, there are formed a well region which has the same conduction type as that of said impurity and its impurity concentration gradually lowered depthwise of said epitaxial layer. The well region is formed with the gate insulating films of MIS·FETs.
