Tour guide contents stored in a tour guide apparatus carried by a user at a tour destination are provided with points of interest information and map data. This information includes latitude and longitude information for the site of each point of interest, and information on the providers of the information and the categories of information. The latitude and longitude information is provided for each site in relation to map data. By matching these pieces of latitude and longitude information to the map data, points of interest information can be laid out on the map and displayed. This makes it possible to select interesting site information to be displayed on the map based on the information provider, for example, points of interest information provided by provider A for restaurants and another set of information provided by provider B for hotels.

In a network of an IEEE 1394 system or the like, a data transmission rate can be properly controlled by an apparatus to receive the transmitted data. An apparatus for transmitting data is set as a first apparatus and each of one or more apparatus for receiving the transmitted data from the first apparatus is set as an external apparatus. The number of the external apparatuses to which the data are to be transmitted is indicated. A transmission speed is varied upon receipt of a control command from one of the external apparatuses to which a control right is given. The control right is returned when the control command is not given from the external apparatuses to which the data are transmitted for a predetermined period of time. The control right is returned to the first apparatus if there are a plurality of apparatuses to receive the data from the first apparatus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to composite metallic ultrafine particles which have excellent dispersion stability and can be produced on an industrial scale, and a process for producing the same, and a method and an apparatus for forming an interconnection with use of the same. A surface of a core metal produced from a metallic salt, a metallic oxide, or a metallic hydroxide and having a particle diameter of 1 to 100 nm is covered with an organic compound including a functional group having chemisorption capability onto the surface of the core metal.

A plating apparatus comprises a plating unit having a plating bath for holding a plating liquid therein, and a planting monitoring unit having a liquid chromatography device and an arithmetical unit. The liquid chromatography device serves to separate and quantify an additive in a sample of the planting liquid. The arithmetical unit serves to compare a quantified value of the additive with a given concentration predetermined for the additive and to produce an output signal representing the compare result. The plating apparatus further comprises an additive replenishing unit for adding a solution including the additive from an additive tank to the plating liquid in the planting bath based on the output signal from the arithmetical unit in the plating liquid monitoring unit.
摘要:
In manufacturing an optical semiconductor device, light-emitting elements are mounted on their respective printed boards of an insulating plate with a silver paste interposed therebetween. A sealing mold having a shape (a lens forming portion) necessary for forming a projected lens is adhered to the major surface of the insulating plate in accordance with each of the light-emitting elements of each of the printed boards. A liquid epoxy resin having a melt viscosity of 100 Pa.multidot.s to 200 Pa.multidot.s is continuously injected into the sealing mold with the lens forming portion of the sealing mold downward. The liquid epoxy resin is then hardened to form a projected, domed lens on each of the light-emitting elements. After that, the sealing mold is removed, and the insulating plate is separated for each of the light-emitting elements into surface-mounted optical semiconductor devices each having a projected, domed lens. Consequently, a lens having a large diameter can be formed in a short time, thereby increasing in luminance and improving in yield and quality, without increasing in manufacturing costs.

摘要:
Disclosed is a toner for electrostatic image development that has low-temperature fixability and hot offset resistance and also has document offset resistance. The toner contains a hyperbranched polymer which is a homopolymer formed using an inimer having, in its molecule, a polymerizable functional group and a polymerization initiating group or is a copolymer formed using the inimer and a vinyl-based monomer. The hyperbranched polymer is preferably a terminal-modified hyperbranched polymer and is preferably obtained by a living radical polymerization process.
