摘要:
The present invention provides an image capturing apparatus capable of properly zooming in on a main subject without performing complicated framing. A digital camera having an electronic zoom function has an external passive type distance detector for obtaining two-dimensional distance detection information. The two-dimensional distance detection information obtained by the distance detector is used for an auto-focus control of the digital camera. Further, the two-dimensional distance detection information is also used for detection of a main subject in an image capturing area. The digital camera specifies the position of the main subject by using the two-dimensional distance detection information and moves the center of the partial area to be extracted in the case of generating a pseudo zoom image toward the specified position.

An organic semiconductor diode comprises a hole transport layer which is arranged on an anode side and formed of an organic compound having a hole transport capability, and an electron transport layer which is arranged on a cathode side and formed of an organic compound having an electron transport capability. The hole transport layer and the electron transport layer are laminated one upon another. The cathode has a work function close to or smaller than the electron affinity of the electron transport layer, while the anode has a work function larger than that of the cathode. The organic semiconductor diode exhibits nonlinear current-voltage characteristics when a voltage is applied between the hole transport layer and the electron transport layer in contact with each other.

The present invention relates to a plating method and a plating apparatus which can attain embedding of copper into fine interconnection patterns with use of a plating liquid having high throwing power and leveling properties, and which can make film thickness of a plated film substantially equal between an interconnection region and a non-interconnection region. A plating method comprises filling a plating liquid containing metal ions and an additive into a plating space formed between a substrate and an anode disposed closely to the substrate so as to face the substrate, and changing concentration of the additive in the plating liquid filled into the plating space during a plating process.

A disposable pull-on garment includes front and rear waist-encircling regions each having first elasticized zones and a second elasticized zone extending in a waist-encircling direction. Auxiliary elastic members include plural lines of first auxiliary elastic members extending in the waist-encircling direction in the first elasticized zones, and plural lines of second auxiliary elastic members extending in the waist-encircling direction in the second elasticized zones. A tensile stress of the first auxiliary elastic members is greater than that of the second auxiliary elastic members. A tensile stress of the first elasticized zones is greater than that of the second elasticized zone.
摘要:
A device for transmitting and receiving data by optical communications with an external device, provided with a plurality of data transmission\reception units. Sequentially, during data transmission\reception, whether or not a transmission signal has been transmitted from an external device is detected, and it a transmission signal is detected the transmission\reception unit receiving said signal is used for data transmission\reception via optical communications with an external device.

A disc reproducing apparatus comprises a disc holder for receiving a plurality of discs, a disc transporting device for transporting a disc inserted from outside into the disc holder, and a disc reproducing device for reproducing a disc selected from the plurality of discs received in the disc holder. The disc holder includes a plurality of trays each for mounting one disc, guide devices allowing the trays to move only in trays arranging direction, a fixed bottom plate for supporting the plurality of trays, a movable top plate movable in the tray arranging direction by virtue of the guide devices. Further, the movable top plate is urged towards the fixed bottom plate by virtue of an urging device.

A camera has a distance-measuring device, which has an area sensor for sensing the light from an object to convert it into an electrical signal, a posture detector for detecting the posture of the camera, a setter for setting the positions and sizes of a plurality of calculation regions demarcated on the light-sensing surface of the area sensor in accordance with an output from the posture detector, and a calculator for calculating the distance to the object based on an output from the area sensor that corresponds to the calculation regions set by the setter. The setter can be so controlled as to set the sizes of the calculation regions for distance calculation according to the size of the object that is likely to be detected in those calculation regions. This reduces possibility of low contrast and foreground/background interference, and thereby enhances distance measurement accuracy.
摘要:
A container assembly provided with an antibacterial agent against “slow-leak” bacteria, comprising a container such as a plastic bottle which has a mouth portion having a rim; and a seal member such as a crown cap fitted to the mouth portion at the rim, wherein at least either a surface portion of the rim or the rim-contacting surface portion of the seal member includes an antibacterial agent such as silver zeolite in the form of a coating or a liner, thereby effectively blocking the entry of unwanted live bacteria and eumycetes which may enter the interior of the container assembly due to slow-leak.
