Semiconductor device, and manufacturing method thereof

A method for associating related electronic messages in computer storage. A first transportable application is created and stored. User input requesting creation of a link from the first transportable application to another transportable application is received. User input that selects a second transportable application from among a plurality of previously created transportable applications is received. A link from the first transportable application to the second transportable application is created and stored. As a result, transportable application may be inter-related in complex message webs. The message webs may also be inter-related in message web rings. Links may be generated manually or automatically, based on context, workflow processes, or other known relationships among applications. Recipient lists and data may propagate among fields of linked transportable applications, directly or according to abstract business rules. Further, multiple-part electronic messages are disclosed. A graphical user interface of an electronic messaging system displays a message in the form of one or more header portions and one or more body portions. Each of the body portions has a selection region. While one body portion is visible at a given time, all the selection regions are continuously visible in the user interface to facilitate selection of any of the body portions at a particular time. Selecting a selection region of a non-displayed body portion causes a server to generate a refreshed user interface that includes the entirety of the selected body portion, and that hides the previously viewed body portion. As a result, a large amount of associated information may be combined in a single message in a way that is clearly organized and easily accessible.

A computer (101) implemented method (300) of converting a document in an input format (304) to a document in a different output format is disclosed. The method generally comprises locating data in the input document, grouping data into one or more intermediate format blocks in an intermediate format document (402), and converting the intermediate format document to the output format (404) document using the intermediate format blocks (518). Each intermediate format block may be paragraph, a line, a word, a table, or an image. The input document may be received over a network and the output document is sent over the network. A linked table of contents and/or an index may be generated. A computer executable program may be generated and inserted into the output document for selecting one output format for displayed (534). The output document may be displayed by locating sub-page breaks in the document, subdividing the document into sub-pages using the sub-pages breaks, locating blocks within each sub-page, and sequentially displaying all or a portion of each block of the sub pages within display parameters of a display configuration. Tables may be divided to be displayed in more than one display page. The converter (532) may be incorporated in a computer program product for maintaining a repository of input documents in one or more storage formats.

A liquid crystal display apparatus has horizontal and vertical scanning circuits for scanning an array of pixels. An image signal applied to an image signal supply circuit in the form of series of pixel signals is transferred to pixels in the array of pixels designated by the horizontal and vertical scanning circuits.
