Nonvolatile semiconductor memory device

Abstract: To propose a new channel structure suitable for high efficiency source side injection, and provide a non-volatile semiconductor memory device and a charge injection method using the same. The non-volatile memory device includes a first conductivity type semiconductor substrate (SUB), a first conductivity type inversion layer-forming region (CH 1 ), second conductivity type accumulation layer-forming regions (ACLa, ACL 2 b), second conductivity type regions (S/D 1 , S/D 2 ), an insulating film (GD 0 ) and a first conductive layer (CL) formed on the inversion layer-forming region (CH 1 ). A charge accumulation film (GD) and a second conductive layer (WL) are stacked on an upper surface and side surface of the first conductive layer (CL), an exposure surface of the inversion layer-forming region (CH 1 ), and an upper surface of the accumulation layer-forming regions (ACLa, ACLb) and the second conductivity type regions (S/D 1 , S/D 2 ). The second conductive layer (WL) is connected to a word line and second conductivity type regions (S/D 1 , S/D 2 ) are connected to bit lines (Bla, BLb).

Scrolling navigational display system

Abstract: A user-interface system (350) adapted to navigate through a plurality of menus is disclosed. The system comprises a display system (300) comprising a display (310) having a category area (332 a-e) on a first portion of the display, the category area displaying a plurality of categories, including a currently displayed category. Each of the plurality of categories has a plurality of items. The display also has a marquee area (352 a-c) on a second portion of the display, which displays items of the currently displayed category. The system further comprises a scrolling mechanism (360) for scrolling through items of each category of the plurality of categories. The marquee area is updated by the scrolling mechanism to display the corresponding items in each category. The scrolling mechanism also indicates a position of a currently displayed item of a currently displayed category by updating the category area. Various embodiments are disclosed.

Method and system for reducing lexical ambiguity

Abstract: A method and system for reducing lexical ambiguity in an input stream are described. In one embodiment, the input stream is broken into tokens. The tokens are used to create a connection graph comprising a number of paths. Each of the paths is assigned a cost. At least one best path is defined based upon a corresponding cost to generate an output graph. The generated output graph is provided to reduce lexical ambiguity.

Communication method, base station and terminal apparatus

Abstract: A communication resource allocation method is one in which a second apparatus allocates a communication resource based on a request from a first apparatus, and includes an allocation request step for transmitting an allocation request signal by the first apparatus to the second apparatus, and a resource allocation step for detecting, by the second apparatus, the allocation request signal to allocate a communication resource. The communication resource allocation is carried out by using a resource of a predetermined amount as a unit.

Information processing device, information recording medium, information processing method, and computer program

Abstract: A data placement configuration which ensures seamless playback of contents having segment portions including multiple different variations of encrypted data is provided. With regard to contents having segment portions configured of multiple different variations of encrypted data to which individual segment keys have been applied, and non-segment portions serving as encrypted data to which a unit key has been applied, the placement of segment data and non-segment portion configuration data is determined such that the maximum jump distance executed at the time of playback processing is equal to or less than a maximum jump distance set beforehand. Data placement has been determined based on seek time, ECC block processing time, sequence key usage time which is key switchover time, and so forth.
