Solid-state imaging device, method of manufacturing the same, and electronic apparatus

Abstract: A solid state imaging device that includes a substrate having oppositely facing first and second surfaces and a photoelectric conversion unit layer having a light incident side facing away from the substrate. The substrate includes a first photoelectric conversion unit and a second photoelectric conversion and the photoelectric conversion layer includes a third photoelectric conversion unit.

Data stream-distribution system and method therefor

Abstract: A mutual recognition process is performed in step S1. When it is determined in step S2 that a request for sending a list of musical pieces has been received, the list of musical pieces is sent in step S3. When a request for sending audio data has been received in step 54; a transfer-rate measurement process is executed in step S5. When it is determined according to the transfer rate in step S6 that the audio can be transmitted, the corresponding compressed audio data is extracted in step 57, the compressed audio data is decoded to generate linear PCM data suited to the transfer rate in step S8, and transmitted in step S9. When the audio data cannot be transmitted, an error message is transmitted in step S10. The present invention can be applied, for example, to a server for distributing audio data and an audio player terminal for reproducing the distributed audio data.

Apparatus and method for replacing a broadcasted advertisement based on heuristic information

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus comprises a data storage unit and a data processing unit Coupled to the data storage unit, the data processing unit is adapted to the access heuristic information stored in the data storage unit and transmitting a signal that is used to at least partially control selection of broadcast advertisements being downloaded so that the broadcast advertisements are more suited to the subject matter of interest to the user

Authoring system and authoring method, and storage medium

Abstract: An action editing window (200) shows a timetable of two-dimensional time-line type composed of a horizontal time axis and a vertical channel In the time-line table, constituent contents of an action such as a time ruler (201), a keyframe channel (202), a motion channel (203), a sound channel (204), and an LED operation channel (205) are displayed in time series The user can edit data while confirming the synchronism between the constituent elements of an action The creation and editing of a series of commands/data describing a motion pattern of a robot is supported

Signal transmission apparatus, electronic device, and signal transmission method

Abstract: A signal transmission apparatus including: a plurality of modulating sections configured to modulate a transmission object signal; and a plurality of demodulating sections configured to demodulate the modulated signals modulated by the modulating sections, wherein each of carrier frequencies as frequencies different from each other used by respective sets of the modulating sections and the demodulating sections is set such that frequency of a third-order intermodulation distortion component generated on a basis of two carrier frequencies adjacent to each other is not present within any of reception bands of modulated signals based on each of the other carrier frequencies.
