An image capturing support apparatusincludes: a detection unitconfigured to detect facial images that have facial areas corresponding to a face, from a plurality of captured images, respectively; a determination unitconfigured to determine whether or not the amount of light is insufficient for the detected facial images, using the detected facial images; and a superimposition unitconfigured to, when the amount of light is insufficient, adjust the size of each of the facial images, and superimpose the facial areas of the adjusted facial images on each other.

A personal authentication device includes: acoustic signal transmission meansfor transmitting a first acoustic signal to a part of a head of a user; acoustic signal observation meansfor observing a second acoustic signal which is an acoustic signal after the first acoustic signal propagates through the part of the head; acoustic property calculation meansfor calculating an acoustic property from the first acoustic signal and the second acoustic signal; and user identification meansfor identifying the user, based on the acoustic property or a feature value extracted from the acoustic property and relating to the user.

In a data/strobe encoding scheme circuit in which data and a strobe signal are transmitted through different lines, changes respectively in the data and the strobe signal are employed as clock signals for a latching operation, and the data is transmitted to a succeeding-stage circuit operating on a second clock signal. The circuit latches predetermined data by an FF circuit and passes a data pair including a signal indicating that the data has been latched and held therein as well as the latched data to the succeeding-stage circuit, activates, if assertion of a signal indicating reception of the data is received from the succeeding-stage circuit, again the FF circuit which has latched the data and has entered a stop state, and receives new data. There is provided a data/strobe encoding scheme circuit and a data/strobe encoding method, it is possible to implement a data/strobe encoding scheme circuit and a data/strobe encoding method capable of realizing a low-cost data/strobe encoding scheme which is independent of LSI device characteristics and which can be easily designed.
