A voice operation apparatus and a control method thereof that can further improve accuracy of talker identification are provided. Provided is a voice operation apparatus including a talker identification unit that identifies a user as a talker of a voice operation based on voice information and a voice quality model of a user registered in advance, and a voice operation recognition unit that performs voice recognition on the voice information and generates voice operation information, wherein the talker identification unit identifies a talker by using, as auxiliary information, at least one of the voice operation information, position information on a voice operation apparatus, direction information on a talker, distance information on a talker, and time information.

Identifying user of voice operation based on voice information, voice quality model, and auxiliary information

A biological pattern information processing device includes: a detection result obtaining unit that obtains unique region information that is detected based on biological pattern information representing a biological pattern, the unique region information representing a unique region included in the biological pattern; and a display control unit that causes the unique region to be displayed using a display attribute, based on the obtained unique region information, the display attribute being different from that for a region of the biological pattern other than the unique region.

A method for producing a hollow structure useful as a base material for a heat sink or the like which increases a heat dissipation property of devices mounted in various kinds of electronic apparatuses, without sacrificing downsizing, thinning, weight reduction, and multifunctionality, and provides a hollow structure. The method including: producing a plated composite by coating a surface of a core made of aluminum to form a copper plating layer; cutting off part of the plated composite to expose cut surfaces of the core; and turning a part corresponding to the core into a hollow part by immersing the plated composite in a sodium solution which dissolves aluminum but does not dissolve copper and selectively dissolving and removing only the aluminum, thereby producing a hollow structure whose skeletal part is composed of all copper plating layers.

A dermal image information processing device including a memory; and a hardware component that reads data from the memory and is configured to: acquire dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer; detect an singular region in a pattern of the ridge lines; detect a position that is furthest away from the singular region; determine a region for collation based on the detected position; and perform collation of the pattern of the ridge lines using only feature points that are included in the region for collation.

A dermal image information processing device includes a memory; and a hardware component that reads data from the memory and performs: acquiring dermal image information showing ridge lines in a papillary layer; detecting an singular region caused by a surgical operation in the dermal image; determining a type of the surgical operation that is a cause of generation of the singular region; generating a repaired image showing ridge lines in a papillary layer prior to the surgical operation, based on the type of the surgical operation; and collating the repaired image with a pre-registered dermal image.

A dermal image information processing device includes: a dermal image information acquisition unit that acquires image information indicating an image of a papillary layer; and a singular region detection unit that detects a singular region indicating damage of the papillary layer, based on the acquired image information.

A device including male and female connectors each including mounting pad terminals arranged on both side portions of a surface mounted on a circuit board, and a connector structure. The female connector includes: an insulating film; pad portions formed on one surface of the insulating film; a metal guide member fixedly disposed to cover the other surface of the insulating film and insulatingly coated; female terminal portions including slit openings penetrating in a thickness direction through the pad portions and portions of the insulating film; through-holes penetrating through the metal guide member; and mounting pad terminals formed on both side portions of the other surface of the insulating film, with surfaces projecting more than a surface of the metal guide member and electrically connected to the pad portions respectively. The connector structure includes male terminal portions inserted to the slit openings from the female connector's one surface side.

Connector structure, female connector, and male connector

A connector structure which can realize height reduction of connecting portions and space saving and which prevents separation of a female connector and a male connector from each other due to an impact or vibrations, wherein a conduction structure is formed by bringing connecting pins () of a male connector (B), which are inserted in female terminal portions installed in a flexible circuit board (B) of a female connector (B), into pressure contact with pad portions of the female terminal portions (), and the female connector (B) and the male connector (B) are coupled with each other by inserting column-shaped projections () of the male connector (B) into notch ring bodies () fixed on the flexible circuit board (B) of the female connector (B) and holding the column-shaped projections () by restoring force based on elastic deformation of the notch ring bodies ().

Connector structure

A female connector which is useful for space saving and height reduction of a connector connection portion is a female connector including: an insulating film having flexibility; a plurality of pad portions formed at predetermined positions on one face of the insulating film in an arranged manner; female terminal portions composed of openings formed at one lateral portions within faces of the pad portions so as to extend up to the other face of the insulating film; and spacer bumps formed at positions corresponding to the other lateral positions within the faces of the pad portions in a standing manner within the other face of the insulating film, proximal portions of the spacer bumps being electrically connected to the pad portions.
