A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device comprises: preparing a lead frame including a package external region and a package internal region, a burred surface being provided at a top end of a side of the lead frame, and a fracture surface being provided in the vicinity of the top end of the side; chamfering the top end of the side in the package external region; mounting a semiconductor element on the lead frame and sealing the semiconductor element with mold resin in the package internal region; and removing resin burr provided on the side of the lead frame in the package external region after the chamfering and the sealing.

Method for manufacturing semiconductor device including removing a resin burr

In an image forming apparatus and an image forming method, a paper position aberration detecting sensor including a light emitting element and a light receiving element is disposed in the paper conveying path of the image forming apparatus. The amount of paper position aberration in paper conveyance is detected by a counter, and on the basis of the result of the detection, a CPU controls the writing start position of a printed image.

Image forming apparatus

The present invention is a block oriented control system that allows interoperability between devices made by different manufacturers. A block oriented control system is a system which includes a plurality of field devices incorporating a physical layer, communication stack, and user layer, with the field devices being connected by a transmission medium, such as a bus. The physical layer receives signals from the bus and translates the signals into a message for the communications stack, and receives messages from the communications stack and translates the messages into signals for the bus. The communication stack controls the communications between devices operating in the control system. The user layer is a block oriented approach to the system's control functions, and includes function blocks and system management. The function blocks are standardized encapsulations of control functions, such as analog input or proportional/derivative. The system management allows synchronization of the device applications and the network processing.

Block oriented control system

An information transmission system using data compression and/or error detection includes an information compression circuit for compressing digital information to generate compressed information. A record/reproducing device is provided for recording the compressed information on a recording medium, and reproducing the compressed information from the recording medium. Transmission circuitry is provided for transmitting the compressed information reproduced from the record/reproducing device to a transmission channel without expanding the compressed information. An information expansion circuit is then provided for expanding the compressed information which has been transmitted through the transmission channel in order to reproduce the digital information.

Information transmission system using data compression and/or error

In transferring image data between a first memory for storing image data in a first sequence and inputting and outputting the image data from and to a first data bus and a second memory for storing image data in a second sequence different from the first sequence and inputting and outputting the image data from and to a second data bus, the permission and the inhibition of the writing of the transferred image data to a transfer destination are controlled and the error detection/correction encoding/decoding is effected during the transfer to facilitate the address management and permit high speed processing of the image data.

Image processing apparatus with two types of data format

A digital signal recording apparatus is arranged to be capable of permitting long-time recording on one and the same recording medium without impairing the quality of audio signals at all. The apparatus has a first mode in which a digital video signal supplied from a video input circuit and having the amount of information not compressed by a video compression circuit is recorded on the recording medium by a recording circuit while all of n channel digital audio signals supplied from an audio input circuit are recorded by the recording circuit; and a second mode in which the digital video signal having the amount of information compressed by the video compression circuit and only part of the n channel digital audio signals supplied from the audio input circuit are recorded by the recording circuit.

The apparatus has a first mode in which a digital video signal supplied from a video input circuit and having the amount of information not compressed by a video compression circuit is recorded on the recording medium by a recording circuit while all of n channel digital audio signals supplied from an audio input circuit are recorded by the recording circuit; and a second mode in which the digital video signal having the amount of information compressed by the video compression circuit and only part of the n channel digital audio signals supplied from the audio input circuit are recorded by the recording circuit.

Audio signal recording apparatus

A data processor in which input image data is coded by a coder, with the coded image data being stored in a memory. A controller controls a data amount of the coded image data which is output from the coder by comparing a predetermined set value and a data occupation ratio of the memory. The set value is changed in accordance with a transmission rate used when transmitting the coded image data. Audio data may be multiplexed with the output coded image data, with the timing of providing the audio data to the multiplexer being adjusted in accordance with the transmission rate.

Data processing apparatus

A dye is fixed to a solid material by using a diene or dienophile as the dye, incorporating a dienophile or diene into the solid material, effecting Diels-Alder reaction between the diene and the dienophile or between the dye and the solid material for binding the dye to the solid material. The dyed solid material has an increased dye concentration and prevents dye diffusion with the lapse of time.
