20120180034 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM, AND COMMUNICATION METHOD - Prior to performing download play, it is checked whether or not it is necessary to update firmware of a slave apparatus. When it is necessary to update the firmware of the slave apparatus, a firmware update program is transmitted from a master apparatus to the slave apparatus, and the firmware of the slave apparatus is updated in accordance with the firmware update program. Thus, it is possible to update basic software by a novel method. | 07-12-2012 |
20120215518 | STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM - A normal mode is a processing mode in which processing based on a first architecture for an information processing method is executed, and a compatible mode is a processing mode in which processing based on a second architecture for another information processing method is executed. In the normal mode, first result data obtained by executing the processing based on the first architecture is inputted to an output section configured to output inputted data to a user. In the compatible mode, second result data obtained by executing the processing based on the second architecture is inputted to the output section, in a manner adapting the second result data to input of the output section. | 08-23-2012 |
20130254201 | DATA STRUCTURE, DATA STRUCTURE GENERATION METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM HAVING STORED THEREIN INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM - A method for generating a tree-type data structure composed of a plurality of data strings includes the steps of: summing, with respect to a plurality of data strings classified in a parent node, the numbers of data types of data, respectively, at at least one given string position in each of the plurality of data strings; and classifying, based on the numbers of the data types respectively summed at the at least one given string position in the summing step, the plurality of data strings into a plurality of child nodes, for the respective data types at a given string position. | 09-26-2013 |

20090026506 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - In the semiconductor device, a gate region is formed in a mesh pattern having first polygonal shapes and second polygonal shapes the area of which is smaller than that of the first polygonal shapes, and drain regions and source regions are disposed within the first polygonal shapes and the second polygonal shapes, respectively. With this configuration, the forward transfer admittance gm can be increased as compared with a structure in which gate regions are disposed in a stripe pattern. Furthermore, compared with a case in which a gate region is disposed in a grid pattern, deterioration in forward transfer characteristics (amplification characteristics) due to an increase in input capacitance Ciss can be minimized while a predetermined withstand voltage is maintained. | 01-29-2009 |
20090039398 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME - An n type impurity region is continuously formed on the bottom portion of a channel region below a source region, a gate region and a drain region. The n type impurity region has an impurity concentration higher than the channel region and a back gate region, and is less influenced by the diffusion of p type impurities from the gate region and the back gate region. Moreover, by continuously forming the impurity region from a portion below the source region to a portion below the drain region, the resistance value of a current path in the impurity region is substantially uniformed. Therefore, the IDSS is stabilized, the forward transfer admittance gm and the voltage gain Gv are improved, and the noise voltage Vno is decreased. Furthermore, the IDSS variation within a single wafer is suppressed. | 02-12-2009 |
