Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080198142 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An image processing apparatus provided with a display unit for displaying an operation picture, showing control indicia (e.g., icons) corresponding to multiple image processing functions, is operated to display the operation picture on an external display device. The operator selects one of the indicia shown on the external display device by operating an input device, such as touch screen of the apparatus or a remote control, to indicate the position of the desired one of the indicia. The operator can thereby quickly and reliably select an image processing function to be executed, without any need to view an operation picture on the display unit when making the selection. | 08-21-2008 |
20100026847 | Electronic camera with self-explanation/diagnosis mode - An electronic camera having a plurality of functions including capturing and recording images is provided. The electronic camera includes an on input unit for inputting external operations that designate corresponding functions of the camera to be performed, an image pickup unit for capturing the image of an object, and a recorder for recording the image captured by the image pickup unit. The electronic camera further includes a playback unit for at least playing back image information that is recorded on the recording medium and a mode selector for selecting one operation mode of the camera from a plurality of available operation modes that include an operation explanation mode. If the operation explanation mode is selected at the mode selector, the playback unit plays back an operation guide that is pre-stored in a memory, the operation guide explaining at least one of the camera operations and functions thereof. | 02-04-2010 |
20100224926 | NON-VOLATILE SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A plurality of NAND cells are arranged in a cell array. In each of the NAND cells, a pair of selection gate transistors is connected in series to a plurality of memory cell transistors. An inter-gate connection trench is formed in an insulating film between layers of stacked gates of the selection gate transistors. The stacked gates are electrically connected to each other. At an end part of the cell array in the row direction, an STI area is formed, and dummy NAND cells are formed at an end part in the row direction. A dummy selection gate transistor is connected in series to a plurality of dummy memory cell transistors. No inter-gate connection trench is present in an insulating film between layers of stacked gates of the dummy selection gate transistor, and the stacked gates of the dummy selection gate transistor are not electrically connected to each other. | 09-09-2010 |
