The Microsoft corporation the Japanese font which it developed as the standard font of Windows Vista Japanese edition. As for origin of a word Japanese “clearness”.

Meiryo angular gothic (Sans-Serif) with design of system, is used in picture indication and the default font etc of document preparation as a Windows standard font in place of former “MS gothic”. The JIS X 0213:2004 which is up-to-date character code standard (generally known JIS2004) we were corresponding, indication of the person's name Chinese character and the like which cannot be indicated until recently became possible. Because with JIS2004 form of part Chinese character is modified from old standard, also confusion is expected at the time of movement.

Meiryo consists of only the outline font, the font is indicated designates the use “of ClearType” as prerequisite finely on the picture. As for the former system font, when the outline font is indicated at small letter size, detail collapsing, because it cannot indicate well, the bit map font of several sizes was built in.

When you are infected to Melissa, the message where the document of Word type is attached above it is stated in the address register of Outlook from vis-a-vis 50 people, is transmitted (while the user does not know,) selfishly.

In subject (important message) with there is “important message from 0” from 0, name of that user enters into 0 part. In mail text “Here is that document you asked for… don'tshow anyone else; -).”(It is that document of request, (omission) without showing to the other person, don't you think?; -)) With it is written.

SONY having lectured & producing, the record media which utilizes flash memory. With the standard which furthermore miniaturizes memory stick Duo, utilization with small-sized digital equipment such as portable telephone is supposed.

There is a memory stick Duo in the standard which miniaturizes the original memory stick, but the memory stick micro this furthermore being something which is made thin-shaped lightweight, size vertical 15mm× side 12.5mm× thickness 1.2mm. It is cubic measure of approximately 1/4 of memory stick Duo.

As for data rate with the highest 160Mbps, the schedule which corresponds to the capacity to 32GB. Copyright protective technology “magic gate” of the same company (MagicGate) it corresponds. Using the private adapter, it is possible to utilize with the equipment of memory stick PRO correspondence.

Memory Stick PRO <Memory stick PRO>

Field:
Mobile > memory card > Memory Stick PRO

At one of the SONY flash memory record media, superior type of memory stick of the same company.

In addition to the serial transfer which is adopted with the former memory stick, it reached the point where it can do the parallel transfer which simultaneously sending and receiving it is possible plural bit informations. With that, maximum transfer rate actualizes the acceleration, 160Mbps (theoretical value) which reaches approximately 8 times that of the memory stick. In addition, to recording & to play back in real time it is possible the animated picture of DVD quality by guaranteeing lowest entry speed 15Mbps as standard.

It installs the system file territory in the data area, because also the management data can record while recording the animated picture and the like, power source being cut off suddenly, it can hold down loss of the record data to the minimum

It is the minute electrical machinery element and its creation technology. In the United States it is called MEMS generally, but in Japan “micromachine” (micromachine), “MST” (Microsystem Technology) with also those which are called almost in Europe synonymy. In the United States with the application of semiconductor manufacturing technology, engineering development is advanced many mechatronics technology (the technology which fuses electronic engineering to the machinery) by the development of microminiaturization in Japan and Europe.

As a technical applied example, one kind DMD of optical element of projector (Digital Micromirror Device) and, the minute nozzle which is the head section of the ink jet printer, there is various sensors such as pressure sensor, accelerating sensor and flow sensor etc. In the future as for the manufacturing industry from the first, application is expected even in medical field and the like. As for the match for MEMS in Japan, was executed “Yoshida nano- mechanism project” (1985 - 1990) is famous New Technology Development Enterprise Group (present technology promotion mechanism) as one of “creative scientific propulsion project”.
