A destination calling control apparatus comprising a database 5, an image data storage unit 4, a display unit 2 on which image data stored in the image data storage unit 4 is displayed, area specification means for allowing the user to specify a desired area within an image displayed on the display unit 2, an input unit 3 through which the user enters destination data, a data registration unit 12 which calculates the coordinates of a destination image area specified by the above-described area specification means as a destination image area, associates the coordinates with destination data entered from the display unit 2, and registers the correspondence data with the database 5, and a destination data search unit 13 which calculates the coordinates of an area specified by the area specification means as the destination and, based on the calculated coordinates, searches the database 5 for destination data.

A flash memory system is disclosed. The flash memory system includes a flash memory comprising more than one physical block and more than one page, where each page can be in an enabled state, a blank state or a disabled state. In use, a merge control section reads data on an enabled page from a predetermined physical block using a read section, and writes the data onto a blank page using a write section, thereby copying the data on the enabled page onto the blank page. A merge control section then disables the enabled page using a page-disabling section. When the copying of the data from all the enabled pages in the predetermined physical block is finished, the merge control section collectively erases all the data in the physical block using an erase section.

A method is provided for selecting a stereoscopic pair of images, for example as they are captured by a camera or from an existing collection of captured images. A first image is selected and a cursor overlaid on the first image is aligned with an image feature. The cursor is then shifted by a predetermined amount and a second image is selected such that the cursor is overlaid on the second image and is substantially aligned with the feature.

A mobile communication terminal is provided that includes a body, a first multi-input unit and a second multi-input unit installed at opposite sides of the body, a first inner display screen and a second inner display screen that display predetermined menus and a controller configured to control the first multi-input unit to move and execute the menu displayed on the first inner display screen and control the second multi-input unit to move and execute the menu displayed on the second inner display screen.

A tool member includes an indicator device applied onto the tool member for indicating a type or model or standard or size or dimension of the tool member. The tool member may include a neck portion having the indicator device applied on the outer portion, and arranged for allowing the indicator device to be clearly seen by the users, such that the users may easily and quickly find and select or fetch the tool member having the required type and / or the required size or dimension, without rummaging the tool boxes.

A speech synthesis apparatus appropriately transforms a voice characteristic of speech. The speech synthesis apparatus includes an element storing unit in which speech elements are stored, and a function storing unit in which transformation functions are stored, an adaptability judging unit which derives a degree of similarity by comparing a speech element stored in the element storing unit with an acoustic characteristic of the speech element used for generating a transformation function stored in the function storing unit. The speech synthesis apparatus also includes a selecting unit and voice characteristic transforming unit which transforms, for each speech element stored in the element storing unit, based on the degree of similarity derived by the adaptability judging unit, a voice characteristic of the speech element by applying one of the transformation functions stored in the function storing unit.

A method and apparatus for browsing media content and executing functions related to the media content are provided. Under the state that a collage image generated by combining a plurality of image elements corresponding respectively to a plurality of media contents is displayed, if a selection input is generated on the collage image, a preview window for a media content corresponding to a location of a point where the selection input is generated is configured to overlay the preview window on the collage image. If a function execution input is generated on the collage image, a representative function is performed using a media content corresponding to a location of a point where the function execution input is generated.

A method is provided for selecting a stereoscopic pair of images, for example as they are captured by a camera or from an existing collection of captured images. A first image is selected and a cursor overlaid on the first image is aligned with an image feature. The cursor is then shifted by a predetermined amount and a second image is selected such that the cursor is overlaid on the second image and is substantially aligned with the feature.

A microscope system includes, at least, an objective lens for converting a luminous flux from an object into a parallel luminous flux, an afocal variable magnification optical system for changing a diameter of the parallel luminous flux emergent from the objective lens into a different diameter, and an image forming optical system for forming an image out of the parallel luminous flux emergent from the afocal variable magnification optical system, and the following conditions are satisfied:2·NA(ob)·FL(ob)≧30 (mm)6≦Lexz / X≦10where, NA(ob) is the maximum effective numerical aperture of the objective lens, FL(ob) is a focal length of the objective lens, X=2·NA(ob)·FL(ob), and Lexz is a distance from an object surface to the most distant end of the afocal variable magnification optical system.
