A parallel processing system includes a plurality of stages operatively coupled in parallel and operating simultaneously. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV390455, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV390455 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. An intermediate representation of the functional specification is formed. Other methods of making electronic devices with small functional elements supported on a carrier are disclosed. An image quality adjusting section 24 adjusts the characteristic of the video signal 205 based on the video profile 202, and then outputs the adjustment results as a video signal 206 after image quality adjustment.
