An information processing apparatus and an information processing method for use therewith are provided so as to implement optimal signal processing without deterioration of performance when using variable operating frequencies. The receptacle includes a bottom and a sidewall circumscribing the bottom and extending from the bottom to an upper edge. An insulated gate structure adjoins each conduction channel area for controlling formation of a conduction channel in the conduction channel areas to control majority charge carrier flow from the source regions through the first region to a further region adjoining the second major surface. The cells of the honeycomb structure can be irregular in height, thickness, density or shape to further support and damp vibrations. The present method and the associated device, in at least one embodiment, allow an operator to evaluate the corresponding image data records with a reduced outlay on time. One way to compare images is to subtract the later obtained image from the previously obtained image to determine which image pixels have changed in value and analyze the changed pixels.
