Abstract:
An inspection apparatus includes a wafer stage for carrying a wafer, an illumination module which irradiates an inspection beam on the wafer carried on the wafer stage, a detection module which detects scattering rays or reflection rays from the wafer on the wafer stage and outputs an image signal, a coordinates control module which stores information about the arrangement of individual inspection areas on the wafer, and an imperfect area recognition module which recognizes, on the basis of the inspection area arrangement information stored in the coordinates control module, an imperfect inspection area interfering with a wafer edge.
Abstract:
An instruction-set-simulator generating device that generates an instruction-set-simulator program for simulating an instruction execution process of a real central processing unit on a host central processing unit that differs from the real central processing unit, the instruction-set-simulator generating device comprises: an application-program reading unit that reads an application program that is executable on the real central processing unit; an execution-stage instruction conversion unit that converts a function of an instruction in the application program into at least one instruction (execution-stage instruction) for simulation on the host central processing unit; a fetch-stage instruction generating unit that generates at least one instruction (fetch-stage instruction) that simulates operation timing of an instruction fetch stage among pipeline stages of the real central processing unit prior to the execution-stage instruction; and an instruction-set-simulator program output unit that generates the instruction-set-simulator program based on the execution-stage instruction and the fetch-stage instruction; at least one of the execution-stage instruction conversion unit and the fetch-stage instruction generating unit generating a counter instruction for simulating an execution time of the real central processing unit.
Abstract:
A liquid discharge apparatus includes heads to discharge a liquid; caps to contact and move away from the plurality of heads, respectively; individual drain passages communicating with the plurality of caps, respectively; at least one common drain passage communicating with at least two of the individual drain passages; suction devices provided in the individual drain passages, respectively; and a controller. Each of the individual drain passages is to allow and shut off communication between the cap and the common drain passage. The controller causes the individual drain passage to allow the communication between the cap and the common drain passage when performing capping and decapping of the head. The controller caps the sucking target with the cap after shutting off each individual drain passage communicating with the cap corresponding to the head that is not a sucking target.
Abstract:
A thermal transfer sheet comprising: a substrate; a heat resistant slip layer provided on one side of the substrate; an undercoat layer and a dye layer provided in that order on the other side of the substrate, wherein the undercoat layer is formed by using colloidal inorganic pigment ultrafine particles and a copolymer resin of vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate as main components.
