摘要:
A pattern-element extractor (51), one of functions implemented by a computer, extracts a plurality of pattern elements from a reference image, a region of which is displayed on a display (45). An input part (46) accepts an operator's selection of one out of the plurality of pattern elements as a reference pattern element, and a distinguishability checker (52) checks whether the selected pattern element is distinguishable from the other pattern elements and usable as the reference pattern element for pattern matching. A result of the check is notified to the operator, and an appropriate one out of the pattern elements in the reference image can be selected as the reference pattern element, by referring to the result of the check made by the distinguishability checker (52). Thus, misrecognition of the reference pattern element used for detecting a position of a target image relative to the reference image in pattern matching is prevented.

A board (9) is placed on a stage part (20) so that the back surface of the board is opposed to the stage part (20). The stage part cuts off light entering a hole penetrating the board (9) from a side of its back surface which is a reverse surface with respect to its pattern formed surface and has a reflection property which is different from that of the pattern formed surface with respect to an illumination light, and the illumination light is emitted from a light source part (31) onto the pattern formed surface (9a). An image pickup part (33) receives light from the pattern formed surface to acquire an inspection image, and a hole-area specifying part implemented by a computer (4) specifies a hole area in the inspection image, which corresponds to a hole of the board (9), by using only the inspection image as image information, in accordance with criteria of pixel values affected by a reflection state of the illumination light entering a hole penetrating the board (9) and being reflected on the stage part (20). Thus, it is possible to detect an area of a hole on the board (9) by using only the inspection image acquired with a reflected light of the illumination light from the light source part (31).

A stepping motor comprises a rotor assembly and a stator assembly. The stator assembly includes first and second stator units arranged horizontally on a same plane. Each stator unit is composed of: upper and lower stator yokes, which are shaped substantially semi-annular, arranged squarely opposite to each other in parallel, each have a plurality of pole teeth formed along its inner circumference so as to surround the rotor assembly, and which are coupled to each other with their respective pole teeth opposing each other so as to intermesh; a coil for exciting, wound rectangularly, and having its axis located outside the rotor assembly so as to be sandwiched between the upper and lower stator yokes; and a spacer shaped substantially in rectangular parallelepiped, oriented parallel to the axial direction of the rotor assembly, and inserted through the coil.

At the tip of an insert portion of an endoscope, LEDs are provided. An air and liquid supply unit is mounted on a handle portion of the endoscope. The air and liquid supply unit is provided with a tank, a pump, and a battery. Liquid, which is supplied to the tip, is stored in the tank. The battery supplies driving current to the pump and the LEDs. The pump takes in the surrounding air. In accordance with the manipulation of the buttons provided on a grip portion of the endoscope, the pump sends either the liquid or the air to the tip.

The present invention relates to a novel endogenous compound 2-amino-3-[2-(&agr;-mannopyranosyl)indole-3-yl]propionic acid; to a method for testing a biological function by quantitating 2-amino-3-[2-(&agr;-mannopyranosyl)indole-3-yl]propionic acid in a collected biological sample and determining the biological function based on the quantitated values; to an antibody specifically reactive with 2-amino-3-[2-(&agr;-mannopyranosyl)indole-3-yl]propionic acid; to a hybridoma that produces the antibody; to a method for immunologically quantitating 2-amino-3-[2-(&agr;-mannopyranosyl)indole-3-yl]propionic acid in a sample by using the antibody; and to a process for producing a 2-amino-3-[2-(&agr;-mannopyranosyl)indole-3-yl]propionic acid derivative.
摘要:
A portable endoscope system having an illuminating light guide for transmitting light for illuminating an object, and an illuminating light supply unit for supplying illuminating light to the illuminating light guide. The entrance end portion of the illuminating light guide is disposed in an endoscope control part. The portable endoscope system includes a device for detachably connecting together the illuminating light supply unit and the control part, and a device for sealing a joint between the illuminating light supply unit and the control part. The illuminating light supply unit includes a movable contact positioned to contact an electrode of a battery and separable from the battery, and a spring biasing the battery in a direction opposite to a direction in which the movable contact member is moved for separation from the battery.

A halftone dot forming method of the invention uses a replicated unit area of prescribed configuration including N pieces of halftone dot areas, where N is an integer of at least 2. An image signal is compared with threshold values assigned to pixels in the replicated unit area to form the halftone dots. The threshold value distribution in the replicated unit area is determined so as to form halftone dots whose areas are substantially equal at an arbitrary halftone dot area rate and which interconnect substantially simultaneously when the halftone dot area rate is 50%.

A unit connecting member for connecting an illuminating light supply unit to a control part of an endoscope includes a receiving socket mounted to the control part for detachably receiving the illuminating light supply unit for connection to, and disconnection from, the control part. The unit connecting member further includes an electrically insulating member provided between the receiving socket and the control part, for electrically insulating the light supply unit from the control part. The endoscope system further including an illuminating light guide for transmitting light for illuminating an object, and an illuminating light supply unit for supplying illuminating light to the illuminating light guide. The illuminating light supply unit is detachably attached to the control part. The portable endoscope system includes an AC/DC conversion adapter which is connected to an AC power supply to output a predetermined DC voltage and is connectable to the illuminating light supply unit.
