摘要:
A high withstand voltage lateral semiconductor device capable of improving its on-state breakdown voltage and safe operation area (SOA) without lowering its current capabilities, and structured so as to be easy to produce. The lateral semiconductor device comprises a second conductivity type second semiconductor region formed in a semiconductor layer so as to be adjacent to or away from a first semiconductor region, a second conductivity type source region, a second conductivity type drain region, and a gate electrode formed on a gate insulating film formed between an end of the source region on the surface of the semiconductor layer and an end of the second semiconductor region, wherein the first semiconductor region is extended from under the source region to partly under the gate electrode, the concentration distribution of a first conductivity type impurity increases in the region ranging from the surface of the semiconductor layer to the embedded insulating film and has a peak under the source region, and the impurity concentration in the semiconductor layer ranging from directly under the first semiconductor region to the embedded insulating film is lower than the surface concentration in the first semiconductor region.

From CT images having captured an abdomen, a two-dimensional characteristic space is assumed, in which X and Y axes indicate CT values of image data taken in first and second time phases different from each other. In this space, a two-dimensional histogram concerning respective pixels located at the same position in the two time phases is taken as a sample distribution of pixels. A two-variable distribution function is applied to this sample distribution, so as to estimate a matrix distribution of pixels corresponding to the whole liver region. According to this matrix distribution, a range of CT value of pixels corresponding to the liver region is estimated.

An N-channel transistor includes: an N-type source region, a gate electrode, a P-type body region, an N-type drain offset region, and a drain contact region, which is an N-type drain region. The transistor further includes a gate insulating film that has a thin oxide silicon film (a thin film portion) and a LOCOS film (a thick film portion). The body region has an impurity profile in which the concentration reaches a maximum value near the surface and decreases with distance from the surface. The drain offset region has an impurity profile that has an impurity-concentration peak in a deep portion located a certain depth-extent below the lower face of the LOCOS film.

A method and system for controlling vehicle door position in improved reliability of a vehicle door electromechanical positioning components. The vehicle door control system includes an abnormality detector for detecting abnormal operation of the vehicle door by a deviation of expected door position and/or velocity. If abnormal operation is detected, operation of the electrical motor driving the door is ceased for a predetermined time period. Operation is then resumed if the abnormal condition has been removed. The control system may include a counter for counting a number of attempts to resume operation and further attempts to resume may be ceased if the counter exceeds a predetermined count value. The motor or door positioning system may include a locking device that locks the vehicle door at various positions and the control system use indications of a locked position indicator to determine whether or not to resume operation of the electric motor.

An image capture apparatus capable of generating a mirror image of a captured image and superimposing character patterns on the mirror image. The image capture apparatus includes an image capture device and a display device. The display device is rotatably coupled to the image capture device such that the display device can rotate between a normal position and self-portrait position. When in the self-portrait position, the display device displays a mirror image of the captured image, a superimposed character pattern, and an operation condition pattern. Furthermore, the image capture apparatus includes operation devices that are inhibited from operating by a user when in the self-portrait mode.

A method and system for controlling vehicle door position having reduced power supply current requirements reduces the cost and weight of a vehicle and further reduces power consumption. The vehicle door control system includes an inverter for converting a DC power source to an AC voltage for driving the motor. The inverter is preceded by a boost converter that maintains a constant voltage at the inverter input, and a capacitor is provided between the converter and inverter for energy storage. Kinetic energy is returned from the door and mechanical portions of the motor through the inverter and stored on the capacitor, reducing the power required from the power source. Operation of the inverter and converter are controlled by timers and detection mechanisms that cease operation of the inverter and converter when the door is held in a fully closed or open position for a predetermined interval.

A control apparatus controls a drive of a motor having a movable part via an electric power converter. The control apparatus includes a detecting device for detecting a position of the movable part of the motor; a locking device for locking the movable part of the motor; and a storage device for storing an initial position at which the movable part of the motor is locked for the first time. It is determined that the movable part is locked at an abnormal position when a deviation between the position detected by the detecting device where the movable part of the motor is locked and the initial position stored in the storage means is larger than a predetermined reference distance.

An object of the present invention is to provide an image processing apparatus and an image processing method both offering a high-precision and general-purpose capability of identifying an image and performing appropriate processing depending on whether identification is effected. In the image processing apparatus and image processing method, image data is detected in visible and invisible light reflected from each of a target pixel and surrounding pixels. Based on the image data detected in visible and invisible light, a specific pattern is identified. The specific pattern appears substantially the same in color as a surrounding area under visible light but different in characteristic therefrom under invisible light, which is identified using the image data of the target pixel and surrounding pixels provided by a detector. The image processing apparatus is controlled depending on whether the identification is effected.

A metal tube is formed from a metal tape. The metal tape is rounded to be abutted at the both side edges, and the edge-abutted portion is welded to provide a butt-welded seam. The metal tube includes an inner iron base layer, a chrome layer provided on the base layer, and an outer chrome oxide layer provided on the chrome layer. The chrome oxide layer is preferably toughened at the outer surface to provide an appropriate frictional resistance relative to forming tools.

A reproduction apparatus includes a reproduction device for simultaneously displaying a plurality of still images reproduced from a medium, a mode selector for selecting one of a following multi-reproduction mode and a preceding multi-reproduction mode, and a controller for controlling the reproduction device. When the following multi-reproduction mode is selected, a predetermined number of images following a selected single image are multi-reproduced, and when the preceding multi-reproduction mode is selected, a predetermined number of images preceding the selected single image are multi-reproduced. In addition, whether the predetermined number of images preceding the selected single image mode or the predetermined number of images following the selected single image mode is selected, an image different from the selected single image is included.
