Abstract:
A virtual camera for displaying characters to be imaged on a monitor can be readily set. In the present program, a virtual camera and imaging space are set in a virtual game space. A plurality of characters are arranged in the virtual game space. A controller determines whether or not the plurality of characters are positioned inside the imaging space. At least one option among the viewing angle of the virtual camera and the position of the virtual camera is modified. Therefore, when any single character among a plurality of characters is positioned outside the imaging space, the character positioned outside the imaging space is positioned inside the imaging space. The plurality of characters are displayed on the image display unit.
Abstract:
Power electronics equipment includes air-cored insulating transformers inserted between a control circuit grounded to a vehicle body and an upper arm biased at a high voltage, and air-cored insulating transformers between the control circuit grounded to the vehicle body and the lower arm biased at a high voltage. Each of the air-cored insulating transformers includes a primary winding and a secondary facing to each other. The power electronics equipment facilitates improving resistance against hazardous environments, suppressing the deterioration by aging, reducing the adverse effects of noise caused by external magnetic flux, and transmitting and receiving signals while insulating the low and high voltage sides electrically from each other.
Abstract:
An insulating transformer includes a semiconductor substrate, an insulating substrate, a primary winding provided on one of the semiconductor substrate and the insulating substrate, a secondary winding provided on other of the semiconductor substrate and the insulating substrate, and an insulating spacer layer provided in between the semiconductor substrate and the insulating substrate for insulating and separating the primary winding and the secondary winding. The primary winding and the secondary winding are disposed to face each other. The insulating spacer layer maintains a constant interval between the semiconductor substrate and the insulating substrate.
Abstract:
A transformer unit and a power converting device, which lessen the influence of noise caused by an external magnetic flux, while reducing the temperature dependency of a coupling coefficient, and which transfer signals while insulating a low-voltage and a high-voltage side electrically. Air-core type insulated transformers have a first and second winding of a primary winding as a sending side and a first and second winding of a secondary winding as a receiving side. The windings of the primary winding are connected in parallel and are wound so that the directions of magnetic fields generated by an exciting current oppose each other. The windings of the secondary winding are wound so that electromotive forces to be generated by an external magnetic flux cancel each other, and are connected in series so as to raise the electromotive forces by a signal magnetic flux generated by the primary winding.

Abstract:
A magnetic pattern of a master disc is transferred to both sides of a magnetic recording medium with no displacement. The origin of a magnetic recording medium can be determined by observing the inner or outer periphery of the magnetic recording medium. Back-side alignment marks are formed on the front side of the magnetic recording medium based on the origin thus determined. The back-side alignment marks can be observed with a microscope and front-side alignment marks for the magnetic recording medium can be provided on the back side of the magnetic recording medium. The alignment marks provided on the front/back sides of the magnetic recording medium are aligned with the corresponding alignment marks provided on the master disc, and a magnetic pattern formed on the soft magnetic material of the master disc is can be transferred to the magnetic recording medium.

Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a master disk for magnetic transfer, with which a soft magnetic material can be evenly embedded in the grooves of a master disk. A patterned groove is formed on the main surface of a silicon substrate, which is the substrate of a magnetic transfer master disk. A conductive thin film is formed on the main surface of the silicon substrate and the groove surfaces. With this conductive thin film as one electrode, a plating film of a soft magnetic material is deposited on the main surface of the silicon substrate and inside the grooves, on the bottom and sidewalls thereof, by electroplating. Then, just the soft magnetic material deposited on the main surface of the silicon substrate is removed by CMP, causing the soft magnetic material in the interior of the grooves to remain.
