Abstract:
A plurality of object arrays in which a plurality of objects are sorted under a plurality of order conditions are generated. A display image is generated by sorting the objects in an order for each object array to line up in the first direction for each of the plurality of object arrays, selecting one object of a first object array of the plurality of object arrays as a reference object, and sorting the objects for each of the plurality of object arrays so that the reference object and objects corresponding to the reference object included in the object arrays other than the first object array line up in the second direction.
Abstract:
The optical fiber delivery system for delivering optical short pulses includes: a chirped pulse source (10) for emitting an up-chirped optical short pulse having high peak power; optical waveguide unit (20) for delivering the optical short pulse emitted from the chirped pulse source (10); negative group-velocity dispersion generation unit (30) for providing negative group-velocity dispersion to the optical short pulse exited from the optical waveguide unit (20); and an optical fiber (40) for delivering the optical short pulse exited from the negative group-velocity dispersion generation unit (30), along a desired distance, in which the optical short pulse emitted from the chirped pulse source (10) is adapted to be exited, from the optical fiber (40), as a down-chirped optical short pulse that is substantially free of waveform distortion resulting from higher-order dispersion.
Abstract:
An image processing apparatus for cropping and outputting a plurality of partial images from an image, includes: an acquisition unit adapted to acquire object areas for a plurality of objects included in an image to be processed; an analysis unit adapted to analyze a distribution of the acquired object areas; a determination unit adapted to determine a cropping scheme for cropping partial images from the image to be processed, based on the distribution of the object areas; and a cropping unit adapted to crop the partial images from the image to be processed, using the determined cropping scheme.
Abstract:
An information processing system stores a plurality of content data having different display qualities for each content in a storage unit, and detects a user operation to instruct switching of a content displayed on a display screen, and determines a switching speed of content display on the display screen based on the detected user operation, and decides a distribution for content data of each display quality to be read out to a temporary memory unit based on the determined switching speed, and reads out the content data from the storage unit to the temporary memory unit in accordance with the decided distribution.
Abstract:
An objective optical system includes a first group having positive refractive power and a piano-convex lens with the convex surface facing the image side; a second group having positive refractive power and a lens whose extreme-object-side lens surface is a convex surface facing the object side; a third group having negative refractive power and a lens whose extreme-image-side lens surface is a concave surface facing the image side; a fourth group having positive refractive power and a lens disposed on the extreme object side, whose image-side lens surface is a convex surface facing the image side and a lens disposed on the extreme image side, whose object-side lens surface is a convex surface facing the object side; and a fifth group having positive refractive power and a combined lens formed by joining a convex lens and a concave lens, the joined surface having negative refractive power.
Abstract:
A meta-information-read unit, a display-cache unit, a pre-reading-cache unit, a display-state-management unit, an operation-input unit, a meta-information-pre-reading unit, and an input-operation-determination unit are provided. The meta-information-pre-reading unit changes a pre-reading condition and pre-reads meta information on the basis of a result of determination made by the input-operation-determination unit and display-state-management information managed by the display-state-management unit.
Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes an illumination light source emitting illumination light, a small-diameter image-transmitting portion, a distal end of which is placed near a specimen, an objective lens converging the illumination light to a proximal end of the image-transmitting portion, a light-detecting portion that detects light returned from the specimen via the image-transmitting portion and the objective lens, and a shield portion partially blocking the illumination light, the shield portion being disposed at near a pupil position of the objective lens or near a position optically conjugate with the pupil position so as to cover the illumination light path on one side in a radial direction. With this configuration, a sharp image with low noise can be obtained by preventing the occurrence of reflection at the proximal end of the image-transmitting portion and also by avoiding autofluorescene from being produced.
Abstract:
There is provided a portable storage device which makes it possible to largely reduce time that is taken to remove the storage cartridge that is inserted and cannot be handled. A removable hard disk cartridge contains a hard disk and a control circuit for control of writing and reading of data in and from the hard disk in a casing thereof. A main unit includes an automatic loading/ejecting mechanism that receives the hard disk cartridge into a predetermined inner position within the main unit and ejects the same out from the position, and a microprocessor that controls storage operation for storing data in the hard disk cartridge. Before the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism performs a receiving operation, it is determined whether access to contents recorded on the hard disk can be gained, and when the access cannot be gained, the receiving operation by the automatic loading/ejecting mechanism is inhibited.
Abstract:
A phosphor composition contains phosphor particles and a water-soluble rare earth compound uniformly covering the surfaces of the phosphor particles. The rare earth compound is present in an amount of from 0.001 to 5% by weight in terms of the corresponding rare earth oxide, based on the weight of the phosphor particles.
