A detected pattern is binarized, the binarized pattern is expanded, an image size is reduced while a connectivity of the expanded pattern is preserved and stored in a first memory. In turn, the binarized pattern is contracted, the image size is reduced while a connectivity of the contracted pattern is preserved and stored in a second memory. Then the expanded pattern is read out from the first memory and a connectivity of the pattern is selected. The contracted pattern is read out from the second pattern and the connectivity of the pattern is extracted. The selected connectivities are compared with the connectivity of a normal pattern to detect a non-coincidence. The circuit pattern having a short circuit or a semi-short circuit defect and a circuit pattern having an open circuit or a semi-open circuit defect are classified and selected in response to these non-coincidences. Further, a pattern shape stored in the first memory is analyzed to specify the position where the short circuit or a semi-short circuit defect is present.

A Stirling engine, wherein the inner yoke of a linear motor is installed on the outer peripheral surface of a cylinder. To keep a proper pressure balance between a compression space on one end side of a displacer and a back pressure space on the outer peripheral side of the cylinder, a first flow passage is formed in the piston starting at the compression space side end face toward the outer peripheral surface and a second flow passage allowing the first flow passage to communicate with the back pressure space is formed in the cylinder. The second flow passage is composed of a through hole that penetrates the wall of the cylinder in a radial direction and a communication passage formed between the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder and the inner peripheral surface of the inner yoke to allow the through hole to communicate with the back pressure space.

A ring-shaped jacket is fitted around the warm section of a Stirling refrigerating device, and a cylindrical heat-rejecting heat exchanger is disposed around the body of the Stirling refrigerating device with a gap secured in between. The jacket and the heat-rejecting heat exchanger are connected together with a pipe to form a closed circuit, and a refrigerant is circulated through the closed circuit. This allows the heat in the warm section to be transferred by the refrigerant, permitting efficient heat rejection from the heat-rejecting heat exchanger. Thus, the desired cold is obtained stably from the cold section of the Stirling refrigerating device.

A region surrounded by two gate wiring and two drain wiring includes pixels and when there is a defect of short-circuit in adjacent pixel electrodes, the short-circuited portion is removed by irradiating a laser via a mask having a transmission pattern, which corresponds to a pattern of the gate wiring, drain wiring and pixel electrodes in the short-circuited portion. The above short-circuited portion is identified and removed in comparison to a normal pattern, by use of information from an inspection apparatus, and the pattern defect formed on the substrate is automatically repaired. By applying the above method to a manufacturing process of display apparatus, in particular, to a resist pattern forming process, a display apparatus having a highly qualified display property may be achieved.

An apparatus for inspecting an appearance of soldered portions connected between the pads formed on a printed circuit board and leads of an electronic body part. A slit light beam is directed to portions to be inspected and scanned thereon with a light fluorescent image generated from the substrate portion of the printed circuit board and a dark fluorescent image generated from the leads, pads and soldered portions being detected with an image signal being generated in accordance therewith. The image signal is binarized and different functions are extracted from the binarized signal which functions are utilized in connection with other functions and previously obtained data to determine whether an abnormal portion is present or not in a predetermined position on the circuit board.

In a method and apparatus for detecting the edge of a fine pattern formed on a specimen such as a fine circuit pattern formed on a semiconductor element or the like, there is prepared a predetermined model waveform based on theoretical secondary electron emission from the edge portion. Secondary electrons emitted from successive scanning points across the pattern edge portion through the irradiation of a scanning electron beam thereonto are detected to produce an actual signal waveform reflecting the secondary electron emission from the pattern edge portion. The actual signal waveform is compared with the model waveform, and one of the scanning points at which the highest coincidence exists between both the actual and model waveforms, is determined as a position of the pattern edge.
