摘要:
Ignition sections are provided at two locations on each of lower portions of the side surfaces on both sides of a film-forming chamber so as to be provided at four locations in total. A flowing current is applied to the ignition sections when a flammable by-product is ignited. A first detecting section for measuring a pressure in the film-forming chamber is formed on the side surface of the film-forming chamber. A second detecting section is formed at the lower portion of the side surface of the film-forming chamber. A third detecting section for measuring a spatial temperature in the film-forming chamber is formed at an upper portion of the film-forming chamber.

A pattern recognition apparatus that is lightweight for mounting, and reduces the effects of registration conditions or check conditions on recognition accuracy. Similarity sets for respective local features are calculated from a local feature of input data and local features of a plurality of pieces of dictionary data corresponding to the local feature of the input data. Integrated similarities are calculated by integrating a plurality of similarity sets in the local features according to a registration condition or a check condition. Dictionary data corresponding to the input data is identified based on the calculated integrated similarities.

An image-processing apparatus for executing accurate facial expression recognition even for a subject hard to recognize a facial expression is provided. A person's face region is extracted from an image input from an image input unit. A predetermined partial region that changes between when the facial expression is in the first and second states is extracted from the extracted face region. A facial expression evaluation value is calculated using an evaluation value calculation formula. When the calculated facial expression evaluation value exceeds a threshold value, it is determined that the facial expression is in the second state. If the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the calculated facial expression evaluation value within a predetermined time is smaller than a predetermined value, the evaluation value calculation formula or its parameter is changed to increase the difference.

A composite structure forming method comprises the steps of first pre-treating brittle material fine particles to impart an internal strain to the brittle material fine particles, secondly causing the brittle material fine particles in which the internal strain has been created to collide with a substrate surface at high speed or applying a mechanical impact force to the brittle material fine particles containing the internal strain therein provided on the substrate surface, to deform or fracture the brittle material fine particles, re-joining the fine particles through active new surfaces generated by the deformation or fracture, forming an anchor section made of polycrystalline brittle material of which part bites into the substrate surface at a boundary section between the new surfaces and the substrate, and further forming a structure made of polycrystalline brittle material on the anchor section.

Corresponding partial features are extracted from an input pattern and a registration pattern as a preregistered pattern. A plurality of combinations of the partial features are generated as composited partial features. One of registration pattern classes to which the input pattern corresponds is identified by using the plurality of composited partial features. The identification is performed based on the result of evaluation of the partial features which belong to the composited partial feature and correspond to each other in the input pattern and the registration pattern. In the evaluation, the composited partial feature is evaluated based on the measurement result of the quantity of partial features meeting a predetermined criterion.
