Abstract:
An image processing apparatus is provided with an area sensor which is formed by arranging sensor components for a pixel in a two-dimensional array and is attached in an inclined manner with respect to a reference installation position. The apparatus has a sensor unit which reads, from the sensor components which are determined based on an inclination angle indicating an inclination of the area sensor from the reference installation position and have been arranged within the area sensor, image data in which the inclination has been corrected; an image obtaining unit which obtains a plurality of frames of image data having a shift of less than one pixel, by scanning an original document image once by the sensor unit; and a high resolution conversion unit which obtains image data with a resolution higher than resolutions of the sensor components by using the obtained image data to perform interpolation processing.
Abstract:
In an Mn-containing perovskite oxide which is a conventional phase-change substance (A1−xBx)MnO3, when the mixing amount x is increased, the transition temperature (Tc) is shifted to higher temperature side, but the slope of a change in the emittance become gentle and Δε (ε at higher temperature−ε at lower temperature) also become small. In the present invention, the compositional formula of the phase-change substance is the Mn-containing perovskite oxide represented by (A1−xBx)Mn1+yO3 with 0

Abstract:
An object of the invention is to achieve an increased speed of blood collection and separation as well as ease of handling of plasma components after blood separation. A blood-collecting tube, which draws in blood and separates it by using an internal negative pressure in the tube, comprises an upstream tube 10 having a blood inlet 11 and blood outlets 18, a filter 20 for separating blood and a downstream tube 12. A plug 18 is fitted to the blood inlet 11 to thereby close the interior of the upstream tube 10, and the filter 20 is installed so that it blocks the blood outlets 18. The downstream tube 12 is disposed to enclose the filter 20 and constructed in such a way that the downstream tube 12 can be attached to and detached from the upstream tube 10.

Abstract:
This invention provides heat-conductive materials which may receive evenly the heat as applied thereto, which have an improved heat-releasing effect, which are free from fine pores on the surfaces thereof and therefore have excellent adhesiveness to thin films of plating materials or brazing materials, which have excellent compatibility with materials to be applied thereto, such as chips or sealant resins, with respect to the thermal expansion coefficients of them, and have excellent thermal conductivity, and which may have any desired thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity in accordance with the use and object of them. It also provides methods of producing the heat-conductive materials. One aspect of the heat-conductive materials is such that a two-layer sheet or three-layer sheet to be formed by previously welding under pressure a copper foil to one surface or both surfaces of a Kovar sheet followed by forming a number of small through-holes through the sheet has been welded under pressure to and integrated with one surface or both surfaces of a copper sheet as previously heated up to a temperature not lower than the recrystallizing temperature thereof with a heating device. Another aspect of them is such that a copper sheet as previously heated up to a temperature not lower than the recrystallizing temperature thereof has been welded under pressure to the lower surface of a Kovar sheet having a number of small through-holes therethrough, with a welding machine, and additionally another copper sheet has been welded under pressure to the upper surface of the same with a welding machine, all the welded sheets having been integrated together. Still another aspect of them is such that the materials of the first aspect and/or the second aspect have been laminated and integrated together. The heat-conductive materials of all the aspects have a high welding strength even though the welding of the constitutive sheets is effected at a small reduction ratio, and they may have determined thermal expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity without fluctuating the previously determined ratio of the copper exposing surface areas (through-hole areas) to the Kovar surface.

In a lead frame material made of a strip of copper or copper alloy sheet for use in resin packages in which semiconductor chips are mounted to and resin-sealed in island portions of a lead frame fabricated from a strip of substrate material, the lead frame material includes selective spot-clad material in which metal foils of low thermal expansion, each of a predetermined size, are roll-bonded and arranged at a predetermined interval to respective positions to be formed with island portions in the longitudinal direction of the substrate material, either on the surface where the semiconductor chips are not to be mounted or on both the surface where the semiconductor chips are to be mounted and on the opposite side. Damage to the chips such as warping or peeling can be prevented during heating upon mounting them.
Abstract:
A clad sheet comprising a metal substrate and a metal cladding layer laminated on at least one surface of said substrate, wherein said cladding layer-laminated surface of said substrate includes a hardened layer portion formed by melting and rapid solidification through laser beam irradiation. In intermediate layer may be interposed between the substrate and the cladding layer through like hardened layer portion. Lamination is made by cold-cladding layer elements after irradiating any one of layer elements with laser beam to produce strong bonding through uniform microcrack formed in the hardened layer portion of several micrometer thick. The clad sheets are useful for making IC lead frames, for which the substrate is conductor metal and the cladding layer is solder applied to partial area of the substrate. The irradiation and cladding process is carried out continuously with a reduced draft.
