  • Patent number: 7825979
    Abstract: The present invention reads the image recorded in a recording medium, and displays the read image in a display unit. In a case where a changeover instruction to change the display image to the next image is continuously detected, the reading of the image by a reading unit and a display by the display unit are performed in order, and a display at the display unit is changed depending on whether or not the read image satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Publication number: 20100248470
    Abstract: A semiconductor device with improved bondability between a wire and a bump and cutting property of the wire to improve the bonding quality. In the semiconductor device, a wire is stacked on a pad as a second bonding point to form a bump having a sloped wedge and a first bent wire convex portion, and a wire is looped from a lead as a first bonding point to the bump and is pressed to the sloped wedge of the bump with a face portion of a tip end of a capillary to bond the wire to the bump. At the same time, the wire is pressed to the first bent wire convex portion using an inner chamfer of a bonding wire hole in the capillary to form a wire bent portion having a bow-shaped cross section. The wire is pulled up and cut at the wire bent portion.

  • Patent number: 7778429
    Abstract: This invention has as its object to record audio data by a simple operation upon recording the audio data as an operation sound or startup sound of an image sensing apparatus such as a digital camera or the like. To this end, upon recording audio data, since a startup sound, operation sound, shutter sound, and self-timer sound are set as purposes of audio data to be recorded, an audio recording time is set by selecting a desired one of these purposes. After the audio recording time is set, when audio recording is started by a user's intention, audio recording is executed for the set time, and other operations such as an audio recording stop operation and the like are inhibited during this interval. Hence, audio recording is executed until the set audio recording time elapses.

  • Patent number: 7756362
    Abstract: In this invention, when images, in image files managed according to photographing dates, which match a search condition are to be displayed, the images matching the search condition are sequentially displayed such that the positions or distribution of the image files, of all image files, which match the search condition can be checked. For this reason, when the search condition is changed by operating upper and lower keys provided on the back face of a digital camera, a search is made for images matching the condition after the change. Indicators indicating the relative positions of the images matching the search condition in the list of image files arranged in the order of photographing dates are displayed. When the left and right keys are operated, one of images matching the search condition is displayed in the image display area.

  • Patent number: 7621436
    Abstract: A wire bonding method including the steps of: descending a capillary 5 from above an external lead 1 to press a wire 10 to such an extent that the wire is not completely connected to the external lead 1, thus forming a thin part 16 in the wire; next ascending the capillary 5 and the thin part 16 to substantially the same height as a first bonding point A, then moving the capillary 5 in a direction away from the first bonding point A, thus making a linear wire portion 18 and then cutting the wire at the thin part 16; then connecting the end 19 (thin part) of the linear wire portion 18 and the wire tip end 20 at the lower end of the capillary 5 are connected to the external lead 1; and then separating the wire tip end 20 from the external lead 1.

  • Publication number: 20090195673
    Abstract: Upon continuously displaying a plurality of image data read from a recording medium, printing setting information including trimming information is set for the image data recorded to the recording medium with a corresponding relation to the image data. The displaying of the image data is controlled based on the determination of whether or not the printing setting information is set for each image data read from the recording medium.

  • Patent number: 7505074
    Abstract: In an initial stage where an image obtained by image sensing is displayed, image data in a resolution depending on an image display area of display unit is displayed, thereby a high response can be maintained with respect to a request to display a next image or the like. Further, if a request with an enlargement ratio higher than that in the initial stage has been made, a display image is generated based on image data in a high resolution, thereby a user's request for enlarged display or the like can be fulfilled. When an image (JPEG file) stored in a recording medium is to be displayed, low resolution image data in 640×480 pixel size equivalent to the resolution of the display unit and high resolution image data in an original high resolution indicated with the image file are generated. In the initial stage, the low resolution image data is displayed. If an enlargement request has been made, partial image data cut out from the high resolution image data is resized and is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20080317206
    Abstract: A medical examination system causes a display unit to display an object for shifting to examination processing together with patient information corresponding to identification information of a patient received by a receiving unit if the patient information of the patient is input via an operation unit when the receiving unit receives the identification information of the patient from an external device. The medical examination system shifts to the examination processing without causing the display unit to display the object if the patient information is not input via the operation unit when the receiving unit receives the patient information.
