  • Publication number: 20240138053
    Abstract: A device embedded substrate provided with first and second connecting terminals on different surfaces, the substrate including: an electrically conductive metal block having one surface connected to the first connecting terminal, and having a dimension in a lateral direction larger than that of the electronic device; an intermediate connecting portion juxtaposed to the electronic device, including first insulation layer and wiring layers, whereby the first wiring layer is connected to the one surface of the metal block via a first conductive via; a second insulation layer which accommodates the metal block; and a third insulation layer stacked on the second insulation layer to embed the electronic device and whereon a second wiring layer is stacked, wherein the second wiring layer is connected to the first wiring layer via a second conductive via and connected to the second connecting terminal of the electronic device via a third conductive via.

  • Patent number: 7102649
    Abstract: An image filling method for reducing filling process in producing animation. The image filling method includes the steps of separating a reference line drawing and a line drawing into first and second closed regions; extracting at least one feature amount of the first and second closed regions; calculating variations of feature amounts between every combination of the first and second closed regions, sorting the first closed regions in ascending order by the variation of the feature amount for each of the second closed regions; generating color candidate lists for each of the second closed regions, wherein duplication of the color information is eliminated; filling each of the second closed regions with a color which is on the top of the color candidate list.

  • Patent number: 6704907
    Abstract: A digital contents editing method performs an editing operation of digital contents with a plurality of computers connected via a network. A digital contents editing apparatus or server accumulates the initial data of the digital contents and the editing operation information which is digitized, and transfers the editing operation information to clients which are involved in the editing operation. Each client then performs an editing operation of the digital contents by creating the editing operation information, in which the editing operation of the digital contents is digitized, and communicates only the editing operation information to other clients via the server and the network.
