Abstract: Systems and methods for detecting defects on a wafer are provided. One method includes generating test image(s) for at least a portion of an array region in die(s) on a wafer from frame image(s) generated by scanning the wafer with an inspection system. The method also includes generating a reference image for cell(s) in the array region from frame images generated by the scanning of the wafer. In addition, the method includes determining difference image(s) for at least one cell in the at least the portion of the array region in the die(s) by subtracting the reference image from portion(s) of the test image(s) corresponding to the at least one cell. The method further includes detecting defects on the wafer in the at least one cell based on the difference image(s).

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to allow a game player to quickly and easily give a command to a game character. In the present program, an object moving on a first path is displayed on an image display unit. When an instruction section is then slid in contact with the image display unit, the slide distance of the instruction section is calculated. An action pattern of a character with respect to an object is then set in accordance with the slide distance. A determination region is set in accordance with the action pattern. A positional relation between the object and the determination region is then determined, and the object moving on a second path is displayed on the image display unit.

Abstract: A game device including: a substituted-for character recognizing unit which recognizes a character to become a substitution object by bringing a finger 107 into contact with the character; a substituted-for character determination unit which determines the recognized character to be a substituted-for character by causing the recognized character to be moved to a substituted-for character determination region (an edge of a monitor 3a); and a candidate character list display unit which displays a candidate character list 109 on an image display unit based on the determination of the substituted-for character, wherein after determining a character who enters the game by bringing the finger 107 into contact with a character on the candidate list, the entering character is displayed on the image display unit in place of the substituted-for character.

Abstract: An aiming cursor display unit 221 displays, in an aiming cursor display region DM1 on a display unit 211, an aiming cursor for determining a position where an action is to be applied to a ball object BL in a game space. A manipulation icon display unit 222 displays a manipulation icon CM for manipulating an aiming cursor K in a manipulation icon display region DM2 that is separate from the aiming cursor display region DM1 on the display unit 211. An aiming cursor linking control unit 224 moves and displays the aiming cursor K in the display unit 211 such that the aiming cursor K is linked with a movement of the manipulation icon CM that is moved and displayed by the manipulation icon display unit 222.

Abstract: The invention includes a group information storing unit for storing a relationship between characters and a plurality of groups formed by dividing the characters according to roles these characters play in a game, and a character moving unit for specifying, when a pointing means is brought into contact with one of sensed areas on an image display unit to be associated with one of the groups, a characters in the group associated with the sensed area that is touched, according to information stored in the group information storing unit, and for moving the specified characters simultaneously in a direction associated with the sensed area that is touched, by an amount corresponding to a predetermined distance.
