  • Publication number: 20110221921
    Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager repeatedly outputs a scene image generated on an imaging surface capturing a scene. A searcher repeatedly executes a process of searching for a specific object image from the scene image outputted from the imager by using a plurality of reference-use specific object images each of which has a posture different from others. A detector detects the number of specific objects existing in the object scene based on a searched result of the searcher. A determiner repeatedly determines based on the searched result of the searcher whether or not all of the specific objects equivalent to the number detected by the detector satisfy a posture condition. A recorder records the scene image outputted from the imager when a determined result of the determiner is updated from a negative result to a positive result.

  • Publication number: 20110164144
    Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imager, having an imaging surface capturing a scene, which repeatedly outputs a scene image. An extractor extracts a specific reference image coincident with a partial image outputted from the imager corresponding to a predetermined area allocated to the imaging surface, from among a plurality of reference images. An adjuster executes a process of adjusting an exposure amount by emphasizing the predetermined area in parallel with the extraction process. An identifier identifies a color of an object equivalent to the partial image, corresponding to extracting the specific reference image. A corrector executes a process of correcting a tonality of the scene image with reference to the identified result, in place of the extraction process. A searcher searches for a partial image coincident with the specific reference image from the scene image having the corrected tonality.

  • Publication number: 20110141303
    Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imager. An imager, having an imaging surface capturing a scene through a focus lens, repeatedly outputs a scene image. An extractor checks the scene image outputted from the imager with each of a plurality of characteristic patterns so as to extract a specific characteristic pattern satisfying a predetermined condition. A restrictor restricts behavior of adjusting a distance from the focus lens to the imaging surface in association with an extraction process of the extractor. A creator creates a reference image based on the scene image outputted from the imager corresponding to the extraction of the specific characteristic pattern. A register registers the specific characteristic pattern as a characteristic pattern used for searching for an image coincident with the reference image created by the creator.

  • Publication number: 20100277192
    Abstract: A probe is contacted to a test pad, without destroying the circuit formed in the chip at the time of a probe test. Therefore, a load jig, a pressing tool, an elastomer, an adhesion ring, and a plunger are made into one by fixation with a nut and a bolt. The elastic force of the spring installed between the spring retaining jig and the load jig acts so that the member used as these one may be depressed toward pad PD. The thrust transmitted from the spring in a plunger to a thin films sheet is used only for the extension of a thin films sheet.

  • Publication number: 20100235452
    Abstract: An email wrong transmission preventing apparatus calculates memory ratios of addresses of emails in a transmission log by a model expression in which the memory ratios decline over time, compiles the memory ratios of the emails for each destination to set weights, and records the weights in a user weight list. When receiving a planned outgoing email, the apparatus compares the weight of the destination of the planned outgoing email obtained by referring to the user weight list with a predetermined threshold and determines that the destination is “reliable” only if the weight is over the threshold. If even one of the destinations of the planned outgoing email is not “reliable”, the apparatus causes a sender terminal to display an address check screen to prompt address checking. When “checked” is inputted, the apparatus transfers the planned outgoing email to an email transmission server.

  • Patent number: 7598100
    Abstract: As the thickness of the card holder for preventing warping of a multilayered wiring substrate 1 is increased, there occurs a problem that a thin film sheet 2 is buried in a card holder and secure contact between probes 7 and test pads cannot be realized. For its prevention, the thin film sheet 2 and a bonding ring 6 are bonded in a state where a tensile force is applied only to the central region IA of the thin film sheet 2, and a tensile force is not applied to an outer peripheral region OA. Then, the height of the bonding ring 6 defining the height up to the probe surface of the thin film sheet 2 is increased, thereby increasing the height up to the probe surface of the thin film sheet 2.

    Abstract: An electronic camera includes an imaging device. The imaging device has an imaging surface capturing an object scene and repeatedly outputs an object scene image. An orientation of the imaging surface is repeatedly changed by a CPU corresponding to a group photograph mode under which a group of a plurality of faces is captured. The CPU detects a face image from the object scene image outputted from the imaging device in association with a changing process of the orientation of the imaging surface. Furthermore, the CPU decides an angle range within which the group of a plurality of faces is contained based on a detection result of the face image. In addition, the CPU combines the plurality of object scene images outputted from the imaging device so as to create a combined image corresponding to the decided angle range. The created combined image is recorded in a recording medium.
