  • Patent number: 11972619
    Abstract: An information processing device includes: a storage configured to store display region information and a count value, the display region information indicating a position of a predetermined display region in a first image corresponding to image data, the count value indicating frequency of display of each predetermined region in the first image; and a processor including hardware. The processor is configured to, based on the image data and an instruction signal for selecting the display region, generate a display image corresponding to the display region that is selected by the instruction signal, determine whether the display region information meets a first condition, add a predetermined value to the count value of the region on which it is determined that the first condition is met, and set, for a region of interest, a region that draws an interest in the first image based on the count value.

  • Patent number: 8772826
    Abstract: It is an object to provide a photoelectric conversion device with high photoelectric conversion efficiency. The photoelectric conversion device includes an electrode layer, and a light absorbing layer located on the electrode layer. The light absorbing layer is comprised of a plurality of stacked semiconductor layers containing a chalcopyrite-based compound semiconductor. The semiconductor layers contain oxygen. A molar concentration of the oxygen in surfaces and their vicinities of the semiconductor layers where the semiconductor layers are stacked on each other is higher than average molar concentrations of the oxygen in the semiconductor layers.

  • Patent number: 8318330
    Abstract: A substrate for a magnetic read/write head is disclosed. The substrate can reduce detachment of crystal grains when the substrate is machined. The substrate may be machined when the substrate is cut into strips or a flow path surface recess is formed to produce the magnetic read/write head. The reduced detachment of crystal grains makes the magnetic read/write head more resilient to chipping, which allows the magnetic read/write head to have a lower and more stable flying height that increases recording density.
