Abstract: A drawing device draws a pattern on a substrate by radiating light from an optical head part on a target object (for example, substrate) which relatively moves with respect to the optical head part. Here, the optical head part has a spatial modulating unit which spatially modulates light from a light source, based on pattern data, and an optical path corrector which shifts the route of light spatially modulated in the spatial modulating unit at precision subdivided more than units of spatial modulation in the spatial modulating unit (more specifically, for example, units of pixels of spatial light modulator).

Abstract: Correction values (?X1 to ?X4) at the X position (X=xe) of a target point (E (xe, ye)) are calculated by calculating the amounts of shift (?X) in the positions of alignment marks (M11 to M14, M21 to M24, M31 to M34, M41 to M44) in the X direction and plotting first spline curves (SL1) using the amounts of shift. Then, a first sub-spline curve (SL1S) is plotted using the correction values (?X1 to ?X4) in order to calculate a correction value (?Xe) at the Y position (Y=ye) of the target point (E (xe, ye)), and the calculated correction value is taken as the correction amount in the X direction. The correction amount in the Y direction is also calculated in the same manner.

Abstract: Input CAD data and run-length data obtained by performing a RIP process on the input CAD data are acquired. A predetermined conversion process is performed on at least one of the input CAD data and the run-length data to make the data formats of both data comparable and then both data are compared with each other to detect an area having a difference as a defect area in the run-length data. This provides a technique to detect a defect in the run-length data to be used for drawing of a figure before the execution of drawing with a simple structure.

Abstract: In a computer, fixed pattern information indicating respective shapes of fixed pattern elements included in a fixed pattern and respective position vectors of the fixed pattern elements with respect to a reference position in the fixed pattern is prepared and key pattern elements coincident with any of fixed pattern elements are specified from writing pattern elements. Subsequently, a value is added to a position designated by a reverse vector of position vector of a corresponding fixed pattern element with each of the key pattern elements as a starting point in a setting area which corresponds to a writing pattern, and a position is specified to which a value coincident with the number of fixed pattern elements is given, to detect an existing position of the fixed pattern in the writing pattern. It is thereby possible in the computer to extract a fixed pattern from a writing pattern at high speed.

Abstract: An optical cross-connecting device is small in scale of a switch even when a wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through an optical fiber is high density and wide range. Switching of the wavelength multiplexed signals is performed in a first optical switch, switching per wavelength group in a second optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity, and switching per wavelength signals in a third optical switch is performed for only signals required switching for smaller granularity to from the opticall cross-connecting device. By this, even when the wavelength multiplexed signal to be transmitted through the optical fiber is high density and wide band, the optical cross-connecting device can be small in scale of a switch.

Abstract: An easy and efficient failure recovery method in a mesh network is provided. A ring network consisting of a working system and a stand-by system is dynamically configured in response to a request for setting a path in a network in which nodes are interconnected by a plurality of optical fibers. If a failure occurs in the working system, nodes perform signaling for failure recovery to switch traffic to the stand-by system to recover from the failure. When the ring is configured, a ring map containing ring link information, information about ports at each node of channels constituting the ring, and node numbers locally assigned to the ring is provided to each of the nodes constituting the ring. A plurality of rings shares stand-by channel with each other.
