Abstract: There are provided an image processing device, an image processing method, a program, and a portable terminal device which more accurately extract a user's region of interest from an image with fewer operations. The object is solved by an image processing device which divides an acquired image into a plurality of regions, selects at least one region from among the plurality of divided regions, analyzes a relationship between the selected region and a region other than the selected region, and outputs a grouping candidate for a region belonging to the same group as the selected region from the analyzed relationship.

Abstract: A chemical liquid preparation method of preparing a chemical liquid for treating a film formed on a substrate, including a gas dissolving process in which an oxygen-containing gas and an inert-gas-containing gas are dissolved in the chemical liquid by supplying the oxygen-containing gas which contains oxygen gas and the inert-gas-containing gas which contains an inert gas to a chemical liquid, wherein in the gas dissolving process, a dissolved oxygen concentration in the chemical liquid is adjusted by setting a mixing ratio between the oxygen-containing gas and the inert-gas-containing gas supplied to the chemical liquid as a mixing ratio corresponding to a predetermined target dissolved oxygen concentration.

Abstract: An armored self-contained outdoor/indoor siren assembly which eliminates the need for an additional protective box and an additional tamper switch which are generally used in the prior art installations. The armored siren assembly of the invention consists of a rigid and strong cover member which forms a housing, and a number of horns mounted within the housing in coaxial nested relationshp with one another which not only form a sound chamber for the siren, but also form a protective means for the sound generating unit of the siren to prevent access to the sound generating unit by unauthorized persons. The cover of the assembly, as well as the various horns included in the housing, and the mounting brackets for the horns, may all be formed, for example, of rustproof diecast aluminum.

Abstract: To prevent the driver from being confused by the fact that a pseudo vehicle speed to diagnose a vehicle speed meter is indicated when a vehicle speed sensor is disconnected by an accident during vehicle travelling, a pseudo vehicle speed sensor signal is applied to the vehicle speed meter only when the vehicle speed sensor is disconnected from the vehicle speed meter and the disconnected sensor is reconnected to the meter a predetermined time period after the sensor has been disconnected from the meter. The self-diagnostic apparatus is composed of counters, flip-flops and logical gates, and is reset whenever an ignition switch is turned on.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a cross-coil instrument having a pointer, a sensor for sensing a condition to produce a sensor signal indicative of the sensed condition, and a converter coupled to the sensor for converting the sensor signal to a deflection of the pointer. The apparatus comprises a fault detector coupled to the sensor for detecting a disconnection fault to produce a command signal, and a test signal generator responsive to the command signal for generating a predetermined test signal to the converter, thereby moving the pointer to a predetermined position. The operation accuracy of the cross-coil instrument may be checked from the difference between the actual and predetermined pointer positions when a connector provided in a signal line between the sensor and the fault detector is pulled out.

Abstract: An alarm horn includes a one-piece molded body which includes a casing portion having opposite open ends, and a first horn disposed in the casing portion and having opposite open ends. The first horn is connected to the casing portion at their one ends. A second horn of a generally cup-shape is disposed in the first horn in spaced relation thereto. Connective portions extend between the first and second horns to connect them together. A sound-generating unit is disposed in the casing and is fixedly connected to the other end of the first horn.
