Abstract: A light-emitting device includes lead frames, a light-emitting element placed on a bottom of a recessed portion formed at one of the lead frames, and a light-transmitting resin covering the light-emitting element. The lead frames have a covered region which is covered with the light-transmitting resin and an exposed region exposed out of the light-transmitting resin. The light-emitting device has a gap between the lead frame and the light-transmitting resin at an inner side surface of the recessed portion, the gap having a width longer than a main wavelength of light from the light-emitting element. The lead frame is in close contact with the light-transmitting resin at an end of the covered region, which is located in a boundary with the exposed region or in the vicinity of the boundary within the covered region.

Abstract: Feature points (41, 42, 43) in the heat image (10) of a casting die (1) are extracted and a predetermined geometrical conversion processing is performed on the heat image (10) such that the feature points are superimposed on the reference feature points (61, 62, 63) set in a reference heat image (30) picked up previously to generate a corrected heat image (20). A difference image (40) is generated by superimposing the corrected heat image (20) and the reference heat image (30) such that the corrected feature points (51, 52, 53) in the corrected heat image (20) is superimposed on the corresponding reference feature points (61, 62, 63). With such an arrangement, a highly reliable difference image can be generated even when the imaging field of vision slips off among a plurality of heat images.

The reflectivity of the metal film is higher than that of the conductive wire at the emission peak wavelength of the light emitting element.

Abstract: The present invention is designed to display a matrix plane on which a time axis and an axis of applicable levels corresponding to a predetermined keyword cross each other, arrange and display identifiers indicating scenes obtained by dividing a moving image file into predetermined segments on the matrix plane and decide, when the positions of the identifiers arranged on the matrix plane are moved to desired positions, the applicable levels corresponding to the positions of the identifiers arranged on the matrix plane as the applicable levels of the scene corresponding to the identifiers. This makes it possible to improve the operability of assignment of keywords and applicable levels to a picture scene and visually check the situation of assignment of the keywords and applicable levels.

Abstract: The present invention is provided with a text string/material correspondence table in which material data for creating computer graphics is associated with a set of the material names of material data, and a hierarchical structural description which describes a feature of material data in a hierarchical structure. Material data corresponding to the feature is searched using the hierarchical structural description when a feature is input, searched material data is stored, and searched material data and the material name of material data are registered with the text string/material correspondence table. Material data corresponding to the material name is acquired using the text string/material correspondence table when a material name is input, and computer graphics are created using acquired material data.
