  • Publication number: 20180151533
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide: a manufacturing method for a highly reliable power semiconductor device which prevents breakage of an conductor pattern and an insulating layer, and has bonding strength higher than that by the conventional bonding between the electrode terminal and the conductor pattern; and that power semiconductor device. Breakage of the conductor pattern and the insulating layer is prevented due to inclusion of: a step of laying an electrode terminal on a protrusion provided on a conductor pattern placed on a circuit-face side of a ceramic board so that a center portion of a surface to be bonded of the electrode terminal makes contact with a head portion of the protrusion; a step of pressurizing and ultrasonically vibrating a surface opposite to the surface to be bonded, of the electrode terminal, using an ultrasonic horn, to thereby bond the electrode terminal to the conductor pattern.

  • Publication number: 20180124369
    Abstract: In a high speed image capturing state, a camera signal processing circuit is not needed to perform a signal process at a high screen rate, but at a regular screen rate. In the high speed image capturing mode, raw data of 240 fps received from an image sensor 101 are recorded on a recording device 111 through a conversion processing section 201 and a recording device controlling circuit 210. Raw data that have been decimated and size-converted are supplied to a camera signal processing circuit 203 through a pre-processing circuit 202 and an image being captured is displayed on a display section 112 with a signal for which a camera process has been performed.

  • Patent number: 9509903
    Abstract: An image processing apparatus, method and non-transitory computer program storage device cooperate to process successive images. Respective frames are created and positioned within the successive images, where each frame has a border. When changes between the frame borders are detected, a controller triggers the capturing of an image. This approach results in the capturing of interesting moments, even if the subject is not a human subject. The change in frame boundaries may be categorized in a variety of ways, including change in aspect ratio, shape, orientation, and position, for example. By detecting the changes in this way, an imaging device can capture images of interesting events automatically.

    Abstract: A mass flow controller with high accuracy flow rate output control is disclosed. In the mass flow controller, relation data that indicates a corresponding relation between a flow rate of a reference gas and a CF value of a sample gas is stored, a target flow rate is converted into a reference gas flow rate by the use of a predetermined CF value, a sample gas flow rate is calculated from the converted reference gas flow rate and a CF value corresponding to the reference gas flow rate, the sample gas flow rate is compared with the target flow rate, and the CF value that is used for conversion of the reference gas flow rate or calculation of the sample gas flow rate is updated by the use of the corresponding relation based on the error between the sample gas flow rate and the target flow rate.
