  • Patent number: 7889983
    Abstract: When an image is photographed via a plurality of optical members which are disposed along a photographing optical axis, a direction and an amount of shake, which occurs, are detected. An imaging device is moved along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis, on the basis of the detected direction and amount of shake. A position on the photographing optical axis of at least one of the optical members is corrected in accordance with data of the movement.

  • Publication number: 20110031584
    Abstract: A first insulating film includes five extension lines formed between connection pad portions of adjacent two predetermined wiring lines. The first insulating film also includes peripheral portions of the adjacent two connection pad portions on both sides of the five extension lines. A second insulating film made of a polyimide resin or the like is formed on the upper surface of the first insulating layer by a screen printing method or ink jet method. Since a short circuit may be easily caused by electromigration in a region where the five extension lines are parallel to another, the short circuit due to the electromigration can be prevented by covering only that region with the second insulating film. Accordingly, the region where the second insulating film is formed can be as small as possible, and the semiconductor wafer does not easily warp.

  • Publication number: 20110013952
    Abstract: An intermediate transfer belt is built in an electro-photographic image forming apparatus. A toner image formed on a photosensitive element is primary transferred on the intermediate transfer belt. The intermediate transfer belt secondary transfers the primary transferred toner image on a recording medium being conveyed at a secondary transfer unit. The intermediate transfer belt has streaks formed by surface roughening on the surface thereof and directed so as to have an angle relative to the driving direction of the intermediate transfer belt within a range from 40 to 140 degree. This angle setting enables stable transfer of an image without causing any character missing.

  • Patent number: 7873112
    Abstract: In an OFDM receiver, one antenna is selected and two moving average integration values (first moving average integration value AI and second moving average integration value AO) of a non-delay symbol and a delay symbol are calculated. Another antenna is selected and two moving average integration values (first moving average integration value BI and second moving average integration value BO) of a non-delay symbol and a delay symbol are calculated. When a result of an evaluation equation “AI/AO>BI/BO” is true, the C/N ratio of the one antenna is judged to be favorable. When the result of the evaluation equation “AI/AO>BI/BO” is false, the C/N ratio of the other antenna is judged to be favorable.
