Abstract: An image capturing apparatus that includes one or more image sensors configured to capture a plurality of images and store the captured images in a memory. The apparatus also includes a circuitry that detects an input trigger and continues to capture new images in response to the trigger. The numbers of new images captured are equal in magnitude to half the magnitude of the capacity of the memory. The first new image captured after detecting the trigger is tagged as a reference image. In response to the number of new images captured, the sensors are deactivated and the reference image is displayed immediately on a display panel. On detecting an input operation, the apparatus displays a target image from the plurality of images captured in a quick and efficient manner.

Abstract: Optical axes of lens units of measurement heads are adjusted so as to be parallel to each other. The lens unit includes a diffraction lens. When adjusting the optical axis, in a state where the measurement heads face each other with a reference member interposed therebetween, light having a plurality of wavelengths are emitted from the measurement heads to one surface and the other surface of the reference member, respectively. Intensities of primary light having one wavelength, which are reflected by one surface and the other surface of the reference member respectively, and incident on the measurement heads through each of a path of a multi-order light having other wavelengths are displayed on a main display unit as information indicating a degree of orthogonality of the optical axes of the measurement heads with respect to the one surface and the other surface of the reference member.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a computer system, computer program product, and method to process files, and specifically, to support read and write requests of a multi-object file. Upon receipt of a file, a computer system parses the file into two or more logical objects. Each logical object has an associated or inherent characteristic. Each of the logical objects is matched to a storage tier in a multi-tier storage array. Each logical object is then assigned to a tier based on one or more object characteristics in the matched storage tier, and stored in a decomposed format.

Abstract: A switch has a determining section and a memory managing section. The determining section determines whether or not the node is in a non-ordinary state in which received packets cannot be successfully processed, on a basis of a determination whether or not congestion notification packets received from a node have been continuously received during at least a given period and a determination whether or not a quantity of memory used in a buffer memory which accumulates received packets is at least a given value. The memory managing section deletes, in a case where the node is determined to be in the non-ordinary state, data addressed to the node in the non-ordinary state among data accumulated in the buffer memory.
