Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory and configured to receive an instruction to transfer a first application to an execution environment, detect a second application that shares a resource with the first application, the resource being information used upon executing the first application and the second application, provide information for causing a user to determine whether to prohibit transferring the second application to the execution environment when the second application is detected, and invalidate a state in which the second application shares the resource with the first application when instruction to prohibit transferring the second application to the execution environment is received.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus, includes: a state information obtaining unit obtaining state information that indicates a state of driving operation of the vehicle; an image storage unit storing a plurality of two-dimensional image data pieces obtained from the plurality of imaging devices whose viewing fields partly overlap with each other; a specifying unit compositing a plurality of two-dimensional image data pieces into a shape of a three-dimensional projection plane, and then specifying, in correspondence to the state information, a compositing method for overlapping portions of viewing fields to be used for transformation from a three-dimensional image into projection image data viewed from a position of a given viewpoint along a given line-of-sight direction; and an image transformation unit transforming the plurality of two-dimensional image data pieces into projection image data viewed from the position of the given viewpoint along the given line-of-sight direction, by using the compositing method.

Abstract: An apparatus which compensates for dispersion in an optical transmission line. The apparatus includes a fixed dispersion compensator and a variable dispersion compensator. The fixed dispersion compensator has a fixed dispersion amount and coarsely compensates for the dispersion in the transmission line. The variable dispersion compensator has a variable dispersion amount and finely compensates for the dispersion in the transmission line. The fixed and variable dispersion compensators can be located at many positions. For example, one may be in a transmitter and the other may be in a receiver. Both may be in the transmitter and/or the receiver. One may be in either the transmitter or the receiver, with the other in an optical repeater positioned along the transmission line.

Abstract: By means of a plurality of image carrying units, a correction mark formation unit transfers mixed color mark trains in right and left lines onto a moving member in the form of a belt. The mixed color mark trains serve as marks for correcting image offsets between color images and each consist of K-C, K-M and K-Y two-color marks which are superposed on each other in an offset manner. A correction value calculation unit detects a lightness pattern of the mixed color mark trains transferred onto the moving member and figures out correction values for image offsets between color images from the phase of this lightness pattern. A positional offset correction unit automatically corrects the offsets between the color images on the basis of the correction values acquired by the correction value calculation unit.

Abstract: A pattern inspection apparatus is designed to quickly and accurately perform an inspection of an inspection sample, such as a mask or a wafer or the like by irradiating electron beams onto the inspection sample and detecting secondary or backscattered electrons reflected from the surface of the inspection sample and/or transmitted electrons passing through the inspection sample. The pattern inspection apparatus includes an electron beam generator including at least one electron gun for generating at least one electron beam irradiating onto the surface of the inspection sample. A movable support is provided for supporting the inspection sample. The apparatus also includes a detector unit having a plurality of electron detecting elements for detecting electrons containing information related to the construction of the inspection sample and a detection signal processor for processing simultaneously or in parallel formation the outputs of the electron detecting elements of the detector.

Abstract: A polishing machine for polishing the end faces of ferrules supporting coaxially aligned optical fibers to be connected in an optical fiber connector. The machine has a polishing disk composed of a rotating disk with a flat face, a rubber plate fixed on the rotating disk, and a thin metal elastic plate mounted on the rubber plate. The surface of the polishing disk is capable of being indented when the end face of a ferrule is pressed against the surface of the polishing disk. So, by passing the end face of the ferrule against the rotating polishing disk, and rotating the ferrule around its axis alternately to the left and right, the end face of the ferrule is polished approximately spherically. A revolving motion may be included for the ferrule. The curvature of the polished end face is determined by the force used to press the ferrule toward the polisher and the elasticity for the polishing disk.
