Abstract: A motion blur control device uses inter-frame movement computation means to compute an inter-frame movement direction and an inter-frame movement amount from plural frame images acquired at a specific time interval. Motion blur correction means then generates a corrected frame image by correcting motion blur in a specific frame image in plural frame images based on the blur amount set within a range not exceeding the inter-frame movement amount and based on the inter-frame movement direction. Evaluation means evaluates the corrected frame image using a motion blur evaluation function. The motion blur control device controls the blur amount such that the motion blur evaluation function satisfies a specific condition.

Abstract: An acoustic wave device applicable to a wider scope and field and used for transporting a substance of any of wide variety of types to be transported with an improved efficiency without needing to clean a piezoelectric substrate and simultaneously transporting two or more physically separated substances along the propagation direction of a surface acoustic wave. An acoustic wave device has an exciting electrode for exciting a surface acoustic wave formed on a piezoelectric substrate generating a surface acoustic wave by a piezoelectric effect. A transport path plate is disposed adjacently to the exciting electrode over the piezoelectric substrate with a water layer (W) interposed therebetween. When current is supplied to the exciting electrode, a surface acoustic wave is generated on the piezoelectric substrate. The surface acoustic wave causes a longitudinal wave to be emitted into the water layer (W) and attenuates.

Abstract: When a semiconductor sensor element used for detecting high-energy x-rays and gamma rays and an amplifier are connected via wires, the capacitances vary depending on the wires, thereby causing a sensitivity variation. To solve this, a structure for making the capacitances uniform is proposed. If a staggered arrangement is used for high resolution, the capacitances by wiring are different from element to element, so dummy sensor mounting sections (2) are provided to electrode sections (3) to make the capacitance uniform. The width of the connection section is decreased depending on the wiring length so as to make the capacitance uniform.
