  • Publication number: 20240119867
    Abstract: To achieve an improvement in security in encryption of an image signal obtained through imaging by an array sensor. A sensor device includes: an array sensor in which a plurality of pixels including light-receiving elements for visible light or invisible light are arrayed 1-dimensionally or 2-dimensionally; and an encryption unit configured to encrypt a read signal from the pixels of the array sensor. By encrypting a read signal, it is possible to achieve an improvement in security by enabling the image signal not to be stored in plain text in a memory.

  • Publication number: 20220359153
    Abstract: The invention is to simplify operations performed when imaging an electron diffraction pattern by using a transmission electron microscope. As a solution to the problem, a transmission electron microscope includes a detector to which an electron diffraction pattern is projected, a mask for zero-order wave configured to be inserted into and pulled out from between a sample and the detector, and a current detector configured to be inserted into and pulled out from a detection region of the zero-order waves in a state where the mask is inserted. An amount of current of electron beams emitted to the mask is measured in real time, and the measurement result is automatically reflected in settings of imaging conditions of an imaging camera provided in the transmission electron microscope.

  • Publication number: 20210334421
    Abstract: Generation of a search key shape for identifying a dedicated shape with respect to three-dimensional CAD data is facilitated. A shape group registration unit registers multiple pieces of three-dimensional CAD data; a feature amount computation unit computes a feature amount with respect to each of the registered pieces of three-dimensional CAD data; a clustering unit clusters the pieces of three-dimensional CAD data based on a feature amount; a cluster center computation unit determines a feature amount of a cluster center of each cluster from a feature amount of three-dimensional CAD data; and a search key shape registration unit registers feature amount data of a cluster center as feature amount data of a search key shape.

  • Publication number: 20200401737
    Abstract: A plurality of 3D CAD data which has been commercialized in the past and released is extracted according to a design rule. A main feature amount is measured for each of the plurality of 3D CAD data extracted. A related feature amount defined according to the main feature amount is acquired or measured for each of the plurality of 3D CAD data extracted. A statistical value based on the main feature amount and the related feature amount is calculated. The statistical value is visualized in order to identify an allowable range of the main feature amounts or related feature amounts that are highly related to the main feature amount.

  • Publication number: 20200334399
    Abstract: A design support system for verifying 3D-CAD data includes a common module database storing a plurality of common modules for processing the 3D-CAD data, a rule file database which stores a plurality of rule files for defining a procedure for obtaining a verification feature amount from the 3D-CAD data, and violation information based on the verification feature amount using the common module, and a design support apparatus. The design support apparatus calls a common module according to the procedure defined in the rule file and executes the common module on the 3D-CAD data, and determines whether the design requirement is violated on the basis of the violation information defined in the rule file and the verification feature amount obtained according to the procedure.

  • Patent number: 10555442
    Abstract: An inside of a housing of a power conversion device is partitioned by partitioning walls, and the power conversion device is configured from: an open part, into which external air flows; a first airtight part that is adjacent to the open part and into which no external air flows; and a second airtight part that is adjacent to the first airtight part and into which external air does not flow. At least two ventilation holes are formed in a partition wall between the first airtight part and the second airtight part. A circulation fan is provided to at least one of the at least two ventilation holes. The outer surface of the first airtight part is provided with a heatsink that dissipates heat transferred from an electronic component placed in the first airtight part, the heatsink being exposed to the open part.
