Abstract: A method of setting inspection areas capable of reducing pattern inspection time of integrated circuit patterns by selecting areas where systematic defects are likely to occur. The method includes: extracting multiple pattern types from design data by grouping patterns contained in the design data in accordance with shape; selecting one type of pattern from the multiple pattern types; searching design data to identify patterns having same shape as the selected type of pattern; and registering positions of identified patterns as sampling points.

Abstract: A scheduler of an image processing apparatus allocates processing of control programs of the image processing apparatus to a plurality of cores when it is determined that a processor is mounted to a peripheral unit. The scheduler allocates a control program of the peripheral unit and a program related to a control program for the peripheral unit among the control programs of the image processing apparatus to at least one core among the plurality of cores and allocates remaining control programs among the control programs of the image processing apparatus to remaining cores among the plurality of cores when it is determined that a processor is not mounted to the peripheral unit.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes: a multi-core CPU having multiple cores; a selector that selects either a first mode or a second mode with respect to allocation of control tasks to the cores of the multi-core CPU; and an allocator that allocates control tasks to the cores of the multi-core CPU by the symmetric multiprocessing technology when the first mode is selected by the selector, and that allocates control tasks to the cores of the multi-core CPU by the asymmetric multiprocessing technology when the second mode is selected by the selector.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus having a second storage device such as an HDD mounted thereon, when it receives an input of a job, determines a necessity of an input processing of image data into the second storage device, a necessity of an output processing of image data from the secondary storage device, and a timing of the input processing and the output processing in the job. Then, the image forming apparatus switches an output buffer, which is an area set in a primary storage of the image forming apparatus and is used for the output processing of image data from the secondary storage device, to a buffer for use in the input processing or to a buffer for use in the output processing in accordance with a result of the determination.

Abstract: A parallel scanning circuit outputs a parallel scanning signal for making forward and backward scanning lines parallel. A vertical correlation detection circuit detects a portion where the change in luminance in the vertical direction exceeds a predetermined value on the basis of a luminance signal, and outputs a movement control signal representing the distance of movement on the screen of the scanning line. A retrace period reversion circuit reverses the lime axis of the movement control signal in a retrace period. A clamping circuit clamps the movement control signal to a predetermined DC voltage at the timing of horizontal synchronizing signal. A synthesizing circuit synthesizes the parallel scanning signal and the movement control signal, and feeds a synthesized signal as a vertical velocity modulation signal to a vertical velocity modulation coil.
