  • Patent number: 9705150
    Abstract: According to the method for manufacturing electrode sheets, in a first cutting step, an original sheet, including a belt-shaped metal foil and an electrode material coated thereon in a lengthwise direction to form a plurality of coated portions spaced at a predetermined gap, is cut at a location between the coated portions. In a pressing step, the original sheet strips having been cut in the first cutting step are pressed. In this case, the original sheet strips that are pressed by the rolling device are independent from each other. Therefore, the effect produced in rolling of the coated portions remains within each of the original sheet strips. In addition, distortions occurring in the original sheet strips can be prevented from affecting each other and the occurrence of wrinkles can be inhibited.

  • Publication number: 20150009286
    Abstract: There are provided an image processing device, image processing method, image processing program, image capture device, and image display device that prevent increase of computational complexity in image enlargement while mitigating degradation in image quality. An image input unit inputs a planar image signal containing signal values of pixels arranged on a plane and depth information including depth values corresponding to the pixels. An interpolation unit calculates a signal value for an interpolation coordinate between pixels on the plane by interpolating between the signal values of adjacent pixels which are present within a predetermined range from the interpolation coordinate. A weight decision unit determines a weighting factor for use in the interpolation based on the depth value of a reference pixel that is closest to the interpolation coordinate and the depth value of an adjacent pixel.
