Patent number: 10991071Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a partial image generator configured to generate a partial image having a point-of-interest designated by a user, from a 360-degree image, a user interface (UI) unit configured to receive an indication of the point-of-interest via a UI screen for displaying the partial image, and a point-of-interest registering unit configured to register the point-of-interest, in response to a request from the user via the UI screen. The information processing apparatus also includes an interpolation line calculator configured to calculate an interpolation line for interpolating between a most recently registered point-of-interest and a current point-of-interest, and an interpolation line registering unit configured to register an interpolation line between the designated point-of-interest and a point-of-interest designated immediately prior to the designated point-of-interest.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Kazuhiro Ohba, Keitaro Shimizu, Hitomi Mizutani, Tomohiko Sasaki, Tetsuyuki Osaki, Mitsuhiko Hirose

Patent number: 10350712Abstract: A solder paste whereby metal does not flow out of a joint during a second or subsequent reflow heating stage. The solder paste exhibits high joint strength at room temperature and at high temperatures, excels in terms of temporal stability, exhibits minimal void formation, and can form highly cohesive joints. The solder paste comprises a powdered metal component and a flux component, the powdered metal component comprising: a powdered intermetallic compound that comprises copper and tin and has metal barrier layers covering the surfaces thereof and a solder powder including tin as a main component. Neither the powdered intermetallic compound nor the solder powder contains a copper-only phase, inhibiting the elution of copper ions into the flux.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2014Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: SENJU METAL INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventors: Motoki Koroki, Shunsaku Yoshikawa, Sakie Okada, Taro Itoyama, Hideyuki Komuro, Naoko Hirai, Keitaro Shimizu
