  • Patent number: 8853616
    Abstract: There is provided a method of adjusting a transmission electron microscope to facilitate an adjustment for bringing a focal plane of an electron beam exiting a two-stage filter type monochromator into coincidence with an achromatic plane. The method starts with obtaining a transmission electron microscope image including interference fringes of the electron beam that are generated by an aperture located behind the monochromator. The focal plane of the beam exiting the monochromator is brought into coincidence with the achromatic plane by adjusting the intensity of an electrostatic lens, the intensities of the electric and magnetic fields produced by at least one of two energy filters, or astigmatism generated in the monochromator based on an intensity distribution of the interference fringes in the obtained transmission electron microscope image.

  • Patent number: 7024698
    Abstract: A processor means is connected with other individual means, and controls those individual means. Storage means stores data to be processed by the processor means and the resultant data after the process. An important data in the storage means is transmitted to other devices for evacuation by using a wireless communication means, when a situating condition of a portable information-processing device is judged abnormal (e.g., when being stolen) based on an output of a status detector means. The data in the storage means is deleted, when the transmission is completed or the transmission is interrupted. Protection of the data and the confidentiality are thus achieved even if the portable information-processing device is stolen, since the data can be evacuated, and the data is erased after completion of the data evacuation or if the data evacuation becomes not attainable.
