Abstract: Provided are a device, method and storage medium, which, when a memory LSI defect analysis apparatus is used as a monitoring device to estimate reductions in yield, automatically interprets results, and calculates the period of distribution patterns and the mix rate of regular patterned defects. The total defect number of bits is found, and the factor f, is selected. The value of expected value functions, T(f), for the selected f is found, and if it is decided that regularly patterned defects are included, then regular pattern defect mix rate function MR(f) is calculated from number of bits, factor f, and the value of estimated value function T(f). If it is decided that it does not contain regularly patterned defects the regular patterned defect mix rate function MR(f) is assumed to be zero; and it is confirmed whether or not MR(f) has been found for every f.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device, method and storage medium, stored with software programs, which, when a memory LSI defect analysis apparatus is used as a monitoring device to estimate reductions in yield, can shorten the time needed for full manual interpretation of the obtained results, by automatically interpreting the analyzed results obtained, and calculating the period of distribution patterns and the mix rate of regular patterned defects. First in defect number calculation process 71, the total defect number of bits is found; and in factor selection process 61, the factor f is then selected.

Abstract: The invention provides a camera calibration apparatus which eliminates the necessity to effect mapping making a distinction among a plurality of characteristic points and can prevent complication in mapping processing even if the number of characteristic points increases. An object imaging section images a sphere whose magnitude and position in a three-dimensional coordinate system are known, and a magnitude/position detection section determines a magnitude and a position of the sphere on a screen from an image imaged by the object imaging section.

Abstract: To analyze faults occurring in a semiconductor device, an expectation function is derived from bitmap data produced by a tester which is for the semiconductor device. The expectation function represents a distribution of the fault bits and has factors including a predetermined factor. On the basis of the expectation function, it is judged whether or not the distribution of the fault bits has a regular profile. If the distribution of fault bits has a regular profile, by the use of the predetermined factor, a period of the regular profile is automatically provided as an additional parameter to interpret the regular profile and to identify what causes the faults.

Abstract: A VTR is responsive to designation of an index scan mode for detecting an index signal recorded on a control track of a tape with the tape being traveled at high speed. During high-speed traveling, a video signal received by a contained tuner is outputted and applied to a monitor receiver. Every time the index signal is detected, the starting portion of each recorded program is reproduced in a normal reproducing mode during a short time period and time-base compressed, to be combined with the above described received video signal. The combined video signal for picture-in-picture display is applied to the monitor receiver externally provided, so that a received video signal is displayed on a main screen while a reproduced video signal is displayed on a subscreen. When a short time period elapsed, PIP control is cancelled, so that a high-speed traveling mode is established until the next index signal is detected.
