  • Patent number: 7824930
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a substrate formed with a plurality of wiring patterns on a base, includes: a first inspection step of identifying a faulty wiring pattern having electric short circuit or disconnection by performing an electric inspection respectively for the plurality of wiring patterns; a second inspection step of examining a relative position of a defect on the base and at least one of a type and a size of the defect by an optical inspection; a matching step of matching a result of the first inspection step with a result of the second inspection step, and identifying a critical defect having electric short circuit or disconnection; and a third inspection step of examining a relative position in a pixel and an effective range of the critical defect by an optical inspection.

  • Patent number: 7115289
    Abstract: Fermented malt beverages with reinforced filling taste and fullness of mouthfeel are manufactured by addition of ?-glucosidase prior to a heat treatment in a wort production process in the course of manufacturing fermented malt beverages Production of acetic acid can be reduced by addition of ?-glucosidase in the fermentation process in the high gravity brewing of beer. Further, low-calorie beers are manufactured by the method in which ?-glucosidase is added in the fermentation process in brewing of beer and thereby real fermentation degree is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20010052907
    Abstract: An image merging apparatus extracts noise included in a background image, and adds the noise to a CG image, thereby producing the merged image of the CG image and the background image. It can solve a problem of a conventional image merging apparatus in that although it can suppress the Mach band taking place in an edge segment, it brings about a mismatched feeling between the CG image and the background image when combining the shaded CG image and background image because it lacks a device for combining them taking account of the color difference between the CG image and the background image, or of the noise included in the background image.

  • Patent number: 6126450
    Abstract: In a medical simulator system, a physical model such as a medical phantom is no longer required so as to execute a simulated medical treatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 3, 1999
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2000
    Assignee: Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki Kaisha
    Inventors: Nobuhiko Mukai, Masayuki Harada, Katsunobu Muroi
  • Patent number: 5309553
    Abstract: A straight line generator for line drawing in a discrete coordinate system utilizing the Bresenham algorithm. A first counter holds an X coordinate value and is capable of incrementing and decrementing the X coordinate value and a second counter holds a Y coordinate value and is capable of incrementing and decrementing the Y coordinate value. A region code which depends on the slope of the line within the range of 360 degrees is stored. An error term obtained from the Bresenham algirithm is also stored. Responsive to the region code and the error term, increments of the first and second counters are controlled. Positive and negative added parameters which vary the error are stored in registers. Either of the date in the register is selected in accordance with the sign of the error term so as to be added to the error term.
