  • Patent number: 9379306
    Abstract: A resin is provided so as to cover four side faces of a piezoelectric multilayer body integrally and thus is effectively prevented from peeling from the piezoelectric multilayer body, whereby high adhesion is attained between the piezoelectric multilayer body and the resin. At the same time, the resin covers dicing surfaces in the side faces of the piezoelectric multilayer body, thereby effectively restraining the piezoelectric body and the electrodes from producing particles.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image analysis device (24) includes a parameter value acquisition unit (24b), a color allocation unit (24c) and a time phase image generation unit (24d). The parameter value acquisition unit acquires a parameter value per pixel, on the basis of time variation of pixel values per pixel corresponding to the same region of an object in image data of a plurality of sequential DSA images. The color allocation unit generates a color map in which a (chromatic) color in accordance with the parameter value is allocated per pixel corresponding to the same region of the object. The time phase image generation unit generates color image data of time phase images respectively corresponding to a plurality of time phases, by reflecting information in accordance with pixel values of the DSA images to each pixel of the color map.
