Abstract: The present disclosure describes semiconductor packages and, more particularly, chip-embedded semiconductor packages. The packages include core panels with apertures extending through the core panel. Semiconductor chips are embedded within chip apertures. A molding compound can be positioned along one side of the core panel. In some examples, the semiconductor chips are embedded within the molding compound. In other examples, the semiconductor chips are adhered to the molding compound. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values of the core panels described herein can be tailored to decrease warpage of the package as the semiconductor chip heats during use.

Abstract: Provided is a reinforcing material having high interfacial adhesion with a matrix resin. The reinforcing material containing a covering layer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reinforcing material that imparts strength to a matrix resin by being combined with the matrix resin, and a covering layer formed on a surface of the reinforcing material, in which the covering layer is formed of a vaporized material generated by heating the resin.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus comprises processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to acquire a first image in which each pixel is expressed with a first gradation. And the processing circuitry is configured to specify a partial region in the first image. And the processing circuitry is configured to convert, based on correspondence information that associates each level of the first gradation with a display pattern of a plurality of pixels in a display, the level in the first gradation of each pixel included in the partial region in the first image into the corresponding display pattern, the display displaying the display pattern with a second gradation having fewer levels than the first gradation. And the processing circuitry is configured to generate a second image that expresses a plurality of pixels included in the partial region of the first image as the converted display patterns.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the X-ray image diagnosis apparatus comprises an X-ray generator, an X-ray restriction unit, a first X-ray detector, a second X-ray detector, and a drive. The X-ray generator generates X-rays to be applied to a subject. The X-ray restriction unit is disposed between the subject and the X-ray generator to restrict X-rays outside an opening region which is formed using a metal plate. The first X-ray detector has a first detection region in which X-rays that pass through the subject are detected. The second X-ray detector has a second detection region which is smaller than the first detection region and which has a high spatial resolution. The drive moves the first and second X-ray detectors so that the second detection region includes an irradiation region of the subject formed by the opening region.

Abstract: Since a throttle hole for narrowing a scavenging passage is provided on a partition for closing the scavenging passage, the throttle hole of a desired size can be drilled at a desired location on the partition after preparing the scavenging cover having no throttle hole on the partition. Accordingly, the size and location of the throttle hole can be easily changed in conducting a test for finding the most appropriate size and location of the throttle hole, so that the most appropriate size and location of the throttle hole can be easily found.

Abstract: A method is provided for improving printing performance of a print job from a Graphics Device Interface (GDI) based Windows® application submitted to an XPSDrv printer driver which is utilized by a filter pipeline service, wherein a required conversion from an existing GDI/device driver interface (DDI) to an XML Paper Specification (XPS) performed by a GDI-to-XPS conversion unit is eliminated to reduce latency. The method includes replacing the GDI-to-XPS conversion unit with a printer graphics driver which converts DDI calls into raw spool data; and adding a dual head filter as a first filter to the filter pipeline service to handle the raw spool data generated from the printer graphics driver.

Abstract: Software of a simple configuration checks whether an original image to be corrected is an image picture, and an image correction process based upon a formed histogram of the original image is not performed for an image different from the image picture. An image processing condition is set in accordance with the formed histogram to perform the image correction process for the original image. An image processing method judges from a shape of the formed histogram whether the original image is an image picture, and does not perform not perform the image correction process for the original image if it is judged that the original image is not an image picture.

Abstract: An insulator is provided with an acceleration pump attachment on the lower side of an insulating section. An acceleration pump is attached to the acceleration pump attachment. A passage is provided on the lower side of the insulating section. A conduit is provided on a connecting surface which contacts an engine to intercommunicate between an insulator air passage and the passage. A connecting passage is provided on an upper portion of the acceleration pump to intercommunicate between the passage and a negative-pressure introducing chamber. Thus, the acceleration pump can be easily disposed in a space at the lower side of the insulator, which is conventionally a dead space. In addition, an outer pipe to intercommunicate between the insulator and the acceleration pump is not required, whereby space saving can be achieved and a structure of interconnection can be simplified.

Abstract: According to an image processing method for performing color processing in accordance with a plurality of image objects, image data representing the plurality of image objects is input. The relationship between the plurality of image objects is analyzed. The plurality of image objects are grouped based on the result of analysis. The same color processing condition is set for the plurality of image objects belonging to the same group. Thus, the same color processing condition is set for the plurality of image objects divided from a single original image, thereby obtaining a high-quality output image.
