  • Publication number: 20220179063
    Abstract: A foreshortening calculating unit of an image processing device calculates the degree of foreshortening in an imaging range at the time of synthetic aperture radar imaging using a flying object on the basis of an orbit at the time of the synthetic aperture radar imaging and elevation data of the earth's surface. A polygon calculating unit calculates a polygon representing an actual outer boundary of the imaging range by calculating an outer boundary of an actual imaging range of the imaging range using the degree of foreshortening. An area determining unit determines, by using the polygon, which of two or more areas determined in an area imaged by the synthetic aperture radar the imaging range belongs to. An added value adding unit performs a process which is performed according to the determined area on an image of the imaging range on the basis of a determination result of the area to which the imaging range belongs from the area determining unit.

  • Patent number: 7735221
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multilayer wiring board is provided. A flat surface is formed on a surface of a multilayer wiring layer, and resistive material is deposited on the flat surface. The multilayer wiring board comprises a multilayer wiring layer on whose surface convexo-concave is formed, a dummy layer burying the convexo-concave, a resistance material layer made of an electrical resistance material deposited on the dummy layer and at an area going beyond the dummy layer, and a wire made of a conductive material deposited on the resistance material layer and ranging from the area going beyond the dummy layer to a part of the flat surface area of the dummy layer, wherein a resistive element is formed at an area of the resistance material layer that the wire does not reach.

  • Publication number: 20090015276
    Abstract: A method of producing a probe assembly which uses thermal energy of a laser light for bonding a plurality of connection pads provided on a probe board and a probe disposed on each connection pad. In the neighborhood of at least one of the connection pads on the probe board, a dummy connection pad with no probe adhered is formed in order to uniform the thermal energy by irradiation of each bonding portion of each connection pad and the corresponding probe.

  • Publication number: 20080315901
    Abstract: The present invention provides a multilayer wiring board in which resistive elements each of whose error from a desired value is smaller than in a conventional case are built, a method for manufacturing the same, and a probe apparatus utilizing the multilayer wiring board. The present invention is based on a basic concept of forming a flat surface on a surface of a multilayer wiring layer on which a resistive element material is to be deposited and depositing the resistive element material on the flat surface.

  • Patent number: 7184019
    Abstract: A display device such as an LCD having a back light is provided with at least one display setting data group including a message to be displayed and a control command for controlling the switching on and off of the back light. A parameter for selectively specifying a display setting data group is included in the display command. The back light for the LCD is switched on and off, controlled by the control command included in the display setting data group selectively specified by the parameter.

  • Patent number: 7080175
    Abstract: A network system is formed with a parent station and programmable controllers and a programmable display devices serving as child stations connected to a single general-purpose serial communication circuit. Whichever child station received the token from the parent station outputs a command. Data are exchanged between the programmable display device and any of the programmable controllers by command-response communication. Data are exchanged among the programmable controllers by data link operations.
