Abstract: There is provided an image processing device and method capable of suppressing an increase in the amount of coding. A spraying attribute projection image, which is used for spraying for adding an attribute to a geometry in the reconstruction of 3D data in a three-dimensional space, is generated by projecting an attribute of 3D data representing an object in a three-dimensional shape onto a two-dimensional plane independently of the projection of the geometry of the 3D data onto the two-dimensional plane, and coding is performed on a frame image in which the spraying attribute projection image is disposed. The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, an image processing device, an electronic device, an image processing method, or a program or the like.

Abstract: The invention provides a longitudinal double-mode SAW filter that has a large reflection coefficient by the electrode conductors and having flat pass band characteristics. In the longitudinal double-mode SAW filter, nearly all of higher-order natural mode oscillation displacements A0, S1 and A1 are made present in the first and second interdigital transducer regions. An electrode finger phase weighting is formed to correspond to a BPSK sign where a phase sign changes into 0 or ? at a polarity-changing point on an electrode charge distribution function Q(x) that generates on the electrode due to natural modes of oscillation. A single pair of natural modes, which exist stationary in the direction X of propagation of the surface acoustic waves that are utilized, is selected. A symmetrical mode charge distribution (Q(x), ?Q(x)) and an obliquely symmetrical mode charge distribution (Q(x), Q(x)) are generated in order to correspond to the regions of IDT1 and IDT2.

Abstract: A transversally coupled double-mode SAW filter using a surface acoustic wave has two SAW resonators which have curtain-like electrodes and a pair of reflectors on both side thereof, respectively, and which are disposed in parallel on a piezoelectric flat plate in the propagation direction of the surface acoustic wave. The curtain-like electrodes of the SAW resonators have a first bus bar of electrically positive electrode which extends in the propagation direction of SAW and second and third bus bars of electrically negative electrode which extend in parallel on both sides of the first bus bar. The first bus bar has multiple electrode fingers of electrically positive electrode which face the second and third bus bars on both sides thereof and which extend in a direction perpendicular to the propagation direction of SAW so as to suitably have a space of &lgr;/2, &lgr; being the wavelength of the surface acoustic wave, and a width of &lgr;/4.

Abstract: A multi-longitudinal-mode-coupled resonator type SAW filter having flat passband characteristic is provided. In the multi-longitudinal-mode-coupled resonator type SAW filter, an energy trapped type SAW resonator is formed on a frequency upward type piezoelectric substrate, and an IDT is divided into three IDTs, a first IDT arranged to a transmitter side, a second IDT arranged to a receiver side, and a third IDT arranged between the first IDT and the second IDT to control the amplitude of the vibration displacement in two modes for forming a filter. A frequency potential is optimized by changing an electrode period length of each IDT. Resonance amplitude strengths in the two modes are thus equalized and passband transmission characteristics are thus flattened. A filter having a relatively wide bandwidth of 1000 to 1500 ppm is fabricated by using a substrate having a small electromechanical coupling factor, such as a quartz crystal substrate.

Abstract: A wiring construction body has one or more circuit conductors having specified patterns. These circuit patterns are made by forming groove sections in one or more of the circuit conductors which are made of highly conductive electric materials, i.e., copper, which are in a layer form. The wiring construction body is then formed by filling the groove sections in the circuit conductors with an insulating resin to integrate, or mechanically fix, the circuit patterns in the wiring construction body. In addition, the circuit patterns are formed in the wiring construction body so as to be exposed on at least two surfaces of the wiring construction body. The wiring construction body can also be used with a circuit board.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for inhibiting adsorption of container-derived contaminants on a powdery or solid drug which comprises establishing a lower alcohol vapor phase within a container made, at least in part, of rubber or a plastic material. The method inhibits adsorption of container-derived substances on a drug to preclude development of insoluble particulate matter owing to said adsorption in an aqueous solution prepared extemporaneously without causing loss of the drug and avoiding the toxic effect of decomposition or degradation of the drug, thus insuring a long-term trouble-free stable shelf-life of the drug.
