Patent number: 8785851Abstract: In an interference electron microscope, a first electron biprism is disposed between an acceleration tube and an illumination-lens system, a mask is disposed between the acceleration tube and the first electron biprism, and the first electron biprism is arranged in a shadow that the mask forms. Current densities of first and second electron beams on a parabolic surface of an objective lens system where a sample is positioned are controlled by a control system by an optical action of the illumination-lens system, the mask is imaged on the parabolic surface of the objective lens system, and an electro-optical length between the first electron biprism and the parabolic surface of the objective lens where the sample is positioned is controlled without generating Fresnel fringes on a sample surface from the mask and the first electron biprism.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2013Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., RikenInventors: Toshiaki Tanigaki, Shinji Aizawa, Tsuyoshi Matsuda, Ken Harada, Yoshio Takahashi

Patent number: 8772715Abstract: An electron beam device includes a first electron biprism between an acceleration tube and irradiation lens systems, and an electron biprism in the image forming lens system. The first electron biprism splits the electron beam into first and second electron beams, radiated to differently positioned first and second regions on an objective plane of an objective lens system having a specimen perpendicular to an optical axis. The first and second electron beams are superposed on the observation plane by the electron biprism of the image forming lens system. The superposed region is observed or recorded. Optical action of the irradiation lens system controls each current density of the first and second electron beams on the objective plane having the specimen, and distance on electron optics between the first electron biprism and the objective plane of the objective lens system having the specimen.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2013Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignees: Hitachi, Ltd., RikenInventors: Toshiaki Tanigaki, Shinji Aizawa, Tsuyoshi Matsuda, Ken Harada, Yoshio Takahashi

Publication number: 20120056802Abstract: A behavior table storage unit stores correspondence between a predetermined action of an object and a condition for operation of an input device. A condition determination unit determines whether control information of the input device meets the condition for operation stored in the behavior table storage unit. An object control unit causes, when the condition for operation is determined to be met, the object to perform an action mapped to the condition for operation. The behavior table storage unit stores a condition for operation requiring that the input device be moved by a predetermined amount within a predetermined period of time, and the condition determination unit measures time elapsed since the start of movement of the input device and determines, when the input device is moved by the predetermined amount within the predetermined period of time, that the condition for operation is met.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2011Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: Takamitsu Iijima, Shinji Aizawa
