Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a determination, first, second and third receiving, and first and second checking units, and a controller. When a determination result matches a first determination result, the first checking unit outputs a matching determination result as the final output. The second checking unit checks the first determination result against a second. The first and second determination results are respectively received by the first and second receiving units. When the first determination result matches the second, the second checking unit outputs the matching determination result as the final output. When the input information is received, the controller operates the determination, first receiving, and first checking units. When it is determined that the determination result does not match the first determination result, the controller operates selectively one of a unit set and the third receiving unit. The unit set is constituted by the second receiving and checking units.

Abstract: Sidewall spacers formed on sides of mandrels are separated by first gaps in a first region and separated by wider second gaps in a second region. The second gaps are filled while a capping layer caps the first gaps. The capping layer is etched thereby exposing mandrels in the first region, which are removed. An underlying layer is patterned using the sidewall spacers separated by first gaps to form word lines in the first region and using sidewall spacers with filled second gaps to form select lines in the second region.

Abstract: An image processing system includes a profile generating section, a designating section, a calculating section and a correcting section. The profile generating section generates a color conversion profile based on first colorimetric values obtained from a first color chart output from a target device and second colorimetric values obtained from a second color chart from an output device other than the target device. The calculating section calculates difference information between a first data value obtained by converting a designated color into a device-independent color space and a second data value obtained by converting the designated color using the color conversion profile into a second color and converting the second color using the device-independent color space. The correcting section corrects the first colorimetric values based on the difference information. The profile generating section generates the color conversion profile again based on the corrected first colorimetric values.
