Abstract: A design support system includes an information merging section, a connection information generating section and an inter-semiconductor chip and lead frame connection information integrating section. The information merging section captures semiconductor chip information and lead frame information, and generates semiconductor chip and lead frame merged information for each of semiconductor chips. The connection information generating section generates connection information between the semiconductor chips and lead frame from the semiconductor chip and lead frame merged information generated by the information merging section.

Abstract: Provided is a technology for increasing types of color separation in accordance with density gradients by refining the mode of setting gradients in the event of two-dimensional or three-dimensional color separation. A conventional color separation is conducted in a manner that dots indicating densities are defined in intersecting points of lines parallel to the X axis and the Y axis, respectively, in the case of two-dimensional color separation. In the case of three-dimensional color separation, dots indicating densities are defined in intersecting points of lines parallel to the XY axis, the YZ axis and the ZX axis, respectively. The present invention does not define the dots in the intersecting points of those parallel lines. Instead, the dots are configured to be shifted.

Abstract: The present invention aims at producing a biochip by an inkjet system without wasting a DNA solution.

Abstract: In conventional remote control systems, when a compact disk player is installed in a motor vehicle, an external wireless remote-control photoreception device, which is basically unnecessary for compact disk playback, must be provided in the limited internal space of the vehicle, thus the internal space is not effectively used. Further, in a case where the construction of conventional remote control system is applied to a video reproduction apparatus, a DVD reproduction apparatus and the like, as a video output apparatus to output a reproduced video image must be provided in the vehicle, the efficiency of use of the internal space must be further improved.

Abstract: A coating fluid for forming a phosphor screen is coated on an inside surface of a glass panel having a wall portion provided with a wall portion edge at an outside surface of the glass panel. Then, the coating fluid on the inside surface of the glass panel is dried after facing the inside surface of the glass panel downward and placing the wall portion edge onto a panel support stand in a manner that the panel is supported on the support stand primarily by the wall portion edge. Since the glass panel is placed on the support stand in a manner that only the edge portion contacts the support stand, the scattering of coating fluid during this placement can be prevented. As a result, a uniform phosphor layer can be formed on the inside surface of the panel without decreasing the productivity for making such a glass panel on which a phosphor layer is formed.

Abstract: After a photoresist (2) is used to fix a biological sample, in order to obtain a particular biological substance, for example, a certain cell or biopolymer, from the biological sample embedded in the photoresist (2), properties of the photoresist are changed by exposing the portion of the photoresist (2) that covers the biological substance to light L which has an appropriate wavelength. The biological substance embedded in the changed photoresist is collected.

Abstract: A scanning apparatus for scanning and reading a luminescent pattern of a sample in a flat-plate shape, having a placing member for placing the sample as an object for reading; a light condensing member for condensing light emitted from the luminescent pattern of the sample; a movement member for moving the light condensing member relative to the placing member; a light receiving member for dividing the light of the luminescent pattern of the sample condensed by the light condensing member into predetermined segments and receiving the light by scanning the light from the segments in a one-dimensional way; a photoelectrical conversion member for converting optical signals of the light received by the light receiving member into electrical signals; a control member for controlling a scan by the light receiving member in accordance with the electrical signals from the photoelectrical conversion member; and a data processing member for converting the electrical signals from the photoelectrical conversion member in

Abstract: A steel tire cord is composed of three to five strands twisted closely with minimum gaps between the strands. The steel tire cord is easy to handle in embedding the same in rubber to form a tire, free from corrosion and highly durable. A tire incorporates the steel tire cords which are bonded firmly to rubber in a belt layer. Tires thus fabricated are uniform in quality and highly durable. The steel tire cord is composed of three to five twisted strands arranged in a construction reducing the sectional area of spaces in the steel tire cord to a minimum. The core strands twist in helices around imaginary cylinders having axes aligned with the axis of the steel tire cord. The outside strands twist in helices around imaginary cylinders having axes aligned with the axis of the steel tire cord and having diameters greater than those of the imaginary cylinders around which the core strands twist. At least one of the strands among the component strands of the steel tire cord is crimped to form bends therein.
