Abstract: An RGB video signal is generated by illuminating an object with light from a first monitor and capturing an image of the object with a camera. The second monitor holds a profile representing the correspondence relationship between R, G, and B values generated by displaying an image including values of R, G, and B on a reference monitor and capturing an image of the displayed image with the camera and X, Y, and Z values which are measurements of tristimulus values of the displayed image in the XYZ color space. The second monitor converts the first R, G, and B values of the video signal to first X, Y, and Z values based on the profile, and converts the first X, Y, and Z values to second R, G, and B values appropriate for the second monitor to display an image of the object on a display unit.

Abstract: When a reduction in the transmission speed of the line preset as the TDM line transfer route is detected by a device-connecting line termination unit, a mapping request, to which information indicating the amount of TDM-line bandwidth overflowing from the line and a destination indicating the final line relaying device have been added, is generated by the mapping request processing unit, and transmitted via the other line to another device connected in a ring network in order to map the overflow amount of bandwidth added to the mapping request on each line sequentially from the other device to the line relaying device as the final transfer destination, thereby forming a TDM-line detour route.

Abstract: A method of analyzing factor responsible errors in a wafer pattern which enables detection of an error ascribable to a difference between mask patterns and an error ascribable to another reason while distinguishing between the errors. A mask pattern is formed by etching a first mask at a first position within an etching chamber. Another mask pattern is formed by etching a second mask at a second position within the etching chamber. A wafer pattern is formed by single shot of exposing radiation through use of the first mask, and another wafer pattern is formed by single shot of exposing radiation through use of the second mask. The size of the wafer pattern formed through use of the first mask and the size of the wafer pattern formed through use of the second mask are compared with each other, thereby detecting a dimensional difference ascribable to a difference between mask patterns and a dimensional difference ascribable to another reason while distinguishing between the dimensional differences.

A pair of insulative side members each of U-shaped cross section is fitted to the flanges of the bobbin in positions adjacent the outermost winding layer. A core structure has outer arms received in slots of the side members and an inner or center arm accommodated within the hollow center portion of the bobbin. A base is detachably connected to the bobbin and formed with plural vertical slots to firmly secure tubular lead wires therewithin to serve as terminal pins for connection to an associated circuit.

Abstract: A switching regulator is disclosed which is designed so that a negative feedback is applied to the base of a transistor constituting an oscillator adapted for chopping a DC voltage, only during a period of time which is required to effect pulse width control when the transistor is switched from conduction to non-conduction. A control circuit may also be provided which is arranged to compare the output of a current detecting circuit for detecting a current proportional to a current for driving a transformer with the output of an error voltage amplifier for amplifying an output resulting from comparison of a rectified version of the AC output of the transformer with a reference voltage. The foregoing control circuit is also arranged so that when the output of the current detecting circuit exceeds the output of the error amplifier, a trigger signal is imparted to cause the oscillator to be changed from the on state to the off state.
