  • Publication number: 20250047992
    Abstract: A method for eliminating lens flare that eliminates lens flare is provided. The lens flare elimination method performs: a step for acquiring images by irradiating the coaxial episcopic illumination light with varying irradiation intensities and capturing images at each irradiation intensity while the object is not placed on the mounting table; a step for capturing an image of the object by irradiating the object placed on the mounting table with the coaxial episcopic illumination light at an arbitrary irradiation intensity; a step for estimating an image for correction, which is the image at the irradiation intensity irradiated when the measurement object is captured, based on the images acquired in the image acquiring step; and a step for generating a post-correction image in which the lens flare is eliminated from the image of the object by obtaining the difference between the image of the object and the image for correction.

  • Patent number: 12218185
    Abstract: To provide a thin film capacitor in which warpage is less likely to occur. A thin film capacitor includes: a metal foil having roughened upper and lower surfaces; a dielectric film covering the upper surface of the metal foil and having an opening through which the metal foil is partly exposed; a dielectric film covering the lower surface of the metal foil and made of a dielectric material having a thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the metal foil; a first electrode layer contacting the metal foil through the opening; and a second electrode layer contacting the first dielectric film without contacting the metal foil. The lower surface of the metal foil is thus covered with the dielectric film having a small thermal expansion coefficient, thereby making it possible to prevent the occurrence of warpage.

  • Publication number: 20250018760
    Abstract: A suspension control unit includes a slip state detection apparatus configured to detect a slip state of a wheel. The slip state detection apparatus includes a second slip ratio calculation portion, a slip ratio distribution calculation portion, and a third slip ratio calculation portion. The second slip ratio calculation portion determines a tire characteristic-considered slip ratio (a second slip ratio) according to a longitudinal acceleration of a vehicle detected by a longitudinal acceleration sensor (a longitudinal acceleration) and a tire characteristic (a slip ratio coefficient). The slip ratio distribution calculation portion calculates a percentage of a slip ratio of each wheel. The third slip ratio calculation portion determines a corrected slip ratio of each wheel (a third slip ratio) by correcting the tire characteristic-considered slip ratio (the second slip ratio) according to the percentage of the slip ratio of each wheel calculated according to a rotational velocity signal of each wheel.
