Abstract:
A two-dimensional code recognition processing method for recognizing a two-dimensional code made of a plurality of square cells arranged in accordance with predetermined layout rules. The method comprises the steps of: generating binary data from image information acquired externally in accordance with a predetermined threshold value; detecting a reference cell serving as a reference in recognizing the two-dimensional code based on the binary data generated in the binary data generating step; detecting corner cells each located in a predetermined search range with respect to the reference cell detected in the reference cell detecting step, on the basis of the binary data generated in the binary data generating step; and detecting code data assigned to the two-dimensional code existing inside an area of a code part enclosed by the reference cell and by the corner cells on the basis of the binary data generated in the binary data generating step.
Abstract:
An adapter is provided which can be used to adapt a television receiver for a variety of purposes by connecting the television receiver to a computer. A cartridge comprises a memory storing a program and data, and a high speed processor capable of generating a video signal and an audio signal in such signal formats that the television receiver receives the video and audio signals, and displays an image and outputs a sound corresponding to the signals. The cartridge is installed into the adapter to which the video signal and the audio signal are input from the high speed processor. The adapter outputs the video and audio signals as input from the high speed processor to the television receiver.

Abstract:
A multilayer semiconductor integrated circuit having a plurality of wiring layers in which at least the lines of a lower layer are extended on wiring channel regions arranged in a grid. Dummy pedestals are formed of the same conductive layer as that forming the lines of the lower layer and are arranged in the intersecting areas of the wiring channel regions where none of the lines of the lower layer is placed. A method of manufacturing such a semiconductor integrated circuit comprises steps of preparing dummy pedestal layout data for arranging the dummy pedestals in all the intersecting areas of the wiring channel regions and line layout data for forming the lines of the lower layer on predetermined wiring channels among all the wiring channel regions, and combining the dummy pedestal layout data and the line layout data by logical sum (OR).
Abstract:
An ultrasonic diagnosis device wherein a movable mechanism for supporting an operation panel is configured so that the degree of freedom in the position and attitude thereof is increased. Specifically, a movable section comprises the operation panel, a base, an arm mechanism, and a display unit. The movable mechanism has a lifting mechanism and a horizontal movement mechanism. The horizontal movement mechanism has a layered structure. The layered structure has, stacked from bottom to top, a left-right slide mechanism, a forward-backward slide mechanism, a rotation mechanism, and a rotation limitation mechanism. The rotation limitation mechanism changes a rotation range according to a sliding position in the forward-backward direction.
Abstract:
An organic EL panel includes a light-emitting part including one or a plurality of organic EL elements on a substrate and having a sealing structure sealing the light-emitting part. The organic EL element includes a light-emitting layer, an organic layer formed on a first electrode formed directly, or via another layer, on the substrate, and a second electrode formed on the organic layer. The organic EL panel includes a coating film formed on the substrate, directly at least on the second electrode, so as to coat the light-emitting part. The coating film is made of an amorphous organic material and has a thickness absorbing a surface irregularity of the contact object contacted by the surface of the coating film.
