Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide an inorganic-organic hybrid particle which has a structure where an organic material composed of two or more different components forms separate phases, wherein an inorganic material is included in the phase, and a method for producing the inorganic-organic hybrid particle. The above object is solved by an inorganic-organic hybrid particle which has a structure where an organic material composed of two or more different components forms separate phases, wherein one or more inorganic materials are included in at least one phase.
Abstract:
To provide an anisotropic conductive film which can respond to increasing pitch reduction of connection targets while maintaining connection reliability, and can be manufactured at a lower cost than conventional, and to provide a method of manufacturing the same. The anisotropic conductive film is provided with a porous film consisting of polymer, having numerous holes penetrating in a film thickness direction, the holes being in a honeycomb arrangement and having inner wall surfaces which curve outwards, a conductive material that fills the holes in the porous film, and an adhesive layer coated on both surfaces of the porous film. The porous film is formed by leaving a supporting substrate on which cast is a polymer solution where a polymer is dissolved in a hydrophobic, volatile organic solvent, under high humidity conditions.
Abstract:
A solution having a polymer dissolved in a hydrophobic organic solvent is cast on a substrate, said organic solvent is evaporated in a moist atmosphere to condense moisture contained in an atmosphere prevailing on a surface of said cast solution into micro-droplets, said micro-droplets are dispersed on the surface of said cast solution or in said cast solution into a close-packed structure, said micro-droplets, condensed and dispersed on the surface of said cast solution or in said cast solution, are evaporated to obtain a porous honeycomb structure with said droplets used as casts, and said porous honeycomb structure is at least bisected by peeling in a thickness direction, thereby obtaining honeycomb structures wherein micro-pillars or anisotropic micro-pillars are regularly formed and arranged by said bisection on the peeled sections. The resulting structure, because of having a unique microstructure on its surface, possesses unique surface properties as compared with a film-like structure free of any microstructure or a structure with irregular pillars. Such unique properties could produce striking advantages inclusive of prominent touch. The inventive micro-pillar structure is expected to have applications in limitless technical fields, making a great deal of contribution to developments in the industry.
Abstract:
Segments included in an image I are each classified as one of object (i.e., person) segments OS1 and OS2 and foreground segments FS1 and FS2. With respect to each of the foreground segments FS1 and FS2, an importance degree is calculated based on a composition of the image I and relations between the foreground segment of the image I and a foreground segment of an image other than the image I.
Abstract:
Provided is an image evaluation apparatus for evaluating each of a plurality of images, the images including objects that each belong to a cluster. The image evaluation apparatus calculates (i) a first value pertaining to an object appearing in an image (for instance, the first value indicates a frequency at which the object appears in the plurality of images) according to a cluster that the object belongs to and (ii) a second value pertaining to the object (for instance, the second value indicates an occupation degree of the object in the image) according to an appearance characteristic that the object exhibits in the image. The image evaluation apparatus further calculates, according to the first value and second value, an importance degree of the object and an importance degree of the image.
Abstract:
A template includes a frame a and a frame b, in each of which an image is to be inserted. An object introduction degree (OI) is associated with a frame set ab, which is a combination of the frames a and b. For a pair of images arranged with respect to the frame set ab, the object introduction degree (OI), which is associated with the frame set ab, is calculated according to a characteristic value of each of the images in the pair of images. The calculated object introduction degree is used as an evaluation value of an arrangement pattern in which the pair of images is arranged with respect to the frame set ab.
