20140126034 | VARIABLE SHAPE MIRROR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - In the method of manufacturing a micro structure including a membrane in a first substrate, a movable portion, a movable comb electrode, a suppressing unit, a support portion, and a fixed comb electrode are formed, and the movable portion of the first substrate and a second substrate are bonded. Then, the bonded second substrate is processed to form a membrane such as a reflecting portion. The movable comb electrode is supported by the movable portion and extends in a direction parallel to the membrane surface. The suppressing unit suppresses displacement of the movable comb electrode and the movable portion in a direction other than a direction normal to the membrane surface. The fixed comb electrode is supported by the support portion and extends in the direction parallel to the membrane surface. The fixed comb electrode is alternately arranged with respect to the movable comb electrode with a gap therebetween. | 05-08-2014 |

20130163844 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD, NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM, AND IMAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM - An image processing apparatus includes an obtaining unit, a first extraction unit, a second extraction unit, a setting unit, a filter setting unit, a generating unit, and a determination unit. The obtaining unit obtains a captured image of a test piece including a target cell having a nucleus. The first extraction unit extracts pixels which are candidates for the nucleus from pixels included in the captured image. The second extraction unit extracts a connected-pixel group which is a candidate for the target cell. The setting unit sets rectangular regions in the captured image. The filter setting unit sets a filter including regions. When the filter is disposed in each of the rectangular regions, the generating unit generates an image feature value. The determination unit determines, on the basis of whether the image feature value satisfies a condition, whether the target cell is included in the rectangular region. | 06-27-2013 |
