Provided is an evacuation route provision system with which it is possible to search for an evacuation route with consideration given to the circumstances of disaster-stricken areas and disaster victims, even in case of a communication failure between a server and a mobile terminal device. On the basis of current location information (Gda) etc. transmitted from various mobile terminal devices (20), a server (10) acquires geographic statistical information (Sda) and executes disaster simulation. Information obtained by the server (10) is transmitted, at normal times, to each mobile terminal device (20) as significant information (Mda). The significant information (Mda) is stored in a significant information storage means (250). The mobile terminal device (20) is provided with a disaster information input means for a user to input his/her status or circumstances surrounding the user at the time of occurrence of a disaster. When a disaster occurs, an evacuation route search means (260) searches for the optimum evacuation site and evacuation route for the user on the basis of the current location information (Gda), the significant information (Mda), and information input through the disaster information input means.
A print decode processing result is obtained by a decode processing unit (31) from a barcode print region which is photographed by an examination unit (17), and a data decode processing result is obtained by the decode processing unit (31) from print data which is obtained by a print data unit (29). A barcode region quality determination unit (33) determines the quality of a print with respect to the barcode print region on the basis of a comparison of the result of the print decode processing with the result of the data decode processing. Because the determination of the quality of the print is carried out by the comparison of the results of the respective decodes of the result of the print and the data thereof, an error determination is not carried out if the barcode is not printed in variable printing. It is thus possible to improve examination precision even in variable printing.
A computer (1) determines, on the basis of a run length number in a case where image data are to be run-length encoded, a number of bits constituting the notation part in a run length notation variable header. The notation part of the run length number notation variable header has been made variable, so that when the run length number is small, the notation part is shortened and when the run length number is large, the notation part is expanded. The data to be processed are stored on the basis of a storage system using the run length number notation variable header. The length of sequence numbers of the data following the notation part of the run length number can be suppressed, so that a high compression rate can be achieved. Moreover, the run length number that can be described in the notation part can be enlarged and the number of headers can be suppressed, so that a high compression rate can be achieved.

This cleaning jig is fitted to a spin chuck in the place of a normal substrate. The cleaning jig is provided with: a flat base surface; and an inclined surface which is provided to the entire peripheral edge part of the base surface, and which inclines upwards from the centre of the base surface towards the outer periphery of the base surface. While the cleaning jig rotates, a cleaning solution is supplied from a discharge head to the vicinity of the centre of the base surface. The cleaning solution flows from the centre of the cleaning jig to the outer periphery thereof as a result of centrifugal force, and is scattered obliquely upwards from the inclined surface. The base surface and the inclined surface form a continuous surface along the entire peripheral edge part of the base surface, and thus the cleaning solution supplied to the base surface is smoothly guided to the inclined surface, and can be scattered obliquely upwards while inhibiting the unintended splashing of the cleaning solution.
According to this data compression method, when high-order bits among data are identical and continue so as to be equal to or greater than a prescribed number, and when low-order bits among the data are identical and continue so as to be equal to or greater than a prescribed number, the high-order bits that are common among the data are extracted, the run-length number of the high-order bits is enumerated, and the run-length of the low-order bits in the data is compressed to the same data of half run-length. Therefore, because the run-length of data that shares the high-order bits is compressed for each low-order bit even when the data is not identical, compression efficiency is improved even for data having low continuity of identical data.

INKJET PRINTING DEVICE AND FLUSHING METHOD THEREFOR
This inkjet printing device selects an image formation ink droplet discharge waveform (25) during image formation by a print head (19) and selects a flushing ink droplet discharge waveform (27) during flushing by the print head (19). Since the flushing is performed using a flushing ink droplet discharge waveform (27) that differs from the image formation ink droplet discharge waveform (25), flushing can be performed efficiently. As a result, paper loss and reduced print quality can be limited while manifesting satisfactory flushing effects.

When performing a transport operation for transporting a part to be transported (P(n)), on the basis of obstacle arrangement information (Io) indicating the arrangement of the parts (P) that are obstacles, a simulation is performed of operations of the hand (25) for implementing the transport operations on the multiple parts (P) in order while avoiding collisions with the obstacles, and a transport trajectory of the hand (25) is outputted (trajectory simulation). Trajectory simulation is performed while updating the obstacle arrangement information (Io) in response to changes in the arrangement of the parts (P) arising due to the transport operations. Therefore, while the arrangement state of the obstacles is changing, it is possible to appropriately calculate a path of the hand (25) transporting the parts (P) while avoiding collisions with obstacles.

This data compression device performs run-length encoding on a plurality of identical data as a run of completely identical data, when a run of identical data meets or exceeds a prescribed number. Each datum is split into high-order and low-order when there is not a run of identical data meeting or exceeding the prescribed number. When there is a run of high-order data having the same value and meeting or exceeding the prescribed number, run-length encoding is performed on the high-order for each datum as a run of half-identical data, and the low-order for each datum is enumerated. When there is a run of identical data meeting or exceeding the prescribed number, the present invention makes it possible to improve compression efficiency, because the data are compressed by performing a first encoding as completely identical data. The present invention compresses using a second encoding as a half-identical run, when there is a run of high-order identical data meeting or exceeding the prescribed number after splitting the data when there is not a run of identical data meeting or exceeding the prescribed number. Consequently, it is possible to improve compression efficiency even with data having fewer runs of identical data.
The uniformity of the illumination distribution of irradiation light (Re) on a substrate (S) may be improved for a pattern drawing device (1) wherein light incident on a spatial modulator (80) through a rod integrator (70) is modulated by a spatial light modulator (80) and irradiated onto the substrate (S). Provided is a light source array (60) having a plurality of light-emitting elements (601) which emits light with the brightness in accordance with the magnitude of a driving current (Id). The rod integrator (70) equalizes the illumination distribution for the light entering from the light source array (60). Also provided is an irradiation control unit (130) which individually controls the magnitude of the driving signal (Id) for each light-emitting element (601). Therefore, by individually controlling the brightness of the light-emitting element (601) the illumination distribution of the light incident on the subsequent rod integrator (70) can be suitably adjusted. As a result, it is possible to improve the uniformity of the illumination distribution of the irradiation light on an irradiation region (Re) using an optical head (6).

The evaluation sample manufacturing device includes: a substrate holding means for holding the substrate; an application means for applying, to the surface of the substrate held by the substrate holding means, a contaminant liquid containing a contaminant; a movement means for moving the application means and the substrate held by the substrate holding means relative to each other; and a control device for controlling the movement means on the basis of definition information defining the position on the substrate surface to which the contaminant liquid is to be applied, and causing the application means to selectively apply the contaminant liquid to the position on the substrate surface defined by the definition information.
In an inkjet printing device (1), a heater (37) is enclosed in a heater casing (41) and can therefore store up and efficiently heat air. A blowing fan (39) blows air to the heater (37). The heater casing (41) has a blow port (41b) oriented toward a convey route (35) on the outer side of the heater casing (41), the blow port constricting and blowing warm air heated by the heater (37) in a direction along the convey route (35). Because the warm air is constricted by the blow port (41b), the blow rate of the warm air can be increased. The air amount distribution and the heat amount can also be made uniform. The heater (37) is provided facing the convey route (35). Heat loss can be minimized because the distance to the convey route (35) is comparatively less than in a conventional external heater.

When a malfunction occurs in any one of the first - third power supply circuits (29, 31, 33), a switch (27) switches electrical connections so that drive voltage can be supplied to the inkjet head connected to the malfunctioning power supply circuit from a normal circuit among the first - third power supply circuits (29, 31, 33). Consequently, since portions of the power supply circuits can be held in common by multiple inkjet heads (IH1-IH3), the device does not have to be stopped in order to replace the power supply circuit even when a malfunction occurs in one of the power supply circuits. As a result, reduction in the throughput of the device can be prevented.

PRINTED IMAGE INSPECTION DEVICE AND PRINTED IMAGE INSPECTION METHOD
A mask creation unit (37) creates a show-through region mask on the basis of back surface printing image data (BPD) and inverted front surface printing image data comprising front surface printing image data (FPD) inverted in the horizontal direction. When inspecting back surface inspection image data (BID), a determination unit (39) performs inspections with a show-through inspection threshold value BSL in a show-through region corresponding to the show-through region mask. Consequently, in regions where there is a high probability that show-through occurs, an inspection is performed with a looser show-through inspection threshold value BSL, and thus errors in determination due to show-through can be avoided. Further, in regions where there is a high probability that show-through does not occur, the inspection is performed with a stricter normal inspection threshold value NSL, enabling printing mistakes to be determined accurately. As a result, printing inspections can be accurately performed even in continuous paper (WP) where show-through occurs.

SUBSTRATE TREATMENT APPARATUS, LIQUID SUPPLY DEVICE USED THEREIN, AND SUBSTRATE TREATMENT METHOD
This substrate treatment apparatus has a configuration in which a control unit (21) operates a transfer unit (9) to apply a treatment liquid to a substrate (W) from a cassette stage (3) in an application unit (15) and cause a contamination substance to adhere to the substrate (W) in a heat treatment unit (19). Since the treatment liquid containing the contamination substance is applied to the substrate (W) to cause the contamination substance to adhere thereto, the substrate (W) for evaluation, on which contamination in a wet process is reproduced, can be manufactured. Moreover, since the substrate (W) is subjected to heat treatment in the heat treatment unit (19) after the treatment liquid is applied thereto, the substrate (W) for evaluation, which has undergone baking treatment, can be manufactured.
This substrate processing device (1) has a processing tank (3), a cover (5), and a raising/lowering unit. The processing tank, which stores a processing liquid, has a top opening (30). The cover comprises a pair of rolls (51, 52) around which both ends of a sheet-form continuous member (50) are wound. The center portion (501), being the part of the continuous member between the pair of rolls, is arranged near the top opening and in parallel to the opening plane of the top opening, and by rotating the rolls, the center portion moves along the opening plane. A passage hole (502) which is an opening is formed in the continuous member. The raising/lowering unit raises and lowers the substrate (9) between a processing position inside the processing tank and a retracted position outside of the processing tank. When raising and lowering the substrate between the processing position and the retracted position, the passage hole is positioned directly above the top opening. Further, when processing the substrate inside the processing tank, the passage hole is positioned in a position not directly above the top opening and the top opening is closed by the continuous member. Thus, the substrate processing device can be miniaturized by means of a space-saving cover.
Provided is an image display device or an image display method, said device or method having a display function that, in a technology that displays an image imaging a cavity in a specimen holding plate, enables a user to observe/compare the image from various viewpoints. Areas are extracted from an overall image that images the entirety of a microplate, each of said areas corresponding to each of multiple wells. For the image of each well, an image process is performed and a component image is created. Said image process is a process such as coloring or outline highlighting, and is based on a classification result resulting from a classification reference specified by the user. An image for display is created and displayed, said image for display arranging the component images in an arrangement that conforms to an arrangement sequence in the microplate. By arranging and displaying results classified by different classification references, comparative observation from different viewpoints is facilitated.

A light-emission output of a flash lamp for performing a light-irradiation heat treatment on a substrate in which impurities are implanted is increased up to a target value L1 over a period of time from 1 to 100 milliseconds, is kept for 5 to 100 milliseconds within a fluctuation range of plus or minus 30% from the target value L1, and is then attenuated from the target value L1 to zero over a period of time from 1 to 100 milliseconds. That is, compared with conventional flash lamp annealing, the light-emission output of the flash lamp is increased more gradually, is kept to be constant for a certain period of time, and is then decreased more gradually. As a result, a total heat amount of a surface of the substrate increases compared with the conventional case, but a surface temperature thereof rises more gradually and then drops more gradually compared with the conventional case.

The purpose of the present invention is to irradiate a substrate with flash light and heat the substrate to the required temperature while preventing cracking of the substrate. An impurity-injected substrate is heated to a preliminary heating temperature. Then, the surface of the substrate is irradiated with flash light and heated to a target temperature. Flash light irradiation is continued and the surface temperature is held for a predetermined time near the target temperature. The time of flash light irradiation in the flash heating step is set so as to be longer than the heat conduction time required for heat to be conducted from the obverse surface to the reverse surface of the substrate. While the flash light irradiation is taking place, the difference in temperature between the obverse surface and the reverse surface of the substrate is consistently no greater than half the increase in temperature from the preliminary heating temperature to the target temperature. It is therefore possible to moderate the concentration of stress due to the difference in thermal expansion between the obverse and reverse surfaces of the substrate, and to prevent cracking of the substrate.
A waste liquid collecting device of the present invention comprises a retention tank having a waste liquid retaining state and a waste liquid flowing-out state. Therefore, since the retention tank allows a waste liquid to flow out into a waste holdup tank if the waste holdup tank is mounted, but retains the waste liquid until the waste holdup tank is mounted again if the waste holdup tank is dismounted, it is possible to collect the waste liquid even while the waste holdup tank is being dismounted.
Print data is generated by a print data generator (25) on the basis of a high-resolution raster image generated by a high-resolution rasterization unit (23).

METHOD FOR CALIBRATING INK-JET HEAD UNIT AND METHOD FOR INK-JET COATING
Disclosed is a method for calibrating an ink-jet head unit enabling effective prevention of variation attributed to spacer particles. The calibration method is characterized by executing an ejecting step of ejecting a spacer particle dispersion liquid under different ejection condition from a large number of ejection orifices for the spacer particle dispersion liquid, an image data acquiring step of acquiring image data relating to the ejected spacer particle dispersion liquid, an area-measuring step of measuring the area of a liquid droplet of the spacer particle dispersion liquid, an ejected-state image capturing step of capturing an image of a liquid droplet of the ejected spacer particle dispersion liquid, an ejection speed measuring step of measuring the ejection speed of the spacer particle dispersion liquid, an ejection condition adjusting step of determining the voltage applied to a piezoelectric element, and an ejection timing adjusting step of adjusting the timing at which the spacer particle dispersion liquid is ejected.
Disclosed is an inkjet image recording device that is capable of recording images appropriately by causing ink to be set at a suitable exposure, even with different recording materials and under different image recording conditions. In such an inkjet image recording device, an exposure controller (28) controls the exposure by UV lamps (21, 22, 23, 24) based on recording material factors and image recording conditions factors. Namely, exposure by the UV lamps (21, 22, 23, 24) is determined according to factors such as the base material of the recording material itself, the thickness of the recording material, the quantity of ink discharged onto the recording medium during image recording, the rate of movement of the recording head in the scanning direction during image recording, and whether printing is in unidirectional printing mode, in which images are recorded only while the recording head is moving in one direction, or in bidirectional printing mode, in which images are recorded while the printing head is moving in both directions, during image recording.

In order use a short heating time to form a carbon nanotube on a conductor covering a portion of a substrate, a mesh-like conductive member (102) made of Mo or the like is disposed on a substrate (101) made of glass or the like; a catalyst carrier, such as Al2O3, and a catalyst, such as Fe or Co, are formed on the conductive member; and the substrate (101) is disposed in a carbon-source gas atmosphere and heated for only a short time by exposing the conductive member (102) to voltage or microwaves. As a result, a thin carbon nanotube (104) grows from the conductive member (102) through a catalyst carrier (503) and a catalyst (504). The carbon nanotube (104) functions as an emitter of a surface light-emitting device (11) and the conductive member (102) functions as a cathode.
A color correcting unit (43) applies a color correction, which is suited for a printed image formed by a printing device capable of drawing with dots of a plurality of sizes, to an original image (70), thereby acquiring a color-corrected image. A halftone processing unit (45) compares the images of individual color components of the color-corrected image and a plurality of threshold matrixes corresponding to the plural sizes of the dots, thereby producing a halftone image. When a printed matter is produced, the input of the upper-limit density in the individual color components of the printed image is accepted. A threshold matrix producing unit (44) determines the maximum of the density that can be expressed in the images of the individual color components of the halftone image, in accordance with an upper limit density, so that the plural threshold matrixes to be used in the halftone processing unit (45) are produced in conformity with that maximum. Thus, the (easy) color matching of the printed image by changing the upper limit densities of the individual color components can be easily realized, even if a color shift occurs in the printing device.

A printer performs printing based on print data where a register mark (805) indicating the range of an inspection object region (801) in the conveyance direction is added to an original image, and inspection of print in the inspection object region (801) is performed by acquiring an inspection image (84), including the inspection object region (801), from an image of print result based on the register mark (805). Since the entire image of print result is not compared with the original image but only the inspection image (84), i.e. a part of the image of print result, is compared with the original image, inspection of print in the inspection object region (801) can be performed quickly. Furthermore, since the inspection image (84) is acquired based on the register mark (805) indicating the range of the inspection object region (801) in the conveyance direction, the whole inspection object region (801) can be included in the inspection image (84) with high precision even if a print medium expands or contracts, and inspection of print in the inspection object region (801) can be performed with high precision.
