20100015380 | Method And Apparatus For Pattern Transfer, And Annular Recording Medium - An apparatus for transferring a pattern of minute surface structures, using a pair of press members which are located opposingly for movements toward and away from each other. One press member is adapted to support thereon a mold having on a transfer surface a master pattern of minute structures to be transferred, while the other press member is adapted to support thereon an annular substrate plate having a curable resin layer coated thereon and to press the resin layer against the transfer surface of the mold to transfer said minute structures to the resin layer. The mod is provided with a circular center hole defining at least three small-diameter segments and three large-diameter segments alternately and at uniform angular intervals along an inner periphery of the mold. The annular substrate plate has an inside diameter exactly matching with the small-diameter segments at the inner periphery of the mold. A chuck mechanism is provided inside of the lower press member, the chuck mechanism having at least three chuck pawls located in uniformly spaced positions along inner periphery of the substrate plate. The chuck pawls are radially displaceable to take either an operative position or a receded position, and are adapted to grip the inner periphery of the substrate together the small-diameter segments of the center hole of the mold at the time of setting the substrate plate in alignment with the mold, and to grip the inner periphery of said substrate plate alone, at spaced positions from the large-diameter segments of the center hole of the mold, at the time of separating the substrate plate from said mold. | 01-21-2010 |
20100092684 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COATING RESIN - Method and apparatus for coating a surface of a work with a thin resin or plastic film suitable for use in imprinting a pattern by impressing a master pattern on a transfer surface of a mold on the coated resin film. A curable resin liquid is coated on a work by the use of an inkjet feed means having a plural number of inkjet nozzle holes in a row or rows on a nozzle assembly, in association with actuators to propel droplets of resin liquid from the respective inkjet nozzle holes in controlled timings while moving the inkjet feed means and the work relative to each other. | 04-15-2010 |
20100156006 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPRINTING ENERGY RAY-SETTING RESIN, AND DISCS AND SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES WITH IMPRINTED RESIN LAYER - Disclosed herein is a method for transferring a pattern of minute dents and projections to an energy ray-setting resin layer coated on a substrate plate by pressing a master pattern on a transfer mold, followed by irradiation of energy rays. The pattern transfer method comprises the steps of pressing a master pattern on a transfer mold against the resin layer under a predetermined imprinting pressure, irradiating the resin layer under the imprinting pressure with energy rays, interrupting the irradiation of energy rays and at the same time cancelling application of the imprinting pressure and holding the resin layer and the transfer mold in a non-pressed state to relieve the resin layer of internal stresses, and recommencing irradiation of the resin layer with energy rays to complete hardening of the resin layer which is held in contact with the transfer mold in a non-pressed state. | 06-24-2010 |
20110022755 | COMMUNICATION DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SCHEME DETERMINATION METHOD, AND PROGRAM - Provided is a communication device including a first communication unit that is capable of sending a polling-signal in a specific polling cycle and receiving a response-signal sent from a counterpart device in response to the polling-signal, based on a first scheme, a second communication unit that is capable of sending a polling-signal in a longer polling cycle than the first communication unit and receiving a response-signal sent from the counterpart device in response to the polling-signal, based on a second scheme, and a scheme determination unit that waits for reception of the response-signal by the second or the first communication unit for a specific period of time longer than the polling cycle of the second communication unit with a time of the response-signal being received by the first or the second communication unit as a reference, and determines a scheme usable by the counterpart device based on the reception result. | 01-27-2011 |
20110083107 | Electronic Device, Content Reproduction Method, and Program Therefor - An electronic device includes: a communication unit to connect to a different device on a network, the different device storing contents; an output unit to connect to a display apparatus; a control unit; an operation input unit; and a reproduction unit. The control unit searches for contents stored in the different device on the network, generates a list of thumbnail images indicating the searched contents, estimates an error rate when each of the contents is received and reproduced, and outputs the list to the display apparatus, the control unit changing a state of each of the thumbnail images in the list according to the estimated error rate. The operation input unit receives reproduction instruction operation with respect to the content indicated by each of the thumbnail images. The reproduction unit receives the content, which is subjected to the reproduction instruction operation, from the different device, and reproduce the content. | 04-07-2011 |
20130159400 | USER DEVICE, SERVER, AND OPERATING CONDITIONS SETTING SYSTEM - A user device including a communication interface that communicates with a server, a sensor unit that detects at least one of a state of a user and a state of the user device, and a controller that controls an operating condition of the user device by receiving information from the server based on a comparison between an output of the sensor unit and stored setting description data associating the operating condition with a predetermined output of the sensor unit. | 06-20-2013 |
20140070729 | ILLUMINATION APPARATUS AND STORAGE MEDIUM - There is provided an illumination apparatus including an illumination unit, a reception unit, and a control unit configured to control illumination of the illumination unit in accordance with a default illumination pattern. When the reception unit receives an illumination pattern, the control unit performs illumination control different from the illumination according to the default illumination pattern. | 03-13-2014 |
20140085470 | MOBILE OBJECT AND STORAGE MEDIUM - There is provided a mobile object including an imaging unit configured to capture a perimeter of the mobile object, a speaker configured to be capable of controlling directivity, a determination unit configured to determine whether the mobile object is in a driving mode, and a speaker control unit configured to control the speaker in the driving mode in a manner that predetermined audio is output toward a warning target that is recognized based on a captured image captured by the imaging unit, and to control the speaker in a non-driving mode in a manner that the predetermined audio is output in a non-directional way. | 03-27-2014 |
