Abstract: An auto focus (AF) apparatus and method for a camera that improves the AF action by reducing the number of time and steps required of a conventional apparatus and method. An encoder initial value is detected by measuring an initial position of a lens unit by means of an encoder; matching the measured encoder initial value to an initial position value to which the lens unit is to move while performing the auto focus; performing the auto focus starting from the matched initial position value, and dividing a distance that the lens unit is to cover into sections corresponding to a preset number of steps; detecting an edge value which shows a brightness change for a contour of a subject for as many as the number of the preset steps. The AF is completed by moving the lens unit to a position corresponding to a maximum edge value selected from among the detected edge values.

Abstract: Above the sample (9) having magnetic domains, a distribution of magnetic force in a measurement plane (91) is obtained as a magnetic force image with use of a MFM, an auxiliary magnetic force image is obtained by performing measurement in a measurement plane (92) away from the measurement plane (91) by a minute distance d, and a difference between them is divided by the minute distance d to obtain a magnetic force gradient image. The magnetic force image and the auxiliary magnetic force image are Fourier transformed and substituted into a three-dimensional field obtaining equation derived from a general solution of the Laplace equation, and the three-dimensional field indicating the magnetic force is obtained with high accuracy. A state of the magnetic domains at the surface (93) of the sample (9) can be obtained with high accuracy by obtaining the three-dimensional field. The three-dimensional field obtaining method using the three-dimensional field obtaining equation can be used for various fields of magnetic, electric, temperature and gravity potential and so on satisfying the Laplace equation. The obtaining of the three-dimensional field can be extended to obtaining of an n-dimensional field having high-dimension.

Abstract: 2.1. L'invention concerne un concept de conception ou de reconception destiné à des dispositifs logiques séquentiels utilisant un autre type de registres. Elle concerne, en outre, un concept en arbre d'horloge adapté à ces registres. 2.2. Les registres spéciaux utilisent généralement un troisième verrou en plus des deux verrous maître et esclave. Ceci introduit la latence entre le dépassement et le réacheminement de bits d'informations, entre deux bords d'une ou deux horloges. Ces registres peuvent être synchronisés avec un désalignement extrême d'horloge. 2.3. Cette nouvelle approche modifie de manière avantageuse les marges de temps pour le réglage et le maintien entre les registres connectés de manière combinatoire. Le désalignement extrême réduit les courants de crête. Le concept permet également de réduire la dissipation de puissance. Des conceptions fondées sur une liste d'interconnexions existante peuvent rapidement être adaptées à la nouvelle technologie juste par changement des types de registre impliqués et par optimisation de l'arbre d'horloge.
