Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of
producing a pattern-formed structure, comprising the
processes of: preparing a substrate for a pattern-formed
structure having a characteristic-modifiable layer
whose characteristic at a surface thereof can be modified
by the action of photocatalyst; preparing a
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate having a
photocatalyst-containing layer formed on a base material,
the photocatalyst-containing layer containing
photocatalyst; arranging the substrate for a
pattern-formed structure and the
photocatalyst-containing-layer side substrate such that
the characteristic-modifiable layer faces the
photocatalyst-containing layer with a clearance of no
larger than 200 µm therebetween; and irradiating energy
to the characteristic-modifiable layer from a
predetermined direction, and modifying characteristic
of a surface of the characteristic-modifiable layer,
thereby forming a pattern at the
characteristic-modifiable layer. According to this
method, a highly precise pattern can be formed without
necessity to carry out any post-treatment after exposure.
Further, there is no concern that the pattern-formed
structure itself deteriorates because the produced
pattern-formed structure is free of the photocatalyst.

Abstract: An improved approach to highlighting a graphical object in a graphical user interface is disclosed. A body of a highlighted graphical object may, upon selection or highlighting, be changed to a transparent color, and a graphical outline, or "halo," is added surrounding the original graphical object's body. The halo may be in the same color as the graphical object originally was, preserving any meaning attributed to the color of the graphical object and simplifying the user's ability to identify the selected object(s), as well as the ability to select the highlighted object for further processing. The highlighted graphical object may also be displayed with a bounding box to further identify the selected object(s). A moving version of the highlighted graphical object may be drawn during a moving process, in which the moving version has an appearance distinct from the original object.

Abstract: An omni-directional camera (a 360 degree camera) is proposed with an integrated microphone array. The primary application for such a camera is videoconferencing and meeting recording, and the device is designed to be placed on a meeting room table. The microphone array is in a planar configuration, and the microphones are located as close to the desktop as possible to eliminate sound reflections from the table. The camera is connected to the microphone array base with a thin cylindrical rod, which is acoustically invisible to the microphone array for the frequency range Ä50-4000Ü Hz. This provides a direct path from the person talking to all of the microphones in the array, and can therefore be used for sound source localization (determining the location of the talker) and beam-forming (improving the sound quality of the talker by filtering only sound from a particular direction). The camera array is elevated from the table to provide a near frontal viewpoint of the meeting participants. <IMAGE>
