PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a phase locked loop(PLL) circuit with high precision and high reliability. SOLUTION: A phase comparator 5 generates a lead phase error signal E1 depending on a phase difference between a front edge (object phase point) of a right window produced by a right window signal WR and a reference phase point of a frequency division reference clock signal S2 when a control object clock signal S3 is led from the frequency division reference clock signal S2, and the phase comparator 5 generates a lag phase error signal E1 depending on a phase difference between a tail edge (object phase point) of a left window produced by a left window signal WL and a reference phase point of the frequency division reference clock signal S2 when a control object clock signal S3 is lagged from the frequency division reference clock signal S2.
Abstract:
PURPOSE:To make it possible to perform an effective chroma drop-out compensation by a simple constitution for a LDP, etc., for which a CCD.TBC system is used. CONSTITUTION:A delay video signal before one horizontal period from a regenerative FM signal (video signal) is outputted from a CCD 12. A TBC error signal showing the difference between a horizontal synchronizing signal contained in the video signal and a reference horizontal synchronizing signal to be supplied is outputted in a TBC error detector 16. A speed error signal showing the difference of one horizontal period of the video signal between one horizontal period of the reference horizontal synchronizing signal from this TBC error signal is outputted from a differentiator 24. A chroma drop-out compensation is performed by controlling the phase of a delay video signal by this speed error signal in a phase converter 27, by synchronizing the delay video signal with the video signal, by supplying a phase compensation delay video signal to a switch circuit 5 and by replacing the video signal with the delay video signal before one horizontal period in this switch circuit 5 at the time of drop- out.

Abstract:
PURPOSE:To form openings in an object to be etched which are narrower by the width of the layers of a predetermined substance by forming a layer of a predetermined substance on the inner wall of the openings of a film which has openings on an object to be etched, and with the layers of a predetermined substance as a mask, anisotropically etching the object to be etched. CONSTITUTION:Resist 8 having openings 8a, 8b is formed on, e.g., an SiO2 film 7, and SiO2 films 9a, 9b are formed on the inner wall of the openings 8a, 8b. Then,with the SiO2 films 9a, 9b as a mask the SiO2 film 7 is anisotropically etched, thereby forming openings 7a, 7b. With this, the openings 7a, 7b can be formed which are narrower in width than the width of the openings 8a, 8b of the photo resist 8 by a length corresponding to two times of the width of the SiO2 films 9a, 9b formed on the inner walls of the openings 8a, 8b of the resist 8, and fine processing is thus possible.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus which records a moving picture and a still picture at the same time while suppressing degrading of the image quality and increase in the power consumption. SOLUTION: When video recording processing is started, thinning is applied only to the moving picture at its imaging and no thinning is applied to the still picture at its imaging as shown in Fig.9B in pixel reading of the imaging element. A thinning section applies thinning to the still picture at its imaging as shown in Fig.9C. Then the imaging of the moving picture is continued until the video recording processing is finished without interruption as a result as shown in Fig.9D, and imaging of the still picture is carried out only for still picture imaging as shown in Fig.9E. The present invention can be applied to a digital video camera. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for applying a film forming material to a substrate, by which the whole surface of the substrate such as a wafer can be coated uniformly with a small amount of the film forming material, to provide an apparatus for forming a coating film on the substrate and a program for applying the film forming material and to reduce the cost of materials. SOLUTION: This method for applying the film forming material to the substrate comprises the steps of: dropping a pre-wetting material onto the substrate; rotating the substrate horizontally so that the dropped pre-wetting material is applied to the whole surface of the substrate; dropping the pre-wetting material again onto the pre-wetting material-applied substrate; dropping the film forming material in the again dropped pre-wetting material; keeping a film forming material-dropped state for a predetermined time; and rotating the substrate horizontally so that the dropped film forming material is applied to the whole surface of the substrate.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To correct shading without enlarging a circuit scale or a program scale even if one of the zoom position of an imaging lens, the focus position, the image height, the amount of aperture, the projection pupil position, and the amount of storobe light emission, lies between both ends. SOLUTION: For each pixel read from an imaging device 2, a horizontal counter value and a vertical counter value, corresponding to the pixel are supplied from a signal generator 11 to a distance computation section 23 via an optical-axis-center coordinate setting section 21 and a vertical and horizontal distance weighting section 22. In the distance computation section, the distance to an optical-axis-center position is computed, and the correction coefficients for a zoom wide end and for a zoom tele end, which correspond to the distance, are obtained by look-up tables 24, 25. The two obtained correction coefficients are blended at a mixture ratio, which is determined by a blend ratio setting section 26, by a gain blend processing section 27. The blended shading correction coefficients are gain adjusted by a gain adjustment section 28, after which they are supplied to a correction section 29. As a result, a correction corresponding to the distance to the optical-axis-center position is performed on the signal of each pixel to be supplied from an imaging section 3. The present invention is applied to a digital still camera. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize automatic exposure adjustment control that is unaffected by smears by accurately calculating the amount of the smears even if a weak smear phenomenon that does not reach a saturation level occurs without performing countermeasures against a change in dark current of a vertical OP (operational amplifier), the behavior of dark noise and defective pixels of the vertical OP in an image pickup device control system of an electronic shutter/lens diaphragm/automatic gain control. SOLUTION: When a smear is detected, a first electronic shutter speed and a first lens diaphragm value are measured, a first color information integrated value of each of red, green and blue is measured in a prescribed colorimetric area of an effective pixel region of an imaging means, and the electronic shutter speed is accelerated by prescribed quantity so as to make an exposure value equal to that of the first electronic shutter speed and the first lens diaphragm value. The lens diaphragm is opened as much as the prescribed quantity, second color information integrated values of red, green and blue are measured in the colorimetric area, and the amount of the smear is calculated from the red, green and blue color information integrated values.
