Methods and systems for maintaining high-availability in a computer network using intelligent failover are presented. In a network switch running an OSI model layer-2 or higher protocol on its external links, the protocol state information is monitored to determine failover status of the link to avoid identifying external link failures due to link flapping. One such protocol is the spanning tree protocol. Additionally, flexibility in failover is provided using configurable triggers to define external failure events. The triggers initiate a link drop of one or more internal links of the network switch in response to an external failure event. The link drops, in turn, initiate failover of an attached computing device to a redundant link through a network interface teaming/failover arrangement whereby the computing device switches to an alternative network interface accessing the network through a redundant path. Failover can be selective depending upon VLAN and trunking configurations.

A computer (15) captures the colored moving image of the golfer (11) who swings by gripping a golf club (12) having colored marks (M1 through M3) attached to a shaft (12a) thereof. The computer (15) converts the colored moving image into a plurality of still images; executes binarization for each pixel of a plurality of the still images by using a specific threshold of color information and recognizes pixels, of the still images, which satisfy the threshold as positions of the colored marks (M1 through M3) and extracts a movement of the shaft (12a) by using a movement vector amount of one of the colored marks (M1 through M3 ) or by using a vector angle between two of the colored marks (M1 through M3). In this manner, the computer (15) automatically extracts check-point images.

In an under water detection for detecting the phase difference of an echo by two reception beams according to a split beam method, the difference Δθ between the phase difference of an echo detected by first and second reception beams formed in some direction and the phase difference of the echo detected by first and second reception beams which is formed in a direction rotated from the former direction concerned by a predetermined angle is detected by a phase detector. A reliability judging unit judges whether the difference Δθ detected by the phase detector is within a predetermined range or not. If the difference Δθ is within the predetermined range, an echo is displayed on a display unit. If the difference Δθ is not within the predetermined range, the echo is displayed with a specific color tone or the echo is not displayed.

The object of the invention is to provide a defect inspection method, a defect inspection system, and a defect inspection program, in which the inspection time for the object to be inspected and identifiable as a linear or band-like one is so very short that the operation time and tact time can be cut down, and which prevents misidentification even when there is distortion or deformation in the object, thereby making precise defect inspection possible. In the defect inspection method, system and program, the luminance and the number of pixels in the widthwise direction of the image of the object to be inspected such as the edge portion of a semiconductor wafer, wherein the image is identifiable as a linear or band-like one, are summated up, and the object is determined as defective when the value of the summation is below a reference value.

The invention provides a charged particle beam apparatus capable of preventing image errors in a display image and capturing a clear display image. A display image displayed on a display unit has a rectangular shape having sides that are substantially parallel to coordinate axes of a rectangular coordinate system determined by wafer alignment. A charged particle beam is radiated onto an area including a display image in a direction that is not parallel to the coordinate axes of the reference rectangular coordinate system to scan the area. Then, among image information obtained by scanning, only information of a position within the display image is displayed on the image display unit. In this way, a clear display image without brightness variation is obtained.
