In an image reproducing method capable of displaying annotations in virtual space constituted by a group of real panoramic images. If an object for which an annotation is to be displayed falls within the field of view at the position of the observer, the object is adopted as the display position of the annotation. If the object is not within the field of view, then the direction of forward travel of the observer is adopted as the annotation display position. If the object is in a state of transition, then the annotation display position is decided by interpolation.

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.

An LED lamp has a convex lens 3 which has an upper portion 5 and a lower portion 6. An upper curved surface 5A of the upper portion is different in shape from a lower curved surface 6A of the lower portion 6 so as to refract rays of light from an LED chip 2 more strongly than the lower curved surface 6A does. This avoids reflection of incident outside light toward a front and hence prevents misrecognition. An interface plane S1 between the upper and lower portions 5 and 6 of the convex lens 3 is located on an upper end face 2A to thereby prevent collection of outgoing light upon the interface plane S1 and generation of an irregular emission peak at the front.

An electric charged particle beam microscope measures a geometric distortion at an arbitrary magnification with high precision, and corrects the geometric distortion. A geometric distortion at a first magnification is measured as an absolute distortion based on a standard specimen having a cyclic structure. A microscopic structure specimen is photographed at a geometric distortion measured first magnification and at a geometric distortion unmeasured second magnification. The image at the first magnification is equally transformed to the second magnification to generate a scaled image. The geometric distortion at the second magnification is measured as a relative distortion based on the scaled image. The absolute distortion at the second magnification is obtained on the basis of the absolute distortion at the first magnification and the relative distortion at the second magnification. Subsequently, the second magnification is replaced with the first magnification, and the relative distortion measurement is repeated.
