Abstract:
A registration signal embedding method of embedding registration signals adaptively in accordance with image signals. The frequency property of image data is determined, and either a first registration signal or a second registration signal is selected in accordance with the frequency property, and is added to image data. The registration embedded in this way has the advantage of increased resistance and easy detection.
Abstract:
In an image sensing system where a camera apparatus and a client device are connected for controlling the camera apparatus by the client device, the client device displays and arbitrarily shifts a predetermined size of detection area in an object image sensed by the camera apparatus, enabling to quickly perform camera parameter control, such as focus adjustment or the like, based on image signals of the detection area, with a small amount of transferring data. Moreover, detection areas of a sensed image are synthesized by controlling camera parameters for each of the detection areas so as to optimize camera parameters for all of the areas in the object image.
Abstract:
In one aspect, an image processing apparatus inputs an input image signal and detecting whether or not there is a frame change in an image by comparing the input image signal with a reference image signal. A memory is used for updating the reference image signal by storing the input image signal as the reference image signal in units of frames when there is a frame change. In another aspect, the image processing apparatus extracts change components between images by comparing the input image signal with the reference image signal, the reference image signal being an earlier input signal when a most recent prior change component was extracted. The extracted change components are corrected by detecting and removing an erroneously extracted change component, and an image change is discriminated in the input image signal on the basis of the change components as corrected.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polishing method using a grindstone comprising abrasive grains and a bonding resin for bonding the abrasive grains, as well as to a polishing apparatus to be used for the polishing method. By using a resin for bonding abrasive grains, it is possible to obtain a grindstone having a desired modulus of elasticity. With such a grindstone, the surface of a substrate having concave and convex portions can be rendered uniformly flat, irrespective of the size of the concave and convex portions. Further, by first polishing the substrate surface with a polishing tool of a small elastic modulus and thereafter polishing it with a polishing tool of a large elastic modulus, it is possible to obtain a polished surface of reduced damage. The method of the invention is effective in planarizing various substrate surfaces having concave and convex portions.

Abstract:
Waste material containing combustible waste substances and incombustible waste substances along with carbonic massive combustibles are feed for passage in a furnace in the form of packed layers. Lower stage tuyeres feed burning support gas in the burning and melting zone of the furnace. Upper stage tuyeres feed burning support gas in the heat decomposing zone of the furnace. Total oxygen fed by the upper and lower tuyeres is 130 to 600 Nm3 per one ton of waste. The ratio of the quantity of oxygen fed from the upper stage tuyeres to the total quantity of oxygen fed from both the upper and lower stage tuyeres is 0.2 to 0.8. Oxygen fed from the lower stage tuyeres is at least 0.8 times the theoretical oxygen required for burning the carbonic massive combustibles.
Abstract:
An organic resin film 27 having an opening on an electrode pad is formed on a main surface of an IC chip 10, and a protruding electrode 12 formed on the electrode pad is formed of a low melting point eutectic solder. As a result, the protruding electrode 12 is formed without melting the organic resin film while preventing a crack from being generated by a stress applied between the electrode pad and the IC chip. Thus, the reliability of a semiconductor package can be enhanced.
Abstract:
There are provided image processing apparatus and method, in which an image signal expressed by a plurality of bits is continuously inputted every pixel, the input image signal is compared with a reference image signal, a change in image is detected, and when the change in image is not detected as a detection result, a quality improving process of the image signal is executed by using a plurality of image signals which are obtained for a period of time when the image change is not detected, and when the image change is detected as a detection result, the input image signal is outputted without performing the quality improving process, and when the image change is not detected as a detection result, the image signal which was subjected to the quality improving process is outputted.
Abstract:
A pressure control valve unit for a hydraulic brake device is provided which considerably reduces noise, vibration, and harshness, and is compact and inexpensive. The pressure control valve unit comprises a switching valve and a normally-open inlet valve sequentially located in the main brake line in a housing cavity between the master cylinder and the wheel cylinder(s). During a brake pressure control action, the difference in pressure acting on the master cylinder side and that on the wheel cylinder side causes the switching valve to switch to a constricted channel, thereby noticeably reducing the amount of noise vibration harshness.
Abstract:
One object of the present invention is to cut out areas of different natures from an image hierarchically. For encoding, an area identifier identifies areas of an input image. A multivalued area is encoded in a multivalued encoding mode. As for a bicolor area, typical-color values are computed and then encoded in a binary encoding mode. For decoding, multivalued coded data is decoded in a multivalued decoding mode. As for binary-coded data, values of pixels of a binary image resulting from binary decoding are transformed into multivalued data using associated typical-color values. The multivalued data is structured according to structural information, wherein areas of the data may be superposed mutually. Thus, an image is reconstructed.
