Abstract:
An image transmitter, comprising: a color difference differential calculating unit configured to calculate color difference differential data relating to a difference between a current predicting value predicted based on a previous image data and current actual image data; a coding unit configured to code the color difference differential data to generate coding data; a multi-valuation unit configured to generate multi-valued data based on the coding data and an occurrence probability of the coding data based on statistical properties of the image data; and a transmitting unit configured to transmit the multi-valued data via at least one transmission line.
Abstract:
A sensor with a strain gage 106 is disposed on an inner circumferential surface of a distortion generating body 100 which is a half-blindly hollowed cylinder having a prescribed thickness and diameter between a driving flange 101 to be fixed to a rotating body and a driven flange 102. The sensor converts a physical quantity corresponding to torque acting on the cylinder into an electrical signal. And the electrical signal is further converted into an optical signal by a light emitting element 113 and transmitted to a stationary section. The optical signal transmitted from the rotary section is made incident on a circumference of an optical fiber 115. The light made incident on the circumference of the optical fiber 115 is transmitted to an end of the optical fiber. The light which has reached the end is received at a light-into-electricity conversion element 131 to be converted into an electrical signal. Thus, a measured value of torque is obtained. Accordingly, torque of a rotating body can be measured in a noncontact manner with low electric power.
