Abstract:
A picture-data compression system for compressing inputted multiple picture data includes a storage device that stores the multiple picture data; a selection controller that writes the multiple picture data into the storage device and reads the multiple picture data from the storage device; a pixel-number converter that converts the number of pixels of the picture data read from the storage device; and an inter-picture predictive coding unit that codes the picture data whose number of pixels is converted by the pixel-number converter by inter-picture predictive coding. The selection controller reads the picture data written to the storage device at a period of 1/n (positive integer) times the frame period or field period of the picture data. The pixel-number converter converts the number of pixels of the picture data read from the storage device to 1/m times (positive integer) the original.
Abstract:
An object of this invention is to provide a method which, when connection to any external apparatus is established, allows a coded video file to be supplied to the connected external apparatus in a format appropriate for the file format of the external apparatus, and with high video quality, and further achieves immediate responsiveness from connection to reproduction and display. The video-coding apparatus 1 is provided that includes: an apparatus registration block 13 which, when an external apparatus 2 is connected, acquires apparatus information 103 from the connected external apparatus 2 and automatically registers the external apparatus; a coding block 10 that encodes programs in a file format appropriate for at least one external apparatus 2 registered for the same program, and generates a coded video file 101; a storage block 11 which stores the coded video file 101 that has been generated; and an output file selector block 12 which, when the external apparatus 2 is connected, selects a coded-video file 102 of a file format appropriate for the particular external apparatus 2, from the coded video files of multiple formats that contain the same program stored within the storage block 11, and outputs the selected video file 102 to the external apparatus 2.
Abstract:
For enabling a liquid display drive with a low voltage and a high speed, each pixel is provided with a liquid crystal cell 5, a switching transistor 7 and an additional capacitance 9, and the additional capacitances are electrically commonly connected for a block of plural pixels. After the image signal is supplied to the pixels corresponding to the block, the potential of desired one of the common electrode lines 52, 52', to which the additional capacitances 9 corresponding to the block are connected, is varied and retained at thus varied value.

The arrangement of operating devices is set in the order of a first grounding-section operating device, a breaking-section operating device, a disconnecting-section operating device, and a second grounding-section operating device. In addition, a breaking section is supported by a single supporting insulator to reduce the number of creepage insulation portions.
Abstract:
An inductive load drive device using a DC--DC converter circuit with which a high voltage is obtained by the discharge of electromagnetic energy stored in a coil to a capacitor, in which a bias is applied to the magnetic core of a coil (L) with the use of a permanent magnet (Mg) in the direction opposite to the magnetic flux induced by a current so as to increase the electromagnetic energy stored in the coil (L) and make it possible to perform efficient discharge with a small coil.

The winding has a twisted shape in the connecting portion.
Abstract:
A piston rod includes a large-diameter portion that is formed on the side of a movable contact, and a small-diameter portion that is formed on the side of an insulating operation rod relative to the large-diameter portion, and that is formed with an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of an inner peripheral surface of an insulating cylindrical member. The insulating cylindrical member includes a cylindrical portion that is interposed between the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion and the inner peripheral surface of the insulating operation rod, a bottom portion that is arranged opposed to the distal end of the small-diameter portion, and a through hole through which a coupling pin is inserted through the piston rod and the insulating operation rod.
Abstract:
Each outermost part of fixed-side connection conductors, fixed-side fixed contacts, movable-side fixed contacts, and movable-side connection conductors are placed outside of an outermost diameter of a fixed-side conductor and a movable-side conductor, as viewed from an axis line of the fixed-side conductor and the movable-side conductor as a center. This arrangement provides a power switchgear that can diminish mutual effects of currents among conduction parts to suppress decrease in a current-carrying capacity for each of the conduction parts and to increase a current-carrying capacity for a total of the conduction parts, without increasing the size of the switchgear.
