Abstract:
A array including array elements in a number smaller than the minimum number of pixels, having values larger than Th_c, and a plurality of array elements having values smaller than Th_c is generated. A formation array having the same size as that of a latent image is generated from the generated array. An image obtained by replacing the pixel value at a pixel position within the first region in the latent image with the value at the pixel position in the formation array is generated as a configuration image. The pixel value at each pixel position in the configuration image, that corresponds to each pixel position in the input image, is output as the amount of a highly infrared absorbent color material used to print a pixel at this pixel position in the input image.
Abstract:
A dental implant is provided. The dental implant includes an abutment and a fixture to be coupled to the abutment and anchored to a jawbone, and the fixture having a female thread portion. The abutment comprises a titanium member composed of a sintered body made from titanium or titanium alloy, and a ceramic member fixed to the titanium member, the ceramic member composed of a sintered body made from oxide-based ceramic. The ceramic member has a female thread portion, and the titanium member has a first male thread portion which makes thread coupling with the female thread portion of the ceramic member and a second male thread portion which makes thread coupling with the female thread portion of the fixture, whereby the ceramic member is fixed to the titanium member and the titanium member is fixed to the fixture.
Abstract:
Upon applying a DRM protection process to an image which is generated by an image processing apparatus, which doesn't have any communication means that allows direct communications with a PC, without any alteration, encryption of the image in the apparatus and that of the image in the PC as an internal process of the DRM are required, resulting in poor efficiency. The apparatus executes a part of the DRM protection process for the image, and outputs the encrypted image. The PC receives the image which has undergone the part of the DRM protection process, executes the remaining part of the DRM protection process, and outputs the image which has undergone the DRM protection process. In this case, the PC transmits use condition of the input image to a license server, receives signed use condition from the server, and combines the signed use condition with the input encrypted image.
Abstract:
In verification of image data of a captured image as to whether it is original one, the verification is possible even for image data subjected to a peripheral illumination correction or an exposure correction. An order information calculation unit selects a pixel set including two or more pixels based on pixel values and information on an image space of image data of a captured image, and calculates an order of magnitude between pixels in the selected pixel set. A verification data producing unit generates verification data used in verification of whether the image data has not been tampered with, based on the calculated order of magnitude. An image output unit outputs the image data and the verification data.
Abstract:
This invention allows verifying whether or not an original image content has been altered, to specify all edit processes applied to the original image content, and to hold the edited content. To this end, upon inputting a digital content file to be edited, first verification data included in that file is verified. After the content is edited, edit record information for the content is generated. Upon completion of the edit process and outputting the edited content, second verification data is generated based on the verification result of first verification unit, the edit record, and the edited content. The edited content, the edit record, the verification result of the first verification unit, and the second verification data are combined as an edited digital content file, and the combined file is output.
Abstract:
A method is provided that enables verification of whether a component of original image data has been altered at the location at which the component is to be reused without newly generating a signature. More specifically, the method includes inputting first document data including a plurality of components and signature information corresponding to the components, selecting at least one component from among the components, and extracting signature information corresponding to the at least one selected component. The method further includes storing the at least one selected component and the signature information corresponding to the at least one selected component in a memory, and generating second document data by pasting the at least one stored component and the stored signature information into a document selected as a paste location.
Abstract:
Even when encoded (compressed) image data appended with an error-detecting code is encrypted, the apparatus which receives and reproduces that image data can execute a normal process without any insignificant re-send request and the like. To this end, encoded image data is input, and first error-detecting encoding information contained in its header is checked to determine whether or not an error-detecting code is appended. If it is determined that the error-detecting code is appended, the first error-detecting encoding information is changed to indicate the absence of an error-detecting code, and is saved as second error-detecting encoding information. Then, the encoded image data is encrypted.

The present invention has an object to provide a data processing apparatus which can perform digital watermark embedding/extraction in accordance with manipulation, editing, and compression. To achieve the object, the data processing apparatus for performing compression processing on digital data comprises: a digital watermark extracting device extracting additional information, embedded as a digital watermark, from digital data; a digital watermark removing device removing the additional information, embedded as a digital watermark, from the digital data; an irreversible processing deice performing irreversible processing on the digital data; and a digital watermark embedding device embedding the additional information as a digital watermark in the irreversible-processed digital data.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device including an AND-NOR composite gate of which AND unit is supplied with input signals IN and VDD and NOR unit is supplied with an inverted signal EB of an enable signal E, and an AND-NOR composite gate of which AND unit is supplied with an input signal INB and an enable signal E and NOR unit is supplied with VSS. These gates are inserted into a path to which the input signals IN and INB are supplied. Thereby, a symmetric property of a complimentary signal can be retained. Further, outputs of the AND-NOR composite gates are fixed irrespective of a logical level of the enable signal E. Thus, a sub-threshold current also is inhibited.
