According to this invention, encoded data of a target data amount is generated by one image input operation while both lossless encoding and lossy encoding are adopted. For this purpose, an encoding sequence control unit controls a first encoding unit for lossy (JPEG) encoding, a second encoding unit for lossless (JPEG-LS) encoding, first and second memories, and a re-encoding unit, and stores, in a first memory, encoded data of a target data amount or less that contains both losslessly and lossily encoded data. A correction unit corrects, of encoded data stored in the first memory, encoded data of an isolated type to the type of neighboring encoded data, and outputs the corrected data.

An object of this invention is to increase the encoding efficiency of attribute data of each pixel of image data by using the fact that the probability that the attribute flag data of adjacent pixels have the same bit position is higher than the probability that the attribute flag data of adjacent pixels have the same value. In the first phase, to encode 32×32 attribute data having a size of 8 bits corresponding to one pixel, input attribute data is directly output to an encoding unit and encoded. In the second phase, “7” is set in a variable i as the initial value. Eight attribute data are input. Eight-bit data including bits i is generated and output to the encoding unit. The data of bits 7 of 32×32 attribute data are encoded. After that, the variable i is changed to “6”, and the same process described above is executed. This process is repeated until the variable i reaches 0. The amounts of encoded data generated in the first and second phases are compared. Data with a smaller amount is selected and output.

An apparatus for holding a plurality of solar cell units includes a mounting member to be fixed onto a roof, a plurality of fixtures, and a frame member having to-be-sandwiched portions to be sandwiched and fixed between the mounting member and the fixtures, and grooves that support the ends of the plate-shaped solar cell units. The to-be-sandwiched portions of the frame members are positioned inside projection plane regions that project the solar cell units and the grooves immediately below, whereby the distance between adjacent solar cell units reduces.

The present invention provides a hydrogen-generating apparatus comprising two catalytic reactors cyclically operating reforming and regeneration (combustion) mode, in which the reduction in reforming efficiency associated with an increase in switching frequency to the regeneration reaction can be suppressed, and generation of hydrogen by reforming can stably be performed. In the reforming reaction, a cathode offgas discharged from a hydrogen-separation-membrane fuel cell 30 having a hydrogen-permeating film is supplied to PSR reformers 10 and 20, in which the reforming reaction and the regeneration reaction are performed alternately.

A fuel cell of the invention has a hydrogen permeable metal layer, which is formed on a plane of an electrolyte layer that has proton conductivity and includes a hydrogen permeable metal. The amount of a catalyst supported on a catalyst layer in the fuel cell is regulated according to an uneven temperature distribution in the fuel cell, which is caused by operating conditions of the fuel cell including temperatures and flow directions of fluids supplied to the fuel cell. Such regulation effectively equalizes an uneven temperature distribution in the fuel cell and thus advantageously prevents the lowered durability and the deteriorating performance of the fuel cell due to the uneven temperature distribution in the fuel cell having the hydrogen permeable metal layer.

A hydrogen-permeable membrane includes a permeable layer which has a function of making hydrogen permeate therethrough, and a catalyst layer which acts as a catalyst for promoting permeation of the hydrogen in the permeable layer. An area of the catalyst layer which contacts gas is larger than an area of the permeable layer.

A microcomputer includes a plurality of operation mode selecting terminals to which data for selecting plural operation modes are set. The plurality of operation mode selecting terminals is designed so as to be usable as general-purpose input terminals or output terminals. A decoder decodes the data set to the plurality of operation mode selecting terminals and outputting a mode signal for switching an internal function in accordance with a selected operation mode. A timing signal output unit outputs to the decoder a timing signal for making the decoder execute a decode operation. The timing signal output unit outputs the timing signal when at least one of power-on-reset and an externally controlled reset is varied from an active state to an inactive state.

According to this invention, the encoded data amount of an image and its area attribute information can be encoded to a target amount or less by one input operation of image data, and an input image can be efficiently encoded in accordance with the property of the image. For this purpose, an encoding sequence unit sets an initial quantization matrix table for an image encoding unit in accordance with a mode set by a mode setting unit, and sets parameters associated with attribute rewrite for an attribute rewrite unit. When an image is input, encoded image data generated by the image encoding unit is stored in a memory. Attribute-encoded data generated by an attribute encoding unit is also stored in the memory. The first counter counts an encoded-image data amount, and the second counter counts an attribute-encoded data amount. When the sum of these encoded data exceeds a target amount, the encoding sequence control unit updates the quantization matrix table for the image encoding unit, and causes the image encoding unit to continue encoding. The updated quantization matrix table is set for a re-encoding unit, and encoded data stored in the memory is re-encoded.

Crimp pieces (21) of a metal terminal and a conductor wire placed on an inner side of the crimp pieces are positioned between a crimp indenter (11) and a crimp anvil (18). Then, at least one of the crimp indenter (11) and the crimp anvil (18) is moved toward another one thereof along a direction of a longitudinal center axis (12) to crimp the crimp pieces (21). At least two arch-shaped portions (13) are disposed on an inner surface of the crimp indenter (11), and are adjacent to each other and symmetric with respect to a plane including the longitudinal center axis (12). A sharply pointed portion (14) is defined by curves of the at least two arch-shaped portions (13) intersecting on the longitudinal center axis (12). Curvature of each of the curves is set to be greater toward the sharply pointed portion (14).
摘要:
A grinding machine rotatably carrying a finish grinding wheel and a super-finish grinding wheel respectively on first and second wheel heads practices a method of grinding workpiece surfaces to super-finish surfaces with micro oil pockets. A surface of a workpiece rotatably carried on the machine is first ground with the finish grinding wheel to a predetermined diameter under the control of a sizing device. The workpiece surface is then ground with the super-finish grinding wheel to a target diameter under the control of a sizing device. The super-finish grinding is performed to the extent that peaks of a section curve representing the roughness of the workpiece surface attained by the finish grinding are removed but bottoms of the surface curve are left to a depth when the target diameter is reached, so that the bottoms so left of the roughness constitute the micro oil pockets.
