Abstract:
A solid-state image sensing apparatus comprises a signal processing section for performing signal processing on an image signal output from a solid-state image sensing device for performing photoelectric conversion of incident light, wherein the signal processing section includes: a temporary storage section for temporarily storing the image signal; and a transmission timing adjusting section for performing the output control of a transmission timing control signal and providing the transmission timing control signal to the temporary storage section such that the image signal stored in the temporary storage section is output within a period other than an image data interval of the image signal output from the solid-state image sensing device.
Abstract:
In the DSP which processes an image pickup signal obtained via an optical lens (imaging optical system) and outputs the resulting image pickup signal as processes to an image display section, distortion aberration due to the optical lens is corrected according to a distance from a pixel position corresponding to an optical axis of the optical lens by changing the pixel position for each of a target image in radial directions when the pixel position corresponding to the optical axis is set as a center while suppressing an occurrence of jaggy in the resulting image. With this structure, an image pickup apparatus which corrects distortion aberration by changing pixel position only in radial directions from a pixel position corresponding to an optical axis of the imaging optical system while suppressing an occurrence of jaggy.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing mechanical parts from the raw material of metal scrap such as shavings and turnings of castings and steel and press chips of steel, includes the steps of: preparing the metal scrap including shavings and turnings; forming a billet by pressing metal scrap; heating the billet to the forging temperature, whereby a satisfactory plasticity is given to the billet for plastic deformation of metal scrap in the succeeding process; and forming the heated billet into a forged workpiece by use of a semi-closed forging die. The shape of the billet is determined such that, in this forging step, the respective portions of the billet are subjected to plastic deformation having a given plastic deformation rate, whereby material flow sufficient to generate metallic bond at the respective portions is caused, and burred portions are formed on portions of the forged workpiece mainly subjected to extrusion press during die-forging.
Abstract:
An inspection circuit is constructed by first inspection TFTs provided to one end sides of signal lines, and second inspection TFTs provided to the other end sides of the signal lines. By using both the first inspection TFTs and the second inspection TFTs, the driving capability can be secured while miniaturizing the first inspection TFTs and the second inspection TFTs. Therefore, the signal lines can be reliably inspected while saving the space for the inspection circuit.

Abstract:
Foodstuffs, especially sea food, may be preserved by means of a preserving agent comprising an extract of tea leaves. In accordance with the invention, the extract is employed in admixture with a polyhydroxy compound and an organic acid. Alternatively, the extract may be extracted from the tea leaves using an acidic aqueous extracting solution comprising said polyhydroxy compound and said organic acid.
Abstract:
A non-metallic coreless twist-tie is formed by melting polymeric material, extruding the material in an elongated form, cooling the material, than drawing the material at a rate of more than about 2.5 times. The tie can include glass beads. The polymer is preferably formed from polymeric resin having a degree of crystallization of about 10% to 60% at a crystallized temperature range of about 100.degree. C. to 250.degree. C. and can also include a quantity of fine glass beads. The resulting tie can be twisted and untwisted many times without breakage, is suitable for use in microwave ovens and is simpler to construct than multicomponent ties.
