Inventor: ISHII SATOSHI
IPC: H04N9/73

Abstract: Techniques of a video camera or the like which comprises light emission means like a strobe illuminating a foreground object, are disclosed. By controlling an amount of strobe light emission means in accordance with a control signal to an AGC amplifier, an image picked-up signal from the AGC amplifier is regulated at a constant level. A window pattern corresponding to an intended foreground object to be picked up is selected by pattern selecting means or automatically selected by colour temperature information. Accordingly, the level of the image picked-up signal of the foreground object is detected so that the strobe is controlled to effect light emission in accordance with illumination intensity on the foreground object. In strobe mode: when a condition for strobe light emission is ready, the aperture of an iris is reduced and the gain of an AGC amplifier is fixed at a predetermined value. Accordingly, a dark image representing the condition ready for strobe light emission is displayed on an electronic viewfinder, and in addition saturation of charge accumulation is prevented. Since white balance of an image picked-up signal of foreground object being picked up with light emission of light emission means is controlled in accordance with colour temperature information, the effect of other sources of light besides the light emission means is taken into consideration.

Abstract: A polycrystalline silicon layer (18) is deposited and patterned to define a level of interconnect. Contact opening (24) to lower conductive layers are then defined and patterned. A refractory metal (26) such as tungsten is selectively deposited over the device, so that it adheres to the polycrystalline silicon in the interconnect leads and silicon of the lower conductive layer which is exposed in the contact openings. This provides a low resistance interconnect, and good, metal, contacts to underlying layers. Shared contacts between two or more polycrystalline silicon interconnect layers and in underlying conductive layers such as a substrate are easily formed using this technique.

Abstract: A method and system for analyzing the usage of postage meters with respect to the history of meter recharges for the purpose of detecting fraudulent or improper usage of the meters. The apparatus includes an optical character recognition system which scans mail pieces in a stream of mail pieces to recognize postage amounts and meter identification numbers imprinted on the mail pieces. The apparatus also includes inputs for input of data representing the recharge history for postage meters which correspond to authorized identification numbers and thresholds, i.e. parameters against which expenditures and the refill history of a particular meter will be tested. A data processing system compares cumulative amounts of postage expended by a particular meter to determine if the difference between totals expended and total recharges exceeds the thresholds, indicating the possibility of fraudulent or improper use of that meter. When such possible fraudulent or improper use is detected the apparatus diverts the suspect mail pieces from the mail stream. In one embodiment the apparatus may include an input for input of particular meter identification number to be diverted. In another embodiment the apparatus may check for incorrect dates on mail pieces.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a fuel-injection device, wherein a solenoid valve adjust a fuel-injection level of the fuel-injection pump by adjusting its throttling for the fuel-injection passage to supply the fuel to a compressor. A driving pulse to drive the solenoid valve is formed taking various factors into consideration. For example, the driving pulse is composed of its segment having a large duty ratio and of its segment having a small duty ratio in order to secure a responsiveness of the solenoid valve. The driving pulse is formed on the bases of a change in electrical voltage to drive the solenoid valve, varying levels of voltage drop in a wire harness installed for every cylinder, and of varying levels of responsiveness unique with fuel-injection pumps.
