Patent EP-1271933-A3 (EP)
Inventor: BAHARAV IZHAK
IPC: H04N1/028
Filed: 2002-03-04
Abstract: A sensor (100) includes an array of photodetectors (102) each generating an output
signal of pixel data (108) indicative of incident light intensity. This pixel data (108) is read
out from the array one line at a time and stored in a line buffer (104). A bad pixel processor
(110) includes a first buffer (104) that stores pixel data (108) obtained from the line buffer
(116) for a certain pixel in a currently read out line and pixel signal light data for pixels
adjacent to the certain pixel. An included second buffer (122) stores features that are
indicative of whether the pixels in a previously read out line were identified as bad pixels.
Using the information in the first and second buffers, the processor (110) identifies whether
the certain pixel is a bad pixel. In one operation, the processor (110) precludes any finding of
the certain pixel as being a bad pixel if the features in the second buffer (122) indicate that a
pixel in the previous line that is adjacent to the certain pixel in the current line was identified
as a bad pixel. In another operation, the processor (110) applies a variable detection
threshold against the certain pixel, with the value of that threshold being set higher if the
features in the second buffer (122) indicate that a pixel in the previous line that is adjacent to
the certain pixel in the current line was identified as a bad pixel. When a bad pixel is
detected, a correction algorithm is executed to replace the pixel data (108) for the bad pixel
with data that more accurately represents, estimates or approximates the intensity of the light
that is incident on the photodetector.

Abstract: A method for use in a distribution system having a key
management center, a distribution station and a reception
terminal. The method updates a pair of distribution keys unique
to the reception terminal, the distribution public key being
used to encrypt distribution data, and the distribution secret
key to decrypt encrypted data. In the key updating method, the
reception terminal acquires an update secret key prior to data
distribution, the keymanagement center acquires an update public
key making a pair with update secret key, generates a new pair
of distribution keys, encrypts new distribution secret key using
update public key, transmits encrypted secret key to the
reception terminal and updates to the new distribution public
key. The reception terminal receives encrypted secret key and
restores new distribution secret key by decrypting it using the
update secret key and updates to the new distribution secret
key.

Abstract: The technique of the present invention enhances the workability
of bonding and improves the finish in poster printing. The procedure
first sets multiple areas adjacent to one another in an image expressed
by master image data, where each of the multiple areas corresponds to
each unit page to be printed. The procedure then enlarges each of the
adjacent areas by preset dimensions (corresponding to an enlarged
area in marginless printing) and sequentially extracts image data
included in each enlarged area. The procedure subsequently
magnifies the extracted image data by a predetermined magnification
to generate each piece of page image data. The area actually printed
is a little greater than the size of each sheet of printing paper. This
arrangement thus enables an image part, for example, each part of a
letter 'A', to be printed to the top, bottom, left, and right sides of each
sheet of printing paper. The image part printed in each sheet of
printing paper is continuous with the image part printed in an
adjoining sheet of printing paper.

Abstract: An output of an operational amplifier circuit is set to
the high impedance state in a given period including a
transition between a period T1 (positive polarity) in which a
voltage level of a counter electrode VCOM becomes VC1 and a
period T2 (negative polarity) in which VCOM becomes VC2. In
the period T1, data line is driven by a P-type operational
amplifier OP1 having a P-type driving transistor, while in the
period T2, the data line is driven by an N-type operational
amplifier OP2 having an N-type driving transistor. By
positively using a parasitic capacitance between the counter
electrode and the data line, the voltage level of the data line
is changed before driving. The excess charge is returned to
the power source side by clamping the output of the operational
amplifier circuit to a voltage range equal to or wider than a
voltage range of power sources VDD and VSS. The voltage range
of power sources VDD' and VSS' of a clamp circuit are set to
be narrower than that of the power sources VDD and VSS of the
operational amplifier circuit.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus and
a process which is low-cost, simple to use, reliable and
long-lived and will effectively monitor the moisture
condition of a volume of soil. In accordance with the
invention, a light transmitting rod is placed into the soil
so that its lower end is within the soil and its upper end
is visible from outside the soil volume. The lower end of
the rod is beveled to reflect light entering the rod from
its upper end back toward the upper end. 
     In accordance with the method of the present
invention, observance of the presence or absence of light
at the upper end of the rod determines the moisture content
of the soil. That is, the presence of light confirms that
the soil is dry, whereas the absence of light (a dark end)
confirms that the soil is moist. In accordance with the
apparatus of the present invention, the rod is placed into
the soil and a light sensor is placed adjacent to or on the
upper end of the rod to control a pump or valve for
providing water to the soil.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a
high-intensity, reliable plasma display panel even when
the cell structure is fine by resolving the problems such
as a low visible light transmittance and low voltage
endurance of a dielectric glass layer. The object is
realized by forming the dielectric glass layer in the
manner given below. A glass paste including a glass
powder is applied on the front glass substrate (11) or the back
glass substrate (21), according to a screen printing method, a
die coating method, a spray coating method, a spin coating
method, or a blade coating method, on each of which
electrodes have been formed, and the glass powder in the
applied glass paste is fired. The average particle
diameter of the glass powder is 0.1 to 1.5µm and the
maximum particle diameter is equal to or smaller than
three times the average particle diameter. Furthermore, 5-30wt%
of TiO 2  is added to the glass powder in case the glass
powder is included by a glass paste which is applied on the back
glass substrate (21). By adding the TiO 2 , the dielectric
glass layer (23) on the back glass substrate (21) reflects the light
emitted from a phosphor (25) toward the front panel (10).
