Patent EP-1427207-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMI YOSHIHIRO
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2002-09-11
Abstract: A CPU 300 divides an image into plural regions and for each of the regions,
generates a histogram and calculates an average brightness Y ave. The CPU 300
determines a focus location on the image by using focus location information, sets a
region at the determined location as an emphasis region, and sets the average
brightness Y ave of the emphasis region as a brightness criterion Y std. The CPU
300 uses the brightness criterion Y std to determine non-usable regions. By using
the regions not excluded as non-usable regions, the CPU 300 calculates an image
quality adjustment average brightness Y' ave, i.e. the average brightness of the
entire image, with a weighting W in accordance with the locations of the regions
reflected thereto, and executes a bright value correction by using the calculated
image quality adjustment average brightness Y' ave.

Abstract: A backpack type satchel with a rain hat and connected cape, consisting of a bag
section (1), a rain hat and connected cape (3) connected to the bag section (1) to form
an integrated unit, in which the rain hat and connected cape (3) can be stowed into a
side pocket on the satchel. The edge (31) of the hat section (34) of the rain hat and
connected cape (3) possesses an internal flexible rubber tube frame (32), with the aim
of causing the edge (31) of the hat (34) of the rain hat and connected cape (3) to stand

whilst at the same time propping up the rain hat (34), ensuring that the rain hat (34)
does not droop in heavy rain. This backpack type satchel also helps to avoid the
trouble caused by sudden rainfall when not carrying some form of protection from
the rain, thus effectively preventing the rain from soaking the body or the objects in
the bag (1), while also guarding against the hidden dangers inherent in primary and
secondary school pupils holding umbrellas in the rain.

Abstract: In a built-in domestic appliance with a door hinged along its bottom
side and provided with a front decorative panel applied to the appliance
through a mounting system including a sliding coupling (1,2,3,4,5)
between the panel and the door with sliding direction orthogonal to the
rotation axis of the door, the panel has such a height that its bottom
end comes into contact with the appliance base in the final phase of the
door opening, and the sliding coupling includes a spring (8) suitable to
push the panel toward the rotation axis. In this way it is possible to
mount panels of greater height on the same machines manufactured for the
application of standard panels, without requiring any modification of
the machine base, since the opening and closing movement of the door
also causes the automatic movement of the panel with respect to the
door.
