Patent EP-1442611-A2 (EP)
Inventor: LIN CHIEN-HSIN
IPC: H04N7/50
Filed: 2002-10-25
Abstract: A pixel-data processing circuit delivers a fixed number of pixels to a video processing stage using an irregular sampling pattern that is defined by a variably-definable sampling window. In one example embodiment directed to processing an input stream of pixels corresponding to an array of video pixels, the window size is selected from one of various options for sampling subsets of the array as a two-dimensional window that spans the pixels in the array. A sampling-window is used such that the window size is a multiple of the sampling-window size and the sampling-window size defines the fixed number of pixels. The processing includes concurrently moving pixel data from the input stream into a first set of line buffers with the pixels stored in the first set of line buffers including pixels for the established window size, prefetching the stored pixels from the first set of line buffers into a second set of line buffers, the second set of line buffers being sufficiently long to store at least the pixels corresponding to the established sampling-window size, and fetching the fixed number of pixels from the second set of line buffers. In various applications, in addition to flexibility, the present invention realizes enhanced throughput.

Abstract: A throttle opening degree detecting apparatus in
accordance with the present invention is structured such that
a resin gear (9) is connected to a throttle shaft (4) of a throttle valve (3),
a permanent magnet (21) is mounted to a part of the resin gear (9), and
an opening degree of the throttle valve (3) is detected by detecting
a rotation angle of the resin gear (9) on the basis of an output
signal from a magnetic sensor (22) arranged in a fixed side so as
to oppose to the permanent magnet (21) in a non-contact manner. A
depressed boss portion (9b) is formed in a position of an axis of
the resin gear (9), a yoke (20) and the permanent magnet (21) is mounted along
an inner peripheral surface of the boss portion (9b), and the resin
gear (9) is insert molded by a synthetic resin by inserting the yoke (20)
and the permanent magnet (21). Accordingly, a number of man-hour
for work can be widely reduced, and it is possible to accurately
fix the permanent magnet (21) and the yoke (20) to a predetermined position,
in comparison with the conventional case that the permanent
magnet is bonded to the resin gear by using the adhesive agent.
Further, it is possible to accurately detect the throttle opening
degree.
