Abstract: A digital still camera of the present invention allows the user of the camera to monitor a picture being picked up by a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) imaging device (4) provided on the camera. In a monitor mode, a system controller (9) indicates to a timing generator (15) one or two or more of a plurality of electrodes forming a vertical path in the imaging device (4) and from which signals should be read out. In response, the timing generator (15) feeds stored charge transfer pulses to the designated electrodes together with vertical drive pulses via a vertical driver (16). The pixels of the imaging device (4) are reduced, or thinned, in the vertical direction. The resulting reduced picture appears on a liquid crystal monitor (8) via a signal processing section (5). The user may operate set switches (12) provided on the camera in order to select desired electrodes.

Abstract: The invention, which relates to a method and an arrangement for signal processing in a receiver that can be tuned to different carriers, is based on the object of providing a method and an associated circuit arrangement for signal processing whereby the outlay in the development and production of receivers that support a plurality of standards and the space requirement on the chip arc reduced. According to the invention, the object formulated is achieved according to the method by virtue of the fact that the energy of the adjacent carriers  N  + 1 and  N -  1, wherein a carrier  N  contains a signal of interest and the receiver is tuned to it, is determined from the digital signal, in that the energy value of the carriers  N  + 1 and  N -  1 determined are compared with a threshold value, in that in the case where the threshold value is exceeded, a frequency shift of the signal by +Δ f  or -Δ f  is effected in the second method step prior to the filtering, and in that the frequency shift thus produced is reversed by a frequency shift by -Δ f  or +Δ f  in the fourth method step prior to the filtering and the signal is decoded.

Abstract: In an MFP, a system controller (105) is connected to an engine (200) via a universal transmission line (301) and a dedicated transmission line (302). When MFP is powered, the system controller sends a mode signal to the engine via the dedicated transmission line (302). If the mode signal indicates that the power mode is to be set to a normal mode, the engine activates predetermined components. The system controller and the engine then establish communication via the universal transmission line (301). After establishing the communication, if the mode signal indicates that the power mode is to be set to a mode other than the normal mode, the system controller sends a setting command to the engine via the universal transmission line (301) to set the power mode to any of a plurality of power-saving modes.
