Title: parallel processing of an image and its corresponding thumbnail
Inventor: NAGASHIMA NORIAKI
IPC: H04N19/60
Filed: 2005-03-24
Abstract: An image processing device creates JPEG compressed image data from an uncompressed still input image. A number of pixels of the input image is converted to a predetermined number of pixels of a reduced image to be obtained by reducing the input image in size. The uncompressed image data of the input image and reduced image data of the reduced image are JPEG-compressed to output JFEG-compressed image data of the input image and the reduced image.

Abstract: A gas-dispensing device (2) for dispensing a gas into breathing gas, comprising a
membrane (6) through which the gas can diffuse into the breathing gas, is described. The
gas-dispensing device (2) is simple and reliable because it contains a self-contained
chamber (4) in which the gas is held at a predefmed overpressure, and the membrane (6) is
arranged to form a part of the chamber's (4) wall.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a housing of a size capable of being held by a player, a display screen provided in the housing, and a gyro sensor for detecting an angular velocity of a rotation around an axis perpendicular to the display screen. 
When the player rotates the game apparatus itself around the axis perpendicular to the display screen, a rotation angle of the housing is calculated on the basis of the detected angular velocity. The display screen displays a game image including a rotational image rotated according to the rotation angle and an irrotational image controlled independently of the rotation angle. The rotational image is controlled so as to rotate in a direction opposite to the rotation angle and by the same degree of angle as the rotation angle, for example. It thus appears to the player that the rotational image stands still and the irrotational image makes a rotational movement. It is determined whether or not some predetermined requirements are satisfied in a relationship between the rotational image and the irrotational image, and the progress of the game is changed according to a result of the determination.

Abstract: A control-reliable lockout valve system has an inlet port (33) for coupling to a source of pressurized fluid (11) and an outlet port (34) for coupling to a downstream fluid-actuated device (15). A double valve unit includes a pair of valve elements (31, 32) each controllably moving between a respective actuated position and a deactuated position to control a first flow path between the inlet port (33) and the outlet port (34) in response to a pilot pressure applied to the valve elements (31, 32). The first flow path provides the pressurized fluid to the outlet port (34) only if both of the valve elements (31, 32) are in the respective actuated positions. The double valve unit further includes an exhaust port (35), and the valve elements (31, 32) control a second flow path for coupling the outlet port (34) to the exhaust port (35) unless both of the valve elements (31, 32) are in the respective actuated positions. A pilot supply valve (37) is provided having an inlet (36) for coupling to the source of pressurized fluid (11), an outlet (38) coupled to the double valve unit, and a manually actuated valve element (39) for selectably applying the pilot pressure to the valve elements (31, 32) of the double valve unit, whereby the manually actuated valve element (39) can be closed to isolate the valve elements (31, 32) of the double valve unit from the pilot pressure to lockout the valve system in a control-reliable manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel methods and devices for differentiating in a patient parathyroid diseases, such as hyperparathyroidism and related bone diseases, from normal or non-disease states. One detects whole or non-fragmented (1 to 84) parathyroid hormone in a biological sample and also a large non-whole parathyroid hormone peptide fragment that can function as a parathyroid hormone antagonist. By either comparing values or using independently the value of either the large non-whole parathyroid hormone peptide fragment, the whole parathyroid hormone, or the combination of these values one is able to differentiate parathyroid and bone related disease states, as well as differentiate such states from normal states.
