Patent EP-1684505-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHIBANO TOSHINOBU
IPC: H04N5/243
Filed: 2006-01-24
Abstract: A brightness level converting apparatus improves a contrast of an image represented by an image pickup signal output from a logarithmic conversion solid-state image pickup device, so as to obtain a natural image. For this purpose, the brightness level converting apparatus converts brightness levels in the image pickup signal output from the solid-state image pickup device which logarithmically converts an incident light quantity. In the brightness level converting apparatus, a brightness level converting section converts the brightness levels in the image pickup signal by using a brightness level converting function expressed by an S-shaped curve which indicates the relation between an input brightness level and an output brightness level and includes one inflexion point. Therefore, the contrast in a low brightness level range in the image pickup signal is reduced. At the same time, the contrast in a high brightness level range is reduced while appropriately keeping a gradation. With this, the contrast in an intermediate brightness level range in the image pickup signal is improved considerably. 
     Therefore, the image represented by the image pickup signal whose brightness levels are converted becomes a further natural image.

Also, a manganese-containing heat-resistant aluminum-based alloy product consisting essentially of, in weight percent: up to 0.25% chromium, 0.80-1.20% copper, up to 0.30% iron, 2.30-2.90% magnesium, 2.70-3.10% manganese, 2.85-3.25% nickel, up to 0.15% silicon, up to 0.15% titanium, 6.10-7.10% zinc, up to 0.25% zirconium, and up to 0.25% scandium, with the balance being aluminum. A spray-formed billet of the alloy is prepared by: charging aluminum and the other elements that are to make up the alloy into a crucible; melting the elements in the crucible to form the alloy; pouring the melted alloy through an atomizer to atomize the alloy in a spray chamber; and depositing the atomized alloy onto a collector disc at the bottom of the spray chamber to form the desired spray-formed billet. The billet can then be forged into a shaped product, such as an aircraft inboard main wheel half.

Abstract: A data driver outputs image data to a liquid crystal panel, using a trailing edge of a timing signal as a trigger. When a user operates a remote control for power-off, a main controller outputs, to a driver controller, a stop signal for stopping the timing signal, and a power switching signal for switching the image data to a low power for output after a predetermined time from the stop signal. Accordingly, the image data is switched to a low power for standby mode after the supply of the timing signal to the data driver is completely stopped. Thus, when the data driver outputs image data to the panel in response to a last pulse of the timing signal, the data driver is prevented from outputting image data having been switched to a low power, so that noise can be prevented from appearing on the screen of the panel.
