Abstract: A clustering technique groups manufacturing data in clusters of similar parametric behaviour. Each cluster groups data points which satisfy a given criterion of process behaviour similarity. These data may be widely separated in time and thus need not form time ordered clusters. The technique operates in multi-dimensional parameter space and can represent process data that is characterised with multiple performance measures. The technique produces a partition of the data into the minimum number of clusters which satisfy the criterion that all data in the grouping are within a given threshold distance from a cluster nucleus. In addition, the clustering mechanism according the invention is computationally rapid.

Abstract: A face (skin color) area of a person is extracted at a minimized error irrespective of different skin colors of the human races. A hue value calculating portion (1) determines a hue value from an input image (RGB signal). A primary discriminating portion (2) extracts pixels whose hue value lies in a specified range defined by limiting values outputted from a control portion (5). A pixel-counting portion (3) counts the extracted pixels. The control portion (5) selects a threshold value for extracting a face area according to the count of the extracted pixels and outputs the threshold value to a face-area extracting portion (4) which in turn extracts a face area according to the threshold value. 
     The method and device are usable for video processing device, e.g. for producing video information suitable to use in video telephones and video conferences.

Abstract: A rotor 22 accommodated in a casing 26 has a circumferential surface sliding on the internal surface of the casing 26 in airtight condition. The casing 26 is provided with a powder feed part 27 positioned above the rotor and is provided with a powder drop part 30 positioned under the rotor. At least one quantity-measuring recessed part is formed in the slide surface of the rotor. In accordance with the rotation of the rotor, the quantity-measuring recessed part comes to communicate with the powder feed part, so that powder is fed from the powder feed part into the quantity-measuring recessed part. When the rotation is advanced, the quantity-measuring recessed part comes to communicate with the powder drop part, so that the powder drops from the quantity-measuring recessed part through the powder drop part into a high-pressure part 19 arranged thereunder. These members construct a quantitative powder feeder which, even when a pressure difference exists between the supply side and the supplied side, can effectively prevent the gas flow and pressure leak therebetween and can minimize the amount of carrier gas used for feeding powder.
