Patent EP-0813336-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SHIOTA KAZUO
IPC: H04N1/409
Filed: 1997-06-09
Abstract: This improved image processing method comprises the
steps of selecting a low-pass filter having a mask size
corresponding to the pixel density of an image to be
reproduced from a plurality of types of low-pass filters;
creating unsharp image signals representing an unsharp
image of the photographic image from digital image signals
using the selected low-pass filter; obtaining difference
signals by carrying out subtraction between signals
relating to pixels which correspond to the digital image
signals and the unsharp image signals; and obtaining
processed image signals for reproducing visible signals by
subjecting the difference signals to predetermined image
processing. According to the improved image processing
method and the improved image processing apparatus
embodying the method, an image having good image quality
can be recorded in such a manner that image information
which has been photoelectrically read out is subjected to
image processing and the dodging is carried out to the
image information output for recording. Thus, a properly
finished print, in which the dodging effect is
sufficiently exhibited and the image having good image
quality is reproduced, can be stably obtained.

Abstract: A valve for controlling the flow of high pressure
fluid from an outlet 3 is described. A safety
mechanism is provided having a movable valve member 11.
When nothing is connected to the outlet the valve
member 11 impedes the flow of high pressure fluid to
the outlet. When a connector 21 is attached to the
outlet 3 the valve member 11 is moved into a position
in which the high pressure fluid is free to flow
through the outlet into the connector. When the
connector is removed the valve member 11 returns to its
original position.

Abstract: An active attitude control system for a spacecraft
utilizes four flywheels (10, 11, 12, 13), at a minimum, which
can selectively provide options of fully redundant momentum
bias, ¾ redundant momentum bias, or fully redundant zero
momentum bias. A plurality of reaction wheels (11, 12, 13)
are mounted on the spacecraft and rotatable on spin axes
(111, 112, 113) in a fixed configuration for together
maintaining full three-axis (x, y, z) control of the
spacecraft to a predetermined attitude. A momentum wheel
(10) is also rotatable on the spacecraft about the first axis
(x) for maintaining qyroscopic stiffness. In the event of a
failure of the momentum wheel (10), the reaction wheels (11,
12, 13) may have a combined angular momentum sufficient to
maintain the gyroscopic stiffness lost by the failure of the
momentum wheel while maintaining full three-axis control of
the spacecraft to a predetermined attitude. In one
embodiment, the reaction wheels (11, 12, 13) are mounted in
a fixed trihedral configuration, a first reaction wheel (11)
being rotatable about a spin axis (111) which lies in a plane
of the first and second axes (x, y), and second and third
reaction wheels (12, 13) being rotatable about spin axes
(112, 113) which lie in a plane of the first axis (x) and are
oblique to the second and third axes (y, z). In each
instance, the spin axis (111, 112, 113) intersects the first
axis (x). Also, each of the first, second, and third spin
axes (111, 112, 113) is tilted away from the first axis (x)
through an angle of 0 1 , and the second spin axis (112) is
tilted 0 2  away from the first spin axis (111) measured in a
plane of the second and third axes (x, y), and the third spin
axis (113) is tilted 0 3  away from the first spin axis (111)
measured in a plane of the second and third axes (x, y).

Abstract: A digital camera includes a CPU. When a memory card recorded with an
additional program is mounted, the CPU detects a size of the additional program, a
maximum vacant area formed in a flash memory and a size thereof. The CPU then
compares the size of the additional program with the size of the maximum vacant area. If
the maximum area is sufficiently large, it is written by the additional program. On the
other hand, if the size of the maximum vacant area is not greater than the size of the
additional program, the photographed image data recorded following the maximum
vacant area is moved, for each cluster, to another vacant area, thereby extending the
maximum vacant area.

Abstract: An engine (1) and a motor (26) are connected to the drive wheels of a vehicle via
an automatic transmission (30). The drive wheels are driven using one of or both
of the motor and the engine depending on the running state. The automatic
transmission varies the drive ratio by the discharge pressure of the oil pressure
pump (51). The oil pressure pump is driven by a second motor (50). When the
automatic transmission is varying the drive ratio, the discharge of the oil
pressure pump is increased by increasing the rotational speed of the second
motor and thus the required oil for varying the drive ratio is maintained.

Abstract: A method for estimation of a transmission channel and for
transmission and reception of digital signals over the
channel comprises the steps of transmission of data
sequences intercalated with probe sequences, calculation
in reception of a channel characteristics estimation for
probe sequences received and interpolation of the channel
estimation for the data sequences. After obtaining the
interpolated estimation the transmission and reception
method comprises the additional phase of recognition of
received information data by equalizing the data sequences
with the interpolation result. An apparatus employing the
method has at one end of the channel a device (12) for
intercalation of probe sequences between data sequences
and at the other channel end a discriminator (16) which
separates the probed and data sequences. An estimator (17)
estimates the channel for the probe sequences and an
interpolator (18) produces the desired interpolated
estimation. An equalizer (19) equalizes the data sequence
on the basis of the interpolated estimation.

Abstract: The present invention aims to produce a label which
has a size, margins and a character arrangement as a user
desired, and aims to reduce a wasteful consumption of
tape. 
     In a tape printing device of the present invention,
there is established an enlargement printing mode in
which a large pseudo label, whose width is wider than the
width of tape (T), can be obtained when the tape is divided
into division portions in the longitudinal direction of
the tape (T) and when the division portions are arranged in
the direction of the width of the tape. When printing in
this mode, the tape printing device prints not only a
character string but a marker which indicates the
dividing positions in the longitudinal direction of the
tape, with the intention of improving the quality of the
pseudo label. 
     Further, the tape printing device of the present
invention has the function of automatically setting the
length of the front and rear margins according to the
width of the tape and the function of printing a square-array
dot pattern on a wide region which is wider than
the character string. Moreover, the tape printing device
of the present invention has the function of feeding the
tape, for example, between a print head (32) and a cutter (39),
when instructing to stop printing the character string,
without printing characters. Furthermore, the tape
printing device of the present invention has the function
of printing a character string even when accelerating and
decelerating a tape feeding motor. Thus, desirable
margins or the like can be realized and the reduction in
wasteful consumption of the tape can be achieved by
making use of theses functions. 
     Additionally, the tape printing device of the
present invention has the function of inputting, taking
in and printing (1/M)-scale reduced numeric characters,
each of which has a size that is (1/M) the size of a
full-size character. Thus, the variety of the manners of
printing numeric characters can be increased.
