Patent EP-1511291-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DE QUEIROZ RICARDO L
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 2004-08-19
Abstract: What is disclosed is a method for digital watermarking in a calibrated
printing path and comprises: first receiving a pixel possessing color values
from an input image; receiving a plurality of information bits to be encoded at
a corresponding pixel in an output image. Then, one of at least two different
GCR functions are selected where the selection is based on the state of the
received information bits. The number of GCR functions to be selected from
is dependent on the number of possible states of the information bits intended
to be encoded at each image pixel and preferably equals the number of
states of the information bits intended to be encoded at each image pixel
such that the GCR spatially varies across the output image. Further, at least
two GCR functions are optimized to carry information and information bits
intended to be encoded within the output image are represented with a tag.
CMYK values are then generated using the selected GCR function and the
color values. These CMYK values are assigned to a corresponding pixel in
the output image. The information bits to be encoded at a given pixel indicate
the type of object to which that pixel belongs, such as: graphics, picture, text,
line art, etc.. The output image, when printed, exhibits the property that
substantially similar colors occurring at different spatial locations in the input
image are produced with substantially different CMYK combinations in the
print. Preferably, a parameterized function is used for the GCR function and
the encoded state sets the parameter of the function. Information bits should
be redundantly encoded throughout the output image. Regions that cannot
be encoded by GCR information have to be compensated for. A reference
mark is applied on the output image to indicate the starting point and order of
the information sequence.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a video display unit (1) which is
capable of reducing power consumption without tuning off a screen itself, and
capable of preventing an operator from forgetting to turn off a power supply so
as to be easily operated by the operator. It is checked as to whether a music CD
where no video information is stored is reproduced (S100), and if an energy
saving setting is effected in the case of the music CD, a display screen is
rendered dark in a standby state by decreasing luminance of the display screen
without turning off the display screen. Further, if a key input is effected for a
predetermined time interval, the display screen is not rendered in the standby
state (S103), while if the key input is effected even in the case of setting to the
standby state, the display screen is returned to the normal state (S107). Still
further, if the reproduction of the CD is ended in the standby state, the power
supply is automatically rendered in an OFF state.

Abstract: A transmission-ratio-varying steering apparatus (1) has a control
circuit (31) capable of storing a rotation angle between input and output
shafts (11, 13) in a non-volatile memory (30) when the generator (8a)
outputs a surge voltage. The transmission-ratio-varying steering
apparatus includes clamp means (35a) provided between a battery (8) and
the generator (8a) on one side and a power-supply circuit (35b) on the other
side. The clamp means (35a) clamps a surge voltage generated by the
generator (8a) to a third predetermined voltage higher than a first
predetermined voltage but lower than a second predetermined voltage. If
a surge voltage higher than the second predetermined voltage is generated
by the generator (8a), a self-protection function of the power-supply circuit
(35b) can be prevented from cutting off power being supplied to a
microcomputer (31) and an EEPROM.

Abstract: A direct conversion receiver includes a receiver for receiving a
signal including multiple components at different receiving frequencies
belonging to a frequency band. A mixer mixes the signal components into a
base band signal comprising I- and Q branches. A converter converts the
analog base band signal into a digital signal. The receiver includes a
measuring unit for measuring power levels of the signal components in pairs,
where one component in the pair belongs to an upper sideband of the
frequency band and one component in the pair belongs to a lower sideband of
the frequency band. An estimator estimates, when either the upper sideband
component or the lower sideband component dominates in power over the
component in the pair, a frequency-independent phase imbalance, a frequency-dependent
phase imbalance and a gain imbalance, and a compensator
compensates the estimated imbalances to at least one of the I- and Q-branch
signals.

Abstract: To provide a technology enabling a terminal device to
use various functions provided in a data processing device
without the use of a device driver. A multifunction device
executes a process for implementing a function indicated by
instruction data when such instruction data is stored in a
shared area of the RAM. Here, the shared area of the RAM in
which the instruction data is stored can be recognized by a
personal computer connected to the multifunction device as a
storage area that can be accessed through the file system,
which is a function provided as a standard feature of the
operating system. Accordingly, operations of the
multifunction device can be controlled from the personal
computer end simply by storing instruction data in the
shared area via the operating system, eliminating the need
for a special device driver to control the operations of the
multifunction device.

Inventor: HAYASHIDA SHINSUKE
IPC: A61B6/00
Filed: 2004-08-18
Abstract: To avoid needless image processing to remove an
after image, a first fixed pattern noise image is
acquired prior to switching to the radiography mode
and it is determined from the fixed pattern noise
image data whether or not the significant after image
is present or not (step S204). If it is determined
that an after image is present, a decision is then
made whether or not to erase the after image. Thus,
for example, if radiography should be executed soon,
or the amplitude of the after image is negligible, or
the after image is present outside of the region of
interest in the radiographic image, or radiography can
be executed while avoiding the after image, there is
no need to erase the after image and the procedure can
then advance to setting and executing the radiographic
mode without after image erase processing (step S210).
Whether or not a significant after image is present
(step S204) may be judged by determining the
uniformity of values of pixels contained in the fixed
pattern noise image. This uniformity check may be
performed on fixed pattern noise image acquired at the
time of performing white image radiography prior to 
executing the actual radiography or, alternatively,
may be performed on the basis of a second fixed
pattern noise image obtaining after carrying out white
image radiography.
