Abstract: The first image processing apparatus that converts a first
image having a plurality of pixels and expressed in a first
colorimetric system constituted of a plurality of color
components with each of the pixels corresponding to one of
the color components to a second image expressed in a second
colorimetric system constituted of a plurality of color
components which are different from the first colorimetric
system, comprises: a similarity decision-making device that
determines levels of similarity manifesting at a processing
object pixel in the first image along a plurality of
directions; and a new component generating device that
generates color information representing at least one of the
color components constituting the second colorimetric system
at a pixel in the second image corresponding to the processing
object pixel through a weighted addition executed by using
predetermined coefficients to add together a plurality of
sets of color information selected from color information
present at the processing object pixel and color information
present at pixels near the processing object pixel, based upon
results of a decision made with regard to the levels of
similarity by the similarity decision-making device.

Abstract: An active photonic crystal device for controlling an optical signal is disclosed. The device includes a planar photonic crystal (100) with a defect waveguide (102) bounded on the top and bottom by an upper cladding region (106) and a lower cladding region (104). An optical signal propagating in the defect waveguide (102) is confined in the plane of the photonic crystal (100) by the photonic bandgap, and in the direction normal to the photonic crystal (100) by the upper clad region (106) and the lower clad region (104). The propagation of the optical signal in the defect waveguide (102) is controlled by varying the optical properties at least one of the upper clad region (106) or the lower clad region (104). The variation of the optical properties of the controllable regions may be achieved using a thermo-optic effect, an electro-optic effect, a stress-effect, or a mechano-optic effect, or by moving a material into or out of the controllable region.

Abstract: A smooth portion is efficiently extracted from an image. There is provided an entropy
filter in which a noted pixel (x, y) is determined in an original image, said image is partitioned
by a window of size (width, height) = (A, B) from the noted pixel, entropy of the partitioned
window is calculated, and obtained entropy value is saved on the coordinates (x, y) of a
resulting image. Here, in a noted pixel (x, y), x is ranged from 0 to (an image width minus a
window width) and y is ranged from 0 to (an image height minus a window height). By using
an entropy filter, a smooth portion in image quality is extracted from an original image. A
preferred example of the smooth portion is a cell nucleus.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for treating body
tissue using controlled application of heat includes a
control unit providing electrical power to a bipolar
electrode positioned within an expandable member filled
with conductive fluid. Electrical power applied to the
bipolar electrode by the control unit causes current to
pass from the active electrode, into the conductive
fluid, and to the return electrode, thereby heating the
conductive fluid. The temperature of the conductive
fluid is monitored by the control unit, and power is
increased and decreased in accordance with a comparison
of the monitored temperature against the desired
temperature range. The control unit also includes a
pressure sensor for regulating the pressure in the
bladder. Pressure and temperature displays and other
