When a selected target color space for a digital camera is changed, the colors of a final image, i.e., the colors of an image in the changed target color space, are predicted from an image that is displayed on a display unit of the digital camera. For example, if the target color space is changed to an sRGB color space and the display unit has an AdobeRGB color space, then an image in the target color space (the sRGB color space), which is generated from a captured image by a signal processor, is converted by a matrix calculator into an image in the AdobeRGB color space, and then the image is supplied to the display unit. Hence, the colors of the final image can be predicted from the colors of the image displayed on the display unit.

In a transmissive-type liquid crystal display device including a liquid crystal panel and a backlight, the liquid crystal panel has pixels each divided into four subpixels red (R), green (G), blue (B), and white (W). The backlight is a white backlight by which luminance of emitted light is controllable. A color-saturation reducing section carries out a process of reducing color saturation on a first RGB input signal, which is an original input signal, so that the first RGB input signal becomes a second RGB input signal. Thereafter, an output signal generating section obtains a transmissivity and a backlight value on the basis of the second RGB input signal.

A cooling water circulation apparatus capable of limiting attachment of microorganisms and scale in an environmentally friendly manner and a method of removing scale in the cooling water circulation apparatus. An electrolytic device 10 is provided on a cooling water circulation route R1. In the arrangement, mineral contents such as calcium ions and magnesium ions contained in cooling water W are deposited as scale S on an electrode 12A or 12B in an electrolytic step, thereby enabling the mineral contents to be removed from the cooling water W. Even if the hardness of the cooling water W is increased by evaporation of the water with elapse of time, the hardness can be reduced by the electrolytic processing. Thus, the deposition of the scale S in the circulation route R1 can be reduced. Further, the scale S deposited on the electrode 12A or 12B can be easily separated by operating while reversing the polarities of the electrodes 12A and 12B at predetermined time intervals.

A NOx occluding and reducing catalyst 7 is arranged in the exhaust gas passage 2 of a lean burn engine 1. When the engine 1 is in operation at a lean air-fuel ratio, the operating air-fuel ratio is changed over to a rich air-fuel ratio for a short period of time to execute the rich spike operation for reducing and purifying the NOx occluded in the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst. At the time of the rich spike operation during the lean burn operation being supercharged by a supercharger 45 provided in the intake air passage 4, an electronic control unit 30 of the engine so sets the richness degree of the engine operating air-fuel ratio as to decrease with an increase in the supercharged pressure. This prevents the HC and CO components from flowing out in large amounts to the downstream of the catalyst 7 due to blow-by, and prevents a decrease in the NOx reduction efficiency of the NOx occluding and reducing catalyst.

An automatic centrifugal clutch is interposed in a power transmission system between an engine and a driving wheel. A motor, which is capable of generating electricity, is supplied with electricity from a battery to generate auxiliary power. The motor is connected to a crankshaft of the engine. An acceleration data acquisition component acquires the accelerator operation amount and the accelerator operation speed. A delay time setting component sets a delay time according to the acceleration data. A motor controller supplies the motor 13 with a magnitude of electricity in accordance with the acceleration operation amount after the delay time has elapsed from the moment when an accelerator grip was moved from an idle position.

An acceleration sensor includes a weight and a vibrator that supports the weight at its center of gravity. When acceleration is applied to the weight, stress equivalent to the applied acceleration is generated in the vibrator. As the vibrator is arranged to support the weight at its center of gravity, a characteristic relationship is observed between the acceleration, such as angular acceleration or translational acceleration, and the size of electric charges and the polarity. By taking advantage of this relationship, different types of acceleration can be easily detected.

There are provided a word search apparatus, a word search method, and a computer program product. A words dictionary, and a character recognition dictionary for storing coordinate data of a standard character pattern of a handwritten character and a character are used to thereby search for, from the words dictionary, a word including a character corresponding to one or a plurality of character patterns extracted by performing a pattern matching. Only a character string corresponding to one or a plurality of character patterns is extracted from a search result of the words dictionary to generate a part of character string. A selection of one part of character string among the generated parts of character strings is received, and only a word including the selected part of character string is extracted from the search result based on the words dictionary, so that the extracted word is displayed.
