Abstract:
The present invention relates to a clamp control method, a clamp correction device, an image sensor, and an electronic apparatus in which high-quality imaging without unnaturalness as a whole can be performed with low power consumption in an image sensor having a large number of pixels.A clamp correction process includes a process of calculating an average value of row pixels in a left horizontal OPB region 51L in a same scanning row and holding the average value (S31) and a process of calling the average value at the scanning of respective next rows, subtracting the average value from itself to perform predetermined clamp correction, and setting the value as a lower limit value of a black level in a row of a corresponding left effective pixel region 41L (S32). Also, the clamp correction process includes a process of calculating an average value of row pixels in a right horizontal OPB region 51R and holding the average value (S41) and a process of calling the average value at the scanning of respective next rows, subtracting the average value from itself to perform predetermined clamp correction, and setting the value as a lower limit value of a black level in a row of a corresponding left effective pixel region 41R (S42).The present invention is applicable to a CMOS image sensor or the like having a large number of pixels.
Abstract:
The embodiments of the present invention relate to a double-side printer system in which two thermal heads printing print data on a front face and a back face of a thermal recording paper in which thermo-sensitive layers are formed on both sides are provided, and when these thermal heads are driven in accordance with the print data, temperatures of these thermal heads are sensed in order to vary print densities of the data to be printed, and ON/OFF times for electrical connections are controlled with respect to heater elements of the respective thermal heads, and to a control method thereof.

Abstract:
An automotive airbag apparatus is able to reduce the shock caused by early deployment of airbag against a passenger not in a position for safe airbag restraint, and further able to deploy quickly and effectively when a passenger is in a position for safe restraint. The airbag apparatus includes an airbag housing in which a folded airbag resides until deployed by the gas from an inflator, an airbag door that opens on a hinge from the pressure applied by the deploying airbag, and a restrictor member extending over the folded airbag beneath the airbag door with a direction from front to rear of the vehicle. The restrictor member has a fixed end at forward part thereof attached to the airbag housing, and a releasable fixed or free end at rearward part thereof, the free end coming into frictional contact with the airbag door in the vicinity of the hinge as the airbag door is pushed out by the early phase of the airbag deployment.
Abstract:
A console unit recognizes an operation schedule of a punch unit and a saddle unit based on an operation instruction received from an MFP. Further, the console unit determines, based on a result of the recognition, whether start timings of motors and solenoids in the respective units overlap with each other between the respective units. When the result of the determination is affirmative, the console unit controls execution timings of operations of the respective units corresponding to the operation instruction to prevent the start timings of the motors and the solenoids in the respective units from overlapping with each other between the respective units.
Abstract:
An information recording/reproducing apparatus includes a registration unit that registers scheduling information to periodically record information; a recording unit that records the information on a recording medium based on the scheduling information; a reproduction unit that reproduces the information recorded on the recording medium; a deletion unit that deletes the information according to a deletion instruction from the recording medium; and an erasure unit that erases, when the number of times of reproducing the information according to the deletion instruction is zero, the scheduling information associated with the information from the registration unit.
Abstract:
