摘要:
When first image data, which is in a first color space, is converted into second image data, which is in a second color space corresponding to an image output unit. Upon converting the image data, if the first image data is color data, background removal process is switched OFF. Otherwise, the background removal process is switched ON. Thus, it is possible to obtain an image desired by a user.

An aluminum-coated structural member includes an Al—Si—Fe alloy layer formed on a steel substrate layer. The alloy layer includes a softer region having a hardness smaller than or equal to a hardness of the steel substrate layer, extends from the surface of the steel substrate layer toward a surface of the alloy layer, over a depth range greater than or equal to 50% of a thickness of the alloy layer. The Al—Si—Fe alloy layer has an oxide weight smaller than or equal to 500 mg/dm2.

An apparatus and method are provided for analyzing information relating to the physiological and psychological conditions of a driver. Psychological conditions such as comfortableness or degree of alertness are estimated on the basis of physical data such as fluctuation in brain waves. This apparatus comprises a first neural network having a pre-processed 1/f fluctuation signal for brain waves as an input and for estimating a degree of alertness of the driver, and a second neural network receiving the estimated degree of alertness and the pre-processed 1/f fluctuation signal, for estimating and outputting driving comfortableness. By employing a neural network, which has a mapping ability as well as flexible adaptability even for non-linear data, based on the learning function, more accurate estimation of mental conditions can be achieved in comparison with conventional statistical analysis.

摘要:
A magnetic resonance diagnostic apparatus is configured in such a manner that: a high-frequency transmission coil transmits a high-frequency electromagnetic wave at a magnetic resonance frequency to an examined subject; a heating coil performs a heating process by radiating a high-frequency electromagnetic wave onto the examined subject at a frequency different from the magnetic resonance frequency; based on a magnetic resonance signal, a measuring unit measures the temperature of the examined subject changing due to the high-frequency electromagnetic wave radiated by the heating coil; and a control unit exercises control so that the measuring unit measures the temperature while the heating coil is performing the heating process, by ensuring that the transmission of the high-frequency electromagnetic wave by the high-frequency transmission coil and the radiation of the high-frequency electromagnetic wave by the heating coil are performed in parallel.

An image processing unit includes a first image processing unit that processes image data from a reading unit and a second image processing unit that processes image data from either one of the first image processing unit and a storing unit. A control unit determines a processing to be performed on the image data by the second image processing unit depending on a result of a processing performed on the image data by the first image processing unit, and selects an image processing route depending on a processing to be performed on the image data by the second image processing unit.
摘要:
An image processing apparatus in which the reusability of digital image data is improved is disclosed. The apparatus includes an image reading unit reading a draft and obtaining the digitized image data; an image writing unit printing image data on a transfer paper; a recording unit recording image data and attached information of the image data; an external I/F unit transmitting and receiving image data and attached information of the image data; a first and a second image data processing units processing the image data from the image reading unit and the recording unit, respectively; and a bus controlling unit connecting each of the units. The first and the second image data processing units match the characteristics of the image data to prescribed characteristics so that the matched image data can be usable for both the image writing unit and the external device.
摘要:
In the image reading apparatus, reference color patches used to determine the necessity of calibration are read, and the read image for the reference color patches is stored. The read image is converted using a color conversion function from data for a device-dependent RGB space to sRGB data for a standard color space to obtain sRGB reference image data. The converted read image and the sRGB reference image are displayed on a CRT. An operator compares the two images and performs an entry operation for executing calibration if the amount of displacement between the two is significant.

An image forming apparatus includes a scanning unit that scans documents to produce a first image data and a second image data; a correcting unit that corrects at least one of the first image data and the second image data; and a combining unit that combines raw or corrected first image data and the second image data.
摘要:
A temperature control technique and an exposure technique are provided with which high temperature control accuracy can be realized even when a device, which causes thermal fluctuation depending on a temperature-controlled fluid, is used. A gas recovered from a reticle chamber as the temperature control objective, and a high purity purge gas supplied from a gas supply source are mixed in a mixing section. The temperature of the mixed gas is lowered by a refrigerator. Subsequently, the humidity of the gas is measured by a temperature sensor. The gas is then supplied to the reticle chamber via a heating mechanism, a chemical filter which absorbs or generates heat depending on the humidity and a dust protective filter. The heating amount to the gas by the heating mechanism is controlled based on temperature information by a temperature sensor in the reticle chamber and humidity information by the humidity sensor.
