Provided is a wearable joint driving device in which a plurality of frame members are attached to a wearing body so as to be in contact with the outer surface of the wearing body. Between the frame members, there is mounted a fluid pressure type actuator. The fluid pressure type actuator has an expansion/contraction member and a net-like covering member covering the outer periphery of the expansion/contraction member. The fluid pressure type actuator undergoes a reduction in length through expansion of the expansion/contraction member to thereby generate a driving force. The frame members have a predetermined level of rigidity.

A voice output system and method provide a voice of high quality while enabling coexistence with other wireless transmission systems. Compression-encoded voice data accompanying a video displayed on a video display surface is acquired at the side opposed to the video display surface. The voice data is wirelessly transmitted. At least at the video display surface side, the wirelessly transmitted voice data transmitted is received and expanded. Then, the voice based on the acquired expanded voice data is output.

An image-pickup apparatus for picking up an image using a solid-state image pickup device. The apparatus includes a first and a second input receiving parts for receiving different input signals in accordance with a user's input operation, an image-pickup-condition determination part for determining an optimum image-pickup condition to be set at image-pickup time, and an image-pickup controller for controlling such that the image-pickup-condition determination part starts a determination operation at input-signal receiving time of the first receiving part, when the input signal is received continuously and the second input receiving part receives an input signal after the optimum image-pickup condition is determined, an image picked up by applying the image-pickup condition determined to be the best is captured, and when the second input receiving part receives the input signal on the other conditions, a plurality of pickup images are captured continuously by applying different image-pickup conditions in sequence.

An image processing apparatus includes a wavelet transform unit which applies filtering to each of one or more images having a first size into which an original image is divided, thereby producing wavelet coefficients, a quantization unit which scans and quantizes the wavelet coefficients to produce quantization coefficients, and a coding unit which scans and encodes the quantization coefficients, wherein a number of pixels in one line for the filtering and a number of pixels in one line scanned for the quantization and the encoding are selectively changed, thereby encoding an image having a second size relatively small and of frequent use without division thereof into the one or more images having the first size.
摘要:
From given code data, a first total data amount of codes is calculated for each processing unit. A second total data amount of codes is calculated for each processing unit from the first data amount of codes for each processing unit, which second data amount is a data amount obtained when image data obtained from decoding the code data is again compressed and coded at a higher compression rate. A re-compressed code data is obtained from updating the additional information to information for the re-compressed state, and reading the data of codes for each processing unit from a memory for the second total data amount in a predetermined manner.

A fault detection system detecting malfunctions or deteriorations, which may result in an inverter fault, is provided. The system has a temperature sensor installed on a semiconductor module to monitor a temperature rise rate. It is judged that an abnormal condition has occurred if the thermal resistance is increased by the deterioration of a soldering layer of the semiconductor module or by drive circuit malfunctions and, as a result, the relation between an operation mode and the temperature rise rate falls outside a predetermined range.

A method for producing an interior a product comprising a corrugated cardboard base formed into a predetermined shape and a decorative skin layer laminated to one side of the cardboard base. Using a hot-press, a substantially planar cardboard base comprising a corrugated core and liners laminated to both sides of the core through thermoplastic resin films is formed into a predetermined shape by heat and pressure at a temperature high enough for remaining heat to be sufficient to melt a hot melt adhesive on the surface of the cardboard base after removal of the formed cardboard base from the hot press but not so hot as to scorch the paper of the cardboard base. The formed cardboard base is then taken out of the hot press and transferred into a cold press, thereafter a decorative skin is put on the surface of the formed cardboard base through a hot melt adhesive. The formed cardboard base and the skin layer are pressed in the cold press, allowing the adhesive to be melted by the remaining heat of the cardboard base to bond the skin layer to the formed cardboard base. While the skin layer bonds to the cardboard base, the thermoplastic resin interposed between the core of the cardboard base and each liner solidifies to fix the formed shape so as to prevent spring-back. The interior trim product can be used for the ceiling of an automobile.

A communication terminal apparatus having a speech input module arranged movable from a position adjacent to a main shell to a position distanced from the main shell for calling. The communication terminal apparatus includes a transmitter/receiver circuit for modulating and transmitting an output signal from the speech input module, and demodulating and reproducing an input signal, an input control mechanism composed of a plurality of operating keys, a detector mechanism for detecting the position of the speech input module; and a controller device responsive to a detection signal from the detector mechanism for controlling the action of the input control module as well as conducting the transmission and receiving actions of the transmitter/receiver circuit. The controller device is arranged to enable the action of the input control mechanism when a particular one of the operating keys of the input control mechanism is actuated. When the position of the movable speech input module relative to the main shell in a call mode has been detected, its signal is used to control the action of the input control mechanism thus carrying out each control operation correctly without unnecessary steps and also allowing a greater number of functions without increasing the number of operating keys.
