摘要:
Disclosed is a photoelectric conversion device which is adapted to accumulate optically generated carriers in the control electrode region of a transistor and to read a signal on the basis of the carriers thus accumulated. This photoelectric conversion device is so designed that the substantial size of the control electrode region is augmented at the time of carrier accumulation. In this device, a region of the same conductivity type as the control electrode region is formed at the time of accumulation and is electrically connected to the control electrode region. During accumulation, carriers, generated by light, are accumulated in the above-mentioned region which is of the same conductivity type as the control electrode region. At the time of signal reading after accumulation, the above-mentioned region which is of the same conductivity type as the control electrode region is made to disappear and the carriers that have been accumulated therein are transferred to the control electrode region. Also, disclosed is an apparatus which is equipped with a photoelectric conversion device as described above.

A parametric curve generating device for developing a Bezier curve is provided. The device is capable of executing a high speed division operation with a limited magnitude of hardware scale. Adders perform calculations that are stored in registers. Convergence discrimination circuits discriminate whether data stored in the registers converge. Subsequent processing varies depending on the discrimination result. A stack memory is used to store data from the registers.
摘要:
A minimum coordinate value at least in one direction of a parameter data group including a start point and an end point of a stroke is detected and outline coordinates are generated from the parameter data group by an outline coordinate generator and a minimum coordinate detector. An outline data generator stores range data indicative of a painting range into a predetermined address in an outline buffer on the basis of the outline coordinates and the minimum coordinate value or the maximum coordinate value. An address generator generates a drawing start address and an end address in a bit map memory in accordance with a value based on the minimum coordinate value and the predetermined address and with the range data. A painter paints by writing the same value into all data between the drawing start address and end address in the bit map memory, thereby generating a character pattern at a high speed by a buffer memory of a small capacity.
