摘要:
A portable information processing apparatus in provided with a magnetic disk device switchable to a state providing increased resistance to physical shock upon prediction that such a shock is likely. Under predetermined conditions, a second prediction may be issued that such a shock is no longer likely, allowing the magnetic disk device to switch to a normal state of operations. The shock-resistant state of the magnetic disk device can prevent data access and thus inhibit the progress of important process(es). Upon recognition that an important process is being delayed, the condition for issuing the second prediction may be relaxed to more quickly return the magnetic disk device to a normal operating state.

Video data is segmented into a plurality of scenes. For each of the segmented scenes, an index is produced as an assembly of section information required in a playback of each scene, scene number, and representative frame of scene. A title is added to each index according to search purpose. In a retrieving operation, a desired index is easily found according to the title. The scenes of the retrieved index are successively played back in order of scene number.

Every frame represented by a moving picture signal is divided into blocks. Calculation is made as to a number of pixels forming portions of a caption in each of the blocks. The calculated number of pixels is compared with a threshold value. When the calculated number of pixels is equal to or greater than the threshold value, it is decided that the related block is a caption-containing block. Detection is made as to a time interval related to the moving picture signal during which every frame represented by the moving picture signal has a caption-containing block. A 1-frame-corresponding segment of the moving picture signal is selected which represents a caption-added frame present in the detected time interval.

In a motion vector detection apparatus which processes a plurality of candidate blocks of pixels defined in a search range within a reference frame, to detect a candidate block having maximum correlation with an object block of M.times.N pixels in an object frame, a first input circuit receives successive pixels of the object block in respective clock periods and transfers each pixel to a specific one of a set of M.times.N processor circuits, while a second input circuit receives successive pixels of the search range and transfers each to a specific one of the processor circuits, such that the pixel values of a candidate block are respectively sequentially processed by each of the processor circuits in successive clock periods, with difference values between corresponding object and candidate block pixel values, generated by respective processor circuits, being cumulatively added to obtain an inter-block error value for that candidate block.

A motion compensated prediction interframe coding system which includes a first checking portion for judging whether a motion compensation of a coding block is effective and outputting a motion compensation control signal representing the result of the judgement, a storage portion for storing motion vectors of the coding block and adjacent blocks and the motion compensation control signal, a second checking portion for comparing the motion vector of the coding block, of which the motion compensation should be effected, with each of the motion vectors of the adjacent blocks, of which the motion compensation should be effected, and judging that the intra-loop filtering processing to be performed after the motion compensation is ineffective if the number of the adjacent blocks, of which the motion vectors are identical with that of the coding block, is equal to or more than a predetermined number and that the filtering processing performed after the motion compensation is effective in another case, a motion-compensated brightness calculating portion for calculating motion-compensated brightness of pixels of the blocks, of which the motion compensation is effected, and a predictive brightness calculating portion for calculating predictive brightness of the pixels of the blocks by performing the filtering processing of the motion-compensated brightness of the pixels only if the filtering processing is effective. Thereby, the amount of the generated prediction error signals are reduced, and the picture quality is improved.

A mechanical transport device includes a system for transport; and a hard disk drive attached to the system. The hard disk drive comprises a magnetic recording disk to record data, a head to read or write the data to or from the disk, and a drop sensor designed to sense a shock condition. The system for transport may be a vehicle such as a car.

A mobile image forming apparatus includes a body, a recording device supported by the body and configured to form an image on a recording medium, a roller provided to the body and configured to rotate on the recording medium while the body is moved in a scanning direction for image formation. The mobile image forming apparatus further includes a switching device configured to switch a state of the mobile image forming apparatus during image formation between a roller contact state in which the roller is in contact with the recording medium and a roller contactless state in which the roller is contactless with the recording medium.
摘要:
An image forming apparatus is disclosed that includes a substantially flat top face and a slanted front face, the bottom side of which recedes backward. The image forming apparatus may includes a paper discharge tray disposed at a lower portion of the slanted front face, the paper discharge tray protruding forward. The paper discharge tray may be tiltable upward and downward. Because the bottom side of the slanted front face recedes backward, the flat top face can be provided, and simultaneously, enough space for the feeding and discharging of paper can be secured.
