Abstract:
A can component (3) is coated with a coating material (2) in a manner which involves determining the number of can components to which the coating material is applied, determining the total amount of coating material applied to the can components, and determining, on the basis of the number of can components and the total amount of coating material applied, the average amount of coating material applied to each can component. In this way it is possible to determine whether the correct amount of coating is being applied to the can components.

Abstract:
A system for buffering data received from a network comprises a network socket, a plurality of buffers, a buffer pointer pool, receive logic, and packet delivery logic. The buffer pointer pool has a plurality of entries respectively pointing to the buffers. The receive logic is configured to pull an entry from the pool and to perform a bulk read of the network socket. The entry points to one of the buffers, and the receive logic is further configured to store data from the bulk read to the one buffer based on the entry. The packet delivery logic is configured to read, based on the entry, the one buffer and to locate a missing packet sequence in response to a determination, by the packet delivery logic, that the one buffer is storing an incomplete packet sequence. The packet delivery logic is further configured to form a complete packet sequence based on the incomplete packet sequence and the missing packet sequence.

The data driver comprises a shift register receiving image data of three primary colors in serial and outputting them in parallel within each scan duration, a sample and hold register acquiring the image data from the shift register, a gamma multiplexer outputting gamma reference voltages for the three primary colors in a predetermined sequence within each scan duration, three DACs receiving the image data of the three primary colors from the sample and hold register and the gamma reference voltages from the gamma multiplexer, and outputting calibrated image signals of the three primary colors, respectively, and three buffers receiving the calibrated image signals from the three digital-to-analog converters in the sequence of the primary colors.
Abstract:
An image processing device separates and extracts, when it receives a designation input of a compression processing mode, a character region, a graphic region and a photograph region from input image data. Then, to perform the compression process for the individual region data, if a speed preference mode is set, one of a plurality of compression methods designated for each of the region data which exhibits the highest processing speed is used, if a picture quality preference mode is set, one of a plurality of compression methods designated for each of the region data which exhibits the least picture quality deterioration is used, and if a size preference mode is set, one of a plurality of compression methods designated for each of the region data which exhibits the highest compression ratio is used. Further, for each of character region data from among the extracted region data, the image size is calculated. If the image size is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the MMR compression is used, whereas if the image size is smaller than the threshold value, the Flate compression is used to perform the compression process for the character region data.

Abstract:
An electronic control unit has two microcomputers. Each microcomputer has a data buffer storing data to be transmitted in every 8 ms, a data buffer storing data to be transmitted in every 16 ms, and another data buffer storing data to be transmitted in every 16 ms and being different from the data buffer. The microcomputer transfers at the transmission timing of every 8 ms data in the data buffer to the transmitting buffer, while it transfers alternately the data in the data buffer and the data in the data buffer to the transmitting buffer. The microcomputer also transfers an ID that indicates content of the present transmitting data to the transmitting buffer.
