摘要:
A distribution of an image signal read from a stimulable phosphor sheet and bearing a transmitted radiation image of a human body is determined along a horizontal direction across the image. Signal values of the distribution along the direction are accumulated, and the rate of change of the accumulated values is determined to find the imaged posture of the image. Alternatively, the separation or the average value of the distribution is determined, or the pattern of the distribution is compared with a plurality of reference signal distribution patterns. The derivative of second order of a function approximated by the distribution pattern may be checked for its sign, or the distribution pattern may be checked to determine whether it is of a one-valley form or a two-valley form.

A method and related apparatus for extending the battery life in a battery powered computer system having a high power consumption peripheral device, such as a hard disk. The energy state of the power supply battery is determined by a voltage detector. When the battery voltage drops to a level below which continued operation of the computer system will become unreliable or impossible, battery life is extended by de-energizing any high power consumption peripheral devices such as the hard disk, thereby providing an operator with additional time to store data or secure a backup power source. To prevent loss of data as it is being stored on a hard disk, one embodiment of the invention cuts off power to the hard disk only when the hard disk is operating in a standby mode, thereby improving data storage reliability.

A method of compressing image signals by vector quantization comprises the steps of dividing two-dimensional image signals into blocks B each comprising the signals at adjacent picture elements, selecting a vector that corresponds with the minimum distortion to differences between the image signals in each block B and a representative value m of signals or interpolation-predicted values for the image signals, and encoding the information representing the selected vector, and the information representing the representative value m or the information utilized for calculating the interpolation-predicted values. The two-dimensional image signals are divided into blocks B' deviated from the blocks B. For each of partial regions of the block B overlapping the blocks B', a representative value n calculated for the block B' including the partial region is used as the representative value m for the partial region. Or, the interpolation-predicted values in the block B are predicted based on the representative values n in all of the blocks B' partially overlapping the block B.

A method of compressing image signals comprises the steps of dividing original image signals representing a two-dimensional image into blocks each of which is composed of a plurality of samples, converting the original image signals at respective picture elements in each of the blocks into n-valued system where n denotes an integer of 2 or larger, calculating means values m.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . , m.sub.n of the original image signals at the respective picture elements in the block that have the common n-valued signals, and encoding the mean values m.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . , m.sub.n and the n-valued signals. The mean values m.sub.1, m.sub.2, . . . , m.sub.n and/or the n-valued signals in each of the blocks are then subjected to vector quantization.

In a method of reconstructing an image from compression-processed image signals, the image is reconstructed from transformed image signals obtained by carrying out irreversible compression encoding processing of image signals and then carrying out decoding processing. The irreversible compression encoding processing and the decoding processing of training image signals representing a predetermined training image are carried out to obtain transformed training image signals prior to the image reconstruction. The transformed training image signals are compared with the training image signals, and differences therebetween are calculated at respective picture elements. Noise signals having a signal value distribution in accordance with the distribution of the differences are generated, and the image is reconstructed by randomly adding the noise signals to the transformed image signals.
摘要:
A method of compressing and reconstructing image signals by vector quantization comprises the steps of dividing two-dimensional image signals into blocks each comprising a fixed number of samples, selecting a vector that corresponds with the minimum distortion to the image signals in each block from a code book comprising a plurality of different vectors and prepared by defining the fixed number of vector elements, encoding the information on the selected vector to correspond to each block, and taking the vector elements of the vector, which the encoded information represents, as reconstructed signals of each block. In the case where the reconstructed signal attains a value between image signals "a" and "b" and having a relationship of b-a=.alpha. where .alpha. denotes the minimum level difference corresponding to a density resolution of an image reproducing apparatus, the reconstructed signal is transformed to the image signal "a" or "b" by giving a larger probability weight to the image signal "a" or "b", whichever is closer to the reconstructed signal.
摘要:
A PM-ECU configured to control a drive torque of a vehicle is configured to be stopped in response to a driver's operation of a start switch and then activated in response to a driver's re-operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to be activated and place a restriction on the drive torque of the vehicle, in response to a re-operation of the start switch after the PM-ECU is stopped in response to an operation of the start switch. The PM-ECU is configured to remove the restriction on the drive torque in response to a reduction of an operation amount by which an accelerator pedal is operated.

摘要:
In a manual transmission mode, a downshift instruction signal is outputted by a position sensor, and a shift range is lowered by one gear, as a result of an operation of a shift lever by the driver. The driving force of the vehicle is increased through downshifting. The number of times of downshifting within a predefined time is limited to a predefined number of times.
