A system and method for supporting a depth estimation procedure by utilizing an adaptive kernel includes a capture subsystem for capturing images of a photographic target. The capture subsystem includes an aperture that is adjustable for admitting reflected light from the photographic target to a sensor device. An adaptive kernel is designed in a kernel design procedure based upon symmetry characteristics of the aperture. The adaptive kernel may be designed in either a frequency-domain kernel design procedure or in a spatial-domain kernel design procedure. A depth estimator utilizes the adaptive kernel for performing the depth estimation procedure.

A system and method for generating robust depth maps includes a depth estimator that creates a depth map pyramid structure that includes a plurality of depth map levels that each have different resolution characteristics. In one embodiment, the depth map levels include a fine-scale depth map, a medium-scale depth map, and a coarse scale depth map. The depth estimator evaluates depth values from the fine-scale depth map by utilizing fine-scale confidence features, and evaluates depth values from the medium-scale depth map and the coarse-scale depth map by utilizing coarse-scale confidence features. The depth estimator then fuses optimal depth values from the different depth map levels into an optimal depth map.

An illumination apparatus includes an elongate chassis, a plurality of light emitting devices, a plurality of lenses, an elongate populated board, an elongate holding member, and a heat radiation member. The chassis includes a supporting portion supporting the opposite, longer-side ends of the populated board and a first engagement portion fitting and securing the holding member to the chassis. The holding member includes a plurality of second engagement portions fitting and securing each lens to the holding member and a resilient biasing portion resiliently biasing the longer-side ends of the populated board toward the supporting portion. The populated board is pinched and secured by the resilient biasing portion and the supporting portion and the heat radiation member is sandwiched and thus secured by the populated board and a bottom wall in contact with the populated board and the bottom wall.

According to one embodiment, an ultrasonic motor includes a transducer, a driven member, a pressing mechanism unit. The transducer includes stacked piezoelectric sheets on which internal electrodes are formed. The internal electrodes form driving activated areas and vibration detection activated areas in the transducer. The driving activated areas are located in portions which correspond to a node of the longitudinal vibration and an anti node of twisting vibration, so as to be symmetrical about a central plane in the stacking direction and a plane which is perpendicular to the stacking direction and includes the center axis, and are polarized in the stacking direction. The vibration detection activated areas are located in portions which correspond to a node of the longitudinal vibration and an anti node of the twisting vibration and are closer to the central plane than the driving activated areas, and are polarized in the stacking direction.

A capsule endoscope 3 is inserted into a subject and transmits a capsule ID, which is received by an RF receiving unit 11 of a receiving apparatus 2. A capsule ID detecting circuit 19 detects the capsule ID. A control unit C recognizes a type of the capsule endoscope 3 based on the detected capsule ID, and changes over a threshold of received field strength of a receiving antenna. Thus, a content of processing for the capsule endoscope 3 is changed over, and a selection controller C1 selects a receiving antenna for an image receiving period from receiving antennas A1 to An.

The present invention is intended to be able to ensure detecting whether an open-circuit occurs to a feeder within short time with simple configuration. A receiving apparatus 2 according to the present invention receives image information transmitted from a capsule endoscope 3 through a coaxial cable and a receiving antenna selected and switched to from among coaxial cables 9a to 9d connected to receiving antennas 8a to 8d, respectively by a changeover switch 20. The receiving apparatus 2 includes a changeover switch 22, an open-circuit detecting circuit 23, and a control unit 26. The changeover switch 22 branches the coaxial cables 9a to 9d near the changeover switch 20, and selects and switches to one of the branched coaxial cables. The open-circuit detecting circuit 23 applies a direct-current voltage to the coaxial cable selected by the changeover switch 22 through a constant-current source 203, and detects whether an open-circuit occurs to the coaxial cable by determining whether a voltage of the coaxial cable is grounded. The control unit 26 controls the changeover switch 22 to perform selection/switching, and controls the open-circuit detecting circuit 23 to perform open-circuit detection synchronously with the selection/switching control over the changeover switch 22.

A host computer includes a virtual disk control part for controlling an input/output request into a virtual disk. A plurality of storage subsystems includes a load monitoring part for measuring a load on a physical disk by the input/output request and storing load information in a disk management table. The virtual disk control part identifies, upon receiving the input/output request into a not-ever-outputted space in a virtual disk, an appropriate logical disk on the virtual disk based on the load information in the disk management table, sends the input/output request to the storage subsystem having the identified logical disk, and updates, upon receiving a completion acknowledgement of the input/output request, the load information in the disk management table based on the load information in the logical disk map information table.

This storage control apparatus 100 is able sufficiently to manifest the merits of economization of electrical power. The storage control apparatus 100 includes one or more additional storage units 150 which are adapted for the supply of power to them to be turned ON and OFF individually. Each of these additional storage units 150 includes a plurality of storage devices 154 (for example, a plurality of HDDs). When a user actuates a management device 106, and causes one or more RAID groups and a spare HDD for each of these RAID groups to be set within the storage control apparatus 100, an MPU 140 of the storage control apparatus 100 controls the management device 106 to make the user set each RAID group and the spare HDD for it within the same additional storage unit 150.
