An apparatus for analyzing blood includes an image capturing device for capturing an image including at least one object blood cell and an analyzer for analyzing the captured image as an image F(x, y) in an x-y coordinate system. The analyzer includes an edge calculator for calculating an edge intensity distribution E(x, y) representing an outline of the image F(x, y); a weight memory for storing in advance a weight distribution W(i, j) corresponding to an average outline of the object cell; an assessment value calculator for obtaining an assessment value C (x, y) at each point (x, y) by calculating a degree of correspondence between the edge intensity distribution E (x, y) and the weight distribution W(i, j) for each point (x, y); and an extractor for extracting a point (x, y) at which the assessment value C(x, y) is larger than a predetermined value, thereby determining that the object blood cell is present at the point (x, y). The apparatus is useful as a device for identifying the object blood cell.

A non-invasive blood analyzer is intended to capture images of a prescribed volume of blood in a blood vessel in a non-invasive manner and with a good contrast without collecting blood from a living body. The non-invasive blood analyzer includes a light application device for illuminating a detection region of vessels contained in a part of a living body, an image capturing device for capturing images of the detection region illuminated by the light application device, and an analyzer for analyzing blood components contained in the detection region by processing the images captured by the image capturing device. The image capturing device includes an object lens for converging the reflected light from the detection region. The light application device illuminates the detection region at an incident angle larger than an aperture angle of the object lens with respect to the detection region to provide dark-field illumination.

In addition, it includes a differential image forming device for calculating a difference in pixel information between the reference image and one of the plurality of images to form a differential image by using the calculated difference as pixel information. Finally, a blood cell image detecting device is included for detecting a blood cell image from the differential image.

A non-invasive blood analyzer contains a light applicator for illuminating a detection region under the skin of a living body including a blood vessel; a camera for capturing an image of the illuminated detection region; an analyzer for processing the captured image and analyzing at least a component of blood in the blood vessel; a transparent plate; and a support for supporting the transparent plate and contacting the transparent plate closely with the skin over the detection region. The light applicator and the camera are constructed to illuminate the detection region and capture the image of the detection region through the transparent plate. Further, a drive controller is included for driving the support to move the transparent plate contacted closely with the skin in order to adjust the detection region to thereby compensate for any change in position of the blood vessel.

A tire is designed using a tire FEM model by obtaining an optimal solution for a tire structure which optimizes an objective function with a tread pattern shape kept fixed and performing a numerical optimization for obtaining an optimal solution for the tread pattern shape which optimizes the objective function with the tire structure kept fixed. The optimization for the tire structure is performed using a tire model having a tread pattern shape optimized at the immediately preceding cycle of the operation of optimizing the tread pattern shape. The optimization for the tread pattern shape is performed using a tire model having a tire structure optimized at the preceding cycle of the operation of optimizing the tire structure. The optimizing operations are repeated until convergence of optimal solutions obtained by those operations takes place.

A Y/C separator improving characteristics of dot crawl elimination and cross-color interference elimination even at a sampling frequency unequal to an integer multiple of a color subcarrier frequency of an NTSC television signal. A received composite color television signal is quantized by a clock signal with a frequency synchronized to the horizontal sync signal of an input signal. Chrominance component values are extracted in various directions of a target sample by using neighboring samples of the target sample. The chrominance component is obtained by selecting and outputting the extracted chrominance component values in accordance with correlation values of the corresponding samples from which the color component is removed. The calculation of the chrominance component extraction value is carried out by detecting the phase rotation angle of the color subcarrier signal per clock near the target sample, and in response to the detected value.
摘要:
An AGC control section (110) has a first operation mode for controlling the gain of a variable gain amplifier (103) to maintain the amplitude of the sync signal measured by a sync signal amplitude measuring circuit (108) at a constant value, and a second operation mode for preventing the gain from being increased even when the amplitude of the sync signal measured by the video signal processing circuit (109) is smaller than the predetermined first reference value and reducing the gain of the variable gain amplifier (103) only when the amplitude of the video signal exceeds a predetermined second reference value. During operation in the first operation mode, when the amplitude of the sync signal is smaller than the predetermined first reference value and the amplitude of the video signal is greater than the predetermined second reference value, the mode is switched to the second operation mode. During operation in the second operation mode, when the amplitude of the sync signal becomes not less than the predetermined first reference value, the mode is switched from the second operation mode to the first operation mode.
