摘要： A stereoscopic imaging system includes a stereoscopic imaging apparatus having a plurality of imaging modules to pick up an image and an imaging sync control module to arithmetically process the video signals output from the plurality of the imaging modules for the stereoscopic imaging operation. In the case where the imaging modules control the exposure using an electronic shutter function and come to have different timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period, an imaging sync control module sets the plurality of the imaging modules at the same timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period by displacing the phase of the timing of the center of gravity of the exposure period of the imaging modules thereby to prevent the image processing capability of the stereoscopic imaging operation from being reduced.

摘要： An image recorder is provided which assures recording even if its primary recorder is inoperable. The recorder includes an image compression processor to compress input images, a buffer to buffer the compressed image data, a first recorder to record the image data, and a second recorder for recording the image data if the first recorder is inoperable. The second recorder typically operates with a recording rate different from that of the first data recorder.

摘要： A scheduling method in which a communication apparatus communicates data with a plurality of users by preferentially allocating a data sequence to a default subchannel segment that is different from another-cell allocation subchannel segment. As many data sequences as can be allocated to the default subchannel segment are selected and the selected data sequences allocated to the default subchannel segment. In downlink scheduling, the data sequences are selected in order from a data sequence subjected to a maximum level of interference from an adjacent base station. In uplink scheduling, the data sequences are selected in order from a data sequence that causes a maximum level of interference to the adjacent base station because of data communication. A data sequence not allocated to the default subchannel segment is allocated to the other-cell allocation subchannel segment when allocation of all the data sequences to the default subchannel segment fails.
