摘要:
A photosensor signal processing apparatus is used in combination with an image sensor comprised of a matrix of pixels or photosensors capable of producing an output as a linear function and a logarithmic function of incident illumination. The apparatus includes a correction data storage device which stores therein a set of data about the respective photosensors for the correction of individual outputs of the photosensors, and a correcting device for correcting the respective output values of the photosensors on the basis of the correction data. Thus, even when the individual outputs of the photosensors generate have different characteristics, the output characteristic variation between the photosensors are corrected such that the output characteristics of all the photosensors agree with a reference output characteristic. A fixed pattern noise resulting from the pixel-to-pixel output characteristic variation can be suppressed.

A photosensor circuit comprises a photodiode PD, which converts a light signal into electricity, an n-channel MOS transistor QD1 which has a logarithmic characteristic in its weakly reversed condition and converts a sensor current generated by the photodiode PD into a detection voltage which has a logarithmic characteristic, and a capacitor which is connected to a detection terminal of this transistor QD1. A resetting voltage VG=VS is applied to the gate G of the transistor QD1 to lower the impedance between the drain and the source of the transistor for resetting the transistor to an initial condition. As the n-channel MOS transistor QD1 is a depletion type n-channel MOS transistor, when this transistor QD1 does not receive any gate voltage, the transistor stays in a weakly reversed condition and has a logarithmic characteristic. This photosensor circuit has a high SN ratio and is capable of detecting minute light signals in high precision. Furthermore, it shows no after-image phenomenon and requires a relatively small number of power sources.

A video recorder includes a schedule reconfiguration section having: a local deterioration determining module that determines whether a local deterioration in a recording state occurs by performing simulating the recording state obtained when the reallocated resources are used for performing the programmed recordings and comparing the simulated recording state with a recording state obtained when the resources before the reallocation is used for performing the programmed recordings; and an allocation restoring module that restores the reallocated resources at a part causing the local deterioration to the resources allocated before the reallocation when the local deterioration determining module determines the occurrence of the local deterioration.

An exhaust emission control system of an internal combustion engine desorbs SOx by reversing a flow of an exhaust gas through an NOx storage-reduction catalyst, of which a structure is simplified as follows. A first exhaust pipe connected to an engine is connected to a first port of an emission switching valve having four ports. A second exhaust pipe 10, through which the exhaust gas is discharged into the atmospheric air, is connected to a second port, a third exhaust pipe connected to an inlet of a catalytic converter is connected to a third port. A fourth exhaust pipe connected to an outlet of the catalytic converter 30 is connected to a fourth port. When the emission switching valve is set in a forward flow position, the first exhaust pipe is connected to the third exhaust pipe, and the second exhaust pipe is connected to the fourth exhaust pipe, whereby the exhaust gas flows toward the outlet from the inlet within the catalytic converter. When the emission switching valve is set in a backward flow position, the first exhaust pipe is connected to the fourth exhaust pipe, and the second exhaust pipe is connected to the third exhaust pipe, whereby the exhaust gas flows toward the inlet from the outlet within the catalytic converter.

In an examination system including a head mounted display having image pickup devices such as CCDs provided therein and a computer, coordinates of an image to be displayed in the head mounted display can be set object- or body-centered. An image captured by the image pickup device is supplied to the computer where it will be processed in a predetermined manner for display in the head mounted display.
摘要:
A cold-cathode tube has hitherto been used as a backlight for supplying illumination to a liquid crystal television but recently, light emitting diode pieces have been used for a backlight of a large-size liquid crystal television. For the purpose of improving the emission efficiency, flip chip mounting of the light emitting diode piece is advantageous but the mounting yield is restricted by the piece size, electrode structure and wire pattern structure, facing situations having difficulties in realizing simplified mounting and reduction of costs of members. In a liquid crystal display apparatus having a liquid crystal panel, an optical system and a light source, the light source includes a light emitting element structure having positive and negative electrodes, at least one of them being plural, and wires mounted to the positive and negative electrodes through flip chip mounting by making electrical correspondence to individual regions of the positive and negative electrodes.
