摘要:
A linear interpolating method and apparatus for color signals in a memory of a picture reproducing machine, wherein the stored signals are addressed in a three-dimensional fashion and a cubic interpolation unit in the memory is dissected into tetrahedra. It is determined which of these tetrahedra contains the interpolation point, and then the value at that point is interpolated from the known values at the vertices of the tetrahedron, using a certain method of linear interpolation. An apparatus is described for carrying out the method.

A wavelength swept light source includes a sawtooth waveform as a main waveform and an exponential component of the sawtooth waveform to the controlled voltage of the electro-optic deflector. The controlled voltage is controlled so that, as an oscillation wavelength to be swept is swept towards a longer wavelength side, a change rate of the oscillation wavelength is increased.

An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier that carries an electrostatic latent image; a developer supplying unit that supplies developer by being driven at a predetermined speed; a developing unit that develops the electrostatic latent image, while a transporting member transports the developer, a transport speed of the transporting member being switched to a plurality of speeds; a determining unit that determines whether or not an operation where a supply capacity of the developer supplying unit is greater than a transport capacity of the developing unit exceeds a predetermined threshold value and is continued; and a controller that performs control so that, when the determining unit determines that the operation exceeds the predetermined threshold value and is continued, an operation that was being executed immediately prior to the determination is stopped to forcefully drive the transporting member of the developing unit for a predetermined driving time.
摘要:
Provided is a method for rapidly and easily detecting a mutated nucleic acid, which is contained in a small amount in a nucleic acid sample together with wild-type nucleic acids, with high specificity and high sensitivity. In the method of the present invention, amplification of a detection region comprising a target site by a nucleic acid amplification method is inhibited, by the steps of allowing a nucleic acid having a target site to coexist with a clamp probe comprising a photo-crosslinking nucleic acid and having a sequence complementary to the target site, and photo-crosslinking the nucleic acid having the target site with the clamp probe by photo-irradiation.

A developer container is provided with a container body. An opening is formed through the container body. An opening/closing lid closes the opening. A lid holding frame holds the opening/closing lid in such a manner that the opening/closing lid can move between an open position and a closed position. A stopper stops the opening/closing lid and thereby preventing it from moving toward the open position in a state that the opening/closing lid is located at the closed position. A contact portion comes into contact with a hook portion provided in a container receiving portion when the developer container is inserted into the container receiving portion. A deformable portion deforms the stopper to such an extent that the stopping of the opening/closing lid by the stopper is canceled when the developer container is inserted into the container receiving portion and the contact portion comes into contact with the hook portion.

A member for agitating and conveying a developer, includes: a rotation shaft that rotates in a given direction; a spiral-shaped conveying member that is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft; and conveys a developer in a shaft direction of the rotation shaft; a protruded agitation section that protrudes, with a gap from the rotation shaft, from the spiral-shaped conveying member toward an upstream side in a developer conveying direction; and agitates the developer; and a diameter directional conveying section that is disposed between adjacent spires of the spiral-shaped conveying member; is disposed in a downstream side in the developer conveying direction with respect to the protruded agitation section; and gives a diameter directional conveying force to the developer.

In a method of selecting coding modes for block-based encoding of a digital video stream composed of a plurality of successive frames, depth values of pixels contained in coding blocks having different sizes in the plurality of successive frames are obtained, the largest coding block sizes that contain pixels having sufficiently similar depth values are identified, and coding modes for block-based encoding of the coding blocks having, at minimum, the largest identified coding block sizes are selected.

An image processing apparatus includes an image input unit that inputs image data, a storage unit that stores the image data inputted by the image input unit, an image output unit that reads the image data from the storage unit to output the read image data, and a data deleting controller that controls a deleting operation of the image data stored in storage unit based upon a condition of an acceptance of a next job.
摘要:
An optical communication system is constructed which enables highly reliable and flexible connection to communication nodes connected to a path establishment circuit, by utilizing wavelength-routing characteristics of a path establishment circuit such as an arrayed waveguide grating. The optical communication system has multiple communication nodes having a signal output port and signal input port pair, and a path establishment circuit having multiple optical input ports and multiple optical output ports which are set so that optical signals input from the respective optical input ports are output to predetermined optical output ports corresponding to the wavelengths of the optical signals.
