摘要:
A picture processing apparatus is composed of an infrared ray sensor for producing an infrared picture in which a heat distribution of a measured area is recorded, a picture processing section for processing the infrared picture to extract pieces of personal characteristic data and environmental characteristic data from the infrared picture, and a picture information detecting section composed of a neural network for detecting pieces of personal information and environmental information according to the characteristic data. To be concrete, one or more human-areas respectively recording one or more persons are picked out from the infrared picture, and representative points of the human-areas, the number of human-areas, the number of pixels in each of the human-areas and shapes of the human-areas are extracted as the personal characteristic data. Also, the number of persons in each of the human-areas, foot positions of the persons, person's postures, skin temperatures of the persons and the volume of person's clothes are detected as the personal information according to the personal and environmental characteristic data.

In making a contact determination between an object and a display screen, a display apparatus of the present invention is capable of adjusting a region on which to make a contact determination in response to the displayed image in a liquid crystal panel, so that the influence by the displayed image can be suppressed. Moreover, for simplifying the contact determination process, the display apparatus sets solid a region in the picked-up image that is not a target of the contact determination, with a predetermined gradation value.

A liquid crystal panel brightness controller notifies a backlight controller that an illuminance of ambient light is equal to or less than a threshold value. Upon notification, the backlight controller causes invisible light emitted, for example. The invisible light passes through a liquid crystal panel and is reflected by an imaging target and is received by photosensors. Accordingly, the decrease in the amount of the visible light received by photosensors is compensated. As a result, an image with a high S/N ratio is obtained.

In a display device, an object approaching a display unit is detected by referring to an image picked up by the display unit. An alternating current drive circuit drives an alternating current signal to the display unit, so that a detection circuit detects an amplitude change or a phase shift. Alternatively, a liquid crystal panel is vibrated at a predetermined frequency, so that the strength of the frequency of the vibration sound is detected. This makes it possible to more accurately detect the timing when the object touches the display unit.

In order to reduce a field-through voltage generated by switching elements, and to decrease a difference between the field-through voltages generated by the respective switching elements arranged on the same scanning line, a negative charge, which is leaked when an input switching element SWa is changed from ON to OFF, is cancelled by using a positive charge discharged by changing a field-through compensation switch from ON to OFF.
摘要:
Two unshielded photosensors to determine the outside-light illuminance and two shielded photosensors are placed alternating both in the longitudinal direction and in the lateral direction. Then, the difference between the output of the unshielded photosensors and the output of the shielded photosensors is obtained. Accordingly, even when the thermoelectric currents differ from each other due to a variation in characteristics between the elements and a difference in the thermal distribution between the elements, the sensor currents can be corrected, so that a photodetector circuit which stably determines the outside-light illuminance can be provided.

A first swash plate 18 is coupled to a drive shaft 16 to be rotatable integrally with the drive shaft 16. Single head pistons 23 are coupled to the first swash plate 18 via shoes 25A, 25B. Rotation of the drive shaft 16 rotates the first swash plate 18, which causes the pistons 23 to reciprocate and compress refrigerant gas. The first swash plate 18 supports an annular second swash plate 51 to be rotatable relative to the first swash plate 18 via a ball bearing 52. The second swash plate 51 is arranged between the first swash plate 18and the shoes 25B that receive a compressive load to be slidable with respect to the first swash plate 18 and the shoes 25B. Therefore, the first swash plate reliably slides with respect to the second swash plate.

Disclosed is an intermediate transfer recording medium for use in a method which comprises the steps of: forming an image using the intermediate transfer recording medium on an object; and forming a protective layer on the image. In this case, fastness properties can be fully imparted to the image, the protective layer can be transferred onto the image with high accuracy in a simple manner, blocking and the like attributable to the exposure of a pressure-sensitive adhesive do not take place, and the design and the fastness properties are excellent. An image forming method using the intermediate transfer recording medium is also disclosed. The intermediate transfer recording medium 1 comprises: a sheet substrate 4 provided with a resin layer 5; and a transparent sheet 2 provided with a receptive layer 3, the transparent sheet 2 provided with the receptive layer 3 having been put on top of the sheet substrate 4 provided with the resin layer 5 so that the resin layer 5 faces the transparent sheet 2 on its side remote from the receptive layer 3, the resin layer 5 being separable from the transparent sheet 2 to transfer the transparent sheet 2 provided with a receptive layer 3 onto an object, the transparent sheet 2 portion provided with the receptive layer 3 having been half cut (8) in a specific shape and in a predetermined width around the outer periphery of the region 7 to be transferred onto the object. A transfer image is formed on the receptive layer, and the portion with the image formed thereon is re-transferred onto an object to form an image on the object.

A thermal transfer sheet is provided that can yield thermally transferred images, which possess excellent various fastness or resistance properties even under severe service conditions, and comprises a transferable protective layer having good transferability. In a thermal transfer sheet comprising a substrate sheet and a thermally transferable protective layer on the substrate sheet, the thermally transferable protective layer comprises a scratch-resistant layer which is repeatedly provided one by one for each picture plane unit in the thermal transfer sheet. An area of the scratch-resistant layer for each picture plane unit is smaller than an area of an object in its transfer surface. By virtue of this construction, at the time of the transfer of a protective layer onto an object, layer cutting does not occur within the scratch-resistant layer but within other layer (such as peel layer or adhesive layer), and, consequently, the protective layer can be transferred with good transferability.

A link mechanism provided between a lug plate and a cam plate in a variable displacement compressor includes a first transmitting portion for transmitting rotation of a lug plate to a cam plate and a second transmitting portion for transmitting compression reactive force from the cam plate to the lug plate, which are arranged along a rotational direction of the drive shaft. The first transmitting portion includes a first transmitting surface and a first receiving surface. The link mechanism also includes a movement restrictor arranged between the first and second transmitting portions. The movement restrictor includes a restricting surface formed in the lug plate and a restricted surface formed in the cam plate and restricts the first receiving surface to move away from the first transmitting surface in the rotational direction of the drive shaft in such a manner that the restricted surface comes into contact with the restricting surface.
