    摘要: A movement control system useful for an apparatus comprising a movable member movable between two positions, a motor and a sensor device for producing an output value which changes during the movement of the movable member. The control system drives the motor in a first amount so as to move the movable member from one of the two positions to the other position and thereafter drives the motor in a second amount to move the movable member toward said one position when the output value of the sensor device remains unchanged. When the sensor device produces a changed output value, the system drives the motor in a third amount to move the movable member toward said one position. Subsequently, the system drives the motor in a fourth amount when the output value of the sensor device is different from the output value before the motor is driven in the first amount, so as to move the movable member toward said other position. The system drives the motor in the second amount when the output values are the same so as to move the movable member toward said one position.

    摘要: In image signal processing, the color saturation values of image signals are accumulated within each of a plurality of color saturation calculation regions by a color saturation accumulator circuit 13, and the image signals obtained in a color saturation calculation region in which the result of the color saturation value accumulation thus performed by the color saturation accumulator circuit 13 is low are accumulated for each of image signal types C1 to C4 by an image signal accumulator circuit 14. Based on the results of this accumulation performed for each of the image signal types C1 to C4, constants with which to counterbalance the amounts of light transmitted for the image signals C1 to C4 are determined and fed to a transmitted light amount corrector circuit 1. Moreover, based on the results of the color saturation value accumulation performed for each color saturation calculation region by the color saturation accumulator circuit 13, weight factors are determined and fed to a luminance signal generator circuit 6. The luminance signal generator circuit 6 receives, through a VLPF 4, the image signals for which the amounts of light transmitted have been counterbalanced by the transmitted light amount corrector circuit 1, and also receives image signals produced by smoothing the image signals obtained from one set of a plurality of adjacent pixels after another through the VLPF4 and an HLPF 5. The luminance signal generator circuit 6 produces luminance signals by adding together these signals with the weight factors assigned thereto.
