摘要:
There are provided an image coding method and apparatus and image compression method and apparatus which can properly compress a color document image with a high compression efficiency. First of all, a color reduction processing unit (102) converts each pixel of a color document image into an index assigned in correspondence with a color value, and generates color information (103) containing the number of pixels for each indexed color and an index color image (104). A color information sort unit (105) and the like determine, for example, a color value corresponding to an index of the maximum number of pixels as a background color. An order determination unit (113) determines an order. A binary image generation compression unit (109) generates a partial binary image for each index and compresses the binary image according to the order. A data integrating unit (111) generates compressed image (112) by integrating background data (108) and the compressed data of the partial binary image.

An information processing apparatus configured to create a schedule to be presented to a user includes an estimation unit and a creation unit. The estimation unit is configured to estimate whether or not the user acts in accordance with a first schedule including a task to do for accomplishing a preset aim. The creation unit is configured to create, when estimated that the user does not act in accordance with the first schedule, a new second schedule for accomplishing the aim from a state of the user who acts without following the first schedule.

Provided is a wavelength selective switch, which includes: an input/output unit; a dispersive portion; a condensing optical system; and the deflection portion. The input/output unit has input/output ports. The dispersive portion disperses signal light incident from the input/output ports. The condensing optical system condenses a plurality of signal light beams dispersed by the dispersive portion. The deflection portion has a plurality of deflection elements. The deflection elements deflect, along a second direction, the signal light beams condensed by the condensing optical system. In the condensing optical system, the aberration amount of the meridional component in a sagittal coma aberration remains substantially constant irrespective of an angle formed between the optical axis of the condensing optical system and a signal light beam incident on the condensing optical system from the input/output portion, at an incident position of the incident signal light beam at a certain height in the second direction.

An ebullient cooling device having a simple structure and capable of limiting the bubbles to an appropriate volume. The ebullient cooling device for cooling a heat generating element is provided with a plurality of vertically arranged cooling channels comprising a lower channel (2), a middle channel (3) and un upper channel (4). Each cooling channel has cooling fins (12) for guiding a refrigerant to flow in a vertical direction, and a vapor discharge path (16) formed at the side of the cooling fins (12) that is opposite the side in contact with the heat generating element. Furthermore, flow path partition/vapor discharge guiding plates (18) are provided between the cooling channels so that the bubbles that have been generated are guided to the vapor discharge path (16) and prevented from moving into the subsequent cooling channel.

Disclosed is a procedure or design approach for functional modules that may be used in connection with a multiprocessor integrated circuit chip. The approach includes keeping the dimensions of each module substantially the same and having the bus, power, clock and I/O connection configured the same on all modules. Further requirements for ease of use are to generalize the capability of each module as much as possible and to decentralize functions such as testing to be primarily performed within each module. The use of such considerations or rules substantially eases the design of a given type of custom chips, and based upon an initial chip design greatly facilitates the design of further custom chips, similar in application, but subsequent to the successful completion of the initial chip. The standardization modules and replication of the modules on a given chip also reduces physical verification time in initial chip design as well as redesign time of the initial chip when requirements for chip capability are redefined or otherwise changed. Any subsequent or further custom chips can include more or less of specific modules based upon already established parameters.

摘要:
The thermal printer of the present invention is a thermal printer for printing on a print medium by thermally transferring an ink ribbon by means of a thermal head, wherein the thermal printer comprises a density controller for keeping the print density of the thermal head low in low-temperature control for raising the print density at low temperatures. The density controller comprises a density calculator for calculating a density evaluation value by finding an average gradation value of print data for each of a plurality of dots included in the predetermined region, a comparator for comparing the calculated density evaluation value with a predetermined value, and an adjuster for adjusting, on the basis of this comparison result, the print density in driving and printing with the thermal head to a low value for print data of high gradation exceeding a predetermined gradation value in print data on a printed line when the density evaluation value exceeds a predetermined value. The printing of each dot by the thermal head is controlled on the basis of the adjusted print density. Even if low temperature control is carried out by the thermal head when the ambient temperature is low, the occurrence of ink ribbon wrinkling due to the effect of print density is suppressed.
