Abstract:
The invention arranges an auxiliary antenna (32) in the neighborhood of an antenna (31), and a voltage applied to the auxiliary antenna (32) is changed based on the reception quality of a received signal received by the antenna (31). Thereby, the reception characteristic of the antenna (31) is changed. Moreover, the optimum antenna is selected among a plurality of arranged antennas (31a, 31b) based on the reception quality of the received signals received by the plurality of arranged antennas (31a, 31b).
Abstract:
When a first DMA unit and a second DMA unit transfer image data in a memory to be divided into units composed of a plurality of lines, a transfer number of lines for an enlargement section is controlled for each unit on the basis of a magnification of an image which has been set. Even if any magnification is set, the number of output lines of a second reduction section can always be made coincident with a number of lines specified in a JPEG encoder. In addition, there is no need for providing an additional circuit configuration such as a buffer memory in the second reduction section in order to match number of lines each other.
Abstract:
An electronic camera comprises search means for sequentially capturing and analyzing a monitor image for an object and for sequentially determining whether or not a figure of a specified form representing a print/picture image is included in the monitor image, and memory means, responsive to determination that the figure is included in the monitor image, for storing the monitor image including the figure as a candidate for the print/picture image. The recognition rate of characters in a stored monitor image is used as a quality metric of the stored image. Another quality metric is the size of a while rectemgle in the image.
Abstract:
Two display panels (10m, 10s) each have a plurality of scanning lines and a plurality of signal lines with display pixels situated near each intersection point of each scanning line and signal line. A common electrode is situated in common with each of the display pixels and the display panels have a predetermined numbers of the scanning lines respectively. While repeating alternately between each of the display panels (10m, 10s) in a display period within a one frame period, an operation sequentially selects a number of the scanning lines of each of these display panel in turn in each display period corresponding to the ratio of the numbers of the scanning lines in each of these display panels at predetermined scan timing. Reversal control of the signal polarity of each common signal voltage is applied to the common electrode of each display panel (10m, 10s) in order that reversal drive of each display panel is performed for every scanning line and every frame period.

The gain storage memory includes a first gain table for storing gains for an R amplifier and a B amplifier of the first gain controller circuit; and a second gain table for storing gains for an R amplifier and a B amplifier of the second gain controller circuit, during auto white balance control using light emission of a strobe. The gains of the second gain table are sequentially set to the second gain controller circuit to carry out white detection. Based on a result of the detection, a gain to be set to the first gain controller circuit is selected from the first gain table, and the selected gain is set to the first gain controller circuit.

Abstract:
Each of a horizontal chart generating unit (26) and a vertical chart generating unit (27) generate eight charts #0 to #7, the bright/dark sections being placed sequentially in equal distances. Each pattern of each charts #0 to #7, is shifted little by little. Each chart #0 to #7 is sequentially projected on a ascreen (2), and each of the sensor controllers (32A, 32B) obtains an average phase difference, by obtaining the sensor data obtained by the result of measuring, from the distance-measuring sensors (31A, 31B), and obtains the angle between an ideal screen that is vertical to a center line of distance-measuring sensors(31A, 31B) and the screen (2), by obtaining the distance to the two distance-measuring points on the screen (2), based on the obtained average phase difference. A projector control unit (13) replaces the angles that each of the sensor controllers (32A, 32B) obtains, to inclination angles θH and θV of the screen (2),and supplies the angles to a trapezoidal correction unit (22).
