PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adequately apply an ellipse regardless of precision in extracting a foreground area. SOLUTION: A head detecting device is provided with; a foreground-extracting part which extracts a foreground area, in which an image of a person is picked up, from an inputted image; a first main axis computation part which has a first moment computation part which computes a moment around the gravity center of the foreground area and computes a main axis of the foreground area based on the moment around the gravity center of the foreground area; a head computing part which computes a head-part area included as a part of the foreground area based on the main axis and shape of the foreground area; and an ellipse determination part which determines an ellipse to be applied to the head of the person based on the shape of the head area.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To modify a frequency of a video clock, without affecting the quality of display. SOLUTION: A method to decrease the video clock frequency includes steps of: detecting momentum for lowering the video clock frequency; lowering the video clock frequency within a range in which a circuit using the video clock, such as a PLL (Phase-Locked Loop) circuit can track the frequency fluctuation; and repeating the step for lowering the video clock frequency, until the video clock frequency modified with the step reaches a predefined frequency.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To change the frequency of a video clock so as not to affect display quality by providing a step of lowering the frequency of the video clock and a step of repeating this step until the changed frequency of the video clock becomes a prescribed frequency. SOLUTION: First of all, the timing to change the frequency of the video clock (Vclk) is detected (S110). Next, it is judged from the name of an application on a window displayed on a screen whether the frequency of Vclk is changed or not (S120). Next, when changing the frequency of Vclk, there are the cases of increasing and decreasing the frequency and corresponding to the cases, processing is made different (S130). Therefore, it is reported to a user to lower the frequency of Vclk (S140). Then, processing for actually lowering the frequency of Vclk is executed (S150), it is judged whether or not processing is finished and when not finished, it is returned to S110 again (S170).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily attach/detach and move a device by transmitting a connection request packet containing self-identification information in response to the reception of a packet showing connection permission from a first radio equipment, receiving a connection permission packet and setting it through the use of path information in accordance with the reception of the packet which is not reception-designated. SOLUTION: When the reading of data is instructed from a computer 1, a USB controller 33 outputs a USB packet containing necessary data to USB 31 and a USB interface unit B27 receives it. A control unit M25 controls the transmitter of a radio transmitter/receiver B23 so that it transmits the radio packet of an appropriate system. The receiver of a radio transmitter/receiver A21 receiving the radio packet containing data from a device 7 informs a control unit A17 of the reception of data and stores data in a buffer 19.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable clicking operation, etc., without making a shake even when operation is done in a groping way by providing a space between a stick and an in-horizontal-plane vector detecting mechanism and forming a physical dead zone of this space. SOLUTION: The upper end of the stick 1 rotates the joint part between a microswitch 9 and a fitting surface 7 as a fulcrum. The space from this stick 1 to a ring 3 is the physical provided dead zone. When the upper end of the stick 1 is slanted more, it comes into contact with the inside 3a of the ring 3. When the upper end of the stick 1 is further slanted, the force applied to the stick 1 in the slanting direction is applied to the ring 3. This force applied to the ring 3 is detected as strain by a sensor 11 fitted to a column 5 through the column 5. The output of the sensor 11 is converted into a signal of the direction and strength of the force. Thus, when the force is applied to the stick 1 exceeding the physical dead zone, the user feels physical response on fingers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the follow-up performance of an adaptive equalizing process while reducing the calculation quantity. SOLUTION: A frame is generated which includes a training sequence 100 and a mixed data sequence obtained by inserting symbols 120a-120d of a sequence made white so that they are scattered in data sequences 110a-110e. The frame is converted into a radio signal, which is sent out. The radio signal of the frame is received. With the training sequence 100 in the frame, a tap coefficient of an equalizer is set. During the reception of the mixed data sequence, an adaptive process is performed by using the symbols 120a-120d of the sequence, made white, in the frame to update the tap coefficient of the equalizer.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To smoothly send data of different priority levels by sending the 2nd data having higher priority than the 1st data with an asynchronous interruption secured against the transmission of the 1st data. CONSTITUTION: The priority is previously given to every command, and a packet data processing part 30 outputs in sequence corresponding packet data based on each command priority when it must simultaneously transmit plural commands of different contents. An interruption sequencer 46 outputs above level data inputted from a non-packet data processing part 32 to an output part 44 as interruption data and also notifies a control part 48 of this output of the interruption data. The part 44 outputs the interruption data received from the sequencer 46 to a photoelectric conversion assembly 24 with preference. Thus, the above level data acquired by a primary system through the bus arbitration are sent to a secondary system.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically distinguish a simplifiable part of system representation by a quantitative reference, in a modeling tool for a design. SOLUTION: An expression is extracted from a block of SysML, or a block diagram of Simulink (R) is converted into a differential equation, and a coefficient thereof is expanded in a series. First, the differential equation is normally solved by a CAS, and preferably, a solution thereof is also expanded in a series. Next, the expression including the differential equation is solved by the CAS as an interval coefficient by interval analysis technique. Coefficient vectors of the stored solution obtained by performing the normal solution and the solution of a result of the interval analysis are compared. As a result, when an inter-vector distance is a fixed value or below, a target coefficient is set to zero, and the expression including the differential equation is solved by the CAS. The coefficient vectors of the stored solution obtained by performing the normal solution and the solution of the result are newly compared. As a result, when the inter-vector distance is the fixed value or below, a term of the target coefficient is dropped from the differential equation to simplify the differential equation.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a finger touch-type input selection device 10 which is mounted even to the small space of a clock-type information terminal 80 or the like without trouble and provides sufficient selecting-operation efficiency for the input object. SOLUTION: In the first correspondence, the finger touch-type input selection device 10 is divided into units L1 in an extending direction and all HIRAGANA (cursive form of Japanese syllabary) are allocated to respective units in the order of Japanese syllabary. A user touches a unit corresponding to desired HIRAGANA in the first correspondence with a finger. Then, the finger touch- type input selection device 10 is switched to the second correspondence. In the second correspondence, the finger touch-type input selection device 10 is divided into L2s which is properly larger than L1 in the extending direction. HIRAGANA is allocated to the enlarged divided units. HIRAGANA corresponding to a touch start position in the first correspondence is kept in the same position on the finger touch-type input selection device 10 even in the second correspondence. When the finger is slid to a target HIRAGANA on the finger touch-type input selection device 10 and then released, the target HIRAGANA is inputted.
