Abstract:
From a moving image selected by a user, moving image information including a time length of the moving image and the number of change points of clips in the moving image is acquired. Layout data showing a design (the number, size, layout and the like of plural frame images configuring moving image) of a still image to be generated is selectively read from a memory based on the acquired moving image information. A still image in which predetermined frame images are arranged based on the layout data is generated and output. The predetermined frame images are automatically set in accordance with setting rules that are different depending on whether or not there is data concerning a highlight frame whose size is larger than that of other frame images in the layout data. The highlight frame may be also designated.
Abstract:
A fuel cell system having a fuel cell (11) which performs a power generation operation with fuel for power generation of a fuel container (20) ; a water supply control section (15) which extracts water from the fuel container (20) and supplies the water to the fuel cell (11) before the fuel cell (11) performs the power generation operation. A wet state of an electrolyte membrane in the fuel cell body is adequately maintained during system start-up (upon commencement of a power generation operation) and an electrochemical reaction related to the power generation operation is accelerated. In this manner, the fuel cell system which can adequately extract predetermined electrical energy and a fuel container (20) for power generation applicable to that fuel cell system are provided.
Abstract:
Immediately before regular image pickup, a reference image is taken through exposure control by center-weighted photometry. A histogram indicative of a luminance distribution of all pixels is generated on the basis of luminance information of the reference image. Then, a luminance point in the histogram where the accumulated number of pixels from the high-luminance side is equal to a half of the total number of pixels is obtained, and a difference is calculated between the luminance point and a luminance point ("118") when the brightness is uniform in the reference image. At the time of regular image pickup, proper exposure determined in response to the brightness of the subject when the reference image is taken is compensated with the previously calculated difference, and exposure control for the compensated proper exposure is performed. The image can thus be prevented from appearing dimmer than the actual view throughout the entire area when the center area of the subject is remarkably bright, or more glaring when the center area of the subject is remarkably dark.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus comprises an image capture device (21) which captures an image of an article, an electronic tag reader (38) which reads electronic tag information from an electronic tag, and a writing device, when the image of the article is captured by the image capture device, which causes the electronic tag reader to read electronic tag information and writes the image of the article captured by the image capture device into the electronic tag.
Abstract:
An SW control circuit (624a) turns ON and OFF a switch circuit (612a) provided between a reception antenna (611a) and an RF amplifier circuit (613a), based on a noise removal control signal (G1) which is generated by a timing generation circuit (623a) and has a constant pulse width (W) and a constant pulse interval (T), and thus the antenna is periodically short-circuited. In this way, even when the antenna receives a signal mixed with noise signals, accumulated energy due to the noise signals is periodically released, and thus the noise signals can be removed from the reception signal, and long lasting influence caused by the accumulated energy of the noise signals can be also removed.

Abstract:
Photographing at a fixed focus is executed by quickly canceling the autofocus without any labor for mode switching or the like. An image sensing apparatus includes a photographing unit (11, 12, 13) which has an autofocus function and photographs an object image, a key input unit (30) including a shutter key (9) which has two operation strokes and designates autofocus and autoexposure by operation of the first stroke and photographing by operation of the second stroke, and a focus control unit (227) which automatically sets a correct exposure value in the photographing unit (11, 12, 13), detects predetermined operation states of the first and second strokes designated by the shutter key (9), and switches and selects, on the basis of the detection result, whether to operate the autofocus function or set a fixed focus position at which a predetermined depth of field is obtained.

Abstract:
An imaging device comprises an organic EL monitor 9 for displaying an image from an image pick-up device 2. A controller 5 sets such initial values of at least one of a diaphragm amount, an exposure time, and a gain to values for causing control that the luminance level is increased toward a proper level when a power is turned on. Displaying of a through-image of only white is prevented.
