Abstract:
An image display apparatus includes a reproduction unit, a display screen, and a display control unit. The reproduction unit reproduces at least a part of image data of an image content in a shorter time than a playback time of the image content. The display control unit controls the display screen to display reproduction state information indicative of a reproduction state of the image data reproduced by the reproduction unit in an associated manner with identification information to identify the image content.
Abstract:
An information record apparatus includes: a down-convert device for down-converting a first content information having a first reproduction quality recorded in a first record medium into a second content information having a second reproduction quality which is lower quality than the first reproduction quality; a first record device for recording the second content information into a second record medium; a first delete device for deleting the first content information recorded in the first record medium, if the second content information is recorded in the second record medium; and a scramble device for generating scramble information by scrambling the first content information, on the basis of a predetermined scramble key.
Abstract:
A variable vane drive device includes a movable ring disposed at an outer circumferential side of a casing of an axial-flow compressor and having an annular shape, four ring support mechanisms disposed at intervals in a circumferential direction of the movable ring and rotatably supporting the movable ring around a rotor, and a link mechanism for connecting the movable ring to a variable vane such that a direction of the variable vane is varied by rotation of the movable ring. The ring support mechanisms have inner rollers, outer rollers, and roller support bases for rotatably supporting the inner rollers and the outer rollers in a state in which the movable ring is sandwiched between the inner roller and the outer rollers.
Abstract:
A blood pressure estimation apparatus (1) is provided with: a blood pressure measuring device (11) which measures a blood pressure (BPm) of a living body every first period; a blood flow measuring device (12) which measures a blood flow volume (BF) of the living body every second period which is shorter than the first period; and a blood pressure estimating device (13) which estimates the blood pressure (BPc) every third period which is shorter than the first period, on the basis of the blood pressure which is measured by the blood pressure measuring device and the blood flow volume which is measured by the blood flow measuring device.
Abstract:
A gas turbine includes a gas turbine body in which a rotor is rotated with the energy of combustion gas produced by combustion of fuel to take out rotational energy from the rotor, an inlet casing that is attached to the gas turbine body and that guides the air to a compressor section compressing the air, an air intake chamber that is connected to the inlet casing and that guides the air taken in from the atmosphere to the gas turbine body, and a notch so formed in the air intake chamber as to cover the entire range where the rotor passes or exists when the rotor is moved.
Abstract:
An information delivery system in which in a display device (2) for displaying a first content and a second content, a user's operation to the display device is analyzed when the user views the first content and when the operation is performed to change the first content, the second content is delivered from an information delivery device (1) that receives a delivery request to the display device and displayed. Therefore, the desired second content is provided without interrupting a user's viewing and hearing of the first content.
Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus capable of easily improving the detection accuracy of a touching or proximity object is provided. An offset noise (a reset image R) is obtained by an image pickup process in a state (a reset state) in which an image pickup device is initialized. Moreover, a fingertip extraction process is performed in consideration of the offset noise on the basis of a picked-up image (a shadow image A or a display light-using image B) which is obtained by picking up an image of a proximity object to obtain object information about the proximity object. While an offset noise in the apparatus is easily reduced, object information about the proximity object can be obtained.
Abstract:
The liquid crystal display (LCD) device of the present invention includes a LCD panel and a resin-molded frame that houses the LCD panel, the LCD panel including first and second substrates, and a liquid crystal layer sandwiched between the first and second substrates. The two-dimensional shapes of the first and second substrates are rectangles having longer and shorter sides, the longer side of the first substrate being longer than that of the second substrate. The first substrate has a non-overlapping area that does not overlap with the second substrate. Among the four corners of the first substrate, the non-overlapping area of the first substrate has two corners adjacent to each other. At least one of the two corners forms a chamfered structure having a diagonal side that intersects the longer and shorter sides of the first substrate with the diagonal side inclined to the longer and shorter sides.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display device with both functions of transmission-mode display and reflection-mode display is capable of providing an improved display quality in each display mode, to thereby obtain on-screen display images of high quality in either one of the display modes. The liquid crystal display device includes a scan signal line drive circuit operable to apply a scan signal to a number of scan signal lines, an image/video signal line drive circuit which applies an image signal to a number of image signal lines, and a power supply circuit for supplying necessary voltages to the scan signal line drive circuit and image signal line drive circuit. The power supply circuit includes a counter electrode voltage generation circuit for selecting a voltage optimized for a respective display mode of the transmission mode and the reflection mode to thereby apply the selected voltage to a counter electrode.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a display apparatus including: a display panel having a display function and a light-receiving/imaging function; a first image processing section configured to generate a detection signal that indicates whether a to-be-detected object has been detected based on a result of first image processing performed on an image taken by the light-receiving/imaging function; a second image processing section configured to perform second image processing on the image processed by the first image processing section, the second image processing having a heavier processing load than the first image processing; and a control section configured to control an operation of the second image processing section in accordance with the detection signal generated by the first image processing section, and, when it is determined that the processing by the second image processing section is not necessary, control the second image processing section to enter a sleep state.
