Abstract:
When a home appliance equipped with a processor implementing a conventional JVM with a JIT compiler executes uncompiled methods, the execution speed is slower because the methods are compiled at runtime. To suppress the execution speed reduction, a program execution control device judges, on invocation of a method during program execution, whether a method invoked has previously been compiled. If the method is uncompiled, the device executes the method by interpreting associated bytecodes, and also issues a compilation request for the method. If the method is compiled, the device executes native code having been generated by compiling the method. Compilation of a method requested is executed as a separate task from tasks of instruction execution such as interpreter execution or native code execution.
Abstract:
An occupant detection apparatus can include a photographing device disposed to face to a vehicle rear seat for taking three-dimensional images; an information extracting section which extracts image information corresponding to an upper area of a seat of the rear seat from three-dimensional images taken by the photographing device; a division processing section which divides information extracted by the information extracting section into areas relating to respective sitting areas for occupants sitting in the rear seat; and a derivation processing section which derives, with regard to histogram showing frequency distribution of picture elements relative to distances from the photographing device, a first histogram corresponding to image information divided by the division processing section and also derives a difference histogram by deriving a second histogram from the derived first histogram, and thus derives information about each rear-seat occupant in each sitting area of said vehicle rear seat based on the difference histogram.
Abstract:
With the aim of offering a video display technique by which stable and high contrast video images are reproduced, contrast adjusting circuitry is constructed. The contrast adjusting circuitry detects a maximum picture level (MPL) and an average picture level (APL) of analog -to-dialog converted luminance signals for a predetermined period, determines one of the predefined luminance regions within which the MPL falls and one of the predefined luminance regions within which the APL falls, and, based on the thus determined luminance regions of both MPL and APL, carries out a contrast adjustment of video images by changing the gain of luminance signals and color depth correction by changing the gain of color signals.
Abstract:
The refrigerator includes the following parts. A heat-insulating main body has openings in a front side. A divider creates a first storage compartment and a second storage compartment, by dividing inside of said heat-insulating main body into the first storage compartment and the second storage compartment arranged side by side. A lighting unit, located close to at least one of the openings of the first and second storage compartments, respectively, each of which has a light-emitting diode as a light source.
Abstract:
A system provides an image displaying technique that provides stable high contrast even in an area having high brightness. Based on information about an average brightness level of a digital luminance signal, black-correction processing which decreases a brightness level by offsetting the brightness level to the minus side, and increase processing which increases a contrast gain within a dynamic range, are performed for an analog luminance signal or a digital luminance signal, enabling improvement in contrast even where brightness is intense.
Abstract:
A fundus camera includes an illumination unit to illuminate an ocular fundus of a subject's eye, an autofluorescent exciter filter insertable into and retractable from an illumination optical path of the illumination unit, an observation and photographing unit to receive reflection light from the ocular fundus illuminated by the illumination unit and form an ocular fundus image, an autofluorescent barrier filter insertable into and retractable from an observation and photographing optical path, an image capturing unit to capture an ocular fundus image, and a calculation unit to calculate image data, wherein the calculation unit converts the ocular fundus image which is illuminated using the autofluorescent exciter filter and captured by a color image capturing unit as a color image, in a state that no autofluorescent barrier filter is inserted into the observation and photographing unit, into a monochromatic image from specific color data of each of the pixels.

Abstract:
An object struck discrimination system for a vehicle is provided which is effective in increasing the discrimination accuracy for discriminating an object struck by the vehicle. In one form, an object struck discrimination system to be installed in a vehicle includes an impact receiving member for receiving an impact from an object struck which extends lengthwise along the width of the vehicle, a detection sensor for detecting the moving speed and/or the acceleration of the impact receiving member during a vehicle collision, and a control unit for deriving the maximum moving speed and the maximum acceleration based on the information detected by the detection sensor and discriminating the object struck based on the correlation between the maximum moving speed and the maximum acceleration.

Abstract:
A camera module includes a module structure constituted by a lens unit to which an image pickup lens is attached and a package to which an imaging element is attached so as to be opposite to the image pickup lens. An optical filter is arranged between the imaging element and the image pickup lens. A portion of a flat surface of the optical filter is fixed to a filter fixing portion via an adhesive. The optical filter is adhered to the filter fixing portion in a state in which an end portion formed by a side surface of the optical filter and the flat surface is in noncontact with the filter fixing portion or the adhesive. Minute particles generated from a cut surface of the optical filter fall outside the filter fixing portion.
