20090323132 | IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS, METHOD OF IMAGE PROCESSING, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - Input image data is converted into a brightness component to obtain a difference between the brightness component and a threshold. A count variation is determined based on the obtained difference, and the counter is used to follow up and change the threshold. The threshold obtained by the follow-up and change is used to execute a background color removal process in each pixel by executing a signal conversion process. | 12-31-2009 |
20100302361 | SIGN RECOGNITION DEVICE - A sign recognition device includes a sign effective range data recording unit for prestoring effective range conditions shown by a sign and an auxiliary sign, a sign recognition unit for recognizing a sign and an auxiliary sign by using a captured image of a roadway in front of a vehicle, a vehicle information acquiring unit for acquiring vehicle information, a map information acquiring unit for acquiring map information about a map of an area surrounding the vehicle, and a sign effective range determining unit for determining whether or not the vehicle is staying in the effective range specified with the sign and the auxiliary sign which have been recognized by the sign recognition unit by using the effective range conditions stored in the sign effective range data recording unit, the vehicle information, and the map information. | 12-02-2010 |
20110314664 | PRESSURE-LOSS ADJUSTING-MEMBER INSTALLATION TOOL - [Problem to be Solved] To provide a pressure-loss adjusting-member installation tool that can install a number of pressure-loss adjusting members at desired positions easily. | 12-29-2011 |
20110317799 | PRESSURE-LOSS ADJUSTING MEMBER AND REACTOR - [Problem to be Solved] To easily distribute a flow rate of a primary coolant to fuel assemblies. | 12-29-2011 |
20120014494 | PRESSURE-LOSS ADJUSTING MEMBER REACTOR - [Problem to be Solved] To suppress problems due to a flow of a primary coolant while easily distributing a flow rate of the primary coolant to fuel assemblies. | 01-19-2012 |
20120066240 | FACILITY SEARCH DEVICE - A facility search device includes: a facility information storage unit that stores facility information; an additional information storage unit that stores additional facility information; a facility search unit that searches for facilities from the facility information and the additional facility information; a sameness determination unit that determines the sameness of facilities based on identifiers contained in the facility information on each of the facilities when the plurality of facilities are searched for by the facility search unit; a facility information synthesis unit that synthesizes the facility information on the facilities determined to be the same by the sameness determination unit among the searched facilities; a display image generation unit that generates images for displaying the searched facilities or the facilities synthesized by the facility information synthesis unit; and a display unit that displays the images generated by the display image generation unit. | 03-15-2012 |
20120191102 | MEDICINE INJECTION DEVICE AND METHOD - A medicine injection device includes a medicine ejection unit having a fluid flow-in port for receiving liquid, and a pressure generation unit which includes a pressure generating chamber to generate pressure acting upon a working chamber of the medicine ejection unit through the liquid and which ejects medicine by moving a gasket based on the applied pressure. The pressure generation unit includes a pressure portion cylinder in the pressure generating chamber, a first pusher provided with a hollow gasket defining the inner volume of the pressure generating chamber and a second pusher which generates the pressure inside the pressure generating chamber by pressing a distal end head portion into the inside of the pressure generating chamber. The pressure portion cylinder and the first pusher are coupled through an engagement mechanism in which fixation and fixation release are possible at different pitches in the axial direction. | 07-26-2012 |
20120229376 | INPUT DEVICE - An input device displays a screen including character input buttons to each of which characters are assigned, and each of which specifies one character assigned thereto, as a character to be inputted, according to the number of times that a selection operation is performed thereon, and display area B in which a character to be inputted specified through a selection operation performed on the character input buttons is displayed in order on a display device, specifies candidate characters each of which can be inputted to follow a character string being inputted and displayed in the display area B from the character strings of words each including the character string being inputted, and, when a character to be inputted which is specified to follow the character string is not included in the candidate characters, tones down and displays the character to be inputted immediately after the character string. | 09-13-2012 |
20120254216 | INPUT SUPPORT DEVICE - An input support device, including: a keyword dictionary for storing a keyword including one or more words; a candidate search mechanism searching entries within the keyword dictionary by using a search key including one or more words specified based on a user operation; a presentation candidate generation mechanism generating a presentation candidate list based on search results from the candidate search mechanism by extracting a word break mismatching presentation candidate from the keywords whose word break does not match that of the specified search key including the one or more words and which start with the specified search key including the one or more words; and a candidate display displaying the presentation candidate list generated by the presentation candidate generation mechanism. | 10-04-2012 |
20130226990 | INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM AND INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE - There is provided: a user input unit | 08-29-2013 |
20130311933 | CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE AND CAR NAVIGATION DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE - A character input device provides a function of deleting an unconfirmed inputted character which the user is currently inputting, and a function of changing a confirmed character string to an unconfirmed state to a single correction key. Therefore, the character input device enables the user to carry out a character input efficiently by using limited space without requiring an excessive operation and arrangement of a new key for reconversion. Further, because the character input device holds the information on confirmed character strings even after all the character strings have been confirmed, the character input device enables the user to arbitrarily select a character string which the user wants to correct at any time, and re-edit only the portion. | 11-21-2013 |
