20110050136Driving apparatus for a vehicle-mounted electric motor - An inverter circuit for a motor outputs three-phase AC currents, which are outputted from common connection points to stator coils, based on output voltage of a DC power source and a power supply capacitor by a switching operation of transistors. An inverter control circuit determines that a system main relay is turned off, upon receiving a main relay-off signal from an electronic control unit. The inverter control circuit turns on the low-side transistors, while turning off the high-side transistors. A discharge current flows from the positive electrode to the negative electrode of the power supply capacitor through the stator coil and the low-side transistors, so that electric charge stored in the power supply capacitor is discharged.03-03-2011

20090110077IMAGE CODING DEVICE, IMAGE CODING METHOD, AND IMAGE CODING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - When compression encoding processing of an image is performed in units of macroblocks using pipeline structure, application of the skip mode or the like according to MPEG4AVC to compression encode an encoding target block requires motion vectors and the like of adjacent blocks of the encoding target block. However, depending on the structure of the pipeline stages, the motion vectors and the like may not be determined. In such cases, the skip mode cannot be applied to compression encode the encoding target block. The present invention aims to solve this problem and (i) calculates all motion information candidates, of the encoding target block, corresponding to all motion information selectable by a previous block of the encoding target block, and (ii) selects, as the motion information of the encoding target block in the skip mode, the motion information corresponding to the motion information determined for the previous block.04-30-2009

20120087413VIDEO DECODING DEVICE, VIDEO DECODING METHOD, VIDEO DECODING PROGRAM, AND VIDEO DECODING INTEGRATED CIRCUIT - With use of a simplified program or calculating device for motion compensation, a video decoding device decodes video data compressed by motion detection operations on macroblock units, as in the MPEG-4AVC standard. The video decoding device splits compressed data blocks of the prescribed size, 16×16 pixels for instance, to generate sub-blocks, which are smaller than the blocks and on which the video decoding device is able to execute motion compensation operations. The video decoding device duplicates a motion vector assigned to a given block to generate as many motion vectors as there are sub-blocks in the given block, and executes motion compensation on each sub-block using the corresponding duplicate motion vector. Data resulting from the motion compensation operation on each sub-block is combined to obtain a target block corresponding to the given block.04-12-2012
