| 20080234133 | Plant activator - An object of the present invention is to determine novel means of activating plants; more particularly, means of controlling plant growth, such as means of promoting growth, means of controlling dormancy, means of imparting tolerance against stress for plants (dryness, high or low temperatures, osmotic pressure, etc.), and means of preventing aging. The present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by providing plant activators containing, as an active ingredient, C | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090208525 | Antiaging method for skin using pleurotus abalonus - The present invention provides an antioxidant and a whitening agent having high safety, and a external preparation for skin using the same. The antioxidant and whitening agent comprise, as an effective component, one or more extracts from Basidiomycetes selected from the group consisting of | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100202027 | IMAGE READING APPARATUS - A method is provided for processing image data read from a book document placed on a platen of an image reading apparatus. The method includes determining a background pixel of the image data based on a luminance difference or a color difference between neighboring pixel arrays, identifying a shadow region based on a luminance change between the neighboring background pixel arrays, discriminatively detecting a shadow of a binding portion and a shadow of a front edge in a document region with reference to a changing direction of shadow luminance, and performing a luminance correction on the shadow region according to characteristics of the shadows. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100253709 | CORRECTION VALUE ACQUISITION METHOD, CORRECTION METHOD AND IMAGE DISPLAY APPARATUS - A first step drives a plurality of electron-emitting devices with a drive signal corresponding to a first gradation level and measures the luminance dispersion. A second step selects one or more electron-emitting devices as target devices, drives them with a drive signal corresponding to each gradation level, and measures their luminance for each gradation level. A third step drives the target devices with a drive signal having a voltage amplitude of a drive signal corresponding to each gradation level multiplied by a constant, and measures their luminance for each gradation level. Then, a correction value for each gradation level of each electron-emitting device is calculated using a luminance ratio of the luminance measured in the second step to the luminance measured in the third step, and the luminance dispersion measured in the first step. | 10-07-2010 |
| 20110025887 | CORRECTION METHOD - A correction value for luminance correction is determined by: measuring a luminance value of each of display elements by displaying a first image including luminance unevenness caused by characteristic differences among the display elements and characteristic differences among modulation circuits, and calculating a first luminance value serving as a representative luminance value of the display elements for each of the modulation circuits; measuring the luminance value of each of the display elements by displaying a second image in which the luminance unevenness caused by characteristic differences among the modulation circuits is smaller than that of the first image, and calculating a second luminance value serving as a representative luminance value of the display elements for each of the modulation circuits; and calculating a correction value corresponding to each modulation circuit using a value obtained by dividing the first luminance value by the second luminance value. | 02-03-2011 |
