| 20080297252 | DIFFERENTIAL SIGNAL GENERATOR CIRCUIT - A differential signal generator circuit includes: a first amplifier for comparing an input signal with a threshold voltage and outputting differential signals; and a second amplifier for adjusting the threshold voltage in response to the differential signals. The second amplifier includes: a first transistor and a second transistor forming a differential pair, the gate of each transistor receiving a respective one of the differential signals; a third transistor and a fourth transistor forming a current mirror, the third transistor being connected between the drain of the first transistor and a reference potential point, the fourth transistor being connected between the drain of the second transistor and the reference potential point; a current source connected to the sources of the first and second transistors; and an adjusting section for adjusting drain current of the first transistor in response to an externally applied current or voltage. The threshold voltage is adjusted in response to drain voltage of the second transistor. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20090263102 | Video Content Reproducing Apparatus and Video Content Reproducing Method - An apparatus that, when reproducing video content that cannot be displayed normally, executes downconverted reproduction or notifies the user to avoid displeasing or upsetting the user, having a decoder block ( | 10-22-2009 |
| 20100098389 | VIDEO REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND METHOD - In a reproducing apparatus capable of displaying text subtitles in synchronization with an AV stream, before the AV stream is reproduced, text subtitle streams and font information are read into a preload buffer section ( | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100167592 | CONNECTOR - A connector in which contact between a circuit board and a card-type electronic device is made less liable to be unstable, even when the connector is subject to a shock. One ( | 07-01-2010 |
| 20110013882 | VIDEO AUDIO RECORDING/PLAYBACK APPARATUS AND METHOD - During video audio recording, key frames are temporarily stored from the video audio stream to be recorded, and metadata is later generated from the temporarily stored key frames. Even if a CPU or system configuration of a relatively low performance is used, metadata generation can be carried out in parallel with the video recording operation. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20110044664 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO CONVERSION RECORDING DEVICE, THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO CONVERSION RECORDING METHOD, RECORDING MEDIUM, THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO CONVERSION DEVICE, AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL VIDEO TRANSMISSION DEVICE - A three-dimensional video conversion recording device capable of recording three-dimensional video data on a recording medium after reducing data amount thereof, includes a separating unit for separating an inputted three-dimensional video stream into a plurality of video streams, a decoding unit for decoding at least one of the plurality of separated video streams, a frame thinning unit for reducing data amount of the decoded video stream, an encoding unit for encoding the video stream whose data amount is reduced, a multiplexing unit for multiplexing other video streams which are video streams other than the video stream inputted to the decoding unit out of the plurality of separated video streams and the encoded video stream, and a recording unit for recording the multiplexed video data on a recording medium. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110141248 | STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO VIEWING LIMITER AND LIMITATION METHOD, STEREOSCOPIC VIDEO VIEWING LIMITATION NOTIFYING DEVICE AND METHOD, VIDEO VIEWING APPARATUS AND METHOD, AND VIDEO VIEWING SYSTEM - A stereoscopic video viewing limiter extracts factor information related to different factors affecting a viewer of a stereoscopic video display from a video signal, generates corresponding effect coefficients representing the degree of effect on the viewer, integrates the effect coefficients as the viewer watches the stereoscopic video image, compares the integrated values with respective thresholds determined according to the viewer's tolerances for each of the factors, and generates a viewing limitation signal when the tolerances are exceeded. The viewing limitation signal is used to limit viewing to a two-dimensional video image instead of the stereoscopic video image. When several viewers watch the same stereoscopic video display, separate viewing limitation signals are generated, tailored to the viewers' individual stereoscopic viewing tolerances, permitting each viewer to enjoy the stereoscopic video display as long as possible without adverse effects. | 06-16-2011 |
