  • Patent number: 8930757
    Abstract: A correlation model is updated quickly in the case that monitored metrics are changed. The correlation model storing unit 112 stores a first correlation model including a correlation detected for a pair of metrics in first plural metrics. The correlation model updating unit 103, in the case that a metric is added, judges existence of a correlation for each of pairs of metrics obtained by excluding the pair of metrics in first plural metrics from pairs of metrics in second plural metrics including the added metric and the first plural metrics, and generates a second correlation model by adding the detected correlation to the first correlation model.

    Abstract: A correlation mode is updated quickly in the case that monitored metrics arc changed. The correlation model storing unit 112 stores a first correlation model including a correlation detected for a pair of metrics in first plural metrics. The correlation model updating unit 103, in the case that a metric is added, judges existence of a correlation for each of pairs of metrics obtained by excluding the pair of metrics in first plural metrics from pairs of metrics in second plural metrics including the added metric and the first plural metrics, and generates a second correlation model by adding the detected correlation to the first correlation model.

  • Patent number: 8384639
    Abstract: A drive circuit of a liquid crystal display device performs line inversion drive based on a correction video signal V. A look-up table (12) includes two types of tables having stored therein correction values for use in overshoot drive. Based on a current-frame video signal X, a previous-frame video signal Y stored in a frame memory (11), and a polarity-reversing signal REV, a correction process portion (13) reads a correction value from the look-up table (12), and outputs the correction value being read as the correction video signal V. In such a manner, a correcting circuit (10) is used to control the degree of overshoot in accordance with the polarity-reversing signal REV. Thus, it is possible to suitably control the change in pixel brightness regardless of the polarity of the applied voltage, thereby preventing any fringes from being generated while displaying moving images.

    Abstract: This invention provides a waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric which prevents to lower in a water pressure resistance, repetitively washed. The waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric consists of a body of a fabric and a microporous film of mainly polyurethane which is laid on the body. The microporous film contains 1 to 9 mass % of fluorinated water repellent agent, 0.1 to 2 mass % of oil-soluble fluorinated surfactant and if necessary 3 to 45 mass % of fine silica powders. The waterproof and moisture-permeable fabric is obtained by the following method. After coating a resin compound on the surface of the body, the resin compound is dipped in a coagulating bath to form the microporous film. The resin compound dissolves or disperses mainly polyurethane, 1 to 9 mass % of fluorinated water repellent agent, 0.1 to 2 mass % of oil-soluble fluorinated surfactant and if necessary 3 to 45 mass % of fine silica powders in N,N-dimethylformamide.

  • Patent number: 7978164
    Abstract: A control section (6) merely passes an incoming image data signal DAT onto a source driving section for display driving during the display of a still image. During the display of a moving image, the control section (6) converts, using a computing section (61) and a look-up table (5), a grayscale level signal in the incoming image data signal DAT to a grayscale level signal that is obtainable without using those application voltages at which the response speed of liquid crystal is slow. The control section (6) then outputs the resultant grayscale level signal to the source driving section for display driving.
