Abstract: An interframe difference processor 206 generates a difference image between frames of a sensor image, and an image processor 208 generates distance information indicating a distance to a photographic subject on the basis of calculation of a difference image and a developing pattern 1101. Thus, since a video display apparatus 101 generates the difference image between the frames of the sensor image, it is possible to realize a distance measuring apparatus capable of reducing an influence of a background and generating distance information with high accuracy.

The plurality of cell passages are configured so that a pitch of adjacent cell passages is within a range of 1.5 mm˜1.8 mm, and so that a thickness of a wall between the cell passages is within a range of 0.45 mm˜0.60 mm. With this configuration, the honeycomb adsorbent exhibits BWC (Butane Working Capacity) of 6.5 g/dL or greater. By mixing fibrous meltable core melting away during baking, the honeycomb adsorbent has macropores configured to have a volume of 0.15 mL/g˜0.35 mL/g with respect to an overall weight of the honeycomb adsorbent and metal oxide particles having a proportion of weight of 150˜250% with respect to the activated carbon.

Abstract: In a storage system for backing up data of an external apparatus, the external apparatus and a storage apparatus collaboratively perform efficient de-duplication. A storage system stores data from the external apparatus in a unit of content, and includes a backup apparatus configured to execute backup processing to create backup data of the data from the external apparatus in the unit of content; and a storage apparatus coupled to the backup apparatus in a communication-enabled manner and configured to store the backup data received from the backup apparatus. A first backup processing part of the backup apparatus determines whether or not a content is already stored in the storage apparatus by using first redundancy determination information that is information for determining whether or not each of contents of the backup data is already stored in the storage apparatus.

Abstract: A kneader/stirrer includes two rotary shafts extending parallel to each other in the processing chamber, and first and second regular triangular impellers mounted to the respective rotary shafts. The first impellers are located at the same axial positions as the respective first impellers. The impellers are fixed to the respective rotary shafts at points offset from the centers of the respective impellers in a predetermined direction by a predetermined distance such that when the two rotary shafts rotate in the same direction at the same speed, each pair of first and second impellers are eccentrically pivoted, with one apex of one of the pair of impellers kept in contact with or in close proximity to the contour of the other impeller, thereby scraping off polycondensation resin (material to be processed) adhered to the other impeller.

Abstract: Data recording and reproduction systems, apparatus, and methods provide efficient recording of and reproduction from storage media having multiple surfaces. In particular, a grouping processing unit groups data based on several factors. The grouped data can then be efficiently stored on storage media having multiple sides to increase the efficiency of storage and retrieval of such data. For example, data belonging to the same group is not stored on two surfaces of the same storage media to avoid having to remove and reverse the direction of the storage media in order to store data on or retrieve data from the other side of the storage media.
