Patent number: 9894270Abstract: An image processing apparatus is configured to capture an object image, generate a RAW image, perform simple development on the RAW image during the image capturing operation, and store not only the developed image but also the RAW image. In a predetermined interval, in an idle state, or in predetermined enlargement processing, the image processing apparatus reads a RAW file stored in a storage medium and performs high-quality image development to generate an image having higher image quality than that obtained by the simple development. If development processing has been completed by a high-quality image development unit, the image processing apparatus replaces the image obtained by the simple development with the image obtained by the high-quality image development and reproduces the image obtained by the high-quality image development.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2014Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Shingo Nozawa, Masamichi Ito

Publication number: 20170370973Abstract: A circuit chip is connected to a sensor chip in a sub-unit via a communication terminal, and includes an output wave formation circuit that performs communication by controlling a voltage of a power supply supplied from an electronic control unit (ECU) to raise a voltage level of an output signal. When the voltage of the power supply monitored by a voltage monitor rises above a threshold value, a control circuit lowers a voltage of a signal from the output wave formation circuit, thereby preventing an excessive rise of the power supply voltage used in a signal communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2017Publication date: December 28, 2017Inventors: Masamichi ITO, Kazuki MIKAMO

Publication number: 20170264858Abstract: An image processing apparatus that handles RAW images efficiently performs editing for reproducing RAW images. The apparatus compresses each of RAW images and reduced RAW images which are reduced from the RAW images, and records each in a recording medium. When editing, the image processing apparatus communicates with an external apparatus and transmits the reduced RAW images stored in the recording medium to the external apparatus, and causes the external apparatus to perform editing processing of the reduced images. Further, the image processing apparatus uses editing information representing the content of editing processing from the external apparatus to execute editing of the RAW image corresponding to the reduced RAW image on which the editing processing has been performed, by referencing the editing information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2015Publication date: September 14, 2017Inventors: Shingo Nozawa, Masamichi Ito

Publication number: 20170067226Abstract: In a hydraulic driving system for construction machines, when track motors 3f and 3g are operated and the delivery pressure of a main pump 2 increases to a second value PS2 of the set pressure of a main relief valve 14, the set pressure of a signal pressure relief valve 16 increases from a third value PA1 to a fourth value PA2, which is smaller than the second value PS2 of the set pressure of the main relief valve 14, the difference between the second value PS2 and the fourth value PA2 being smaller than the target LS differential pressure. With such a structure, even if one of actuators reaches the stroke end and the delivery pressure of the hydraulic pump rises to the set pressure of the main relief valve, the other actuators do not stop, and further when the main relief valve is configured to increase the set pressure during operation of a specific actuator, the load pressure of the specific actuator does not increase to the increased set pressure of the main relief valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2015Publication date: March 9, 2017Inventors: Kiwamu TAKAHASHI, Kazushige MORI, Masamichi ITO, Yoshifumi TAKEBAYASHI, Natsuki NAKAMURA, Yasuharu OKAZAKI, Kenji YAMADA
