  • Patent number: 9432673
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an image processing device including: an acquisition section adapted to acquire coded data and control the output or recording of the coded data; a generation section adapted to generate image data; a coding section adapted to generate the coded data by coding the generated image data in response to an output request from the acquisition section; an output section adapted to output the generated coded data to the acquisition section; and a control section adapted to determine, based on the generated coded data, the sizes of vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals used to output the coded data to the acquisition section, notify the determined sizes to the acquisition section, and control the output section to output the coded data according to the vertical and horizontal synchronizing signals of the determined sizes after the notification.

  • Patent number: 9209942
    Abstract: In a network in which a plurality of ECUs are connected to one another with a common bus, one or more slots are allocated to each ECU in advance, and the plurality of ECUs cyclically transmit messages in an order prescribed in relation to the slots. When each ECU transmits the message related to one slot, each ECU creates and transmits a message including data to be transmitted to other ECUs, and information representing respectively a success/failure of the message reception related to other slots. Each ECU checks information of ACK field included in a message received during one cycle from message transmission related to one slot to a next message transmission related to said one slot. When the message related to one slot is not accurately received by the other ECUs, retransmits the message in the next transmission related to said one slot.

  • Patent number: 7598458
    Abstract: A superconducting cable according to the present invention includes a former, a superconducting conductor layer formed around the outer circumference of the former, an electric insulating layer formed around the outer circumference of the conductor layer, a shield layer formed around the outer circumferential of the insulating layer, and a normal-conducting metal layer formed between the insulating layer and the shield layer. The normal-conducting metal layer existing inside shield layer has an inductance greater than that of the shield layer, which can suppress a rise in temperature in the event of accidents such as short-circuits, and also can reduce AC losses since currents flow through shield layer during the passage of normal currents.
