  • Patent number: 11936977
    Abstract: A control apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention includes a controlled-object selecting switch configured to select an object to be controlled from a plurality of objects to be controlled and switch the object to be controlled to the selected one, an adjustment-value changing operation unit configured to change an adjustment value indicating an adjustment amount for each of the objects to be controlled, a control unit configured to make the selected object to be controlled adjust the adjustment amount by transmitting, to the selected object to be controlled, an adjustment-value changing command for adjusting the adjustment amount to the one indicated by the adjustment value, and a storage unit configured to store, when the object to be controlled is switched by the controlled-object selecting switch, a pre-switching adjustment value, in which when the object to be controlled is switched by the controlled-object selecting switch.

  • Patent number: 11490073
    Abstract: A video data processor converts input video data into sub-frame data in which one frame is composed of a plurality of sub-frames. A liquid crystal display device includes a display pixel unit in which a greater number of pixels than the number of pixels of the camera to be evaluated are arranged, and switches a display image to be captured by a camera for each frame asynchronously with the camera based on the sub-frame data to display the display image in a frame-sequential manner. The video data processor includes a sub-frame data conversion table which differs for each of a plurality of pixels corresponding to one pixel of the camera, and a sub-frame data converter configured to convert the video data into the sub-frame data for each of the plurality of pixels based on the sub-frame data conversion table.

  • Patent number: 8379140
    Abstract: A video image pickup apparatus (10) includes an image sensor (120), a knee processor (132) for performing a compression in a high-luminance characteristic interval of a picture signal based on an output signal of the image sensor, a block luminance calculator (151) for dividing a frame of image based on the output signal of the solid-state image pickup device into a set of blocks, calculating a set of luminance indices of respective blocks, an extreme extractor (152) for extracting a block having a highest luminance index, together with the luminance index, a display information generator (153) for generating a set of pieces of image information for exposure guide display including an image representing a region of the extracted block and an image representing the luminance index, an image superposer (160) for superposing the set of pieces of image information for exposure guide display on a frame of image based on the compressed picture signal to generate a frame of superposed image, and a view finder (170)

  • Patent number: 4223718
    Abstract: A molten metal injecting device for a cold chamber type die casting machine wherein a cavity is provided in which a metal cast body is formed between a movable die and a stationary die. Molten metal in an injection sleeve is injected into the cavity by a piston through a narrow gate. The sleeve has a feeding port for introducing the molten metal. An opening is provided in the sleeve in which the piston on the end of the plunger is exposed partially between the feeding port of the sleeve and the inserting end of the plunger. Lubricant spraying nozzles and compressed air blowing nozzles are arranged towards the opening, and a mechanism is provided for rotating the piston.
