  • Publication number: 20190379411
    Abstract: A transmission device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes three output terminals that are arranged in one line and three sets of inductor elements and ESD protection elements that are provided for the respective output terminals. The three output terminals are respectively coupled to three transmission paths. The three sets of the inductor elements and the ESD protection elements are arranged in a non-orthogonal direction with respect to a direction in which the three output terminals are arranged. The transmission device further includes a driver circuit that outputs three actuation signals to the respective three output terminals through the respective three sets of the inductor elements and the ESD protection elements.

  • Patent number: 8970750
    Abstract: An image outputting apparatus includes a header production section for producing a header including header information formed from first and second frame information regarding whether pixel data included in a payload are of first and last lines of one frame, respectively, first line information regarding whether or not the pixel data included in the payload are valid, and second line information regarding a line number of a line formed from the pixel data included in the payload, and an error detection code for use for detection of an error of the header information. A packet production section produces a packet which includes, in the payload thereof, pixel data for one line which configure an image obtained by imaging by an imaging section and to which the header is added. An outputting section outputs the produced packet to an image processing apparatus.
