Abstract: An inkjet printer injects first ink of a plurality of colors and second ink. An extraction condition setter sets an extraction condition to extract a portion of, or an entirety of, ink dots of the first ink of each of the plurality of colors. An extractor extracts an underlying layer dot group from ink dots of the first ink of each of the plurality of colors based on the extraction condition. Such a plurality of underlying layer dot groups and ink dots of the second ink form a first printing layer. An image dot group including at least the ink dots, of the first ink, other than the underlying dot groups forms at least one additional printing layer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a displaying method for video image coded data which prevents deterioration of image quality of a video image as much as possible, and conceals, from an observer, deteriorated video quality caused due to a transmission error. The displaying method selects target image frames to be decoded and target image frames to be discarded, by performing error determination (32) in parallel with an error recovery process and other image restoration processes, and decodes (33) only the selected target image frames. A predetermined display device sequentially displays (34) only the decoded target image frames while adjusting a frame rate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a traffic control apparatus and the like for optimizing a communication performance of each of local networks to be monitored. The traffic control apparatus (100) temporarily stores in the memory (120) communication band information items of relay nodes (211B, 212B, 213B) through the I/O (140). The controller (110) specifies a bottleneck relay node based on the obtained communication band information items, calculates transmittable/receivable bands to be allocated to the PCs (220B), and notifies the PCs (220B) of the calculated transmittable/receivable bands. In response to this notification, the PCs (220B) divide data to be transmitted, with the divided data corresponding to the allocated bands, and transmit the divided data to the Internet (10), in a manner that the divided data are arranged temporally evenly.

Abstract: A master key (K2,2) inputted by an input unit is stored in a storage unit. A matrix generating unit generates key element matrices (M1-M3) with respect to each of split keys (eR2, eR1, eR3) obtained by a key dividing unit dividing the master key (K2,2). To each coordinate entry of the key element matrices (M1-M3), operation data that successively obtained by repeating a hash operation with a one-way hash function is assigned, so as to maintain hierarchical nature of scalability (L). A key generating unit generates partial keys (K1,1-K2,2) corresponding to respective hierarchies of the scalabilities (R, L), on the basis of the key element matrices (M1-M3). These partial keys (K1,1-K2,2) are outputted to a coding unit or a decoding unit by an output unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a moving image data compressing method that enables improvement of the efficiency of compressing moving images and reduction in the processing load due to JPEG 2000 system. In the compressing method, in sequentially compressing, according to JPEG 2000, image frames that are disposed along a time axis without compressing the image frames in the time axis direction, a process of detecting movement of image elements is performed prior to EBCOT, with one or more code blocks, each of which being a minimum processing unit of the EBCOT, as one detection unit. While EBCOT is performed for each of code blocks that constitute a detection unit on which movement has been detected, EBCOT is skipped and predetermined data is supplemented for each of code blocks that constitute a detection unit on which movement has not been detected. Thus, the number of times of processing by EBCOT with a large computation amount can be reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an encryption key generating method ensuring resistance to collusion attacks and achieving reduction in a key length of encryption keys corresponding to respective hierarchies of each scalability. In the encryption key generating method, an encryption key (K2,2) corresponding to data in the lowest hierarchies of hierarchical scalabilities (R, L) is divided as a master key by the number of hierarchies in scalability (R). Key element matrices (M1-M3) generated with respective split keys (eR2, eR1, eR3) are assigned operation data successively obtained by repeating a hash operation with a one-way hash function, so as to maintain hierarchical nature of scalability (L). Partial keys (K1,1-K2,2) corresponding to respective hierarchies of the scalabilities (R, L) are generated by combining key elements coordinately consistent among the key element matrices (M1-M3).

Abstract: A code division multiplex communications system has a receiver for receiving a radio wave and transforming the radio wave to an electric signal. A voltage-current converter converts the electric signal to a current signal. A current delay mechanism then sequentially reads the electric signal during a clock pulse. Adders and subtractors manipulated output currents of the current delay mechanism in accordance with a spread code and a reproducing mechanism reproducing a transmission signal depending on the output of the adder and subtractor.
