Abstract: A digitized image is encoded by detecting edges in the image, encoding the position and sharpness of the detected edges, filtering the image by a low-pass filter to generate a low-frequency image, and encoding the low-frequency image. A digitized image encoded in this way is reconstructed by generating a horizontal edge image and a vertical edge image from the encoded edge position and sharpness information, synthesizing a pair of high-frequency images by filtering the horizontal and vertical edge images with an edge synthesis filter, decoding the low-frequency image, and performing an inverse wavelet transform on the decoded low-frequency image and the high-frequency images.
Abstract: The invention relates to anhydrous compositions that are useful as UV-light screens for mammalian skin. Such compositions comprise octocrylene, octyldodecyl neopentanoate, and a C1-C4 alcohol vehicle. The invention also relates to methods of inhibiting or preventing UV light-induced skin damage by administering an effective amount of such a composition to the skin of a mammal in need of such inhibition or protection.

Abstract: A perovskite crystallized ferroelectric substance is formed over a lower electrode. A precursor solution, which serves as a ferroelectric film, is applied thereto and dried, followed by low-temperature anneal under the condition of a perovskite crystallization temperature or lower. Further, an upper electrode is formed and thereafter subjected to high-temperature anneal at a temperature of the perovskite crystallization temperature or higher to thereby perfectly crystallize the ferroelectric film, whereby a semiconductor element interposed between the electrodes can be formed.
Abstract: A colored, sunscreen emulsion is disclosed which employs a water-soluble dye or a blend of water-soluble dyes whose color substantially disappears when the sunscreen emulsion dries after it is spread on the skin and/or is rubbed out. The coloration in the sunscreen enables the user to more effectively protect against sunburn by allowing more complete and uniform coverage of the sunscreeen on the skin.
