  • Patent number: 10701716
    Abstract: A communication interface receives data at least including speech information and information related to a transmission time when the speech information should be transmitted. A processor extracts the speech information and the transmission time included in the data received by the communication interface. A wireless transmitter transmits the speech information extracted by the processor based on the transmission time extracted by the processor. When the transmission time has already passed, the wireless transmitter transmits the speech information and transmits the speech information extracted from subsequent data that follows said data at a time later than the transmission time extracted from the subsequent data.

  • Patent number: 10701328
    Abstract: A peripheral blown-out pixel counter counts the number of blown-out pixels in a block including a target pixel and peripheral pixels in image data. A G threshold setting unit sets a G threshold such that the G threshold is greater as the number of the blown-out pixels is larger. A (B?G) threshold setting unit sets a (B?G) threshold such that the (B?G) threshold is smaller as the number of the blown-out pixels is larger. A correction necessity determination unit determines that a color of the target pixel should be corrected when a G signal is determined to be smaller than the G threshold and a (B?G) value is determined to be greater than the (B?G) threshold. A color correction unit corrects at least the G signal and a B signal when the color of the target pixel should be corrected.

  • Patent number: 10680862
    Abstract: A mixer is connected to a signal generator and an antenna and outputs a signal at an intermediate frequency. A PLL demodulator subjects the signal at the intermediate frequency from the mixer to PLL demodulation. An amplifier amplifies a signal from the PLL demodulator. A detector detects an amount of shift occurring in the PLL demodulator. A detector detects a gain of the amplifier. An FSK demodulator subjects a signal from the amplifier to FSK demodulation. An AFC unit detects a frequency offset in the signal from the amplifier and causes the signal generator to make a correction for the frequency offset detected.

  • Patent number: 10659703
    Abstract: An illumination radiates a visible light or a near-infrared light. A lens images a light from a subject. A beam splitter disperses the visible light and the near-infrared light. A color imaging device images a reflecting light from the subject illuminated with the visible light and includes an imaging device having a red filter. A black-and-white imaging device images the near-infrared light dispersed by the beam splitter. A pixel pitch of the black-and-white imaging device that images the near-infrared light dispersed is larger than a pixel pitch of the color imaging device. A sampling position for the near-infrared light is displaced in a pixel arrangement horizontally or vertically with respect to a sampling position for red in a color image.

  • Patent number: 10652847
    Abstract: A relay station comprising: a time server that supplies time-synchronized pulse data generated every second; and a symbol counter that counts symbol periods used in communication, based on the pulse data. The relay station transfers an upstream signal to a simulcast controller, by including in the upstream signal a first count value of the symbol counter that indicates a timing when synchronization with the upstream signal is established. The simulcast controller calculates a second count value based on the first count value to indicate a timing of transmission of the downstream signal from the relay station to the terminal device, transfers the downstream signal for transmission from the relay station to the terminal device, with the second count value being included in the downstream signal. The relay station starts transmitting the downstream signal based on the second count value.
