  • Patent number: 9721331
    Abstract: In the present invention, subband signals are obtained by performing multiresolution decomposition on image data by using a broad-sense pinwheel framelet that is a set of an approximate filter with no orientation and a plurality of detail filters with respective orientations, and that has a degree. When an image is reconstructed by summing the obtained subband signals, the reconstructed image data is generated by attenuating or amplifying a subband signal corresponding to at least one of filters that have predetermined frequency characteristics and/or a predetermined orientation among the filters.

  • Patent number: 9418452
    Abstract: The present invention obtains subband signals by performing a multiresolution decomposition by a wavelet frame with orientation selectivity or a filterbank with orientation selectivity that is a set of an approximate filter with no orientation and a plurality of detail filters with respective orientations on image data, and, when an image is reconstructed by summing the obtained subband signals, generates reconstructed image data that creates a floating illusion by attenuating or amplifying a subband signal corresponding to at least one of detail filters with a predetermined orientation relative to a floating direction, in which an image is desired to be floated due to an illusion, among the detail filters.

  • Patent number: 8203138
    Abstract: An organic field-effect transistor normally includes: a source electrode and a drain electrode; an organic semiconductor layer in contact with the source electrode and the drain electrode; a gate insulating layer adjacent to the organic semiconductor layer; and a gate electrode in contact with the gate insulating layer. The gate insulating layer according to the present invention is in a liquid state, constituted with a material containing no glue or thickener, a sole or main component of which is an ionic liquid. Thus the capacitance of the ionic liquid corresponding to a gate voltage modulation frequency of 10 Hz is reduced to 1/10 at a frequency of 10 kHz of higher. As a result, an organic field-effect transistor capable of operating at low voltage and assuring ample current gain and high-speed response (the capacitance of the ionic liquid corresponding to a gate voltage modulation frequency of 10 Hz is reduced to 1/10 at a frequency of 10 kHz of higher) is provided.
