  • Publication number: 20130300597
    Abstract: A high resolution processing device that is provided to a target finder for detecting a presence of a target, and that increases resolution of a received signal received by the target finder, includes a first change amount calculator, a second change amount calculator, a coefficient setting component, and an output signal production component. The first change amount calculator calculates as a first change amount an amount of change in the received signal received by the target finder per unit quantity in one direction of an angle direction and a distance direction. The second change amount calculator calculates as a second change amount an amount of change in the first change amount per unit quantity in the one direction. The coefficient setting component sets at least one coefficient based on the first change amount and the second change amount.

  • Patent number: 7095384
    Abstract: Antenna elements are arranged in line on a surface of a substrate at specific intervals along a longitudinal direction of the substrate. A phase-inverting distributor is formed on the surface of the substrate in an area located between two antenna elements which are closest to and located on both sides of a vertical centerline, or a reference line, of the substrate. A primary feeder line formed along the longitudinal direction of the substrate extends from the phase-inverting distributor on both left and right sides thereof. The individual antenna elements are connected to the primary feeder line by secondary feeder lines having predetermined impedances. The secondary feeder lines are connected to the respective antenna elements on sides thereof which are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the substrate and face the reference line on which the phase-inverting distributor is located.

  • Patent number: 6914612
    Abstract: An image drawing technique includes a method of drawing a randomly changing image of an object and a method of drawing a revised image including a shimmering image in a background image. The method of drawing a randomly changing image of an object establishes a drawing pattern of the object, the drawing pattern including a plurality of extraction areas, each extraction area including a portion of the drawing pattern. A portion of the drawing pattern is extracted from one of the extraction areas and is combined with a randomly selected mask pattern to draw a composite image which is output on a monitor. The extracting and combining steps are repeated for a next extraction area located at a predetermined distance in a defined direction from a previous extraction area. The method of drawing a revised image includes randomly altering a portion of the background image to generate an altered image, and combining the altered image and another mask pattern to generate another composite image.
