  • Publication number: 20250056765
    Abstract: A cooling device includes a container, a heat receiver to receive heat from a cooling target and evaporate a refrigerant inside the container, a condenser disposed away from the heat receiver, and to condense the gas-phase refrigerant, a liquid transporter to couple the condenser and the heat receiver, and transport the liquid-phase refrigerant to the heat receiver from the condenser, a first transporter to couple the heat receiver and the condenser, and include a first transport-space inside the first transporter, in which the gas-phase refrigerant is transported to the condenser from the heat receiver, and a second transporter provided in pairs over two sides in a direction orthogonal to a moving-direction of the refrigerant in the first transporter, and to couple the heat receiver and the condenser, and include a second transport-space inside the second transporter, in which the gas-phase refrigerant is transported to the condenser from the heat receiver.

  • Patent number: 6075556
    Abstract: A method is disclosed, for encoding a signal with a three dimensional image sequence using a series of left and right images. Each image in the left image series is a picture formed by non-interlaced or interlaced scanned left line images, and each image in the right image series is a picture formed by non-interlaced or interlaced scanned right line images. The left line images contained in the left picture are merged with the right line images contained in the right picture to produce an alternately arranged left and right line merged picture. The merged picture is encoded using an MPEG-2 compliant encoder.

  • Patent number: 5963673
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for adaptively selecting a coding mode for video encoding systems using the techniques of predictive coding, interpolative coding, motion compensation, discrete cosine transformation (DCT), adaptive quantization, or variable length coding. In one system, a value related to an amount of total code, which is composed of current video code and its coding parameters for each of the above coding modes, is determined, respectively, and a coding mode corresponding to the smallest value is selected. Then, the encoding is performed using the selected coding mode.

  • Patent number: 5808700
    Abstract: A motion vector detecting circuit and a motion video compressing system are disclosed. The detecting circuit detect a vector which direct from a spatial location of a current macroblock to a spatial location of a reference macroblock. The detecting circuit includes a first extracting circuit, a second extracting circuit and a searching circuit. The first extracting circuit extracts upper bits from each pixel data of the current macroblock. The second extracting circuit extracts upper bits from each pixel data of the reference frame. The searching circuit searches the upper-bits-extracted reference frame for a macroblock having the strongest correlation with the current macroblock by comparing the upper-bits-extracted current macroblock with the upper-bits-extracted reference frame and outputs the spatial location of the reference macroblock. The motion video compressing system includes the motion vector detecting circuit, a transform-coding circuit, a subtracter, a comparator and a controller.
