  • Patent number: 9850787
    Abstract: The valve opening/closing timing control device includes: the driving rotating body; the driven rotating body; an advancing chamber and a retarding chamber formed by partitioning a fluid pressure chamber between the driving and driven rotating bodies; and a phase control unit supplying pressurized fluid to the advancing or retarding chamber via an advancing channel or a retarding channel penetrating through the driven rotating body. In the driven rotating body, an outer circumferential member and an inner circumferential member are formed integrally/coaxially with each other. The advancing and retarding channel form a predetermined angle. Between every pair of an advancing channel and a retarding channel, a groove portion is formed in one of an inner circumferential surface of the outer circumferential member and an outer circumferential surface of the inner circumferential member, and an elongated protruding portion is formed on the other, at a position that corresponds to the groove portion.

  • Publication number: 20170308991
    Abstract: A semiconductor device 1 includes an image input unit 11 and an image output unit 12. The image input unit 11 receives first image data from a camera 91 and outputs second image data to a memory unit 93 through a shared bus 130. The image output unit 12 receives the second image data stored in the memory unit 93 through the shared bus 130 and outputs third image data to a monitor 92. The third image data is generated by performing an affine-conversion on the first image data. Magnification processing in the affine-conversion is not performed in the image input unit 11. In this way, it is possible to provide an excellent semiconductor device suitable for image processing or the like.

  • Publication number: 20170310904
    Abstract: Means which enables image conversion in which a plurality of conversion results can be output without once saving all of video-image data, which has been input from image-pickup means, in a storage medium is provided. A single line memory having a plurality of lines is used while switching the role thereof for a reading use by a video-image converting means and a use for inputting image data from the image-pickup means.

  • Publication number: 20170255509
    Abstract: The detection of a fault of the address signal system in memory access is aimed at. A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes an address conversion circuit which generates the second address for storing an error detecting code in a memory based on the first address for storing data; a write circuit which writes data at the first address and writes an error detecting code at the second address; and a read circuit which reads data from the first address, reads the error detecting code from the second address, and detects an error based on the data and the error detecting code. The address conversion circuit generates an address as the second address by modifying the value of at least one bit of the first address so as to offset the storing position of the error detecting code to the storing position of the data, and by inverting the value of or permutating the order of the prescribed number of bits among the other bits.
