  • Patent number: 5931694
    Abstract: A service plug includes: a plug main body having terminals for engaging with the other terminals, the terminals electrically connected to each other; a pivoting shaft extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to a terminal engaging direction of the terminals of the plug main body and the other terminals; a lever connected to the plug main body so as to be pivotally movable through the pivoting shaft; and a pivot regulating mechanism arranged to extend over the lever and the plug main body, the pivot regulating preventing the pivoting of the lever relative to the plug main body with a predetermined force at least when the lever is substantially erected in the terminal engaging direction.

  • Patent number: 5820413
    Abstract: A fuse is attached to an inner wall surface of a cover body that opens and closes in a hingelike manner while arranged over an opening of a housing. A pair of connected terminals is fixed to the housing at a predetermined interval in a longitudinal direction. Terminals of the fuse are electrically connected to the connected terminals when the cover body is closed, so that a circuit formed by the electric wires connected to the end portions of the respective connected terminals is caused to conduct. When the cover body is opened, the terminals are electrically disconnected from the connected terminals so that the circuit is opened.

  • Patent number: 5371611
    Abstract: For decoding compressed digital image data of source image, end-of-block (EOB) codes appearing in entropy coded data are utilized to detect a portion of "0" elements in a frequency range coefficient matrix. An inverse orthogonal transform process is fully or partly omitted according to the "0" coefficient distribution.

  • Patent number: 5271072
    Abstract: An image reduction system which reduces binary level images is disclosed. In the system, a reduction pixel value is determined by using, as reference pixels for a filter operation: a plurality of surrounding pixels including an object pixel to be reduced; and reduced pixels, from among pixels which have already been reduced, said reduced pixels being at least; a reduced pixel located before the pixel to be determined: a reduced pixel, located on the preceding line, which lies directly above the pixel to be determined; and a reduced pixel before said reduced pixel located on the preceding line. When a pixel referenced during the filter operation is included in a specific pattern, an exception process for correcting binary level results is provided.

  • Patent number: 5251046
    Abstract: A multi-level image is encoded through dither conversion and hierarchy encoding with high image compression ratio and satisfactory image quality for low resolution images. An original multi-level image is first reduced so that a plurality of reduced images are obtained. Each reduced multi-layer image is then dithered to bi-level image, and finally each dithered bi-level image is encoded starting the smallest and the lowest resolution image to the largest and the highest resolution image. No temporary memory for reduced multi-level image is necessary, as a common multi-level line memory (LM2, LM3, LM4) doubles for storing a reduced multi-level image and a temporary memory for effecting dither conversion.

  • Patent number: 5121222
    Abstract: Binary picture reducing method and apparatus are disclosed, wherein an original picture is divided for a block of a pattern matrix composed of a predetermined number of picture elements, thereby extracting a plurality of binary picture blocks. When the plurality of binary picture blocks each agree with a predetermined thin line pattern, the binary picture block is detected as a thin line block. The thin line block thus detected is retained on an output picture at a position corresponding to a predetermined reduction ratio.
