  • Patent number: 7428008
    Abstract: When an image signal, which was picked up in a 24p image format and temporarily recorded on a temporary recording device, is read in a 60i image format, the image signal is subjected to a 2:3:2:3 pull-down conversion process so that it becomes possible to omit compressing/expanding processes. At this time, the reading operation is controlled on the basis of the figure of time codes so that the pull-down conversion system at the time of a joining image-pickup process is maintained. In this case, by properly switching controlling methods among a plurality of pull-down controlling methods, it is possible to achieve an image conversion system capable of providing an optimal image conversion process in accordance with desired image-pickup purposes and editing processes.

  • Patent number: 6663729
    Abstract: An aluminum alloy foil is formed from an alloy containing about 1.2 to 1.7% by weight Fe and about 0.35 to 0.80% by weight Si, with the balance aluminum and incidental impurities. The alloy is continuously strip cast to form a strip having a thickness less than about 25 mm, which is then cold rolled to interanneal gauge and interannealed at a temperature of at least 400° C. The interannealed strip is cold rolled and further annealed to form the final foil product, having excellent rollability combined with high strength of the final foil.

  • Patent number: 6603363
    Abstract: There are provided the delay coarse adjustment circuit 3, the delay fine adjustment circuit 4, and the inverter circuit 5. The delay coarse adjustment circuit 3 stepwise varies a delay amount based on the delay coarse adjustment signal S11 and supplies the input oscillation signal S12 with a coarse delay. The delay fine adjustment circuit 4 stepwise varies a delay amount based on the delay fine adjustment signal S2 and supplies the input oscillation signal S13 with a fine delay which is smaller than a delay amount supplied by the delay coarse adjustment circuit 3. The inverter circuit 5 inputs the oscillation signal S14 from the delay coarse adjustment circuit 3 or the delay fine adjustment circuit 4. The delay coarse adjustment circuit 3 coarsely adjusts delays. The delay fine adjustment circuit 4 fine adjusts delays. The coarse and fine adjustments provide a precision delay to generate the oscillation output signal S15.
