  • Patent number: 7486334
    Abstract: An image display system includes a display device, an input section to which video signals of an interlace scanning system are inputted, a signal converter section which increases horizontal scanning lines of the inputted video signals in number by a factor of at least two, and which generates first and second fields, each of the fields including effective scanning lines used for displaying and ineffective scanning lines not used for displaying, with the effective and ineffective scanning lines being arranged alternately in each of the fields, and a display control section which controls the display device to display the first and second fields alternately. The display control section controls the display device such that positions of the effective scanning lines of the first fields correspond with those of the ineffective scanning lines of the second fields, and vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20050001932
    Abstract: An image display system includes a memory for storing at least one scanning line of an inputted video signal of the interlace scanning system, and reading means for repeating to read the video signal of one scanning line from the memory at a speed which is n (n is an integer of 2 or more) times of the writing speed of the video signal for the memory for a horizontal scanning period which is 1/n of the writing period and to stop reading for a horizontal scanning period of the remaining (n?1)/n for each scanning line of one field which is sequentially inputted and reading each scanning line so that the continuous fields interpolate the period of stopping of reading from the memory each other.

  • Patent number: 5978041
    Abstract: An image display system includes a display circuit which displays an image composed of a plurality of sub-images, an input circuit which inputs a certain image signal including at least one sub-image embedded in the certain image signal which is provided by at least one of fields and frames, a designating circuit which designates timings of composition positions of the sub-image on scan lines of the certain image, and one control circuit which controls at least one of an amplitude level and a DC level of image signals corresponding to an area of the sub-image detected by the timing designated by the designating circuit.

  • Patent number: 5712532
    Abstract: A CRT display device capable of displaying a signal from the existing image signal source, in which a vertical frequency is approximately fixed and a horizontal frequency is widely distributed beyond a ratio of 3:1, on one image screen. The CRT display device includes a scan converter unit and a display unit. The scan converter unit includes an output horizontal frequency unifying circuit, a horizontal blanking period ratio converting circuit, a vertical frequency converting unit and a vertical blanking period ratio converting circuit. The display unit includes a vertical deflection circuit and a circuit for correcting a vertical S-shaped distortion. In a phase synchronous circuit, a lock-out detector is connected to an output of a three state output digital phase detector, and on the basis of an output thereof, a switch is subjected to the "ON"/"OFF" control.

  • Patent number: 5540435
    Abstract: A golf club formed of a hollow golf shaft, a golf head having a through hole for receiving the hollow golf shaft, and an engaging member for securing the golf shaft in the golf head, and which is fixedly secured to an end surface of the golf shaft, and has a cross-sectional shape, which progressively changes from a non-circular to a circular, and a threaded hole formed at an end face remote from the golf shaft for receiving a bolt that fixes the engaging member with the golf shaft in the golf head.
