  • Patent number: 8750646
    Abstract: A projector is disclosed. The projector divides image data, which should be displayed, into a plurality of quadrilateral regions, displays the vertexes of the divided quadrilateral regions to be superimposed on the image data, causes a user to select one of the displayed vertexes as a selected control point, causes the user to move the selected control point, deforms the quadrilateral regions including the selected control point before the movement as one of the vertexes into a shape including, in vertexes, the moved selected control point, and corrects image data corresponding to the quadrilateral regions before the deformation to be fit in the deformed quadrilateral regions.

  • Patent number: 3940702
    Abstract: A channel selecting system for use in a receiver having a voltage controlled tuning element which has an automatic channel presetting function which utilizes a pulse generator and a binary counter connected to the generator to count the pulses and to generate a binary coded output in accordance with the sum of the pulses. A digital-to-analog converter changes the binary coded output into a linearly increasing tuning sweep voltage which in turn conditions the voltage controlled tuning element to scan the frequency range of the tuner as the tuning voltage increases. As the frequencies are scanned, a detector, connected to the tuning element, senses the presence of a broadcast channel. When a channel is detected, the scan is interrupted and a binary memory is utilized to store the binary coded output which corresponds to the frequency of the detected broadcast channel.
