  • Patent number: 9284490
    Abstract: The invention has for its objects to provide an organic/inorganic hybrid that has high flame retardancy, flexibility, moldability and affinities for organic compounds, and is capable of including therein an organic compound having a large number of carbon atoms. The organic/inorganic hybrid comprises a layered hydroxide mineral 40 with sheet-like inorganic compound unit layers 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d and an organic compound 13 included between the inorganic compound unit layers 11a, 11b, 11c and 11d. The above objects are achievable by using as the hydroxide mineral 40 at least one hydroxide mineral selected from the group consisting of Mg(OH)2, Ca(OH)2, Al(OH)3, AlO(OH), Fe(OH)3 and FeO(OH), and as the organic compound 13 a saccharide having 4 to 40 carbon atoms.

  • Patent number: 8711246
    Abstract: The single-lens reflex digital camera includes a CCD for imaging an image for storage and a CCD for imaging an image for live view. A pixel signal output from the CCD is processed in an image preprocessing unit, an image general processing unit, and a JPEG processing unit and stored in a memory card as JPEG data. A pixel signal output from the CCD is processed in a live image processing unit and stored in the memory card as YUV data for display. A display control unit reads the YUV data for display from the main memory and outputs the data to a LCD. The CPU adjusts frame rate of the live view image depending on the usage rate of the band of a main bus.

  • Patent number: 7374629
    Abstract: A hollow telescopic fishing rod has a rod body made from resin and reinforcing fibers. The rod body has an inner circumferential surface, wherein concave surface portions and convex surface portions are formed in the inner circumferential surface of the rod body. The reinforcing fibers are applied to the convex surface portions in the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 6944358
    Abstract: Image dividing means of an RPU divides raw image data into divided image data A1 having 2048 horizontal pixels and A2 having 1024 horizontal pixels. The divided image data A1 is continuously processed in single pixel processing means and multiple pixel processing means and thereafter transferred to and stored in a buffer. The divided image data A2 is processed in the single pixel processing means and thereafter transferred to and temporarily stored in another buffer. The multiple pixel processing means reads and processes divided image data A2a stored in this buffer and thereafter transfers and stores the same to and in still another buffer. Image combining means reads divided image data A1b and A2b stored in the buffers and combines the same with each other. Thus, an image processing time and a cost can be reduced even if raw image data having horizontal pixels in a number exceeding the capacity of a line memory is received.
