  • Patent number: 11979594
    Abstract: Provided is a transmitting device including a hierarchical classification section that classifies image data of each picture constituting moving image data into a plurality of layers, an image coding section that codes the classified image data of each layer, and generates a video stream holding the coded image data of each layer, and a transmitting section that transmits a container in a prescribed format that includes the generated video stream. The image coding section performs coding so that a referenced picture belongs to a layer of referencing image data and/or a layer lower than the layer of the referencing image data.

  • Patent number: 10011169
    Abstract: A casing includes a container in which a float valve is disposed. When the float valve is closed, the casing keeps the float valve in a closed state for a relatively long period of time. A sub-float valve is provided below the container in the casing, and is closed by floating on fuel at the time of a turn of a vehicle or an automatic stop of first refueling. When the first refueling is completed, air in the sub-float valve is discharged, and the sub-float valve loses its floating function.
