  • Publication number: 20240080590
    Abstract: Photoelectric conversion apparatus includes read circuit for reading signals of pixel array, and signal processing unit for generating pixel signal by performing CDS on signals read by the read circuit and performing shading correction on the pixel signal. The read circuit has function of reading signal of the pixel array with first and second gain. The read circuit reads noise level with the first gain and reads optical signal level with the first or second gain from selected effective pixel for the correlated double sampling. In the shading correction, pixel signal of effective pixel from which optical signal level has been read with the first gain is corrected based on first correction value, and pixel signal of effective pixel from which optical signal level has been read with the second gain is corrected based on second correction value.

  • Patent number: 10235005
    Abstract: Pursuant to the increase in the number of objects to be managed and the complication of relations of the objects to be managed, the current condition is that the visibility of the GUI of management software is deteriorating. As one such current condition, there is a problem in that the display name of equipment to be managed on the GUI cannot be entirely displayed depending on the screen. Thus, the present invention improves the readability on the GUI by changing the display name according to the objective of the administrator by using a label in which the display name is divided into morphemes and the priority assigned thereto, as well as using topology information, and fitting the display name within the display area prepared on the screen.

  • Publication number: 20060057967
    Abstract: A port power supplying control section instructs a power supply interface section to start power supply from a port to which a power receiving apparatus successfully detected by power receiving apparatus detection processing is connected. For each port, power supply from which is started, a power supply possible/impossible judgment section sequentially obtains the corresponding non-power-supply time zone from a table stored in a scheduling section, sequentially receives time data from a control section, and compares these. In the case that the time data is inside the range of the obtained non-power-supply time zone, the port power supplying control section is instructed to stop power supply from the corresponding port. In the case that the time data is outside the range of the non-power-supply time zone, a power receiving apparatus detection processing section is instructed to perform power receiving apparatus detection processing so that power supply from the corresponding port is resumed.
