Patent number: 9753545Abstract: An input device is a device determining an input by a user based on a motion of a hand of the user in picked-up images associated with an operation screen displaying a selectable area. The input device includes an input determiner (155) determining whether or not the input by the user is a select operation of a selectable area or is a gesture operation based on, in the picked-up images, a change in shape of the hand of the user caused by the moving hand. The determined input is transmitted to an application subjected to an operation through a transmitter (156).Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: NEC Solutions Innovators, Ltd.Inventor: Kenji Akiyoshi

Patent number: 8736635Abstract: The edge segment setting unit (6) sets up edge data for an array of pixel divisions from the coordinates of start and end points of an edge line. The correction unit (7) shifts the array of pixel divisions on the bases of row of pixel divisions arranged in the scanning line direction by a given number of pixels in the scanning line direction. The contraction unit (8) calculates the sums of edge data of pixel divisions within the pre-shift range of the array of pixel divisions on the basis of row of pixel divisions and stores the sums in a column of contracted pixels having a width equal to one pixel division in the scanning line direction. The adjacent pixel adding unit (9) adds the values of the pixel divisions protruding from the pre-shift range of the array of pixel divisions to the column of contracted pixels of the pixel adjacent in the protruding direction. The first mask generation unit (11) generates mask data indicating the fill according to the array of contracted pixels.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2009Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: NEC System Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: Kenji Akiyoshi

Patent number: 8237628Abstract: A vector image drawer comprises: an outline definer, a divider, an outline flag setter, a filler, and a continue flag setter. The outline definer defines outline data for indicating a start pixel and an end pixel of a filling along each scanning line of a drawing region. The divider divides the drawing region into an m×n matrix of drawing subregions. The outline flag setter sets an outline flag for indicating a presence of the outline data for each of the drawing subregions. The filler performs a fill processing for drawing subregions in a case where a continue flag is set for an adjacent drawing subregions and the outline flag is set for each of the drawing subregions. A continue flag setter sets the continue flag for each of the scanning line, whether a filling continues into an adjacent drawing subregion.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2008Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: NEC System Technologies, Ltd.Inventor: Kenji Akiyoshi

Patent number: 6646379Abstract: A metal vapor discharge lamp having a highly reliable sealed portion. The lamp has an arc tube including a discharge portion of translucent ceramic in which a discharge metal is filled and a pair of electrodes is disposed; small tubular portions coupled to both ends of the discharge portion; feeder bodies inserted into the small tubular portions; and a sealing material sealing the gap between the feeder body and the small tubular portion at the end portion opposite to the discharge portion. The end of the small tubular portions and the inner surface of the discharge portion define a discharge space. The feeder bodies are composed of a conductive cermet and connected to the electrodes. The ends of the feeder bodies extend at least to the ends of the small tubular portions. The temperature of the end of the sealing material on the discharge space side during the lamp operation is not more than 800° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1999Date of Patent: November 11, 2003Assignee: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hiroshi Nohara, Yoshiharu Nishiura, Shunsuke Kakisaka, Kazuo Takeda, Kenji Akiyoshi, Kouichi Sugimoto, Shiki Nakayama, Takashi Yamamoto
