  • Patent number: 11916214
    Abstract: Battery cells may be heated safely and reliably. A power supply device includes a battery block (10) including battery cells including positive and negative electrodes at both ends, lead plate (2) connected to the positive and negative electrodes of the battery cells to electrically connect the battery cells, and a sheet heater (3) configured to heat the battery cells. The sheet heater (3) is thermally coupled and placed on one surface on the negative electrode of the battery cell via one of the lead plates (2).

  • Patent number: 11847759
    Abstract: An image signal processor (110) according to an embodiment inputs, as an input image, a mosaic image in which pixel blocks each of which is formed of a plurality of pixels of the same color sharing one lens (40) are arrayed. The image signal processor performs interpolation processing on the entire surface of the input image based on a pixel signal of a pixel of a predetermined color included in the input image to generate a first image signal. The image signal processor generates a second image signal, which has a difference based on a relative position of a pixel of interest with respect to the lens and has a lower resolution than the first image signal, based on the input image. The image signal processor generates a conversion pixel whose position after conversion corresponds to a position of the pixel of interest.

  • Patent number: 10621711
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an image processing device and an image processing method which are capable of improving the image quality using a plurality of images captured by a plurality of imaging units. The presence or absence of mutual parallax is determined using a main image including a low sensitivity high resolution image captured by a high resolution imaging unit and a sub image including a low resolution high sensitivity image captured by a high sensitivity imaging unit, and when there is parallax, similar pixels searched in the sub image are synthesized with respective pixels of the main image through a search synthesis process, and when there is no parallax, pixels at the same position are synthesized through an optimal synthesis process. The present disclosure can be applied to an imaging device.
