  • Patent number: 6539108
    Abstract: The present invention provides an image processing device that avoids occurrence of unintended color conversion during the logical operation processing, and produces high-resolution images. In the image processing device of the present invention, after an input color conversion unit converts the RGB color space into the CMYK color space, a first color conversion unit executes color conversion of an area subjected to the logical operation processing into the CMY color space, and a logical operation unit executes the logical operation processing. Thereafter, a second color conversion unit executes color conversion of a logical operation result into the CMYK color space. On the other hand, a pixel value comparison unit compares the color values of the CMY color space before and after the logical operation by the logical operation unit; and if coincident, an output image selection unit selects the color values converted by the input color conversion unit as they are.

  • Patent number: 6456298
    Abstract: To provide an image processing apparatus and method that enable high speed and high quality image drawing process. When a drawing instruction including drawing logical arithmetic process instruction is input to a drawing instruction converting unit, the drawing instruction converting mans converts the input drawing instruction to a drawing object and a drawing logical arithmetic process instruction and then stores these to a drawing object storing unit. A drawing logical arithmetic process instruction determining unit determines whether the drawing logical arithmetic process instruction has content to be drawn without logical arithmetic process or not.

  • Patent number: 5038694
    Abstract: A small sailing watercraft designed to be operated primarily by a single rider standing on the deck and having an improved hull configuration for improved handling in all seas and all wind conditions. The hull is hollow and is formed with a generally narrow displacement hull with a substantially larger deck area closing it so as to accommodate various standing positions for the rider. A pair of sponsons are disposed adjustably at the opposite side of the main hull and are carried by outriggers that are connected to the main hull in an area where it is reinforced by internal bulkheads. The hollow hull also affords a storage compartment.
