  • Publication number: 20240086951
    Abstract: A satisfaction level calculation device (10) acquires environmental data detected by each of a plurality of environment sensors (20). The satisfaction level calculation device (10) sets each of a plurality of indexes about a space environment as a target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the environmental data acquired by measuring the target index, an individual satisfaction level, which is a satisfaction level of the target index. The satisfaction level calculation device (10) calculates, from the individual satisfaction level about each of the plurality of indexes, an overall satisfaction level, which is an overall satisfaction level about the space environment.

  • Patent number: 7696767
    Abstract: A first conductive contact connecting a first electrode of an inspection circuit board and one external electrode of a semiconductor integrated circuit is arranged in a fixed member. A second conductive contact connecting a second electrode of a wiring board and the other external electrode of the semiconductor integrated circuit is arranged in a movable member. A third conductive contact connecting one third electrode of the inspection circuit board and the other third electrode of the wiring board is arranged in the movable member. The other third electrode is connected to the second electrode. When the movable member moves to the contacting position, the second conductive contact makes contact with the other external electrode, and the third conductive contact makes contact with the one third electrode.

  • Patent number: 6462726
    Abstract: A phase control circuit sets the phase of a sampling clock signal for A/D conversion of a video signal in order. A binarizing circuit binarizes an analog video signal. A first counter circuit counts the changes of the output signal of the binarizing circuit. An A/D converting circuit digitizes the input signal. A second counter circuit counts the changes of the most significant bit of the A/D converting circuit. A subtracting circuit subtracts one from the other of the output signals of the two counter circuits. By changing the phase of the sampling clock signal of the A/D conversion in order within one period, the subtraction results are found, and this process is repeated for one or more periods. Thus the phase of the optimum sampling clock is set according to the subtraction results.

  • Patent number: 6094233
    Abstract: In a noise reducer whose S/N improving amount is variable, as to such a region where image quality deterioration caused by the noise reducer becomes relatively apparent, and both a luminance level and a chroma level are low, the S/N improving amount thereof is decreased. To the contrary, as to such a picture having a dark high frequency range component and a small movement component, no control is made of the S/N improving amount by the above-described luminance level and chroma level, but the normal S/N improvement is sufficiently carried out.

  • Patent number: 5668606
    Abstract: A contour restoration apparatus has a plurality of delay circuits connected in series. Maximum and minimum value detection circuits detect maximum and minimum values among an input video signal and output signals of the delay circuits. A mean value circuit is used to calculate a mean value of the of the maximum and minimum values. The mean value is subtracted from a delayed signal having a delay time of one-half of a delay time obtained from all the delay circuits. An adder is used to add the result of the subtraction to the delayed signal. A non-linear processing circuit processes the output of said adder and the maximum and minimum values. The non-linear circuit outputs the output signal of the adder, if the output signal of said adder is between the maximum value and the minimum value. A contour extraction circuit multiplies a signal located centrally among the input video signal, the output signals and the signals located before and after the input signal with a predetermined coefficient.
