  • Patent number: 11943233
    Abstract: An electronic control unit is connected to a network in an in-vehicle network system. The electronic control unit includes a first control circuit and a second control circuit. The first control circuit is connected to the network via the second control circuit. The second control circuit performs a first determination process on a frame to determine conformity of the frame with a first rule. Upon determining that the frame conforms to the first rule, the second control circuit transmits the frame to the first control circuit. The first control circuit performs a second determination process on the frame to determine conformity of the frame with a second rule. The second rule is different from the first rule.

  • Publication number: 20130003022
    Abstract: A polarizing prism is shaped in the form of a hexahedron. A polarizing beam splitter film (PBS film) is arranged approximately in a diagonal direction of the hexahedron. The polarizing prism holds a relationship of A<B when the dimension thereof in an outgoing direction (Y direction) of a light beam to a screen is A and the dimension thereof in an incident direction (X direction) of a light beam from a light source is B. For example, the polarizing prism is shaped in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. At a plane on which the light beam is launched from a scanning mirror, one end of the PBS film is placed so as to intersect with the incident plane at an angle of approximately 45° at a position deviated inside by a difference between the dimensions A and B from the end of the incident plane.

  • Patent number: 6611294
    Abstract: The present invention provides a movement correction frame count transformation apparatus for carrying out frame count transformation processing on a picture signal. In the apparatus, an input picture signal (S1) of interlaced scanning is converted into a signal (S2) of sequential scanning by an IP conversion unit (1). A movement detecting unit (3) detects movement detection signals (MD1 and MD2). A block unit movement vector searching unit (4) detects a block unit movement vector (BMV) by carrying out block matching processing. A movement vector correcting unit (5) carries out miniblock division processing to generate a movement vector (BV) if a movement correction error is equal to or greater than a threshold value. A pixel unit movement vector generating unit (6) generates a movement vector with a smallest error component between a frame signal of a current frame and a frame signal of an immediately preceding frame as a movement vector of a pixel.
