Abstract: A image processing method includes computing an initial phase corresponding to a difference between a position of a first pixel of an input image and a position of a first pixel of an output image using at least one of scaling ratio information between the input and output images, chroma subsampling format conversion information applied between the input and output images, or rotation angle information of the input image, and determining the position of the first pixel of the output image based on the initial phase and the position of the first pixel of the input image.

Abstract: A method for fractionating dextrin, belonging to the technical field of food processing. In principle, the method for fractionating dextrin of the present invention is based on the fact that the dextrin is incompatible with polyethylene glycol in aqueous solution and a larger molecular weight of the dextrin results in more significant incompatibility with polyethylene glycol. Accordingly, the stepwise precipitation of dextrin components having a molecular weight from large to small may be realized by gradually increasing the concentration of polyethylene glycol by gradually adding polyethylene glycol to dextrin in aqueous solution.

Abstract: Provided are a curable composition and its use. The curable composition may provide a cured product having excellent processability and workability, no whitening and surface stickiness, and an excellent adhesive property. Since the curable composition has excellent thermal resistance, gas barrier-ability, and crack resistance, even when a semiconductor device to which the composition is applied is used at a high temperature for a long time, performance of the device may be stably maintained. Specifically the curable composition is a blend of three different polyorganosiloxanes having aliphatic unsaturated groups and specific Ar/Si ratios and a polyorganosiloxane having SiH groups.

Abstract: In a method for remote control using a plurality of infrared transmitters, each of which is associated with a respective infrared receiver, each of the infrared transmitters and the respective infrared receiver are configured with a codeword unique thereto. Different priorities are assigned to the infrared transmitters. Control signal transmission for one of the infrared transmitters is enabled only when no control signal from another one of the infrared transmitters is received thereby within a predetermined time period having a duration that corresponds to the assigned priority. Each of the infrared receivers is configured to execute an intended operation upon receipt of the control signal transmitted by the infrared transmitter having the same codeword. An apparatus implementing the method is also disclosed.
