The evaluation value information forming unit is configured to form evaluation value information on motion vectors evaluating that a reference pixel is a potential movement destination candidate for a focus pixel. The evaluation value information on the motion vectors is generated from pixel value correlation information that has been one of generated and limited using a movement direction of the pixels. The motion vector extracting unit is configured to extract motion vectors as candidates from a plurality of motion vectors based on the evaluation value information formed by the evaluation value information forming unit. The motion vector deciding unit is configured to decide motion vectors to be assigned to pixels in a frame from the motion vectors extracted as the candidates by the motion vector extracting unit.

Abstract: A door drive control apparatus capable of an accurate detection, without misidentifying an inverse overrun condition, and a door drive control method that improves safety. The door drive control apparatus includes a power converter that supplies power to a door drive linear motor, and operates the power converter by feedback control using a speed detection value and a speed command value of the door, and controls a speed of the door. The door drive control apparatus includes a speed trouble determiner, which outputs a door inverse direction speed trouble signal in the event that the speed command value of the door exceeds either a positive or negative first setting speed, and the speed detection value exceeds a second setting speed of a polarity opposite to that of the speed command value.

Abstract: An object detecting apparatus and method accurately detect an event while reducing power consumption. A photosensor is used to detect an object entering a monitoring region, and a microwave sensor is used to detect the object, which enters another monitoring region. State data representing the state of the object is generated based on detection information obtained by both sensors.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory including a plurality of memory banks, a data storage processor that initially arranges data in the plurality of memory banks based on an access pattern including a plurality of desired pixels of data to be read simultaneously so as to store pixels of data between access candidates constituting the access pattern in an identical memory bank, and a data read and storage processor that reads the data initially arranged in the plurality of memory banks of the memory. The data read and storage processor reads a pixel of data from a memory bank, and stores the read pixel of data in a memory bank in which pixels of data in an adjacent range defined in ranges, which are defined by locations of the access candidates of the access pattern, based on a direction in which the access pattern is moved.

Abstract: A feature extracting unit obtains sensor data from a plurality of sensors to calculate each feature. When an event determining unit determines the occurrence of an event based on each feature, a display data constructor generates remote-controller display data for displaying the event, and controls a remote-controller display device to display the remote-controller display data. When a user decision is input from a user input IF based on this display, a control unit controls the sensors to be turned ON or OFF. When an infrared sensor detects an abnormality, a microwave sensor whose power consumption is small after the infrared sensor is turned ON. When the microwave sensor detects an abnormality, a video camera and a microphone are turned ON, and the microwave sensor is turned OFF. A communication unit wirelessly transmits an image signal captured by the video camera and an audio signal processed by the microphone.

Abstract: A metal gasket for cylinder head 1 of plate lamination type, comprises two base metal plates each of which includes cylinder holes, circumferential beads formed around the peripheries of individual cylinder holes, cooling water holes formed outside the peripheries of the circumferential beads, and an outer bead formed and positioned so as to entirely enclose the circumferential beads and the cooling water holes, wherein the circumferential beads of the two base plates are aligned in the direction of thickness of the metal gasket. Claw-like protrusions are provided for one of an outer step adjustment metal plate and extending from the cooling water jacket to the outer edges of the base plates, and a thicker inner step adjustment metal plate 4 extending from inside the circumferential beads to the cooling water jacket, into engagement holes in the other of the inner step adjustment plate and the outer step adjustment plate.

Abstract: A data access apparatus has a memory portion including plural memory banks. A data storage control portion stores the pixel data in the plural memory banks with the pixel data being divided into the plural memory banks based on information on an access pattern of plural pixels set on a predetermined screen. A data access control portion reads pixel data relative to the plural pixels specified by the access pattern at the same time from the plural memory banks at each set position in which the set position of the access pattern moves from the start position thereof toward a pixel row direction. A selector portion transmits pixel data corresponding to respective pixels constituting each of the groups of pixels based on correspondence information on input and output. Each group of pixels includes a center pixel and peripheral pixels positioned at a periphery of the center pixel.

Abstract: A multi-sensor camera compares status describing data which is described based on a determining rule and sensor data outputted from a microwave sensor with a notification determining table sent from a processing box. If it is determined that an event is notified, the multi-sensor camera sends notifying image data to the processing box, and presents the sent data on a presenting unit. A user inputs, based on a predetermined detecting condition, the determination on the notification need of the event detected based on the sensor data outputted from the sensor. A unit for learning the determining rule adjusts the predetermined condition used for the detection based on the input determination and the feature of the event, and updates the notification determining table so as to notify the event which needs the notification and prevent the notification of unnecessary event.
